[QUOTE=Wazbat;45788788]I get annoyed when people ignore the phone guy, then spend 5 minutes complaining about the fact they don't know what to do[/QUOTE] tbh people aren't used to listening to what they assume is backstory or ambiance for instructions. Especially when the first call is so long. [editline]Edited: [/editline] They usually pick up on the phone calls' importance after the first night though.

I think the sequel would be better without other people like teenagers/urbexers breaking in. One reason FNAF is so scary is that you're completely alone and there's no one else there, and having other people there would kinda mess it up

Opens up a lot of room for imagination.

I wonder how animatronics kill you...

[QUOTE=Zender Troop;45788991]I wonder how animatronics kill you...[/QUOTE] And thus Mike found out that endoskeletons are like suppositories.

I don't think a group of kids would be the best idea- a lone robber has been discussed before, breaking and entering before realizing he's outmatched, then getting mauled by the animatronics, hearing his terrified screams. Audio only, but it would be a nice random event to distract the bots for a bit.

[QUOTE=Zender Troop;45788991]I wonder how animatronics kill you...[/QUOTE] Salt lick.

Really though, do the animatronics kill you on the spot or drag you to the storage and forcibly stuff you inside a suit, killing you via mutilation and unnatural bending of the body that happens during said forced stuffing?

It's sort of a sarcophagus, made entirely of Iron, but inside are spikes at the back, meant to penetrate into you upon closing of the Maiden's doors, also adorned with sharp spikes. The stuffing is the same except you're being forced into a line zipper in the back, being grounded and shredded against the metal bits inside the suit. Eventually all that is left are the eyes that either popped out and made it up there, or places there to "make sense", along with the teeth. Best case scenario, you're probably dead. Worst case...you're still alive afterwards.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;45789135]I assume they keep you alive until the suit part, considering how the phone guy mentioned about feeling "some discomfort" when being stuffed in.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but he also said 'they don't tell you these things when you sign up,' implying he basically had to improvise and find out the information himself. He probably doesn't know the process, just that they stuff you in and there's little left afterwards.

[QUOTE=Jesus Crits;45787178]I contacted (sent him an ask on tumblr, god knows PMs are too complicated) him and this is what I got back [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19211711/modlz.JPG[/IMG][/QUOTE] Who's making these models anyway?

