Pizzeria Simulator Update
But maybe I should have been more direct from the beginning about this. This wasn't supposed to be a "major release", this is just a game for the community, something lite and without much consequence. I've just really been busy this year and just haven't had much time for game making.
I will probably just release the game today rather than tomorrow, but just accept my apology in advance if this was hyped to be more than it was. This should be viewed as something fun for the community, and just something to pass some time. :)
Thanks guys.
End of November Update!
First of all, I know that I promised movie news soon, but I guess that news will have to wait. It had to do with an exciting cast/crew addition, but things are not quite finalized yet so I'll give that some more time.
In game-related news, I REFUSE to let an entire year go by without a game release, so I'm putting together something fun for all of you for the holidays. I'm not sure if I'll release it on Steam or Gamejolt yet, but I'll let you know. Hopefully it won't take much longer to wrap it up.
That's it for the update! Stay tuned!
EDIT: I'll get the Steam page up within the next few days for the new game, so be watching for it!
An Update on the Project
For the last month or so I’ve been dropping hints about a new game; and it’s true that I’d been working on one (call it FNaF 6 if you’d like.) But after forcing myself to keep working on it day after day, I realized something- I just don’t want to work on this. With each game's release, I think the expectations get higher and higher for the next, and rightfully so. Each game SHOULD be better than the last! But that pressure starts to mount, and I fear that I've been neglecting other things in my life for the sake of trying to keep up with those mounting expectations.
So, after giving this a lot of thought; I’ve decided that I’m going to stop working on it. I’m not going to reveal anything else about what the game was, and I’ve asked other people involved to never divulge anything either. It’s just not going to be talked about.
Does this mean that I’m going to stop working on games altogether? No, that’s not what it means at all. It just means that I want to get back to what made game-making enjoyable in the first place. It also doesn’t mean that I’m abandoning FNaF. In fact, the first game that I'd like to make would be something for you guys. Remember Foxy Fighters from Update 2? I loved working on that game. It was a lot of fun, and it took a lot of the pressure off me knowing that it was just for the fans of the games. That’s the kind of project that I'd like to work on again. Maybe I’ll try my hand at a pizzeria tycoon game, who knows. The point is that it would be something for fun, and something for the fans. :)
There are some big things in the works elsewhere. The movie is in amazing hands with Blumhouse. I’m also still working to get a VR title out at some point (because that would be awesome). And of course I can’t leave everyone hanging with the cliffhanger at the end of the second book. ;) But as far as the games are concerned, I think this is where I step back. I actually have a lot of catching up to do myself when it comes to fan-games. I still need to play FNaC 3, TJOC, Popgoes, ONaF, and some others too. I’m way behind!
I hope you can respect and understand my decision. I want to spend more time with my family, and get back to what made me enjoy making games in the first place.
I’ll give you all more updates as things happen! :) As always, I appreciate your support.

PART 2
OK, as usual, despite my best efforts, things don't get conveyed as clearly as I would like. So let me try to put out a few of the fires.
1) If a game's completion is in question, I would rather just say that it's cancelled, rather than say "I may get back to it at some point.", because the second just puts people on hold indefinitely. If I ever did start work on it again, I'm not sure if I would pick up where I left off, or if I would completely start over.
2) Yes, I need a break.
3) No, it's not a troll. (Would I ever troll you guys?)
4) Yes I want to make something more lighthearted just as a way of relaxing.
5) Yes, it would be free.
6) No, you don't have to play it. ;)
I will return!

Movie News!
I know that I promised some movie news by the end of the month, so here it is. However, keep in mind that there are still some very important discussions in progress, so the amount of information that I can share is extremely limited. In fact, even the information that I can share will have to remain somewhat cryptic.
The reality is that last year the FNaF movie was met with several delays and roadblocks, some involving problems within the movie industry as a whole. As a result, as of right now, the movie is back at square one.
However, depending on your point of view, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's bad because the movie is in its early stages again (so don't expect a trailer anytime soon), but it's good because I want to make sure that the right movie gets made, and things are on track right now for that to happen.
I'm also going to be involved with the movie from day one this time, and that's something extremely important to me. I want this movie to be something that I'm excited for the fanbase to see.
So there you have it. I know that this news might come as a disappointment to some, but there are going to be a lot of great things happening in 2017! :)

I will be closely watching comments and reviews over this next week to address any problems or glitches that people might encounter. I have played through the entire game on my Android phone, including both endings, and several of the custom night challenges on V Hard mode. (but not G. Freddy)
The game has been streamlined significantly to ensure that it runs on most devices, but it still looks great and includes most of the features from the original game!
iOS version will be coming in the next few weeks!
Golden Freddy Update is Live!
Enjoy!
(By the way- Cutscenes are canon.)
Golden Freddy Mode Unlocked!
Full Disclosure: I have personally only beaten this mode on Easy, Normal, and Hard (which was no small task). However, I haven't even made it to 2 am on Very Hard, and only made it past 1 am a couple of times. So with that in mind, don't view it as something that is required to "finish" the game. It's there for people who want to try the impossible and see how long they can last! :)
Enjoy!
Custom Night is Here! (v1.1)
I've tested the game quite a bit, but inevitably things still slip through the cracks sometimes. I'll be actively keeping an eye on things throughout the day and fixing any problems if they arise.
---------- UPDATE ------------
Hey guys, I'm happy to say that the update seems to have been a success in that there were no serious glitches. Everything seems to be working as intended.
I left Golden Freddy Mode locked to give myself time to fix any problems that might have come up today. I will unlock it tomorrow!
