Hey everyone!
After about 3 months of on and off work, Ever-Sleep came out a few days ago and I'm so glad I was able to finally make it. I went into it with the mindset of making something other than FNaF that I can enjoy and in the end, I managed to achieve that goal from the start. That aside, it serves as a short introduction into a Universe I want to continue exploring in the future.
As always, before I go over the actual updates here are this week's set of supporters who have left a charged sticker in the last 7 days.
If you want a shout-out and be featured in these posts, leave a charged sticker if you want.
Ever-Sleep
After years of planning on and off how I want to go about this, it's finally out! This is my first proper step away from FNaF-oriented content and it was a great experience. Everything down to the monster designs and setting makes it very clear that this is the furthest from a FNaF fangame you can get, in terms of a Dr. Cross game.
Now that it's been a while, I want to share the cast publicly:
The Phantasmagoric
The Grinning
The All-seeing
One fun fact I can say, is that the Phantasmagoric has been a monster in the back of my mind since 2017. It has undergone many redesigns throughout its conceptualisation, before settling on a mostly skeletal structure, with flesh in the head and neck areas. The other two were outliers that I redesigned 2-3 times in January, before leaving them as they are.
I very much enjoyed making these monsters and the day they return will be for the game that properly explains their origins. It really is no secret I want to make an Ever-Sleep sequel and when it happens, there will be quite a lot to see and do. Consider Ever-Sleep a teaser game, if you will.
Secret Project
With Ever-Sleep out of the way, I have been working full throttle on this. Despite it still being way to early to give out many details, I can confirm it is FNaF-related and I could make many jokes about the official title. Until its proper announcement, let's refer to it as "Freddy's Game" for now.
It has a great deal of free-roam that is tad different to how I did it before, 3 main sub-plots with their own endings and a true ending at the end of one route, familiar faces, and plenty of violent scenes/scares. The Bunny Man dev team has some idea on how violent these scares can be, so look forward to that.
All-in-all, I'm happy with the fact I'm done with Ever-Sleep and can work on other things right now. Sonic may get properly picked up again and a new FNaF project is in the works.
See you next week!
Dr. Cross
