hello, developer here!

id also like to thank everyone that's interested in the project and especially to all those that have followed & wishlisted the Steam page! I'm very thankful for the support from both the fans and Clickteam, who have helped me along in the process of creating the page for this game.

CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME

[UPDATE 1] As of February 2nd 2022.
All assets for use in the game have been completed, all character states and animations have been completed, the game is playable in an alpha state using very rough placeholders and basic renders, AI has been fully programmed and is currently in the process of being tested and balanced. Though playable, the game is still nowhere near in a complete state, especially considering all the work left for polish, optional features, post-game rewards and bonus content. It lacks the necessary visual polish and atmosphere to be publicly shown off, and as such footage will be reserved until much closer to release.

[UPDATE 2] As of June 5th 2022.
The game's final visuals have been implemented, all UI styles have been added and are fully customizable, and the game's AI is still in the process of being tested and balanced (at the moment there are lots of crashes and unintended behavior). After the AI is polished up and balanced, development will move forward with adding sound effects and atmosphere, menus and the endings. A small showcase of the game's visuals has also been uploaded today!

[UPDATE 3] As of August 17th 2022.
During the previous week, a Steam store page for FNAF Plus was prepared, coordinated and released alongside the help of Clickteam LLC. A "Steam Wishlist Trailer" was released alongside it to promote the store page, this page also featured new gameplay screenshots and animated promotional gifs. The developer is also putting work into original music and composing in general, working on "Test Tracks" released for the fans to judge, and experimenting with the possibility for creating a full OST for the game. Current focus is also being placed on sound work and ambience for the main nights, as well as features such as subtitles and controller support!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q)

● WHEN WILL FNAF PLUS RELEASE?
The game has no set release date as of now. No dates, release windows, estimations or promises have been given nor will be given until the game is feature-complete.

● WILL THE GAME BE FREE?
No. FNAF Plus has been officially licensed by Scott Cawthon, and is too close of a product to the original FNAF to be allowed to be distributed for free. The game will most likely be sold through Steam and published by ScottGames. Price is unknown at the moment and will be decided by the publisher, though hopefully will be priced around the same as the original FNAF.

● WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLUS AND THE ORIGINAL SERIES?
A greater emphasis in horror and mechanical complexity. FNAF Plus will feature much more in-depth enemy AI, a greater number of unique creepy events, and a bigger focus on the resource management survival game that made FNAF stand out from its horror contemporaries back in 2014. The game will also be darker (visually and tonally) from the rest of the series.

● HOW LONG WILL THE GAME BE?
FNAF Plus contains the same amount of nights for its "main campaign" as the original; five nights and an additional sixth night, which will all take around the same amount of time to complete. However, a lot of effort is being made to bring additional content to the post-game. Such as an expanded Custom Night mode, a brand new Plus mode, and a lot of other bonuses for fans to enjoy.

● WHY IS IT CALLED FNAF "PLUS"?
The name was decided on between the developer (Phil Morg) and Scott Cawthon. The name fits the game as it is supposed to be both a reimagining and addition to the original FNAF, with more detail, more scares, more content, more story and more secrets to discover. Even though the game will be different from the original experience, no content will be removed outright, only added(+) or expanded on.

● HOW MUCH INPUT DOES SCOTT CAWTHON HAVE OVER THE CREATION OF FNAF PLUS?
Aside from approving of its initial design document, giving support for the creation of the game and providing small comments during development, any and all creative and design decisions for the game are being made by the developer (Phil Morg).

● IS FNAF PLUS "CANON" TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES?
The story of FNAF Plus is set in its own self-contained alternate universe, separate from the canon of the mainline FNAF titles.

● WHAT ENGINE AND SOFTWARE IS THE GAME DEVELOPPED ON?
The game is being programmed in GameMaker Studio 2, with pre-rendered graphics and model assets rendered in Blender Eevee.

● WILL THE GAME BE "3D"?
No, the game will remain a 2D pre-rendered game, to remain faithful to the spirit of the original FNAF.

● IS THE GAME COMING TO CONSOLES OR MOBILE?
Focus is currently being placed on a PC release, all plans to port the game to mobile or console will be decided on later by the publisher.

● IS THE GAME COMING TO LINUX, MAC OR OTHER OSs BESIDES WINDOWS?
No plans are currently in place.

