I like to think that in like 70 years this arcade cabinet will end up at some thrift shop, and someone will buy it but not be able to find record of its creation, and kickstart their very own real life creepy pasta.
I mean if the internet doesn't change that much to how it is today, which is saying a lot now that I think about it, they could probably find out the origins the game is based around.
the fact you knew NOTHING about coding and game developing going into this project , and finished 2 years later with a masterpiece (: we’re proud of you andie!!
As someone who has done game coding (using unity) and has a parent whose career is coding this video made me emotional. I never realized how much you can truly connect with people through the shared experience of coding being the worst (but also great).
I really want to get into making games in the future, it seems like fun. The most common experiences of coding I’ve heard of is finding some janky code which shouldn’t work that you don’t remember writing and being too afraid to touch for fear of it breaking or the code randomly fixing itself.
As a game developer, I suggest you take breaks whenever you get unmotivated. I personally create a “save file” writing all my current ideas and even making some concept art so I don’t forget what I’m doing when I return, then I work on different projects or play games similar to mine to get inspiration and motivation.
Fun Fact: Back in FNAF 1, Scott wasn't sure if 4/20 mode was even possible and so he was surprised that someone managed to beat it to where he updated the game to give a third star. Shows that even though it may seem impossible, anything is possible. All of this just to say take everything I say with a grain of salt
Who else thinks that having an actual FNAF arcade game could possibly be the craziest thing to ever happen for the community. Not only do we get to experience what a FNAF arcade game would be like, but also how we can finally experience those 8-bit mini game cutscenes that showed us about the lore in the original games to actually now playing them like on an actual arcade machine like if it really is from Freddy’s.
2 years to create a game, a game cabinet, custom art, all by yourself (mainly) is incredible Also your brother is so rad and I appreciate him helping you

I missed you! Normally, I'd never think a project would be worth a 2 year absence, but this is TOTALLY worth it! One of the best FNAF projects I've ever seen. Congratulations!
Ahem you mean the best fnaf project in the world 🎉 😂 right. Also glad to see you back we all mist you and of you see this comment can you put this !!!!!! At the end of you title for your next video ❤
Ngl, I feel like a dumb dumb rn. I saw this video only recently pop up, and yet despite me being very fascinated by arcade games and watching others make games, I somehow didn’t want to watch. I thought it was just going to be another YTuber who was putting something out there that wasn’t worth my time. Boy was I wrong. This whole video reminded me of why I love watching people make games, learning about old things that I never got to experience, and just watching something big go through so much passion and process. It got me excited to try and make my own little game in the future when I have everything figured out, plus have the tools I necessarily need. This was really fun to watch, and you are SUCH a champ pushing through and getting it done. This was a really big inspiration, and I’m glad you’re proud of it in the end.
I have to give mad respect to @Andiematronic for putting two years of unedited videos of the process in to one hour for one video and make a completely new video game out of scratch. That show how much love she puts into this channel, I just have to give my respect to this one.
Just having someone show the process of an ACTUAL ARCADE FANGAME is amazing, i can see just how much swear, tears and blood people can put into projects thrybare trully passionate about!
I don’t think people realize how much time it takes to make a game, and the dedication you need to continue updating and improving the game. The amount of work she just did is impossible to almost all game devs. The dedication and skill on how this game was made is just unbelievable. Great work and happy to subscribe to a dedicated channel who puts their effort into making great content.
This surely made me realize just TRUELY how hard and long it is. I knew it was long, but 2 years to make an arcade game? The code, sprites, animation, and music? Sheesh
As someone who actively works with coders and is a very new coder myself, this is so so impressive and I am so so proud of you!! Look how far you got! Every coder no matter how long they have been coding faces the same problems you faced, and you got past them amazingly!! I’m losing my crap over the artwork and design, it’s beautiful! Everything about it is top tier and amazing!
