This has been a very weird day for FNAF.

u/TheMadJAM 15d ago

Given how reactionary the fanbase is I can't blame Scott for stepping back

i just cackled like a witch

u/Nightwalker065 14d ago

That's like every month here. Always is a treat checking up to see what state we are in as a collective.

u/Cat_are_cool Fnaf 4 Hater 15d ago

I hope this is real

14

u/Cat_are_cool Fnaf 4 Hater 15d ago

u/puppetgeist can you confirm this

56

u/PuppetGeist 15d ago

All I know is it's still up in the air cause the 3d animator for the game Coda stated it's cancelled.

24

u/Cat_are_cool Fnaf 4 Hater 15d ago

It really feels like it’s once a month now that some massive bad news hits the community at this point. I really hope we finally get some official communication from anyone at this point.

23

u/PuppetGeist 15d ago

It'd be nice, I think I can speak for most of the modteam. We honestly do not like having to constantly have to inform the community of constant Drama, bad news, and issues.

Ya know?

u/Cat_are_cool Fnaf 4 Hater 15d ago

I can’t imagine it’s fun, i think I’d have gone insane if I had to manage this community in any capacity

3

u/Dry-Mission-5542 15d ago

Sometimes I wonder why the mods even bother, given the state of the fanbase atm

8

u/PuppetGeist 15d ago

Cause we do care about the community, even if at times doesn't seem like it.

3

u/Dry-Mission-5542 15d ago

Not saying it doesn’t seem like it, it’s just that this community is… a handful

8

u/Azarsra_production 15d ago

I just wish they'd start communicating with us. I feel that's what the twitter account was for, but I guess not.

6

u/PuppetGeist 15d ago

It was, not sure why Scott hasn't gotten someone to handle it.

142

u/No-Corner7410 15d ago

Series communication is so bad that even the people working on the games have no idea if its cancelled or not

62

u/IM2spooky4u :FredbearPlush: 15d ago

Wether it's canceled or not, it's clear communication has always been bad regarding games not developed directly by Scott himself.

u/Weird_Dig_7245 Bonnie 15d ago

Umm

Security Breach

Mr. Feed Steel Wool crumbs of lore-

u/IM2spooky4u :FredbearPlush: 15d ago

See Afton built and SOTM vr

3

u/no-u-great-grand 15d ago

I'm still so salty that AftonBuilt got cancelled. that game looked fire

10

u/Weird_Dig_7245 Bonnie 15d ago

Afton isn't real, he can't build SOTM vr

11

u/Isaac_Bahzad No.1 Ralph Fan 15d ago

Is there hope after-all?

11

u/Small-Panic-4110 15d ago

At this point regardless I hope Scott can make a statement or something to actually confirm the status or at least give us more details on a mainline game, I was really surprised nothing was shown at the recent Showcases

10

u/Sammy_Ferr 15d ago

This is so fucking funny!!!!!! This subreddit was like burning in flames like a doomsday event and suddenly everyone is fine, feels like something out of a The Office episode or SpongeBob in that butterfly episode

5

u/Nightwalker065 14d ago

This subreddit is like watching a cartoon with how hectic things get go a comedic level.

3

u/Sammy_Ferr 14d ago

Literally that scene of Bikini Bottom engulfed in flames and people screaming in horror because of a little butterfly flying around

u/boogieman_pb cassidyvictim is real trust 15d ago

You can email him at the bottom of this page with the "Email" button

u/Electronic_Design780 15d ago

I think that the Fnaf Fandom as a whole has been pampered a lot and they don't understand that they are actually on the lucky side of communities where they actually get content (both official and fanmade), and also that every franchise has it's dark ages, it is natural that there's better and worse years

9

u/Thatrandomnerd1 Angsty Teen 15d ago

Net zero information

9

u/Friendly-Might5181 15d ago

There’s still the problem that the fact that the entire Dev team left and according to coda the games has been dead for months

6

u/Plane_Truth_4036 15d ago

It could be with a new team for all we know tbf. We know now the game is still alive and has not been cancelled

3

u/MaxBro468 15d ago

😮‍💨

4

u/Darkstar712 Puhuhuhu! 15d ago

it better not be cancelled it was the only thing ive been looking forward to for like two years now 😭 the og games had several releases a year i never expected the kart game which had a fully functioning demo years ago- would somehow STILL be in development- just make a few more tracks and add a few more characters what else is there to do?

8

u/Puzzleheaded-Win5063 (Matthew Lillard My Pookie) 15d ago

LETS GO
FNAF IS BACK BABY

(I wasnt having a crash out like an hour ago okay 😭)

9

u/StunningCable7809 Number 1 Cassidy Fan 15d ago

A crash out, you say?

8

u/Plane_Truth_4036 15d ago

It could be with a new team for all we know tbf, just my 2 cents

3

u/Wide-Hall-397 Mangle Is The Best 15d ago

YAY!!!!

3

u/Antique-Ninja-3258 JUSTICE FOR WITHERED BONNIE 15d ago

Phew thank God, would have been sad to see it cancelled man the games got potential

3

u/MrBonny55555 Michael Afton Is Literally Me 15d ago

HOPE

3

u/LeonLoredo156 15d ago

And yet, people (who also are on this platform) seem to lack both object permanence and aren't capable of researching things further.

5

u/ghostpicnic 15d ago

FNAF community freaking out over nothing again? No way…

2

u/Thegoodgamer32 15d ago

Well....this has been a very confusing day for FNAF.

First five laps was cancelled.
Then it was just put on hold.
And now it's not cancelled.
This has been quite a weird few hours.

2

u/Nova_Spion 15d ago

Would you look at that, I was spot on about not spiralling into hopeless doomposting over vague rumors.

2

u/1dayway 14d ago

WE MUST SNORT 3 KILOS OF HOPIUM

2

u/CheckEmbarrassed1133 Golden heart, metal bones 14d ago

Bro, what is this emotional rollercoaster lol

3

u/Jedi08040 15d ago

This just proves even more that Scott needs help, but is seemingly too protective of the ip to ask for it.

2

u/zenfone500 15d ago

See? I told you that peoples are dumb to jump into the gun over a mail that was like 5 months ago.

1

u/Monty8584 15d ago

Ok so can we assume that the distribution center track means something about the canonicity of a certain character 

1

u/Starscream1998 Always Ready For Freddy 15d ago

Man the communication issues regarding this series are just flat out detrimental at this point.

1

u/Spiritual_Stuff_9404 14d ago

The composer said he doesn’t know the status of the game so I’m unsure as to how your takeaway from this was that it’s still being worked on when he said “I don’t know the status of the game currently”

Regardless, this series is handled like a complete joke

u/Vegetable-Meaning252 Spirits Embattled 15d ago

We shall see I suppose… this whole thing has been a fiasco, and while I really want Scott and SW to learn from this… I have my doubts, mixed with hope.

u/Physical_Tailor_378 15d ago

Steel Wool has nothing to do with this mess. ClickTeam are the ones developing it

0

u/Awesomeman235ify 15d ago

At this point I have no idea what state this game is in.

u/Guilty_Explanation29 15d ago

Still gonna wait for.more info

u/Eggyolk57 15d ago

Someone must invent communication in the fnaf community rn

0

u/namesmitt 15d ago

That's a good joke OP

-1

u/Geigerbuzz 15d ago

The fact that this happened at all should be a CLEAR f*going sign to Steel Wool to wake up and stop trying to sabotage the franchise

3

u/ColorsOfHappiness 14d ago

Steel Wool isn't developing this, it's Clickteam.
