These fangames, with the exception of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Plus, will be released in “bundles.” The bundles will include the previous creations of each fangame series with expanded content, as well as the newest entry picked up by Cawthorn for the initiative. Kane Carter, a developer currently involved in the initiative with the fangame Popgoes Evergreen, describes the initiative as, “an official collaboration between and five fangame developers, where Scott funds, promotes, publishes, and essentially treats some fangames in the same way he would treat his own.” Current projects that Cawthorn has selected for the initiative include: Five Nights at Candy’s 4, Popgoes Evergreen, One Night at Flumpty’s 3, The Joy of Creation, and a remake of the original game called Five Nights at Freddy’s: Plus. Cawthon is essentially investing money towards the development of multiple fangames heavily inspired by the series, and even remakes of original titles. Originally announced in August, 2020 via Reddit, Cawthon introduced the project as, “a giant collaboration involving several fangame creators who have made some of the most popular fangames” in the Five Nights at Freddy’s community. In an effort to engage with fans and elevate creators in the community, Cawthon established a project known as The Fazbear Fanverse Initiative.
While some of these creations take inspiration from the series to create completely original titles, other creators have tried their hands at making spiritual successors or prequels to the original series.įive Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon is privy to the acclaim and fanbase of the series, and interacts and encourages the community as a result (which isn’t a huge surprise, given Five Nights at Freddy’s own humble indie-game beginnings).