hi Andie!! i have been a fan of you since i was 8 and i am now 12! you are such a inspiration to me and i love all of your work!. When i used to do art i would give up after trying and trying again and it would not work. Now because of you my mindset has changed! whenever i do art now and i feel like giving up i think "what would Andie do?" and i keep trying until i'm successful. seeing this video that u did 10 months ago inspires me so much!! i'm currently making a project!. a FNaF room the size of a room from a dollhouse but with a stage and custom made FNaF action figures inside. i am determined into making it work and i will not give up. i spend up to a hour a day working on it and the rest either watching your channel or anime. you have had a huge impact on my life and i am so thankfull for you. you have changed me as a person and my emotions! once agein i love all of your work and i hope you keep it up. This video had proven to me that when you work hard it is always worth it in the end. Love ya Andie one of your biggest supporters - Lolamarie
Not only did she make the game fnaf themed, she even made the actual development of it like Security breach! Getting more ambitious and more delayed but better as time went on! Respect
I have never seen this channel, but by the first 5 minutes of this video I had already subscribed. The fact that you took 2 years to make a entire game, and seeing a whole new perspective on how your fangame’s scope got bigger and bigger, the burden of burnout and self doubt, and how you started from knowing basically nothing about game development to developing a giant indie game by yourself (with help on music, learning game development, and your brother help you assemble the arcade cabinet) and seeing this giant perfectionist struggle to create a game wrapped up in a 1 hour video is insane. 16 gold stars out of 5!
The amount of blood, sweat and tears put into this project is horrifyingly admirable. I don’t know if I should give you a trophy for the effort you’ve demonstrated, or crawl into a ravine and cry. Well done!
I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos for 6 years!! I was leaving Primary School and now I’m in Uni! Thank you for pushing through this, I forgot how much I loved your videos!
This is one of the best games I’ve seen in a long time. It didn’t start out as a cash grab or something to grab onto a recent trend for views it was started for fun, and went through with that idea until the end. I’m sure that 90% of the viewers on this channel felt absolute joy upon the release of this video because they got to see what had happened over the course of the two years of silence. Although a lot of people worried - including myself - this seems like an incredibly satisfying payoff. Bravo.
*This was an amazing endeavor of yours, and I speak for everyone when I say that we are all both grateful for your marvelous creation, and amazed that you were able to make this with no prior knowledge of the process of creating a game! I don’t think I would be able to pull that off, since I don’t have the knowledge to create a game, or create an arcade cabinet by myself. We ate all impressed by your final product, and we value your existence! :)*
Hey Andie, I know you will probably never see this comment, but as a Game Development student in college, I'd like to thank you for this project! Brings some understanding into what we do and it's a very cool concept, having your own game on an arcade cabinet! Welcome back tho, I missed your content
I envy andiematrics ability to jump into projects without prior experience with confidence and actually be able to complete it with stunning results. I know this might sound like a back handed compliment but I promise it isn't, it is actually super cool to me.
I'm not a game developer by any means. I'm an artist and a fanfiction writer. Currently, I'm working on a rather... Big fanfiction, featuring Danganronpa (pretty much a fan-game, but in a form of a fic with pictures). And I keep losing motivation for it. But every time I watch this video, I just get a motivation punch. Cause "Hey, look, people finish projects ten times more complex than yours in solo, it means that you can do that too!". The game itself looks insanely polished. People working on pure enthusiasm make games with soul in them, as they want their games to be the best for them in the first place. And this will to make it good creates literal masterpieces. Yes, maybe not without problems. But they're not soulless. Indie developers working for themselves (without a will to make a quick cashgrab) make the games they would want to play, and such games are played with much more pleasure (doesn't mean there won't be rage quits though-). I like the pixel art of the game, it's just so... So damn detailed. The shadows, the highlights, the way the sprites are drawn and placed, tha atmosphere they create is just perfect, in my opinion. Kinda drawing for fanfiction at the moment, while the vid is playing at the background. Thank you for motivation, Andy. Thank you very much :3
As a big fan of Faith, the animation is absolutely beautiful and this might become one of my favorite FNAF fan games just due to the Jumpscares and the style alone
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a RUclipsr that puts as much effort into their videos as Andiematronic does, it’s honestly inspiring. How many people can stay dedicated to something for 2 years?
i cannot believe it took seven months for me to finally be recommended this video!! it must have come with my uptick in fnaf interest thanks to the new game - what amazing work you did! this was a beast of a project. i'm so excited to try this game out, and i am genuinely blown away by how much work and dedication you poured into it!!
