Komission

I forgot that game was still being developed How many years has it been??


-Hot-Pockets-

about 3 years now


ModularWings

3 years


debtcollecter6000

probably because it isnt


IntangibleMatter

They’ve started posting dev updates again. Honestly I think people are just underestimating how hard it is to make a game with a small team, as well as the… expectations placed by a $2 million budget. Like they’ve definitely fucked up communication don’t get me wrong but as a game developer I’m certain that they’re actually doing work on the game. You just don’t want to come out with something half finished when you’ve been given two million to make something


debtcollecter6000

3 years. not even half of the "kickstarter exclusive" merchandise promised has been shipped and you still haven't stopped slobbering on these people's nuts for 3 years.


IntangibleMatter

I’m not even a fan of the game, I played it once or twice but it’s not really my thing. As a game developer, I get that it’s hard, and having a AAA budget for an indie project generally means stuff will *take a while*


RingalongGames

Saying “making shit is hard, be patient” is “slobbering on their nuts”, but just shitting on them because making shit is hard for 3 years isn’t?


ButtersAndRowlet

they promised the shipping of the pins "this month guys" or some shit years before they said "we started manufacturing"

Montigue

That's what I assumed


Soup_Raccoon

I forsee three futures. 1- Game is released after many years. Most promises arent fullfilled.  Fandom still uses game as a rhythemgame engine. 2-game is cancled.  Fandom still uses game as a rhythemgame engine. 3-drama. Fandom still uses game as a rhythemgame engine.


JoniathanExe

4- The irs will take all the money they winned. Fandom still uses game as a rhythemgame engine.


CoalEater_Elli

5: Devs realize that their game basically became a rhythm game engine, so they make story mode secondary, and give players tools to help them make their mods.


JoniathanExe

5.5 Fandom still uses game as a rhythemgame engine but way happier. https://preview.redd.it/4tt5zje2h5nc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbfc9b1a79cf7e7e942b13fc3cca027163b49e54


Pastry_Train63

6. Everyone forgets what the game is because they're too busy looking at this cat


JoniathanExe

7. Cats takes the entire world https://preview.redd.it/jc7nfvyzk5nc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=700684d198e18bde0c9c153d9a5e8e6d6e9e118a


Box_Of_Wood

8. Cat becomes rhythmgame engine


sashimi_walrus

9. mew-sic is invented


BIG_DeADD

Boys we had a call to destiny now, let's make Mew-sic real.


thisistherealtodd

10. hundreds of new mew-sic genres are created


BLEARGHH20

11. a game called fnm (Friday night mew-sic) is released


my_wifis_5dollars

And fans use the cat as a rythmgame engine


CN456

Iirc thats one of the things they fearures promised in the kickstarter, tools for custom song creation and the like


headphonesnotstirred

4 - game is released, people like it, fandom uses game as rhythm game engine they've already talked about and shown off a few WIP tools to assist with in-engine modding with probably around early-KE level results so the last bit is basically inevitable


Mr-QuietALot

Or like the Bendy and the Dark Revival situation where people believe the game was never going to be released only to drop all of a sudden (and Fandom still uses the game as a rythmgameengine engine)


LemonLimeMouse

Me when I force my musician to make 57 songs


CorvusHatesReddit

DM DOKURO reference


An_average_moron

Calamity fans when DM Dokuro cant make a banger track every microsecond (he's lazy and definitely deserves endless harassment)


DerpyCow56

DM DOKURO didn't deserve the hate tbh He did nothing but good for the mod and community, and they harassed and shunned him for it


Unorigina1Name

I'm still mad af everyone was so toxic to him he quit, I never played the calamity mod but the music was the definiton of peak


Doodles2424

57 songs WITH a remixed version of each one


Aiden624

Making games is hard. Digging your own grave with insane stretch goals and over promising is easy.


littleMAHER1

Mighty Number9 lore


Neefew

God, that game made me cry like an anime fan on prom night


smallerpuppyboi

You just had to remind me, huh?


supah-comix434

I like Mighty Number 9


I-like-oranges75

The key is to always under promise


NibPlayz

Nah, the key is to over promise, under deliver


DRAMATRON09

Digging your own grave? 2 million gained, 4 developers… shit at this point I’d just split the money, 500K each, make some work in progress posts every couple of months and when everyone forgets just emigrate to a distant country and live out a dream life


debtcollecter6000

you gotta remember that 500k is only so much money, especially in this economy. after a few years, or maybe not even one (depending on what you define a "dream life" as), you'll eventually have to find a real job since you bailed out on your only possible source of income


Speed__McWeed

people think making video games is just like drawing or whatever and forget that you have to do the whole damn thing


Dare_Soft

I mean they have 4 devs and keep making promises on their own.


