So, summer has come and gone and our favorite fuzzy bear still has yet to show his face, what happened?
To put it simply, production troubles! The most fun reason for a delay. We won't be discussing specifics, but said troubles set us back almost 2 months, so we weren't quite able to make the summer release window. We sincerely apologize for yet another delay.
That being said, we do come with some good news!
One Week at Just Freddy's is ASSET COMPLETE. All in-game animations, models, and textures are complete and implemented. This includes over 150 animations, over 150 props, and over 350 hand drawn textures.
So, if it's asset complete, what's left? There's some small stuff, a few remaining sound effects, some lighting touch-ups, and the big thing, bug testing and bug fixing. The past couple of weeks of production have largely been ironing the game out,. A loop of playing a ton of it, finding bugs, fixing the bugs, and repeating that process until none remain.
Additionally, while the core game is complete and playable from start to finish, there's a few extras that are still being worked on, namely, a couple of cutscenes, the extras content, and the final trailer.
I know that a delay isn't exactly the news anyone hopes for when waiting for a game, so once again we are sorry for making you wait longer. Rather than promising another release window or date, we are going to make sure we can meet it before saying anything. So please bear with us a little longer!
Leading up to release you can expect some gameplay footage being released on our socials, as well as the final trailer for the game.
The summer heat bears down upon us, and as does the release window of One Week at Just Freddy's!
In case you missed it, in April we showed off our gameplay trailer for OWaJF, and with it, the release window of this Summer! Here it is in case you missed it.
We we're extremely excited to show this off, and the response has been fantastic! It marked a huge stepping stone for our project and we can't be happier seeing people getting excited over the game.
The trailer also revealed our amazing voice cast of Cam Da Man and Bizabizow who have been absolute pleasures to work with for this project!
But enough about the old stuff, how's the game looking?
We recently finished off one of the most complex rooms in the game- the Prize Corner. With it's completion we've cleared a huge hurdle in the texturing department, and with the new assortment of props we will be populating other rooms with even more detail!
Hm... Those presents look a bit sinister. Could it be?
The Freddles! Tagging along with Nightmare Freddy these little critters have made their way under your desk, make sure to keep them in check with your trusty flashlight.
So, how's the game's progress?
Animation is progressing very well, we've been making huge progress with some of the most animation intensive and technically challenging of the animatronics in the past couple of the months. We just surpassed 100 total animations for the project, and I'd say we are about 75% of the way there. Luckily, of that remaining 25% are some of the easier animations as we wanted to save them for last.
Texturing, as you've seen, has also been progressing smoothly. There's only really one room with a significant amount of texturing left but luckily the technical aspects of texturing for that room have been largely completed already, so we really are past the biggest challenges in that department.
Gameplay-wise OWaJF is in a fairly good spot, we have a large majority of the code done so the main things being worked on are implementation of animations and bug fixing. The biggest thing left that has a significant amount of work to be done is the audio, which we will be working on more soon.
All that being said, we are still confident in our Summer release, though we don't have a date yet. That will be unveiled in the final trailer for One Week at Just Freddy's, so keep an eye out for that at some point this Summer.
Once again, thank you all for your support for this project, we are very excited to finally get to show off the game in all it's glory.
That's all for now! This will be likely be the final pre-release devlog, though more teasers and videos will be released here and on our socials leading up to the final trailer and eventual release, so keep an eye out.
Happy Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Anniversary! Today we just wanted to give a bite-sized update for all of you.
Progress on One Week at Just Freddy's is continuing steadily! We are finally getting more fully complete rooms implemented into the game, which is extremely exciting. Lighting is being finalized for said rooms as well.
As much as we'd like to show this off, we will be saving it for our next trailer, which is now in the early stages of being created. The trailer will show off the gameplay, some of the animations, and our voice cast! As well as a general release window.
We anticipate March will be a very busy month for our development team outside of OWaJF, so we are aiming to get the trailer out in April. Stay tuned!
One Week at Just Freddy's: December Devlog + Delay
Welcome to our second One Week at Just Freddy’s Devlog! We’ll be going over a few things today, some good, some bad. But regardless we are excited to share more information about OWaJF to you all!
First of all, here's some gameplay footage of the office, including a look at the breakroom. This shows off a large portion of the mechanics in OWaJF that you can use for defense. Including a Freddy Fazbear mask, the break room door, the desk itself, and a flashlight. All mechanics being tied to a different Freddy Fazbear.
This footage also shows off the cameras for the first time! With a proper in-game look at the stage, and some of the animation you’ll expect to see on the cameras.
Now, onto the bad news, despite the amazing progress we’ve made on One Week at Just Freddy’s, we do not think that we are going to be able to complete it in a state we are happy with by the end of 2024.