Can we just appreciate how much time, effort, and money they put into this? They didn’t even get a sponsorship to help them pay for this and spent a lot of energy on this. I’m so proud that you were able to finish. I hope your happy with the results. Keep up the good work!
Just wow. This has to be one of the best fan projects I've ever seen. Your dedication to your craft is, and has always been utterly insane. I truly hope you're doing well, Andie. Welcome back.
As someone who wants to be a game developer, seeing this was really eye-opening. It was interesting to see how the software really works and just how much you can get done in a certain length of the time, taking into consideration all the hard work and effort it takes. I also love how you were brave enough to show the real mental strain it has on you, even though you could’ve easily left all of that out. Considering this was the first game Andie *ever* made, this is incredible!!
It’s so cool you’re back! I used to watch your content when I was younger. I’m so glad that in the time we spent apart we both made our own game! I wish you luck on your future projects.
This is absolutely crazy. Usually when a channel comes back they make another video of their usual content, but Andie made a whole arcade game 💀 I’m so happy your back lmao
The core gameplay loop of this game is so refreshing compared to literally over half of the other fnaf fan games, this is an amazing achievement to be sure, be proud!
This is actually so cool! This has got to be the best fnaf fan game with the classic 8-bit and all the range of characters, endings and every detail is amazing and I can’t explain how good this game is
I really admire how you put passion into everything you do. I too have the desire to jump into things that are highly challenging. That includes programming! But I simply don't have the stamina to carry me through to actually finishing basically anything. Maybe someday, but the main difference for me is I don't have a youtube audience to share my finished products with. I imagine that is highly motivating. I think it's awesome that you kept on going even though the work was hard and never ending. Congratulations!
I know you probably won’t ever see this, but watching this video that may seem to paint indipendent game development in an extremely critical light completely reinvigorated my passion for it and actually got me working again because I realized that all it was was just a slow process of chipping away at it until you feel satisfied and that helped me move forward instead of procrastinating, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Congratulations! You’re a game developer now. I’m going on year three of my own project (with RPG Maker no less) and I completely understand the burnout and admire the way you kept going.
I feel like somehow there's something somewhat wholesome about spending so much time on a game that only a handful of people are ever going to have the full experience of playing the intended way, on an arcade machine.
This is my 3rd time watching this video since release, i remember every like 2 months i would check your channel to see if you had a video ( I didnt have a youtube account so i couldnt subscribe) and then when I saw the video I remember being so happy. Its been 2 years but the wait was definetly worth it, an hour long video AND a game!! Thank you so much
Holy crap Andie! The amount of time and effort you put into this project is astounding. I never knew how hard it was to create a video game from scratch, let alone with 8 separate endings and on top of all that, transferring it to home made arcade machine. We appreciate you, all your work and dedication to the community plus your channel, Truly the queen of fnaf. ❤
@@LeadLicker yes! Go for it! I've recently been looking into doing some gamedev myself, so I feel the same kinda way. It might take a while but you can do it!!
@@LeadLicker Just don't do the metroidvania without any form of preparation. Do smaller stuff before, and then jump into it, or else you will be hating the process.
Hello! Stumbled across this wonderful video via recommendations and, my God, I never expected it to be such a ride! I'm not exactly sure what to say in this comment since I barely type them in general, but I just wanna say that this INSPIRED me. Making a game or any type of activity that involves art is unbelievably hard. Which some people tend to forget, even if they're the ones making it. I myself am an artist who has lots of passion for their craft, but is often a bit harsh on myself. That's why seeing this video not only made my jaw drop from how dedicated you are to your projects and your audience, but also reminded me that any kinds of challenges indeed makes us become a better version of ourselves, and that all the hardwork that comes with it pays off. Thank you Andie and everyone involved for such a marvelous video and a wonderful game. I'm going to check it out the moment I'll post this comment!
Wow... never thought THIS would be the project! This is incredible, Andie. I'm so glad that you are going back to uploading again. You got me into the FNAF community.
