Progress Update 02/01/25

There are more details on the progress of the game in the Discord.

I've been working on getting a build ready, but I've run into more and more opportunities to fix things that will improve the future development of the game. I'm hoping to have a limited version of the build with a team of 5 Fredrika's out soon to demonstrate the new features' capabilities. The TL;DR of the new features would be that Fredrika can use either door, there can be any number of Fredrika's running at a time, ...

2024 Year in Review

First of all, I want to just get the message out to join the Discord, I'll be moving a lot of the discussion and updates over there (more on why below). If you haven't already, here's how you can link your accounts and get access to the Discord:
Getting Discord access – Patreon Help Center

Also secondly, a quick update on what I'm working on right this minute, bec...

Long over due update 11/25/24

These past few weeks I've been working away at getting the overhaul to the game into a working state and I have come with good news: it should be done, with some exceptions. The nights currently do not award achievements and are not unlocked by completing the previous night in a campaign and holiday events have still not been tested.

For those unaware I have been fighting with a long standing "do everything" script which almost every script in the game relied upon. It was a cheap fix I...

Halloween Update 2024 - Endless Build

This Month I've continued working on getting the game to a playable state, and I am almost there. The attached build is still a work in progress for the new changes to how nights are loaded and stored which has required overhauls to the most major piece of code in the game. However, the attached build isn't fully done and really just demonstrates a new feature: endless mode.

You'll immediately be brought into endless mode when you start this build, It's a mode that starts the bots out ...

Very Late Update 10/15/24

I am working on getting something playable, the game is in a pretty nuked state at the moment and many things need to be rebuilt.

Hey everyone, sorry I missed the last update, I've had a very rocky October so far. I am travelling and during that time I also had a small and dumb personal emergency that wasn't as serious as my brain made it out to be but made it impossible for me to work for a few days. On top of that I am in the middle of a rug pull on the old code that is really the mo...

Weekend Update 09/29/24

This week I went back to working on the night overhaul that I had been implementing before i decided to work on making improvements to the game map.

The end goal is that this upgrade will be seamless except that it would allow custom nights, either as a cheat or as a reward for beating Goldie, probably both. For more technical stuff you can read the other paragraphs, but like I said it should be invisible. I'm also looking at overhauling how the bots' AI handle timing their events to ...

Friday Update 09/20/24

This week I trimmed old and unused textures, sound effects, and other assets from the game's files in order to get the file under 200 MB so I can upload it to Patreon. When the game does get impossible to get under that size (currently it's at 192/200) I'll use MEGA or SmutCube.com, but I find uploading it here is the best and most convenient place for patrons. I also fixed an issue with the lightmaps that still existed causing some...

Weekend Update 09/15/24

Real quick, I've run into the issue that FuckNAF is now too big to upload to Patreon, even compressed. The file limit is 200 MB, so I'm looking for alternatives and will let everyone know when the latest beta build is available for download.

This week I fixed a myriad of bugs, including the lightmaps (finally) and finished the tools needed to automate the baking of two sets of lightmaps. The other bugs that were fixed are:

The camera during game over scenes crashing into the gro...

Weekend Update 09/08/24

This week I continued working on the map, running into some issues/learning opportunities with the new shelving units behind Mangle. I also remade the shoplifting warning sign and made a sign for Mangle's shelves and finished all the modules boxes so that they all have unique text and use the new style I switched to which uses Unity to generate. I also fixed and polished up Springtrap and Foxy's photo a small amount (more details in Discord).

So when making Mangle's shelves I had a par...

Photo updates 09/01/24

With the new text system I also changed the font at the top, and started adding the text to the boxes. Only Mangle's is done so the other bots have her text as a place holder. I want to try to add an unhinged feature to each of them as a joke and cover them up like the one on Mangle's box.

Weekend Update 09/02/24

This week's build will have issues with the light map once again, but I ran out of time fixing it. I know the issue, but it'll be a tedious fix. I figured it was more important to get a build, any build out.

