Five Nights At Freddy's

[Lone Star]

I miss the days when we could barely go a week without a new teaser or some news or some shit. Checking the game's site for a new teaser pic was fun as hell.

So what now? Is the franchise just in stasis until the third movie? Are there no other games in the pipeline? Ruin 2? Five Laps at Freddy's? Not even one of those Freddy in Space-style joke games?

Joke or "FNAF" style indie titles are dead unfortunately. It's a saturated market and the illusion of "being the next big mascot horror hit!" isn't motivating people, the money isn't there. Best chance we had for that was the Scott games creator collective thing that died because everyone involved was a huge fag and one particular xister ruined it.

There's a mainline game in the works though. Last I heard about it was almost a year ago. It's being developed by steel wool under the project name Abyss and that's about all I know. I expect an announcement some time this spring.

You can stop reading here, this is just my ¢2. The movies, books and games are all separate pipelines. Scott consults on all 3 but mainly spends his time writing the books, where his time and passion go, and he cranks them out faster than the original FNAF series. The slow down in game development speed is tied to steel wool, and the failure of the creator collective.