Idk how I missed this video a year ago but I was watching it today and honestly watching a video of you struggling to get a major project done while I work on a major project was super motivating! I was able to get motivation to work on it while watching
When you stopped uploading i thought you had lost your passion for five nights of freddys but i am glad that after all this time you are still here to share this beautiful mess of a franchise with us. It is so good to have you with us once more. Your video inspired me to finally commit to a project i've had in mind for years. Thank you
This is absolutely amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩 The cabinet came you looking so epic! The game looks like a blast, I love your style of pixel art!! I'm downloading it right now!
Nice to hear from the FNAF queen again. Also a round of applause for making a game all on your own, that kind of thing takes a lot of patience and determination.
Might be the craziest FNAF fan creation I've seen ever! So much love and care was put into it, I can't wait to give this game a try in my free time! Also I'm so happy you are back to uploading content, your presence in the community was sorely missed!
I spent a whole semester in a coding class and the best thing I made was one of those maze games that jump scare you when you get to the end/seizure simulator, so this is incredibly impressive to me.
i have no words. this is such a love letter to the franchise and a display of talent and dedication. ive never been more fascinated and inspired in my life. holy moly oh my god.
Andy you are truly a blessing in this FNaF community and as person in general. You do so much for us and ask for nothing in return. So thankful to have you in this community.. also you blew my mind with this project truly commendable!
im not just inspired to kick myself into the game dev road, im IMPRESSED, the art level has really helped and the overall mechanism of planning out is really precise, im striving to see myself like this one day
I love how this wasn’t just a video about the process of making the game. You also gave little stories about your life and what you’ve been doing. This feels like a much more personal video. It was great. You didn’t just list bullet points about the process. It was a very entertaining video, the artwork is incredible. Also the insight on designing a game was fun to hear. Great video and great return.
Heh, just like a sister to make the brother do all the hard work and then take the fun job of making the game. Grannies aren't the only ones who knit and you should give it a try, because it's very relaxing and can be set aside at a moment's notice and picked back up again when you have a few minutes or even done absentmindedly while watching TV. Also, you may feel like you don't want to make another game now, but do something simpler and a lot of times and eventually you'll gain enough experience to be fast at it as well as enjoy the process more. Although, it really would help if you fully learned how to program too.
Watching this makes it feel kinda like a less depressing, FNAF-flavored version of Bo Burnhams Inside (in a very, very good way). Its genuinely incredible just how much effort you put into these projects, and however long it takes, I'm ready for whatever you make next, whenever it happens ❤
"I finally fixed my last glitch!" *laughs in game dev* oh sweetie. Seriously though this was an amazing, monumental task you took on and I am SO impressed. The rotoscoped animations are STUNNING, your spritework improved tenfold over the project, even seeing all the art as it went on was amazing. Im so so proud of you! I hope your game makes many people happy, and you should submit your arcade cabinet to local arcades! Ive seen whole bars dedicated to indie, artist made arcade games and I'm sure yours would do super well. Also its wild to watchyour hair grow during this video. Really shows the progression of time!

I’m sure that 90% of the viewers on this channel felt absolute joy upon the release of this video because they got to see what had happened over the course of the two years of silence. Although a lot of people worried - including myself - this seems like an incredibly satisfying payoff. Bravo.
Many fan games have been made over the years of fnaf, but I'm sure Scott will be looking at this game and thinking, "Holy crap this is so cool!"
probably XD it's a actual arcade cabinet.
for sure he would! imagine if he reaponds to this video someday!!
👀 best possible way to come out of hiatus!! super excited to try the game out!
Wow one like
here before it explodes in popularity
*This was an amazing endeavor of yours, and I speak for everyone when I say that we are all both grateful for your marvelous creation, and amazed that you were able to make this with no prior knowledge of the process of creating a game! I don’t think I would be able to pull that off, since I don’t have the knowledge to create a game, or create an arcade cabinet by myself. We ate all impressed by your final product, and we value your existence! :)*
Did you bold your text to stand out?
Hey Andie, I know you will probably never see this comment, but as a Game Development student in college, I'd like to thank you for this project! Brings some understanding into what we do and it's a very cool concept, having your own game on an arcade cabinet!
Welcome back tho, I missed your content
I wonder if you knew this comment got this much attention.
You know, if someone made a potential FNAF World 2, I feel like that would make a suitable arcade game.
Well, there's an arcade game based on Dungeons and Dragons, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility!