This week I nearly finished the module boxes. Everyone has a box with art, so feel free to check them out. I'll make a second post quickly after this to add photos for quick viewing if you don't want to download and run a build just to see the new map changes.

The reas...

Weekend Update 08/25/24

Before i get started, there will be a beta build available tomorrow with all the AI modules done, I'll remove this header once the build is available.

This week I worked on making the rest of the AI modules, so far I'm about 3/4 of the way there. Following the feedback I got here and on the Discord I'll go for a more realistic style. I found a module to assign to each bot so everyone will get a box art:

Bonnie: Net Sec (her night AI)

Chica: Bondage Sub (The module ac...

Weekend Update 08/18/24

This week, following some input in the Discord, I decided to try adding more art to the signs and products that are being worked on. I'm short on time today but I need your input on the "AI module" boxes I'm making so I've uploaded screenshots since I won't be able to make a build.

For the AI modules I'm torn between 3 directions, I can either make the artwork on them realistic like Foxy's example attached, more hentai/anime styled like Fredrika's example, or I could render a pos...

Weekend Update 08/11/24

This week I finished work on updating the showroom for the most part. The upgrades include replacing the simple "square" lights with more realistic ones including large cubic lights in the showroom and cheaper fluorescent lights in the employee lounge. The texture for the fluid bottle has also been updated to have pictograms instead of only text, for better readability and sex appeal.

I'm still working on the signage around the showroom, there's a lot of empty spots on the wall and I'...

Weekend Update 08/04/24

This week I finally fixed the issue with the lightmaps and began work improving the showroom a little bit.

The issue with the lightmap was that removing the lights as I had been doing when baking the lights off map as well as another setting issue were both causing the UV's for the light map texture to change each bake. Fixing one didn't work on it's own so it took my a while to figure out since i usually try one thing and then if it doesn't work undo the change and move on to another ...

Weekend Update 07/28/24

This week I continued struggling to learn how exactly light maps work and also added the ability to toggle lights in the toybox.

In the spirit of making new debugging tools for myself and adding them to the game I've made it possible to click light switches in the toybox (or desk setup technically). When you click on a light switch now the light turns off, clicking again turns it back on, exactly how it works if Fredrika hits it. I needed a quick way to swap between lights on and...

Weekend Update 07/21/24

Warning: The build attached is extremely buggy and is being uploaded simply as a demonstration of where the game is at for the upgrades described below.

This week I continued to overhaul the night loading system but ran into continuing issues that I believe could be caused by the old version of Unity that the game was being built in (2021.1.0f1). That version was the most up to date version of Unity the last time I upgraded, but not only was that a long time ago, the v...

Weekend Update 07/14/24

This week I continued work on overhauling the night loading system to be more robust and modular.

Unfortunately this update is still not done and is proving to be a much more intense problem than I anticipated. The main issue is that the old script that existed in the game world was made that way because it was easy to "grab" other things that existed in the level so that getting a light to turn off was as simple as clicking and dragging it into the script.

The new system nee...

Weekend Update 07/07/24

This week I took a break from visual elements of Goldie and started work on one of the potential rewards for completing the campaign as well as hopefully make the loading of a new night more robust from bugs.

The way night data was previously stored was in a single master object which was loaded every night. This is inefficient and was prone to bugs due to design flaws which caused the data to sometimes not be fully reset after completing a night.

The new system I'm working on ...

Weekend Update 06/30/24

Quick note before I get into the update: I'm going to be changing how I do daily updates so that they're substantially more structured. From now on I will be making a very quick "What I plan to do today" post when I start working and then when I'm done I will post what I ended up accomplishing. I've had terrible consistency with sticking to making the updates for a long time and I'm hoping the change will fix it. The issue I'm having as I've mentioned before is that I don't like sharing when ...

06/23/24 Weekend Update - She's Alive!

