[QUOTE=kobun37;46421990]Interesting interview with Scott on the Clickteam Fusion site. He talks about the development process, his experience, profitability and of course the sequel.

The person interviewing said "such short time". 1 year and a few months is not short.

[QUOTE=Potaji;46422162]He must mean this year. The person interviewing said "such short time". 1 year and a few months is not short.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I figured. I was just being facetious. I've always more or less expected Q1 2015. On another note, it's interesting he said Android was the least profitable platform. That might be because the market is divided between the Play Store and Amazon app store, though. AFAIK, the Play Store is the only distributor that gives any kind of public sales estimates. Right now FNAF is in the 100,000-500,000 downloads bracket. The standard arrangement is Google takes a 30% commission. So he's grossing at least $200,000 from the Play Store alone. Not a bad return on investment, especially for a one-man team.

You know, I'm planning on buying FN@F2 just to give my support to Scott, but I have no intentions of actually playing it. Oh, I'll try, but I'm sure the moment I see the start screen I'm going to nope the fuck out of there. A ten dollar 'donation' for all the amusement I've had from all the videos, fan work, and whatever else is fine in my book.

Finally made it to the forth night. This game is going to be the death of me, I'm always so paranoid about that fox guy..

Earlier today I got the urge to look up old footage of Chuck E. Cheese and see if the robots were really as freaky-looking as I remembered as a kid in the early 80s. Our CEC closed in the mid-80s and I haven't been to one since, so the version I remember is the half-body animatronics mounted on a balcony above the dining room. For those of you born later, back then Chuck was a wiseguy with a Jersey accent and kind of a douche. The whole place was lit just enough so you didn't bump into things and had a huge arcade (which was the main reason I liked going.) Supposedly the only operational set of this version is in the hands of a private collector. [video=youtube;NaOGWTnvIMA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaOGWTnvIMA[/video] [video=youtube;6OXKY3VBD4M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OXKY3VBD4M[/video] I think Freddy and friends are closer in design to the next Chuck E. Cheese version rather than the earlier Showbiz figures, but I never saw these in person. Enjoy what the daytime show at Freddy's might look like. [video=youtube;5_jDaoAicKE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_jDaoAicKE[/video]

I think I can speak for everyone when I say this, but that Chucky is way better than the one I had growing up in the 90s. So they even knew they're animatronics? Neat.

Yeah, they did occasionally make references to being robots. I think the guy that owns the Pizza Time figures is the same one who has the full Rock-a-fire set too, but for the half-body animatronics you really need the raised balcony, backdrop and huge dark room for the figures and lighting effects to look their best. Back in the early 80s it was impressive as hell. There were waving flags on the walls, strobe lighting and the constant cacophony just outside. Children laughing and screaming, video and pinball games blasting and people playing ticket games. It was like being at a rave for kids. Sure to get any kid bouncing off the walls in no time. Probably why parents regarded going as such torture. LOL Anyway, here's a slightly later version of the half-figure show with Helen Henny. [video=youtube;WcSHExDSFT8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcSHExDSFT8[/video]

So which video and what part of the video is where they reference they are animatronics.

The middle video, Chucky asks someone to turn Jasper off by flipping his switch.

[QUOTE=Xanre;46432535]I remember always feeling bad for them because nobody was ever sitting around the stage and when they were, kids were climbing on them and messing them up and shit[/QUOTE] tbh I always thought they were pretty lame, I just wanted to spend my mom's money at the arcade.

[QUOTE=Xanre;46432535]I remember always feeling bad for them because nobody was ever sitting around the stage and when they were, kids were climbing on them and messing them up and shit[/QUOTE] Kinda makes you wonder if kids do the same during the day at Freddy's. No wonder the animatronics would want to murder someone. LOL At the Chuck E. Cheese I went to growing up, it was pretty well taken care of. I don't ever remember it being messy or the animatronics being broken. I never saw anyone up on stage messing with the them either, but mine had the lip on the balcony up a good 8 feet or so off the ground because there was a maze kids could run through under the stage. It was lit by strobe lights and there were round cutouts that made the walls look like Swiss cheese from the outside.

I hate how Chuck E. Cheese now uses a shitty 3D mascot instead of an animatronic one. Sure, the animatronic might be horrifying but at least it had more personality.

Kinda feel sorry for the kids who weren't able to visit these places during their heyday in the golden age of arcades. It was like going to mini-fucking Disneyland, even if there were robots in the next room who might eat your face in your dreams the next night. There's a CEC a few blocks from where I live now, but I'm sure it's not even remotely the same considering how dead the arcade scene has been for the past 15-20 years. On a side note, there's a 9 part series of videos on YouTube of the people getting the animatronics in video 2 repaired, rewired, cleaned and set up. Creepy stares and endoskeletal horror abounds so I'll just leave the first part as a link. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvr2nyrVIEs"]Are you ready?[/URL] From reading the comments on various videos, apparently CEC corporate is/was super, super anal about restaurant owners destroying the animatronics and costumes when they closed or updated. The Showbiz characters were actually owned by another guy and leased by the restaurant so when the merged company decided to convert the Showbiz restaurants to Chuck E. Cheese they didn't give a fuck what happened to the robots. So the Showbiz bots are relatively easy for collectors to get while finding Chuck and company is like winning the lottery. Took the guy years and years and probably gobs of money to get this all together.