When we set out for a 2024 release, that was before a lot of unexpected behind the scenes things happened, nothing bad, but things we didn’t account for in planning. So, rather than crunching and forcing out a worse game for you all, we will be delaying the game to a 2025 release. We apologize for the delay, but hope you understand that we are working hard to make this game something we can be proud of.
Now, back to the game itself. Since our last devlog, we revealed and showcased Toy Freddy and Nightmare Freddy! Our lineup now officially consists of Freddy Fazbear, Toy Freddy, Withered Freddy, Phantom Freddy, Nightmare Freddy, and Funtime Freddy. However, we have never given you a proper look at Funtime Freddy- so have a closer look!
(not an in-game screenshot)
You’ve now had a full look at six of the Freddy’s in the location, and we are reaching the end of our list here pretty soon. So we’d like to say there’s a total of NINE Freddy’s you can face off against in One Week at Just Freddy’s. Can you guess the final three? Or even do a little digging for them?
As for things we need to finish, it’s not much different than last time. Animation, texturing, and art are the largest parts of the game left to complete. Progress on all three are in full swing now, but as we said in the August Devlog, it is a slow process.
Additionally, we have cast most of our voice actors for the game! It's been a great process working with them, and from what's been finished we are very happy with the results. We look forward to sharing our cast, and their lines, with you eventually! Before this Devlog ends, We'd like to quickly showcase some of what we’ve been working on individually, with notes from the artists if they wish.
One of our 2D artists, Hal, has continued working on the in-game promotional art, here’s a work in progress of one of them!
Hal: "Been drawing everyone’s favorite bear, Helpy! Honestly, it’s been hard working on this while having work at the same time."
Another of our 2D artists Kadence has been working on arcade machine art! Here’s just one of the arcade machines that has their art on it!
Our final 2D artist, Fio, has been working on a big gameplay element from the beginning of production that has yet to be shown, that being the GUIDEBOOK! Here’s your first look at it! It details behaviors, quirks and an illustration of every Freddy. You unlock new entries as you complete nights, or die trying.
Io, on top of doing a large portion of the coding and bug fixing, has also been composing for OWaJF! Here’s the main title theme for the game!
Nova, one of our coders and 3D artists, has been largely working on the nitty gritty parts of modeling such as UV Unwrapping, as well as working on the final models that need to be implemented. The breakroom is one of many examples of her modeling and UV work!
Nova: "I love Uv Unwrapping :( 👍👍"
Alan, our director, 3D artist, and animator has largely been working on texturing and 3D animation. You can see his texturing throughout the Devlog, but here’s a look at an animation that was actually cut from the game. You can expect (many) animations like this in the final product!
That's all for this Devlog! Thank you all once again for your support and patience. We can’t wait to get this game out to you all.
Welcome to our first Devlog for One Week at Just Freddy’s! One Week at Just Freddy’s was announced over three months ago; how time flies in game development. This project log will primarily be about getting you all up to speed on the game's current state as well as discussing how much more we have to do.
But before that: Here's your first look at an in-game screenshot! This is showcasing, of course, the office. Very Freddy heavy, as you can see. There's even more to the office space than what's shown here, but that will have to wait for another time.
Earlier this month we also revealed Phantom Freddy as an addition to our roster! It seems that its not just the physical past of Freddy in this place.
But now, onto the nitty gritty of development. What state is the game in? Whats been done, and whats there left to do?
So, good news: One Week at Just Freddy’s is almost completely beatable from start to finish. The gameplay is nearly complete. There are still some small things to be polished up and implemented, but as a whole, the game is technically playable. However, this does NOT mean that the game is near completion. The game is currently in a stage of production where a majority of the assets or animations are placeholders or aren’t finished. (See below what most rooms currently look like.)
So, the biggest thing left is largely the art portion, which as you'd imagine, is extremely time-consuming. We are a small team, so it may take a while. But we are still pretty confident in a 2024 release, so we ask you to just be patient.
OWaJF went into full production all the way back in January, and the reason we waited five months to announce the game is that we wanted to make sure we could do it. Rest assured, the likelihood of canceling this project is extremely low. We have made it this far, after all.
To end this, we at null input would like to extend a thank you for everyone's support. The traction the reveal trailer got was staggering, and the number of followers and comments on the Game Jolt page has been wonderful to see. So, thank you for your excitement and interest in the game; we look forward to showing it all off. We’ll continue to post teasers and more snippets of information in the upcoming months, but please be patient!
Happy 10th anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's! Have your first full look at Withered Freddy, AND your first look at Phantom Freddy in One Week at Just Freddy's!