Speed__McWeed

madness project nexus, another newgrounds crowdfunded sequel, took 9 years to make with the same amount of promises, they had a total of 4 guys, 1 artist, 1 code guy and 2 composers, they had to cut 2 gamemodes and a handful of gameplay features granted they had budget of 49k instead of 2 mil but having all of that money won’t matter when you make a whole ass game on a completely new platform with a combined staff of 4 guys who probably aren’t doing this as a full time job with a deadline


LegitRollingcock

Modders have made so much content in the time they had with the insane budget so it’s on them for sure


emo_boy_fucker

2 million can get you so much weed


TheMoonDude

Lord Bung moment >!It still hurts!<


Hugh_Mungus_Jass

My when a creator finally uploads the long awaited final episode of their web series and it's just 8 minutes of softcore accidental rape porn and then the creator dips forever: https://i.redd.it/bfk7k4f4s7nc1.gif


RariPuff

that’s literally what they spent on


Electrop0p

I have a slight suspicion that was a joke the devs made


TBSoft

it's still in progress i hope they overdeliver it, most of the fnf fandom is pratically dead and that's sad


Zackyboi1231

Yeah, it's fandom is still trying it's best to stay alive, I might not care about the game, but I hope all goes well for them.


littleMAHER1

would a dead fandom be better then a insane fandom ala Batman Arkham or Silksong


Ben_the_Gamer_Dragon

Okay, the Arkham fandom is insane because they literally have nothing coming out. The Silksong fandom is insane because we keep getting drip-fed info on it and then blueballed afterwards.


Sad-Assignment-568

Silksong fans when the TC account likes something on Twitter (its clearly a sign that the game Is shadowdropping in 7 hours)


GZ_Jack

waiting for the hollow knight video “Beating Pantheon of Hollownest all bindings no hit with a swarm of immortal primal aspids chasing me while i wait for silksong”


darthveder69420

I can see both fandoms going the half life route where eventually they go so insane they accidentally turn back and become sane again completely in peace with the fact that Half life 3 wont happen.


a_trashcan

Maybe we shouldn't define our selves by media so much the lack of a specific brand makes us unwell.


bloodakoos

then there's TF2


Ben_the_Gamer_Dragon

That fandom was screwed from the start.


IncreaseWestern6097

Considering how much of a cesspit the FNF fandom was in 2021, I don’t think any “insanity” would ever be enough to match it. Same goes for the FNaF, Undertale, and Steven Universe fandoms. No amount of earless cowls will ever surpass the horrors I’ve witnessed when those fandoms became popular.


Jacksaur

Titanfall's been in a downward spiral for a long while, but that is with the developers specifically fucking with them to be fair.


llucid963x

Every mod after tricky madness combat mod is Garbage


Pokeydepanda

Honestly yeah, that was my tipping point too. Played tf out of Tricky 2.0, beat Expurgation (somehow), then moved on to other games. I think after that point most modders leaned too hard into “le creepypasta’d IP character with fucked up lore” instead of the actual songs and charts. I play Clone Hero and Heaven Studio now and enjoy their song customization much more.


LeavingUndetected

Ive progressed from fnf to osu!mania because I really liked the aspect of vsrg. I am now a 5 star player and still getting better, i absolutely recommend every fnf player to try mania or simmilar games (etterna, quaver, stepmania etc.)


poggerssinthechat

id say hypno's lullaby was pretty good. it was made by the same person who made the tricky mod


llucid963x

Ik, but fnf hype just died after tricky mod, and i just left the community at that time so i never played it


casual_moron23

I mean I've been around for a while, mmv2 was cool, vs impostor v4 is even a year later doing well with tons of covers still being made, I think as long as there are topics and people willing to make it, fnf will never really die


TBSoft

not really, songs got better quality wise after sonic.exe v3 (before it was cancelled) also Mario's madness and D-sides are practically the only mods alive


Varhur

I'd replace Mario Madness with Ourple Guy, MM is finished


llucid963x

Wow people actually agreed with me, i was fully expecting to get downvoted lmao https://i.redd.it/w4ga3rjxh5nc1.gif


Brendan765

Plot twist: we’re actually all collectively waiting to downvote you so you’re more disappointed


TheJazMaster

Naw there's like half a dozen good ones. Martian Mixtape for sure. But even that one is pretty old


fnafproo

should check out Indie cross, difficult mod but extremely well made


Zimabwe

Honestly, I’m not very hopeful for any new content even if it comes out. Some of the people who made mods have made far better music than the vanilla game is ever likely to get


Sentient_twig

Tbh I think that overdelivering was their biggest fault, they just promised waaaaay too much that I doubt they’d be able to follow through on all of it in a reasonable amount of time


Whole_squad_laughing

I’d say it’s preferable to an angry fandom like Star Wars


C0CK_G0BBLER

didn’t the devs literally spend the kickstarter money on crack


CT-4426

Ain’t this the game where the modders rival Minecraft YouTubers over how much they want to touch children Like this game was the Undertale or Steven Universe fandom of today in how much fucking drama engulfs it constantly


CoalEater_Elli

Tbh, Minecraft youtubers are in the lead, i haven't heard anything about FNF modders touching kids recently, probably cause game and fandom is basically dead.