This deserves some spot in the Fanverse just from how insane the development process was for this
Imagine: official arcade cabinets
this is Awesome Andie! keep on making cosplay, reviews, and hilarious content hope to see more!
Honestly though this is probably the most impressive fnaf project ever made
No. Just no.
@@lazyatbeinglazy13yes. Just yes
Ahem FNAF help wanted?
@@C2_boi Ahem it sucked!
@@C2_boi ahem that was made by multiple, very experienced people.
this was made by two people with barley any experience
I envy andiematrics ability to jump into projects without prior experience with confidence and actually be able to complete it with stunning results. I know this might sound like a back handed compliment but I promise it isn't, it is actually super cool to me.
Can we all agree that Andie is the queen of fnaf games? She went so above and beyond
Yes!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@@TheMarksman949-uh5hy why you screaming

I'm not a game developer by any means. I'm an artist and a fanfiction writer. Currently, I'm working on a rather... Big fanfiction, featuring Danganronpa (pretty much a fan-game, but in a form of a fic with pictures). And I keep losing motivation for it.
But every time I watch this video, I just get a motivation punch. Cause "Hey, look, people finish projects ten times more complex than yours in solo, it means that you can do that too!".
The game itself looks insanely polished. People working on pure enthusiasm make games with soul in them, as they want their games to be the best for them in the first place. And this will to make it good creates literal masterpieces. Yes, maybe not without problems. But they're not soulless. Indie developers working for themselves (without a will to make a quick cashgrab) make the games they would want to play, and such games are played with much more pleasure (doesn't mean there won't be rage quits though-). I like the pixel art of the game, it's just so... So damn detailed. The shadows, the highlights, the way the sprites are drawn and placed, tha atmosphere they create is just perfect, in my opinion.
Kinda drawing for fanfiction at the moment, while the vid is playing at the background. Thank you for motivation, Andy. Thank you very much :3
As a big fan of Faith, the animation is absolutely beautiful and this might become one of my favorite FNAF fan games just due to the Jumpscares and the style alone
U talking bout faith the unholy trinity?
@@JOAO8BIT yes
Honestly when Andie dissapears for a year or more it just means she's cooking up a killer video
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a RUclipsr that puts as much effort into their videos as Andiematronic does, it’s honestly inspiring. How many people can stay dedicated to something for 2 years?

i cannot believe it took seven months for me to finally be recommended this video!! it must have come with my uptick in fnaf interest thanks to the new game - what amazing work you did! this was a beast of a project. i'm so excited to try this game out, and i am genuinely blown away by how much work and dedication you poured into it!!
Can we just appreciate how much time, effort, and money they put into this? They didn’t even get a sponsorship to help them pay for this and spent a lot of energy on this. I’m so proud that you were able to finish. I hope your happy with the results. Keep up the good work!
😮
Just wow. This has to be one of the best fan projects I've ever seen. Your dedication to your craft is, and has always been utterly insane. I truly hope you're doing well, Andie. Welcome back.
She should pitch this to Scott himself because it is so epic
As someone who wants to be a game developer, seeing this was really eye-opening. It was interesting to see how the software really works and just how much you can get done in a certain length of the time, taking into consideration all the hard work and effort it takes. I also love how you were brave enough to show the real mental strain it has on you, even though you could’ve easily left all of that out. Considering this was the first game Andie *ever* made, this is incredible!!
Wow this comment is so good I have nothing to say about it
another game dev here! Let's discuss!
@@skitelbot Haha! Thanks
It’s so cool you’re back! I used to watch your content when I was younger. I’m so glad that in the time we spent apart we both made our own game! I wish you luck on your future projects.
This is absolutely crazy. Usually when a channel comes back they make another video of their usual content, but Andie made a whole arcade game 💀 I’m so happy your back lmao
I really thought she died😅
@@Bulgaria_nationalist dumb
@MonkeyBearz i thought she was dead or she quited RUclips
I can see Scott being proud of this journey you've made for yourself to overcome. You deserve all the love and support from everyone :)
The core gameplay loop of this game is so refreshing compared to literally over half of the other fnaf fan games, this is an amazing achievement to be sure, be proud!
Duuude what a rollercoaster!! This has been such a fun watch and so inspiring!!
