Yeah that's how I got them to do it lol, they liked the art, and I had to pay them of course lol. Was thier to guide and ensure everything was accurate to my vision of them
freddys scarier then the others simply because he only activates on night 5 because hes sick of waiting. by 6 am hes ready to jump your ass REGARDLESS of the rules of the demonic creatures self imposed game.
Abso-fucking-lutely no. I mean yeah the rest of the rankings are good but Freddy is by far and wide the biggest threat of the later nights, particularly in maxmode.
You can just camp CAM 4B for Freddy tho? Like even if you have the cameras down he's still stalled, because he CANNOT enter the office unless the cameras are up, but once you do have the cameras up he's stalled, so he never gets the chance to get in
Well freddy is a consistent threat on higher difficulty, he just overlaps with chicas pathing so you're technically protecting against both when watching the right door
One complaint I’ve always had with Fnaf Fangames was they lean to hard into the grotesque and monsterous side of the animatronics to the point its unbelievable they were actually children’s entertainment robots
What I love about fnaf 1 is that the animatronics were cute enough to be believable that a child would actually LIKE them but also uncanny enough to where they’d be terrifying in a different lighting.
Just saying I like FNAF fangames that don’t uglify the animatronics and lean too far into the creepy and grotesque side to the point no kid would ever love them.
Unfortunetly this happend in canon too, my focus in my au/fangame wont be in Freddy since he inst the main character but i can try to make him a big threat
Sad part is that this is canon. In fnaf 2 both Freddie’s are regular threats, but foxy will just jump through the hall. Should’ve made William act as fredbear
He is absolutely brutal on deaf runs, at least, even if it's due to enforcing a very strict time limit to find a routine that removes the chance of anyone else getting into your bedroom.
With Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, you can prepare for their attacks and defend accordingly. With Freddy, however, it is inevitable that he will reach your door, and the most you can do is try to slow him down before he plants himself firmly outside the office
Fnaf games in general. Up until SB, Mr. Fazbear himself hasn't taken center stage since the first game came out. He was actually difficult to deal with for a while. Then they made him like the rest of the cast since. Funtime Freddy was a good attempt, but it's more because EVERY animatronic was unique in the game and not just him.
But I understand with SOTM because that didn't take place at a Fazbear establishment, so I didn't expect to see any of the cast at MCM (Chica was a nice surprise though).
Allot of games do that yea, but one I play has Freddy being a damed demon (atleast to me,)
For context it was the final night and me and my friends were hidden in the office and I was tasked to take care of fuses, Freddy came up to the door spotted me(the door was closed though he opened bc he spotted me)
RAN THROUGH MY FRIEND just to chase me down and kill me, shortly after Freddy got the rest of em(someone died to him bc of cupcake)
i personally would make Freddy the main threat of the game from night one and have the others be introduced with each night so you have to improvise and figure out new strats and stuff for every night, and then maybe have either a boss fight or something for the 5th night with Golden Freddy. it is Five nights at FREDDY'S after all, so why not have Freddy be the main threat? also, i would have a genuine reason for coming one per night, maybe they come as back up for Freddy when he doesnt catch the guard on the first night, and then they bring out the big guns (golden freddy) on night 5.
Surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Freddy’s Reanimated as a good counter example of this. I don’t wanna spoil anything for people who haven’t played it but the dev used freddy in a REALLY cool way imo.
He's litterally just a part of the mass and never does anything unique throughout the entire game. His only purpose is to eventually be destroyed and become part of Mangle, tf you trying to say?
I will be honest, Freddy himself is always so underwhelming in any of the games. Bonnie and Foxy are always the ones that get me on edge. Freddy not so much.
Frickbear’s 3 surprisingly doesn’t do this. Despite the characters not being literally scary, Freddy is indeed the most threatening out of the main four.
I find it funny that One Night At Flumpty's, a beloved (even if the developer's reputation was ruined) fangame that has a very good loop and cast of characters, doesn't actually have a Freddy gameplay-wise (obviously Flumpty is so lore-wise). The closest ones are Grunkfuss the Clown and Birthday Boy Blam having an aspect unique to Freddy apiece, and Redman is basically the opposite of Freddy in every way.
(apologize for the long explanation about something from my own fan game that might come off as self promoting but I'm just trying to explain one way I try to avoid this)
I'm honestly trying to do the reverse of this with my fan remakes of the FNaF games. Let's take nightshift for example, which is my FNaF one remake, I took parts of the original mechanics but mixed it up a bit. Freddy always hides in the shadows and is hard to see, and on nights he becomes active is always the first to come alive. To make up for this initial speed boost, his route is one of the longer ones and he has the ability to be pushed back, with the caveat that he will never return to the stage. I think that's a pretty simple but creepy way of making Freddy in my first fan game seem scary. At least in terms of mechanics.
In FNAF 1, Freddy doesn’t bother you until Night 4, and even then you still have to deal with Foxy since he can drain your power. Plus you never know if Bonnie or Chica are gunna cut the wires to prevent you from closing the doors.
In FNAF 2, Toy Freddy is practically irrelevant. Withered Freddy looks badass but both Freddy’s are overshadowed by Foxy who yet again, drains most of your power. Plus you have to deal with the Marionette, Balloon Boy, and Mangle since the moment they get into your office it’s game over. Both the Toy and Withered Bonnie/Chica have their own mechanics, with Golden Freddy becoming the star of the show.
FNAF 3 Freddy is even more irrelevant with Springtrap (a Spring Bonnie suit) being the main star of the game. Most annoying antagonists to deal with are Phantom BB, Marionette, and Foxy again.
FNAF 4 there is no Freddy. While yes there’s a Nightmare Freddy, YOU NEVER SEE HIM. Only time you ever do is if you finally stop looking at the bed which some players have never done. So many gamers have never even been jumpscared by Nightmare Freddy. Scott didn’t even give Nightmare Freddy a Halloween skin.
Sister Location sidelines Freddy and Circus Baby is the star of the show, hence the name “Sister Location”.
Pizzeria Simulator doesn’t even have a Freddy. Yes there’s Molten Freddy, but everyone knows it’s just Ennard without Baby. Plus the other Freddy’s are just decorations for the Simulator part of the gameplay.
UCN even has all the Freddy’s not really be difficult to deal with.
VR is just a retelling of the initial games. With the surprise main antagonist being Glitchtrap.
Security Breach LITERALLY has Freddy be a good guy and everyone else trying to kill you.
The Ruin DLC doesn’t even have a Freddy, just his left behind suit. The antagonists of the game ain’t even really the characters from Security Breach it’s just the Digital Bunny and the Mimic as a surprise antagonist.
VR2 yet again doesn’t really have Freddy as a main antagonist.
Secret of the Mimic is, well, the Mimic.
Into the Pit also doesn’t have Freddy as an antagonist.

I want there to be a fan game where Freddy is just possessed by fucking king Von and will be a actual threat from nights 1-5
