Scrapped phone panel in FNaF UE 2 from 2017


I don't remember if I ever posted this here before but I will now because I thought it was lost media. FNaF UE 2 originally had a phone panel. As you can see, one of its functions was closing and opening the doors and another was fixing FNaF 3 type errors. There errors were fully coded in and functional during development, however, this entire thing had to be removed at the last minute. Testing the game at the maximum difficulty with all the characters you know in the released version turned out to be very bad. For one, it was very inconvenient and sluggish to have to go to a panel to close/open the doors rather than having the easily accessible buttons at each door, especially when you had to do it quickly. And also the errors did nothing more but to get in the way of key reactionary moments. They weren't balanced like they should have been at all and ended up breaking the flow of the game and making it plain unfair. And I also lacked the skills and mindset to salvage them in any way so the only option for me at the time was to remove them. This is probably what caused the early game to feel so empty and uneventful but at least it was balanced. The idea was interesting but the poor execution made it nothing more than a cheap gimmick. I am currently considering the idea of bringing back the phone panel but with entirely different functions and mechanics, nothing like this crap, though I don't promise anything. Ultimately it'll be ironed out during development

Can anyone tell me how the fuck this happened?! I mean I fixed it, but oh my GOD Clickteam is worse than Satan

This Withered Freddy crop is so cool in TRTF that you can see parts of the FNaF 2 Office

New findings in TRTF 1's MFA

Pwease

Another TRTF detail you didn't know about is that if Freddy, Chica or Sugar are in the office, the office would use a different sprite where the monitors are on and the lighting of the corners is slightly different

Ok but how did Tyler imitate the FNaF phone guy filter so well in TRTF 1? It's the most accurate phone guy copy in a fan game, how do I get the same result? Image unrelated

New TRTF 1 discovery - you are supposed to get a Freddy screen if you type these values in the Custom Night menu and hit the ready button (read post)
