Fnaf World... holy crud.
I really thought Scott was in over his head. The whole point was making cute things scary, and now... he goes and does this. An rpg adventure somehow showcasing every fnaf character at any point in time ever. ALL of them. His claim? That fnaf haters would appreciate it... HAHAHAHAHA no. Sure enough, we buy it. Honestly we accept anything Scott corks out of his bum. Let's all go to the happy rainbow land of magic and fun. We are officially MLP. Hey, considering how this looks like MLP, maybe that helps make people understand there's more questionable things people like?... no offense of course. I WANT to assume that's Scotts mindset. My mindset was that this is a joke. Well after the FNaF World site went down for an hour or so... this popped up for an hour. The game IS a joke...

... Scott... you never intended happy fun times did you...?








Also I don't blame you if you close this thread or remove the creepy pic or anything, jersus crispies just look at that thing...

I would buy it and play it probably, and I never played any of the older ones. It's an RPG, so as long as it has good RPG aspects, then why should it matter where the idea comes from?

honestly I'm kind of on board with Zander on this one. If it is a good RPG then I'd consider playing it. The fact that it is FNAF puts me off but if I hear enough good things about the RPG side of the game then I wouldn't stay away completely.

I'm not going to go out and get it first chance I get though. I imagine the game is going to rely too much on the characters and not enough on any sort of real story. Oh wait, that's the other games too

I don't find the pic very scary.

I never liked FNAF for various reasons but knowing me I'll probably have a look at what it is about when it is released.

FNaF is terrible.
The story behind FNaF.... is terrible.
Making a FNaF RPG.... is a terrible idea.

At this point, the only reason he's making FNaF games is because of publicity and money. He doesn't have anything to contribute. Nothing new or fantastic, just shovelware.

At least Johnathan Blow has something to contribute other than an RPG involving animatronic gay animals... I don't understand how scott can call himself an indie dev.

But anyway, mini rant aside I still think this is a terrible idea.

How are you going to make a scary turn based RPG? Is he just not going for the scary factor anymore?

It doesn't work and the only crowd to buy this and think it's good are fanboys who blindly follow the fandom because they're gay.

EDIT: typos wee

NintendoFanKimmy : This is a pretty solid possibility. FNaF is about as crazy and schizophrenic a fanbase as one can get, right up there with the likes of Sonic in the categories of weird, odd, and insane. While I've never cared of FNaF, I know full well of many facets of its fanbase.

I've felt like, from the start, the later FNaF games have had these sorts of hints of possible satire of fanbase. Seriously, Golden Freddy? But hey, that's just what I think of it all.

FNAF should've never gone beyond one game since the series' only focus is animatronics, and not to mention that the gameplay is extremely boring to both play and watch. It is one of many first person horror games on steam that use jump scares, and steam is already oversaturated with that sort of crap. But, my question is how do you convert the dumbest horror series into a freakin' rpg. It's like if Konami made a turned based strategy game of Silent Hill

NintendoFanKimmy :

This. The FNaF fanbase has become absolutely atrocious. I've seen them ranked up there with Sonic and MLP and now with Steven Universe (because we all have to admit the SU fandom is bonkers and insane). 

I enjoyed the games. I'm 100% guilty of watching Markiplier play through them (I'm trash I know ;-. I enjoyed the story and how things tied in, but FNaF 4 was a huge letdown imo. It didn't fit in with any of the others and added nothing to it except more questions. And nothing has ever been really answered. It's all about fan theories. 

I've seen some good RPG horror games before. I think it can be done, but I thought the new FNaF world was where you designed your own Pizza Place? Or am I missing something? If it is an RPG horror game, I'm scared it's not going to be like anything I've played before--Ib and that one witch game I can't even remember what it's called aaa forgive me ;-;. I think he's just cranking out games now for more cash, sadly. 

NintendoFanKimmy : Well about time he starts giving up... or rather actively seek to destroy what he's created.
Won't miss FNAF too much... I got a new indie game to obsess over...

Honestly everything beyond the first game was a cash in, just re using the same concept which gameplay wise by no means were enough to warrant a sequel and everything beyond the second is just downright shovelware looking at it purely as a game and ignoring the story aspects.

So yeah I'm likely not going to pick up the game even if it does get good reviews. If he was truly interested in making an engaging RPG he would come up with a new original idea in stead of plastering the same characters on it because he knows they will sell.

FNaF fanboys/fangirls might get a kick from it though if only for the FNaF "lore" (which I still don't like calling it because of how barebones it is) that will likely be added upon the release of the game, which seems to be the maindraw for most people who like the series in stead of the actual gameplay (I mean heck I know a lot of proclaimed fans have only watched people play the games and not played it themselves) therefore I expect it will still be a big success in terms of sales.

My opinion though, if you can still enjoy the series go for it.

NintendoFanKimmy : I would like to believe that were it not for the fact that he's actually making the game, If he's criticizing his own fanbase for becoming ridicolous he shouldn't go ahead and add to that. He seems to be just sucking the frarnchise dry for any money he can at this point.

