Hello everyone! I'm not dead, I've been very busy with life & college and finally have some time to sit down and post an update here. Before I get started, most, if not all, of my future updates will be on my profile, so if you're interested in them do be sure to follow me.

Anyway, wow, its been 2 years since the last build of FNaF 57 Maker was released, and I have some big news today: I'd like to officially address the login/registration and level uploading issues! For those who want a TL;DR, jump to the bolded "So what does this mean?"

This is long overdue and I apologize for that, but without further ado, let me get right to it: First off, I believe I have addressed the level uploading issues in my replies to comments about them a year ago or so, but I've never made an official post about it so to prevent further confusion, level uploading and the level browser will be down for the foreseeable future. Why? Two reasons: the server I used to manage and upload levels has reached its limits due to the amount of users, and the plugin I used in conjunction with said server is outdated and does not support the latest APIs the server uses. Both of these are sadly out of my control and there's nothing that I can do to fix it.

Secondly, because of the server being overloaded, registration/login issues started popping up as most of you have experienced. Once again, nothing can be done regarding the server, but I do have some good news! For those who have a keen eye, you may have noticed I just pushed out an update for the game, v1.3.0, which has a couple of important changes:

• Removed login/registration screen (this means you should now be able to play the game without having to login/register!)

• Disabled the level browser due to the aforementioned server issues

• Modified the title logo to make it easier to tell if you're running the new fixed version, it should have REDUX on the logo.

• Made changes to loading levels from file so that it now works offline without the server

• The export button now exports the level to a file locally on your computer, which you can then share with others for them to play!

• Because all online + server features have been disabled/removed, your name in levels is now linked to your GameJolt username, so be sure to log in to GameJolt if you're creating and sharing a level with your friend(s)!

• Bugfixes relating to the removal of online features

So what does this mean? You should now be able to play the game without encountering any login/registration issues, but the online features have been disabled. How do you share and play levels? Simple! You are still able to share levels locally with others, meaning when you finish making a level, you should be able to export it to your computer as a .fsvlevel file. You can then give that file to others for them to play your level using the "Load Level from File" feature!

To check if you're running the latest version, the FNaF 57 Maker logo should have the word REDUX below it, and your version at the bottom should be v1.3.0 or higher!

Once again, I do apologize about the server issues, but this is the best I can do to make the game playable again for everyone. Feel free to post your level files in the comments or the Discord server for this game for others to try! One more thing, I have also released a Linux version of the game for any Linux users out there so that more people are able to play the game!

Thank you for your continuous support everyone, and I hope you're all still able to enjoy FNaF 57 Maker!
