EYES CLOSED

(it's a temporary name) in this house we hate AI and we love William Afton

Do you like FNAF, amateur developers, and "choices matter" games? Then you're in the right place! This blog is all dedicated to a new FNAF fangame, a visual novel set in 1985, during the mysterious disappearance of 5 children. It's up to you to find out what's happening and doing justice! (Or maybe not...)

This might also be a dating sim disguised as a deep metaphor...

With sprites and other art by @felinfool (Feli) and developed by @nobody-is-safe-here (Marcy).

We're uh... Still working on the sounds. Neither of us knows how to write music.

Also we're still deciding on the title 😞 for now we call it "Eyes Closed"

Here we go, With Liz I'm done with the characters the you will know at the start of the game.

I'll take a LITTLE (hopefully if the procrastination demon doesn't get me) pause, to prepare for my next exams and enjoy some time with Marcy. But keep the asks coming, we'll answer them!

He has to be my absolute favorite sprite i made

Another question about the player but I was wondering if we will always start I. The same job position or if you would be able to choose what position you’ll have at the beginning of the game?

Technically you cannot choose, but it doesn't really matter because, unluckily for everyone involved, things aren't going very well at Freddy's and they're facing severe staff shortage so you'll have to already take on a variety of tasks everyday that don't belong to your position anyway (you're supposed to be quite a higher up techncially, but that doesn't matter when facing such a shortage).

There are also a few extra tasks you don't have to necessarily accept (they mostly change daily) and might lead you to find out stuff or change the ending ^^

Here's the first of the poor traumatised kids you can help, or not if you're an horrible human being. Poor Mike he looks just like his father...

This week's character is:

I put a lot of effort in Clara, the first time i made the sprite i used the wrong scale and i had to remake her from scratch. But it was worth it i love her sooo much

I was wondering who the main character was going to be. I saw on the William sprite post that it said co-worker I gust wondered if it would be someone we know in the games or gust a random employee?

Oh I really love this question! The main character's identity is a core theme of our game and it completely depends on YOU and the actions you make in the game!

This game is heavily choice-based and it has a lot of different endings, so every choice you make shapes your own identity.

To be fair, there are some characters you cannot be, of course, because they're already NPCs in the game (for example, Mike, Lizzie, Edwin, etc etc), but that's about it.

The only thing that is "forced" upon you is the fact you start the game as someone close to William and you two have been working together for a decade now, so you're good friends, having said that, things don't have to stay that way, you can absolutely distance yourself from him or get.... even closer....

So yep! Your identity completely depends on how you play the game and the choices you make along the way ^^ it's all up to you! The whole point of the game is choosing who you really want to be!

I'll be honest. I really don't like this guy. BUT we thought it was fair to put something for all the Edwin fans out there. This is for you three specifically.

What type of art style for are you thinking of doing for the game?

Hey, thanks for the question! We've decided to mix a couple things because we thought it would look interesting: the sprites for characters will be in pixel art like the one you've seen for William! For the backgrounds, i already have a list of scenes that need to be drawn, I'll make them in my usual artstyle with my dear textured brush. Unfortunately i don't have good examples to post yet, but I'm planning to make a series of posts with those too as soon as I'm at a decent point! And, in the same style, I'll draw some scenes that are more important to the game, so you'll get to see Will how i usually draw him too.

Really hope you guys like it >w<

Here he is! I want you to meet the first character of this game, the one and only purple guy. I'm planning on posting one or two characters a week so stay tuned!

William was the first sprite I've ever made, like, ever, out of scratch, i know you can tell. I've improved since then but... I'm not gonna redo all his expressions.

Hii so uh first post! I've been struggling with keeping up drawing lately and i thought starting to post on here again might give me the motivation to keep it up, even if it's not always perfect.

So i thought I'd pick up an old drawing i made of this guy here and remake it, what better way to start than my favorite purple guy with a couple of headcanons scattered around

[marcy-and-feli]

Look at him, so joyful and whimsical, i wonder what happens to him after the bite...

Wonder how he looks in pixel art...
