Update: Bug's fixed, uploaded final public release including apk file.
There's currently a bug in this build regarding Fredrika not attacking the player. I'm trying to track it down but I ran out of time today, I'll post the updated build when I get a chance in the morning.
This week I (almost) finished up the public release of F*NAF, except for the bug mentioned above. The new additions from the previous build are:
Chica will no long...
This week I finished Mangle's implementation for arcade mode, started Mangle's story night, and added some audio cues. I also think I fixed a long standing issue with audio clips sometimes having a very compressed/staticy sound to them.
Mangle, Fredrika, and The Puppet will now queue up in the right hallway, waiting to be let in. This was substantially more challenging than I thought it would be, mostly due to Fredrika's AI being really old and messy. One of the growing pains of F*NAF 1...
2019-07-26 22:24:30 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I finished Mangle's game over animation as well tried to address a couple bugs.
Some users reported that Mangle was not active through the night, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue but I did notice there were some issues with AI navigation that would cause Fredrika to sometimes get stuck on the stairs. I rebuilt the navigation map which should fix Fredrika's issue and may also have fixed Mangle's issue if it was tied to finding a path to the player. If Mangle is still inac...
This week I mostly worked on animations for Mangle.
Tipping Mangle $5 or $20 now has a new animation, I'd like to add one more small animation for $20 specifically. This animation will be specifically for $5 after that animation is added.
I also completed a transition and a new loop for Mangle's Game Over scene. I'm experimenting with having a "rapid-fire" loop right before the animation's climax to see if the result ends up being better than one long climax transition. I also a...
Since this is the first build of the month access codes have been reset, you'll need to get a new one from the usual source before accessing this build.
This week I animated Mangle's "Receiving a tip", "Walk Cycle", "Waiting at Door", and "Jump Scare" animations. I also implemented her "attacking" if she isn't paid quickly enough. There's just a few oversights that need to be addressed before I consider her "fully implemented" such as her not waiting in line behind The Puppet/Fredri...
2019-07-05 17:44:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I fixed one last localization issue in the last public build and started implementing Mangle's AI into the game.
Mangle's game play will revolve around requesting "tips" periodically throughout the night in denominations of $1, $5, or $20. $1 tips will be the cheapest way to keep her busy throughout the night while $20 tips will reduce the number of times she needs to be tipped, but will be more expensive. Currently her walking and "attacking" animations are not fin...
2019-06-29 03:55:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I attempted to fix some lingering bugs related to positioning and saving items on the player's desk. Several players complained that they were still experiencing issues such as furniture being stacked on top of each other in the middle of the desk, furniture facing the wrong way, or furniture disappearing.
I went through each issue and think I found the cause of each. However, this issues seem to pop up at random on different machines, so if you were experiencing any iss...
2019-06-21 13:41:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe attached beta has no DRM attached, if you're a $1 patron you can snag it here a few hours early from the actual public release.
Update: I found/was notified of a couple more bugs to iron out (right clicks not working in desk setup, and the "purchase sound" in Mangle's shop being extremely loud) I've uploaded the latest build to this post and deleted the old one.
I finished all the work that needed to be done on 0.09's public release. New stuff...
2019-06-14 22:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostSince this is the first beta build of the month all of last month's access codes have expired, you will need to get a new one from the usual source.
This week I worked on some final bug squashing and polishing in anticipation for a public release in the next few days. I also added some final items to the shop: meters that can be used to track how angry/bored Foxy/The Puppet are respectively.
Game over scenes can now be controlled with the keyboard, making Foxy's g...
2019-06-08 00:42:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I started work on Mangle's shop that will be available at the end of each night. You'll notice that all of the items except for the alarm clock and the monitor have been removed from the player's desk. These items will now need to be purchased from Mangle after working a night. Mangle's stock will eventually need to be unlocked through achievements but that's further down the line (as in version 0.11 or later), right now her store will be fully stocked from the beginning.
<... 2019-06-01 01:53:09 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I added 5 color coded dildo's that will "disable" each of the animatronics already in the game for the rest of the night. These items will eventually be single-use and intended to help players get whichever game over animation they're looking for, or to reduce the difficulty of the game further than what the pictures currently do. Each dildo except for the puppet's comes with a unique animation, I still need to add some way to hide the lack of a transition to the animation (probably...
2019-05-25 01:57:15 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I finished adding the posters that will eventually be added to Mangle's shop. The posters have the effect of increasing the difficulty level of their pictured characters by one (easy to normal, normal to hard, hard to "nightmare"). I'm still figuring out exactly how I would like the items to be purchased, I'd like them to be "unlocked" by completing certain challenges. One idea I have is the shop being available after the night and the items available in the shop depending on the ce...
2019-05-11 02:15:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis week's beta build was mostly hammering out the final bugs that were left behind from the recovery process.
I also added new animations to Mangle's Game Over scene.
The right click menu in the Desk Setup (and in the toy box) will now "grow" away from the edge of the screen, hopefully reducing instances of buttons appearing off-screen.
I also added the ability to store desk items away for later user, in the desk setup scene all you need to do is right click the item...
2019-05-03 23:38:36 +0000 UTC View PostI had to resort to rebuilding the last beta build from a back up but I was able to recover everything pre-corruption. I'll try and be more careful around updating the Unity Editor next time, most of the issues arose from old code and the way that old animations and models were imported. I also threw some new stuff in the build such as the ability to move every item on your desk around to a configuration that you like best.
To modify your desk layout:
Under the "Play" menu click "De...
Important: as a last minute thing I tried to update the unity editor to address an issue with other software. The update to the editor made a complete mess of my files and as a result there will be no beta build this week. This could take me hours to fix or I may need to resort to restoring to a back up I don't have the time to look today as it was going to be the last thing I did before building. If I have it fixed before next week I'll update this post with the beta build.<...
