FNaF Clone

If this is a FNaF clone, the maker really needs to make this F2P since Scott has said you can make FREE Fangames and you cannot charge for them. So this game should be taken down pretty quickly I would think...

[Mroz]

Why should they? I see no problem unless same assets or other copyrighted content is used.

[Darth Zan]

The Idea is in use... that is copyright infringe enough, but he is fine with that, but he said NO PRICE connected to it. This person is just wanting money

[RifterVix]

Agreed. Even Scott thinks so. I just saw his comment on 8-BitRyan's video... its like the very first comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pORYSGa17p4

And it is a straight up clone. It plays exactly like that of FNaF 1 and disregarding the rules Scott had set. Every other FNaF clone we've seen was for FREE because they were fan based games, and this is no exception. So either the makers turn this into F2P or say good-bye to it. We're LUCKY Scott is allowing clones to be made for *non-profit* and these a$$hats are gonna ruin it for everyone else wanting to make a fanbased game of the series. -_-

I bet this was made and charge in hopes of making fast cash before being caught. More so if the fact its pretty broken. I give it props for having the music (if not ripped either) and ambiance down. But holy crap they need to work on the jumpscares (lack of it really) and the... cues for the scare chords... those are my two issues from what I saw on the video. They might want to fix that before doing a 'Nightmare patch' ... and it better not be a total rip off of fnaf 4's jumpscares.

[Darth Zan]

It isn't even that great of quality either... I have seen videos and if it was GOOD... I would say keep the game and make it F2P, but this is a quick money grabber that (Although being taken down) will keep the money they make and use it.

scott cawthon to remove "the dolls" from steam?

in a let's play on 8bit-ryan's channel, scott cawthon (the creator of FNAF) says he wants this to be removed from steam, here is a copy paste of his comment

Scott Cawthon1 hour ago
You're correct Ryan, a game like this can't be on Steam. It's going to get taken down. Good video though!

here is a link to the video if you want to see the comment for yourself

what do you think guys? will scott take legal action on "the dolls" or do you think he is joking?




UPDATE: scott has removed his comment from the video, is he backing down or is he starting his legal case?


MASSIVE UPDATE:in a thread scott has confirmed he is taking action aginst this game, he also took a pot shot at everyone saying the dolls falls under fair use, here is a link to said thread

I know. It has potential if they actually WORKED on it but sadly its being a broken waste of space that's basically a clickbaiter to snatch money off people and run off. Another thing that's sad is a lot of people don't realize they're being ripped off by a rip off. And they highly recommend this game and pester YouTubers to buy it (which then HUSH makes more money that) to play the stupid thing.

I bet HUSH Interactive knew of the rules but disregarded them to grab as much cash as possible and run off before Scott sniffs out what they're doing. There are a lot of FNAF clones out there that are for free and some are pretty good (Those Nights at Rachel's and Five Nights at Candy's being examples). So I don't see why this one thinks its so damn special to be charging mony to play a fnaf clone.

[RifterVix]

He's not joking, that's for sure. The game is a direct copy of FNAF1 with just a change of scenery and Dolls slapped in. And its charging money thus a violation of the rule Scott had placed. He's fine with fnaf clone games... as long as they're non-profit.

And HUSH Interactive here are charging cash for people to play their damn game. Clones are to be F2P and this... The Dolls... is a clone whether they believe it or not. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then for hell's sake its a duck.

good point, but all we can do for now is sit back and watch the events play out, if legal action is taken, we will know of it vary quickly

Yup. To be honest it has a potential to be a good game if they worked on it a bit more... a little polish, some worth while jumpscares and have it as a F2P. They'd be set to get some good ideas for other games and stuff. But now they're gonna be known as rip offs.

i think if they made it a free roam type game, it could of been a hit but hindsight is 20/20

so whats going to happen if its taken down will people get their money back? what if it was a gift?

you can get a refund if you ask for one but steam won't take the game away from you if still have the game on your computer but warning, once the game is removed from steam, you won't be able to download it again from steam

[Lex_Ranglgamer]

scott stop trying you won't be able to remove it

well let's say FNAF and the DOLLS have the same content but as i think no way he can remove the Dolls from steam i belive they worked hard for this and i suppose steam won't remove it now (it's already greenlighted and if there was a problem it will be when the game didn't get the approve of people ) so as i think scott should stop disrespecting this game and the devloppers and i found this game better than FNAF (i played this offline of steam and it looks great ) and i started to be a hater of FNAF clone let's try this new game i am sure it's better than FNAF doesn't matter if you like my opinion or not i want this game to stay in steam

[Nitoriko Skye]

The game WILL be taken down. It's a cheap rip off, it has the exact same mechanics as FNaF, and doesn't try at all to be original.
"i belive they worked hard for this "
Hard on what? Copying the FNaF mechanics and A.I. and Slightly modifying it? It also uses tons of Unity Store Assets.
I have no regrets reporting it to Scott. This game, if anything is a fangame, and a horrible one at that.
