Five Nights at Freddies 4 has been released, ALREADY. What the hell.

[Egan_BW]

They are simple games to make, and very popular.

[Gunner-Chan]

And to think.

He'd of been making a weird shitty game intended for kids if it wasn't for Jim sterling finding his 3d anthropomorphic beavers horrifying

[Neonivek]

You know... there is just something just so wrong about breasts that grow when someone breathes.

but I have to hand it to them... it is incredibly distracting >_< so I can't say their advertisements are ignorable.

What? How? Are they like part bird? Extra lung cavities?

No, no. It's that thing where, when people breath, they only inflate part of their lungs or whatever, so their chest expands. The way that's apparently healthier is to breath fully from the diaphragm, which will make your stomach expand instead. Or something.

It is something that either bad art does (they don't know how to reasonably animate a person breathing and thus they make the chest grow, and thus the boobs grow)

Or it is also done with sexual art, especially for online advertisements.

from what i've seen, they're actually really weird and complicated in terms of development

BUT

i think he's got the groove down, since every game he's ever made has been done like that

FNAF4 looks fucking incredible for still being made entirely of FMVs

[Fniff]

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with '5 Nights at Freddy's is simple to make'
It may be a simple game, but it isn't that simple to make
On the basis that games are generally not simple to make, speaking from experience
Experience being 'made a few crappy unreleased games'
Besides, the only person with the authority to say that is Scott himself

Oh, I see. That's just fanservice.

Effort invested does not equate to quality of outcome.

While I dislike FNAF, I'd buy that weird beaver game in a heartbeat.

EDIT: Chipps & Sons Lumber Co. is actually free. Huh

[Trapezohedron]

FNAF might not be my mojo, but it's so far quite good.

Knowing a bit of entry-level programming at least will make you feel somewhat impressed with the efforts some people do, so I can't really diss him over a "simple" game.

[Gunner-Chan]

Personally, I'm no like... Fandom sorta person. But I appriciate FNAF for what they do. They're basically low budget cult horror in video game form. Down to the inexplicable sequels.

Agreed, but I'm arguing against the idea that effort wasn't invested to begin with

p. sure "low budget cult horror videogame" is the best quick description you can make for those games

I'd venture that they can't be too hard.

From the looks of it (having never actually played the shit) they don't really innovate much, so things like the art assets and engine can be maybe 80% reused between sequels.

I've never played them either, but the gameplay is rather different from between games (if still playing off the basic idea of 'Animatronics want to murder you, stop them with cameras and doors")
And the art assets change quite significantly between each game (The animatronics themselves change a lot, the location shifts, the fourth one is even set in a completely alien location), there probably is some reusing but it wouldn't be close to anything like 80%
Unless you count palette swapping, but I doubt that's the case

[Putnam]

that's not even the basic idea, cameras are the only thing that that's consistent and 4 doesn't even have those