2019-04-27 01:21:30 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I added the first stage of Mangle's game over animation. The results for the poll are in and the winner was vaginal/amazon so that will be the position Mangle. It's definitely going to be the most logistically challenging position I've animated so it will be a good litmus test for the new rig.
I also added on and off sounds to the cheats to give you some feedback letting you know the cheat was activated. The "On" sound is the usual one that has been used previously and the "O...
There's a new poll up on Smutcube.com to determine what position mangle will be performing for her game over. This one will function slightly different to other polls in that it's essentially two polls in one: First you can cast a vote between Vaginal or Anal, then you can cast a vote for which position you would like. I'm testing this method out instead of having two polls, hopefully it's intuitive enough for most people.
2019-04-13 19:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll results for Mangle's game over scene are in and the winner was vaginal/anal, a subsequent poll will be posted tomorrow to determine the specifics of that animation.
This week I mostly did some modeling for "F*NAF 2" , experimenting with baking normal maps and practicing retopology. The sex bots in "F*NAF 2" will be made up of individual parts such as a breast plate, a genital plate, different limbs and different heads. This should allow F*NAF 2's sex bots to be custom built wit...
2019-04-12 22:36:03 +0000 UTC View PostOver the past year the SmutCube Patreon has been substantially more successful than I ever anticipated. Last April I was making less than $100 a month; to my surprise that number has grown 16 fold over the past 12 months and I'm quickly approaching the $2,000 milestone which is when I advertised that I would be able to support myself financially off Patreon alone. So, thank you to all my supporters who are making this dream a reality. I hope that once I can do this full time I can really star...
2019-04-07 02:59:11 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I built a new rig for Mangle and started animating her. The new rig uses a lot of constraints to automatically do some of the animation work for me, so theoretically I should be able to animate faster. Whether or not that proves to be the case or I just end up fixing errors done by the automated process remains to be seen. Mangle is going to be the guinea pig for this new rig, if I like it it will also be used by Spring Trap.
I also finished overhauling the in game controls s...
This is going to be a long rambling post, and it's largely irrelevant for most patrons, but if you used to get my games at GameJolt you might want to know why you won't be able to anymore.
The tl;dr is that I closed the GameJolt account due to how I personally felt about GameJolt's user base giving me the impression they were mostly underage.
As some of you may or may not have noticed, the GameJolt page for SmutCube no longer exists. I personally took it down this week after...
2019-03-30 02:23:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I started working out how the new items from mangle's shop will be implemented into the existing gameplay. The first of these items will be the radar which was partially implemented as a cheat previously so naturally it was the easiest to add. I also closed my GameJolt account, I'll be making a public post regarding this shortly.
The control aspect for the new items will be as clickable props inside of the office, the radar is sitting just right of the monitor in the latest b...
This week I did a few bug fixes and reworks in anticipation of the character poll closing. The winning option was Mangle the shop keeper, she's been added to the game map but she still needs to be animated.
I also fixed a couple of the cheats not working in Bonnie/Fredrika's scene (Golden Fredrika for Fredrika and Oversized breasts for Bonnie).
It was also brought to my attention that PC users who use trackpads might be unable to control the game over scenes with the p...
2019-03-22 18:16:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll to determine what gets added in V0.09 has concluded and the winning option is a new character. There's a new poll up on smutcube.com to determine which character it is that will be added.
2019-03-19 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere's a new poll to determine what gets added in V0.09, go to http://smutcube.com/VotingHome.php to vote!
This week's beta build is mostly fixes for bugs such as incorporating the new "oversized breast" cheat into the game for all characters and their game over scenes. In some cases this required ripping out the old physics scripts I was using on them and adding the new script in. It's important to note that t...
I finished Version 0.8 this week and also added a new reskinned Bonnie to the toy box: Golden Bonnie. I'm still looking out for bugs before the official public release which should happen very soon (likely tomorrow). I want to thank everyone who supported the development of 0.08, without you this game would still be on 0.02. As per my usual custom I'll be hold a handful of polls over the next couple of weeks and then moving on to Version 0.09.
2019-03-09 00:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I worked on finishing up the Bonne and Fredrika scene. I finished the "climax" animation and started adding sounds to the animation. I just need to add a post climax scene, finish adding sounds, and then attach the animations to the toy box. Then I'll be ready for a public release. I'm debating whether or not to finish this in the middle of the week and upload it, I'd like to get the public release out as soon as possible.
2019-03-03 00:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo Patreon has sent out an e-mail to all creators letting us know that they're expecting payment processing to take two days this month. They also let us know that unprocessed patrons will still have access during the processing window and have suggested that we postpone pledge fulfillment until processing is completed.
I'm going to be taking their advice and so the "Friday" update this week will actually be a "Saturday" update. This is somewhat fortuitous for me as there's still a lot ...
2019-03-01 09:09:11 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the later than usual update, I usually try and have them out a few hours earlier than this. The biggest set back was actually trying to break apart that asset I had recently added for the new map. However, after I had dismantled the entire file and separated it into over a hundred new files I found that it didn't affect file size what so ever, and the main culprit was the very high resolution textures included. I deleted the textures I'm not using which brought down the file size ab...
2019-02-23 01:52:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I finished work on the 3rd animation stage for the Fredrika/Bonnie threesome and finished the transition animation for the 5th stage. I'll try to add more stages than the usual one on one animations have since the threesome animations will be inherently more difficult to get.
I also continued work building up the new game map and added a stand-in Mangle to the toy box where her character will stand once implemented.
There's also a new cheat, "Oversized Boobs" that in...