You know its been a long time when she's re-explaining the channel purpose.
Lol 💀
This is probably the coolest fnaf fan project I’ve ever seen. You should be super proud of this accomplishment!
Lets all just appreciate how dedicated Andie is.

This is actually so cool! This has got to be the best fnaf fan game with the classic 8-bit and all the range of characters, endings and every detail is amazing and I can’t explain how good this game is
I agree
This video made me realize how much of a die-hard fan I am for this channel. Please never get into controversy. I could not handle it.

This was definitely worth the 2 year wait. What an amazing project!

I really admire how you put passion into everything you do. I too have the desire to jump into things that are highly challenging. That includes programming! But I simply don't have the stamina to carry me through to actually finishing basically anything. Maybe someday, but the main difference for me is I don't have a youtube audience to share my finished products with. I imagine that is highly motivating.
I think it's awesome that you kept on going even though the work was hard and never ending. Congratulations!
I know you probably won’t ever see this, but watching this video that may seem to paint indipendent game development in an extremely critical light completely reinvigorated my passion for it and actually got me working again because I realized that all it was was just a slow process of chipping away at it until you feel satisfied and that helped me move forward instead of procrastinating, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Congratulations! You’re a game developer now. I’m going on year three of my own project (with RPG Maker no less) and I completely understand the burnout and admire the way you kept going.
remember to also take breaks tho dude, long breaks too, a vacation
@@Alexzy39One day I will. Thank you!
I feel like somehow there's something somewhat wholesome about spending so much time on a game that only a handful of people are ever going to have the full experience of playing the intended way, on an arcade machine.

This is my 3rd time watching this video since release, i remember every like 2 months i would check your channel to see if you had a video ( I didnt have a youtube account so i couldnt subscribe) and then when I saw the video I remember being so happy. Its been 2 years but the wait was definetly worth it, an hour long video AND a game!! Thank you so much
Holy crap Andie! The amount of time and effort you put into this project is astounding. I never knew how hard it was to create a video game from scratch, let alone with 8 separate endings and on top of all that, transferring it to home made arcade machine. We appreciate you, all your work and dedication to the community plus your channel, Truly the queen of fnaf. ❤
No replies? ill fix that
Andiematronic: “You wouldn't expect it to be so difficult.”
Every Game Developer Watching: “You have no idea.”
Right?! And when she said she hated math, and then said she decided to code a game, I was like "oh no she doesn't know."
If she can do it... can i really make the Metroid/Dead space inspired Metroidvania i was gonna make with a friend?
@@LeadLicker yes! Go for it! I've recently been looking into doing some gamedev myself, so I feel the same kinda way. It might take a while but you can do it!!
@@sib_here_ thanks, i was kind of on the fence with it, but ive been thinking it over and yeah, i think you convinced me
@@LeadLicker Just don't do the metroidvania without any form of preparation. Do smaller stuff before, and then jump into it, or else you will be hating the process.
You didn't just make a fnaf fan-game, you actually created the first arcade machine based on fnaf (i think). This is insane!
Hello! Stumbled across this wonderful video via recommendations and, my God, I never expected it to be such a ride!
I'm not exactly sure what to say in this comment since I barely type them in general, but I just wanna say that this INSPIRED me. Making a game or any type of activity that involves art is unbelievably hard. Which some people tend to forget, even if they're the ones making it. I myself am an artist who has lots of passion for their craft, but is often a bit harsh on myself. That's why seeing this video not only made my jaw drop from how dedicated you are to your projects and your audience, but also reminded me that any kinds of challenges indeed makes us become a better version of ourselves, and that all the hardwork that comes with it pays off.
Thank you Andie and everyone involved for such a marvelous video and a wonderful game. I'm going to check it out the moment I'll post this comment!
Don't know how this is somehow better than 80% of gamedev content on youtube; good work!
actually delusional
Wow... never thought THIS would be the project! This is incredible, Andie. I'm so glad that you are going back to uploading again. You got me into the FNAF community.
Same, mostly.