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;45781531]So I found a theory that the [sp]Phone Guy is in Golden Freddy, and I thought of a bunch of stuff that supports that idea, that's off about Gold Fred. First off, Gold Freddy doesn't have any eyes. The suit sits slouched like a dead body in your office. When the player looks at him, strange distorted mumbling plays that, looking at the files, begins playing parts of the night 5 phone call. Assuming Mike did look for Phone Guy as asked, he wouldn't have found him if he was inside the Golden Freddy suit, because it isn't backstage because something about it is severely fucked up. So here's what I think happened: Phone Guy is badass. He survived at least an entire week and most of another, with no warnings, no recordings, no advice or anything. Most people can't even make it to day three. (Come to think of it, how would he know how long people last?) You can't go more than a week, as on night 7 you are fired for some contrived reasons. Perhaps, I think, because if the bait survives that long without being killed or replaced things start to get a lot worse. This means to knowledge he is the only person who survived more than a week and kept going. How do you think the robots are going to feel about that, this person who knows all their tricks and moves and has them handily beaten and is about to finish his last week, and he can't even buy in to them being alive, lying to himself instead? I think they must hate him, hate him to the fullest extent, and they're not going to let some shithead beat them so handily and waltz off in to the sunrise never to be seen again. Night 4 of his last week, they start pouring it on him. Someone who knows all the rules and is an expert at this like he is doesn't just slip up, no, they're cheating and breaking their own rules because they want him. Someone is pounding on the door, presumably Foxy, but then Freddy's twinkling starts playing. To my knowledge, this is impossible. Foxy only shows up on the left door and Freddy MIGHT only show up on the left door. In either case, Freddy's twinkling doesn't play unless the power has gone out as far as I am aware, in which case the doors cannot possibly be closed, and yet there's banging, so they must be. So, considering the animatrons aren't behaving like they're supposed to, I assume one of two things: they intentionally broke the rules and cheated to catch him, and they did something to him that caused him to become the golden freddy we know and fear. Either that, or Golden Freddy himself made an appearance as he is the only one who can appear in the office with both doors closed like I believe they are in the recording. Since he would have no known rules, he would be free to play the jingle without question. Perhaps instead of stuffing him in to a normal suit like all the others, he attempted to...consume Phone Guy himself, which lead to something fucked up happening. Before Phone Guy dies, he states that he's going to try to hold on, that it might not be so bad and that he's always wondered what's in those empty heads. To me, maybe he's still holding on, on some kind of impulse even though whatever fate has happened to him is fucked up in to an unexplainable realm of surreality. He acts antagonistic perhaps because he and the animatron are fused in some kind of fucked up manner and split their actions. Phone Guy causes them to wander around the restaurant, never being seen but leaving messages like changing the signs (assuming the regular animatrons are the ghost kids who believe you're the man at fault, they wouldn't put up signs explaining what happened, or they would read them and understand, Phone Guy is the only one capable of understanding Freddy Fazbear's Pizza's history), changing the pirates cove sign to IT'S ME, warning you when he's coming, he's trying to get your attention desperately. The flashes of him accompanied by IT'S ME in your office are him trying to desperately tell you that he's inside the suit, that he's still alive. He calls on the sixth night out of because he can't help but do what he used to, but the fucked up message he sends, even if it could be understood, sounds like the words of an insane person who now has some sort of overlying love for what is happening from the melding. Your death at the hands of Golden Freddy is the animatron's doing, but in a significantly more fucked up way because things have gone wrong in their mind. If that is Phone Guy, it makes his insistence that he's going to try to hold on until someone checks, and that maybe it won't be so bad a lot more disturbing. He's holding on, but nobody is ever going to check, and it's far worse than anyone could ever imagine.[/sp][/QUOTE] To be honest, when I first played, I got attached to Phone Guy pretty quick. So reading this made me question: Is that why, when he attacks, he waits a few seconds before killing you? This sounded better in my head.

So I did a remake of one of the "My Fun Day!" drawings in the security office: [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89871796/my_fun_day.png[/IMG] Do this kids know how soulless and creepy they draw their pizza buddies as?

So, my dad LOVES this game it turns out. Not that he's played it, he doesn't even like playing video games, but because he loves scaring the shit out of me. I played the demo, got through 2 nights, he enjoyed watching me suffer. And now he keeps insisting I buy the game and go all the way through, even offering to buy it for me as a gift. Goddamnit dad.

Progress is slow because I haven't been working on it consistently. I just want to get the endoskeleton done so I can put the suits on top. It's just very hard to work with very little reference and no profile shots. [IMG]http://puu.sh/b6zCA/fbbdb917ab.jpg[/IMG]

I wonder if there are going to be more content updates for this game, or is the developer just going to move right on to the sequel?

I just had a shower thought, anyone ever saw Freeman's mind? Its a youtube playthrough of half life, where someone pretends to be the thoughts of Gordon Freeman the main character. I like to think 5N@F would be perfect for that type of thing I also recomend watching at least the first 7 episodes, pure gold and reasonably short too!

Who the hell puts a limit on power? Why do the [I]doors[/I] need power? Has Black Mesa really gotten that bankrupt? I don't know if I'm even cleared for this are-WHA! Okay there bunny buddy, you need to CALM DOWN, and GET BACK TO YOUR SEAT." ...I would pay Ross to do that kind of LP with this game.

Infact, I would PAY to see Darksydephil play this game.

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;45789526]I wonder if there are going to be more content updates for this game, or is the developer just going to move right on to the sequel?[/QUOTE] There doesn't really need to be anything else for Freddy's, unless he wants to do secret/ARG stuff. The base game is solid and set, really.

They probably just draw the mascots like that since it's basically what they look like in reality, and they don't know why anyone would consider the machines creepy. Kids can be surprisingly irrational about what is and isn't scary to them, to the point of fearing things which very obviously don't exist/hurt humans, but being totally okay with freaky, lurching animatronics. Naturally, some kids would notice the creepiness of Freddy and co. and be rightfully-spooked, but most would probably be oblivious and/or distracted by endless shitty pizza.
