"What is The Return To Freddy's: Heart and Soul?"
The Return To Freddy's: Heart and Soul is my take on remaking TRTF 1. In my personal opinion (and you are fully welcome to disagree with me) a lot of TRTF remakes fail to retain the feel of the original game, or as some might call it, the heart and soul. To hopefully remedy this, I'm taking matters into my own hands!
"I sure do wonder what this game will look like!"
In this game, you will find that every asset from the original game has been painstakingly recreated by yours truly, and any asset that isn't a recreation of one from the original game has been edited in the style of TRTF 1 and classic fnaf edits from the time. This means only using assets found in FNAF 1 + 2, as well as any teasers leading up to both games.
Basically everything is as close to identical as it originally looked as I could get it, excluding things like stolen renders seen in the original game, as I have created new edits to replace them. I also decided to change any graphical things that are just not fun to look at, like the absolutely abysmal main menu static TRTF 1 has.
You can see an example of this in the newspaper, where instead of the stolen Nexus Drakeson Freddy render, there's whatever this thing is!
"But what about the gameplay? I GOTTA know about the gameplay!"
The mechanics of this game have been designed in a way that stay as close to the original game as possible, while still creating a fun and engaging gameplay. Four out of the seven characters seen in normal gameplay still have the mask as their deterrent, but they are made different through how they each go about reaching the office.
Here's a little sneak peek at the Marionette. I wonder how much you can gather about the gameplay from this one screenshot...
I won't say what exactly the rest of the game's mechanics are yet, but know that I am very happy with how they are fitting alongside each other.
"Sugar the cat. Where is she."
As part of the 'replacing stolen models with edits' thing I mentioned before, she's uh... not here. But, she's got a replacement!
Say hello to Spice!
This green feline is basically my take on what Tyler could have done with the Sugar character instead of just completely scrapping her when he updated the game from FNaF 3 Fan-Made to The Return To Freddy's.
She's made up of parts from Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Mangle since the toy animatronics are what the original Candy character is modeled after. As strange as she looks, I'm really happy with how she turned out.
"Wow! This all looks so TRTF! That's really something!"
Why thank you! I think I've shared about all I have to say about this game now, and I really hope you all like it as much as I've has fun working on it.