Yay

Idk how I missed this video a year ago but I was watching it today and honestly watching a video of you struggling to get a major project done while I work on a major project was super motivating! I was able to get motivation to work on it while watching
Yeah, I feel the same
Yeah I feel the same too
When you stopped uploading i thought you had lost your passion for five nights of freddys but i am glad that after all this time you are still here to share this beautiful mess of a franchise with us. It is so good to have you with us once more. Your video inspired me to finally commit to a project i've had in mind for years. Thank you

This is absolutely amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
The cabinet came you looking so epic!
The game looks like a blast, I love your style of pixel art!! I'm downloading it right now!
Why do I feel like Andie could create a whole FNAF fangame and universe
RIGHT?!?!
same. im jealous bc i doubt my ability but im trying for myself
I also believe it'd be really cool to play/learn about!
And then it would be part of the fazbears multiverse
Because she absolutely could!!!!
Because she did make a full fan game!
As a game dev myself I can say the first game is always the hardest I’m proud of you
Nice to hear from the FNAF queen again. Also a round of applause for making a game all on your own, that kind of thing takes a lot of patience and determination.
“Double dragon is one of the most influential fighting games” YEAH AND THE MOST INFURIATING
Might be the craziest FNAF fan creation I've seen ever! So much love and care was put into it, I can't wait to give this game a try in my free time! Also I'm so happy you are back to uploading content, your presence in the community was sorely missed!
It's such an amazing journey and the fact you made a whole game just to have a FNAF themed arcade is impressive, can't wait to play it myself!
I spent a whole semester in a coding class and the best thing I made was one of those maze games that jump scare you when you get to the end/seizure simulator, so this is incredibly impressive to me.
i love the growth, in the specific form of Andie getting the name of the bevel wrong. to then- after everything, getting the name perfectly
i have no words. this is such a love letter to the franchise and a display of talent and dedication. ive never been more fascinated and inspired in my life. holy moly oh my god.
I second this.
Zim pfp
That’s all you watch animatronic sorry if I messed up on the name I can’t type and I have to use text to speech
Andy you are truly a blessing in this FNaF community and as person in general. You do so much for us and ask for nothing in return. So thankful to have you in this community.. also you blew my mind with this project truly commendable!
After waiting 2 years, I am not disappointed. Just VERY impressed.
im not just inspired to kick myself into the game dev road, im IMPRESSED, the art level has really helped and the overall mechanism of planning out is really precise, im striving to see myself like this one day
I love how this wasn’t just a video about the process of making the game. You also gave little stories about your life and what you’ve been doing. This feels like a much more personal video. It was great. You didn’t just list bullet points about the process. It was a very entertaining video, the artwork is incredible. Also the insight on designing a game was fun to hear.
Great video and great return.
For future reference, you can hook up the buttons on an arcade machine control panel to a keyboard, so you don’t need controller support.
The rotoscoped animations reminiscent of FAITH was the perfect touch on this game! Absolutely fantastic!!
Heh, just like a sister to make the brother do all the hard work and then take the fun job of making the game. Grannies aren't the only ones who knit and you should give it a try, because it's very relaxing and can be set aside at a moment's notice and picked back up again when you have a few minutes or even done absentmindedly while watching TV. Also, you may feel like you don't want to make another game now, but do something simpler and a lot of times and eventually you'll gain enough experience to be fast at it as well as enjoy the process more. Although, it really would help if you fully learned how to program too.
Watching this makes it feel kinda like a less depressing, FNAF-flavored version of Bo Burnhams Inside (in a very, very good way). Its genuinely incredible just how much effort you put into these projects, and however long it takes, I'm ready for whatever you make next, whenever it happens ❤
"I finally fixed my last glitch!" *laughs in game dev* oh sweetie.
Seriously though this was an amazing, monumental task you took on and I am SO impressed. The rotoscoped animations are STUNNING, your spritework improved tenfold over the project, even seeing all the art as it went on was amazing. Im so so proud of you! I hope your game makes many people happy, and you should submit your arcade cabinet to local arcades! Ive seen whole bars dedicated to indie, artist made arcade games and I'm sure yours would do super well.
Also its wild to watchyour hair grow during this video. Really shows the progression of time!
Everytime you come back the more its exciting and unique. I would've never expected a game from you. A true justification for 2 year absence 👏
I lose interest in projects in the first week, so this is amazing you made this for 2 years!