● WILL MERCHANDISE (PLUSHIES, POSTERS OR FIGURES) BE RELEASED FOR THE GAME?
No plans for merch are in place until the release of the actual game.

● WILL THE GAME BE TRANSLATED TO OTHER LANGUAGES (SUCH AS SPANISH, FRENCH, RUSSIAN, GERMAN, ETC)?
There are plans to include a Spanish translation update post-launch. However, this and other language options depend on publisher support after release.

● WILL SCOTT CAWTHON RETURN TO VOICE "PHONE GUY" IN THE GAME'S CALLS?
It was originally planned for Phone Guy to return to the game, however Scott declined to record new lines for the character when it came time to implement the calls. As such Phone Guy as a character will NOT return in FNAF Plus, and will be replaced by different characters that fans of the series may enjoy seeing.

● ARE THERE MORE FNAF PLUS GAMES PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE?
There are no plans in place to develop future titles beyond the current game.

● WILL THE GAME INCLUDE STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS?
Plans have been made to include at least twenty Steam achievements for the game's release.

● WILL THE GAME INCLUDE SUPPORT FOR SUBTITLES?
Yes.

● WILL THE GAME INCLUDE CONTROLLER SUPPORT?
There are plans for XInput controller support, though it MAY not be included on release.

● WILL THE GAME SUPPORT STEAM TRADING CARDS AND BADGES?
There are plans to support trading cards post-release, but this will depend on publisher support after launch.

● WILL THE GAME SUPPORT STEAM WORKSHOP AND/OR ANY KIND OF COMMUNITY MODS?
No, the game is not built to offer any kind of mod support.

● WILL THE GAME SUPPORT STEAM ANIMATED AVATARS, BACKGROUNDS, AND OTHER SHOP ITEMS?
There are no plans to offer these features as of yet, but they may be looked into after release.

● DOES THE GAME SUPPORT HIGHER FRAMERATE OPTIONS?
The game is built to run at a capped framerate of 60 FPS.

● WHY IS BONNIE BLUE?
He always was.

well, the literal only developer who was working on the game, was forced to not work on the game due to the fact that Phisnom got crucified by literally the entire fnaf community.

Scott heard & before investigating it fully (or really anyone) he was forced off.

The Fnaf Community wanted phisnom to "pay for his crimes" not realizing the only dev working on it ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with a tiny mistake.

Dawg Phil said on YouTube he left willingly.

idk what i did, i want phisnom to recieve justice sure but not get fired from the game. He wanted to work on FNAF+ but it was the stalker that was messing with his mental health then people constantly asked him daily after a year i think "WhEn WiLl FnAf+ ReLeAsE" or "iS tHe GaMe DoNe NoW"

[Blaudari]

it's a lot of things. you wanna blame anyone for FNAF+ cancellation, some blame can go to phisnom due to how he handled it but majority of it should go to the stalker.

[vozzley]

Dang fnaf plus isn't even on the store no more

Doesn't matter if people care now or not, the damage is done & the Community got what they wanted.

All the while that stalker minor is too busy asking people to rate their fit or the fact they quickly (i think almost instantly) got over the gore/death threats & going back to see the comments on the minors post, people kept calling them out because the minor said they'll kill themselves the next day but never did.

It was all for clout.

Bro, where did you get this story that the minor was the stalker. Phiz never said that, he said in the statement/apology video that he originally blocked the minor about a few weeks or months ago, which is way shorter than his situation with the stalker, and he specifically seperated the drama with the minor and his explenations on his actions, with the stalker part. And the stalker tried to capitalize off the whole thing and get attention, by trying to use the drama to get attention, along with the minor. Unless he said it somewhere on his twitter where he originally posted the situation with the stalker, the minor and the stalker are 2 completely seperate people.

I looked through his whole twitter profile, nowhere found him confirming that the victim and his stalker are the same person.
I've looked htrough all of the 106 screenshots of evidence on his stalker, nowhere was a screenshot that confirms that the victim and the stalker are the same person.
I've checked through the victims twitter page, nowhere any signs of him being phisnoms stalker.
I've checked through the stalkers twitter, no sign of the stalker being the victim.
Watched the apology/statement video, nowhere did he say that the victim and the stalker are the same person.
So, as long as Phisnom doesn't 100% that the stalker and the victim are one and the same, everything leads to them being two different people.