This week I finished rigging Golden Fredrika's body to conduct experiments on what needs to be done as well as fixing a couple bugs that were reported and added additional in game clarification to the "Fucking Blind" achievement.

Goldie now has a simple idle animation in the Toy Box, she's still a mess under the hood: her head is still a concept mesh that needs to be topologized and textured, but her look is 90% of the way there. Some issues I've noticed are related to attempting to ha...

Weekend Update 06/16/24

This week I worked on finally getting Golden Fredrika's body textured and finalized as well as expanded on the system for letting players know when an achievement had unlocked an item in Mangle's shop.

Golden Fredrika's mesh is probably in its final state, I need to rig it all together and retexture the head, but she should soon be able to be animated, probably next week. Once that's done I'll start implementing her night into the game.

Her textures are still somewhat up in the a...

Weekend Update 06/09/24

This week I worked on making achievements able to be a requirement to purchase furniture items as well as added a proper achievement for completing Murder's night. The reward for completing her night that was briefly introduced last week is a furniture item that allows you to use the quick swap feature that was previously only available when playing Murder's night.

Originally I was going to just give the item to the player, but implementing that was troublesome due to needing to award...

Weekend Update 06/02/24

This week I finished doing the necessary work to make the cavity sheaths toggleable as well as added a new item as a reward for completing Murder's night (the 3 AM event). This build is somewhat incomplete but considering how I handled last week's build I think it's better that I upload any build rather than waiting for all the issues I have with it to be solved. I'll try to fix the issues as soon as possible and update this post when those are done.

The cavity sheaths required remaki...

Weekend update 05/27/24

This week I worked on texturing Golden Fredrika's body as well as did some quality of life improvements and general polish.

Golden Fredrika's body is still a work in progress, I'm not the best artist so my approach is to iterate over and over again until I get something I like. As soon as I make this post I will be posting screenshots from what I'm experimenting with from Substance Painter and my thoughts on where I'm at.

The quick swap function during Helloween can now b...

Weekend Update 05/19/24

This week I finished the mesh for Golden Fredrika's torso. The mesh is mostly just a retopology of the body used by the other bots with the exception of the nipples and the vagina/anus area. I reduced the detail on the nipples and the pits while increasing the detail in the crotch. Overall the mesh is half the vertices of the original. The main benefit of doing the retopology is to allow adding detailed textures to her body for normal maps, colors, and possibly emissions. I'll be working on t...

Weekend Update 05/12/24

This week I focused my attention on making Golden Fredrika a reality. First I'm working on the basics of her AI, this was started before but the new method I had used for the dialogue system worked really well so I started over with that approach. This is intended to be the first implementation of the modular AI's for "FuckNAF 2" so it needs to be as well made and flexible as possible.

The basic idea is that there will be AI goals and exit codes, the AI will check numerous metrics and ...

Weekend Update 05/05/24 Release Candidate

This week I finished all the polish I wanted to do on the tutorial and hunted down any bugs I could find. Hopefully I'll be able to release this update in the next few days as long as I don't encounter any other game breaking bugs.

The tutorial has been improved even further. I've added additional scripts to the dialogue system to check when certain conditions have been met and allow for things outside to act accordingly. For example during the tutorial nights where a context button is...

Weekend Update 04/28/24

This week I worked on bug fixes and general polish as well as adding a new way to spawn tutorial pop ups to the recently improved dialogue system. I'm also tracking an issue with audio clips sounding "weird/incorrect" that I've been told about but haven't experienced until recently. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it for everyone who has run into it by fixing it for myself.

The tutorial pop ups that appear during the story nights have been updated to give a full step by step guide of ho...

Weekend Update 04/21/24

The dialogue system and story fixes are done. There were two separate issues causing the story mode to completely fail.

The first was that the dialogue reader had changed its behavior under the hood somehow so that it was reading dialogue it had been previously skipping. The skipped dialogue was filler dialogue that was put in as a work around for bugs with the original system that was purchased from the asset store in 2018, it's possible they fixed the issues and I accidentally updat...