Zlinqx :  Honestly everything beyond the first game was a cash in

I agree 100%


Thing that makes me kinda sad...I really did like the first FNAF game.
Yeah, it was based off Jump scares with are the lowest method of horror, but it built tension well.
It made you manage your resources and gave you options to drive you self crazy in anticipation.
Yeah it was pretty simple, but it had a nice ambiance. I wasn't thinking about a story either. I was just enjoying the atmosphere and simple but almost elegant mechanics.


Then it blew up and suddenly you had a new game with 3 times the number of critters, and a lot more vague hints at a lore to make it appear to have depth. New mechanics, but functionally the same, and an unnecessary addition. It just got worse from there.

First, I think the idea of a game built around a jump scare is weak but the creator's bank account is bigger than mine so who am I to talk?

it's a simple game, it has a simple premise, and a ton of people paid money to play it.  That's how the economy works and there's a need and desire fulfilled by the game creation.  Good for everyone who had fun with it.

I think it's much more interesting to see how many ideas came out behind a simple game.  There are all the backstories, the histories, the conspiracy theories... the cultification of the game is impressive.  I mean, look at some of the older FNAF posts on this website.  Those have more posts than threads about religion, economics, politics, and that speaks to the level of interest.

FNAF beats presidential elections for websites like this.

So.... of course an RPG would kill it.  It would answer all those questions the fanbase has.

It makes total sense.  You don't need a jump scare at that point.  You, as a fan, need answers.

We all know all the kids gonna buy that **** and Scott getting some mad cash!

(I'm such good artist!)

I dunno! Maybe I will buy the game and the game is actually good. But I doubt that it will because the game doesn't look like a good RPG to me. I would rather play his old Bible games than to play FNAF world.

First of all...this game was originally a $5 steam game. Just keep that in mind.

I'm amazed by how much people love to hate on this game. It's not that bad. It's certainly not amazing.

But seriously, if you don't care about it so much, why not, you know, play something else instead of giving a speech proclaiming your unjust hatred towards a game?

If you don't like it, that's okay. So be it. But tell me, where does all of the hate come from? Would someone please mind telling me?

I actually tried the game. It's not worth it. It could be free, and it would still not be worth it.

As a Fnaf game, it's on par with the others. Is that good? God not.

It fails in every level. The art is terrible. The gameplay is bad. The story is terrible. As an rpg, it's terrible. As a game, it's terrible.

Now, let's say it's supposed to be a parody of the original games, or the fanbase.

Even still, it's hostelry terrible.

This is just a petty excuse for a quick buck. And that's giving it a compliment.

maguc : Tell that to Markiplier. I went and found the first fnaf game's first video from him, and LAUGHED. The guy looked like he was playing Amnesia, Resident Evil 4, and Silent Hill at the same time. And he's STILL looking at spin-offs of the game apparently! I'm with taterii though, why are people either like maguc or Markiplier when it comes to this game? It isn't a game you should spend months with, but it isn't a soul-wrenching experience like Sonic 06 or Bubsy 3D. So why care?

Amiably Otaku : Well, Markiplier depends on the latest games. I love Markiplier, but it's his job to get reactions. Look at any let's player. They usually if not aways over-react. Because that makes for more views. Some reactions are genuine, but some aren't.

taterii :

First FNAF game wasn't bad, though. It wasn't great, but it was alright. And if you see his let's play of the 2nd/3rd game, he even says "I don't think the series should continue."
Actually, the first and second ones were good games.

But you can actually see the fact that Scott started caring more about money. The games got lazier. He started pumping them out faster. Look at the games before FNAF. Scott doesn't know how to make good games.

I don't hate a game that has the words "FNAF" just because it's a FNAF game. Like I said, I did enjoy the first and second one. But a bad game is bad, irrelevant of the name.

Like, Mega-man is an amazing game series. But it does have it's share of bad games. And they're bad.

"Where does this hate come from?"

The answer is very simple: The fact that people keep praising it and throwing money at a mediocre game-maker, when it very clearly doesn't deserve that anymore. It's like m. night shyamalan, George Lucas, The Wachowskis (Yeah, I'm bringing movie directors into this, so what?)

What do these people have in common with Scott? They all have big hits. Star Wars Episode IV, The Matrix, The 6th Sense, and FNAF. These were really good. Huge hits. And they deserved the praised. What happened was it got to their heads. They started thinking that they could do nothing wrong. So, naturally, they did whatever they wanted to. And guess what? The subsequent movies (In this case, games) started getting worse and worse. But the original fanbase was still there, so they defended it, no matter how bad it was. The creators got praise they didn't deserve, so they didn't do anything to change it. And it just kept getting worse and worse.

And that's literally the same thing that happened with Scott. If it was done carefully, and he learned from each game to get better strengths and stuff, FNAF could have been a great, fantastic series.

And I would compare FNAF World to Sonic 06 or Bubsy 3D. It's terrible. I can give you tons of reasons why.

maguc : I see what you're saying. So I guess it's joined the ranks of bad games that people will continuously throw their money at. :/