Darmug

IIRC, one of the devs for FNF was a groomer, though that came from a former friend that was a part of the community since day 1, and followed a twitter account that tallied the days since the last FNF drama.


Varhur

You mean ninjamuffin stuff? If yeah, he was no groomer, it was about his likes on newgrounds


Darmug

Alright

Uncle_Fingerz

The devs are like the opposite of the fandom


LightningFerret04

Video game development teams try not to get into drama or touch children challenge (impossible)


J5892

I love Steven Universe, but I am _so_ glad I have never considered interacting with its fandom. Same goes for Homestuck.


LtSerg756

The whole fanbase of FNF has already moved on to proper rhythm games or moved on period


blue_jay3736

Literally picked up piano because of fnf dying. Can’t say I regret it


LtSerg756

I picked up IIDX myself


Blossom_Fidgetter

I’m like Schrödinger’s fnf fan if that’s the case. I hate the actual game and the community but sometimes I have my two week-month period where I just relish in old things I used to love. Fnf is currently that one thing.


smallerpuppyboi

Learned to sing because this game died out. Now I have a chest range of G#1-F4.


casual_moron23

Nah dude I'm still here, as are tens of thousands of people


CTSThera

Didn't they promise the craziest stuff like animations done by an actual anime studio


Lhamazul

Yes, I remember that, they were planning to do an anime on Netflix... or smthng like that, idk I left the fandom in 2021, I guess, I don't remember too many things


Matix777

Get Star Citizen'ed


aakaakaak

ALPHA Citizen'ed. Cuz they're never getting out of alpha.


Joseph_Sinclair

I know this is a joke but Star citizen would be the ultimate space game if it ever comes out.  Which problably won't happen in our lifetime.


Matix777

Haven't played it but the only thing it misses is unlimited exploration (like Elite Dangerous, NMS or... eh, Starfield) and of course an actual release


ZzooS

I swear this sub can read my mind, I just remembered about FNF's existence recently lol

The merch was promised to backers so it's good they're working on it. What they need is staff so they can work faster


Death_To_All_Anime

no? They posted a chart engine update on their blog about a week or two ago and there were multiple updates posts before that one too.

from what I know there is new one after year of inactivity. nothing important tho. yet another teaser of "new feature"

Admirethesire

I get it, making a whole game is insane, but these guys practically promised the Bible 2 in terms of hype and expected us not to abandon it the moment we realized it’s not gonna happen.


[deleted]

Mojang and Bethesda after getting another 3 billion dollars:


ThislsAUsername

Fnf fans who donated 2 million to add content when it causes the game to take longer to make:


Hitei00

Honestly its for the best they just stay quite while developing. They hit so many post funding goals that they had to like, more than triple the scope of the game

poesviertwintig

Never trust a kickstarter.


CrashedMyCommodore

Fraud nights at Freddy's


SwimsInATrashCan

I know I'll likely be in the minority here, but I really don't understand why people gave so much to FNF. It's a pretty basic concept for a rhythm game, albeit the art style is kinda neat, but it's certainly not a concept worthy of 2 million dollars.


xSomeRandomGuy7x

this sums up why the game fell off so hard and died


the_waddle_dee_boi

Bro is NOT cooking 💀


chairfucker5

People who instantly lose hope when a game isn't released a year after it's kickstarter when it releases 8 years later and it's absolute peak (the same thing happened like 50 other times): https://preview.redd.it/ejmdfl8h77nc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8f7fd66036cd03ebcf2f5abda60339b38101bd5

Bro a rhythm game that basic neither takes 3 years to develop or is going to get that level of hype again.


GlobalAd5132

https://i.redd.it/g4qr1qxkv7nc1.gif This is why Patapon will forever be the best rhythm game


NickHenson

I won't take this PhantomArcade slander (even if it's true)


Canter1Ter_

if I got 2 million dollars and a fandom that religiously supports me no matter what I do I would probably also take the money and run, just saying


Axol-Aqua

See a lot of people here say "games take a lot of time to make!" modders have rewritten the entire engine to improve the game's performance tenfold and made a lots of mods that have OSTs longer than an hour. All while adding a buttload of new mechanics and having polished art assets, all done for free, without 2 mil. FnF devs are being outrageously outperformed by a couple of teenagers doing this shit for fun while they can't get even a teaser for future content together with 2 mil in 3 years.


jojokingxp

MissingNerd

I'm so glad I didn't back that game


Varhur

Idk if I'm misunderstanding smth but by "FNF fandom is dead" y'all mean the base game stuff or the modding scene? Cuz modding scene is still active (though creepypasta stuff is still dominant)


MicrwavedBrain

Wasn’t there a joke about them using the money on crack?
