The Most IMPORTANT FNAF Game That Disappeared

The problem I always had with Illumix leaving the game is that they hyped up a lot of stuff, one of them was adding security breach characters after the release of the game. And they just left in the middle of that fake hype.

0:24 - 0:38 MatPat: Never before have I been offended by something I 100% agree with.

Great point that this game couldn't be played in one sitting. Miyamoto said something like "A good game captures your imagination in the first few minutes of play". If a game takes hours to get going, few players are going to come back

The blob being made up of AR animatronics would be a great explanation for the puppet's lack of tear tracks. If the AR animatronics are meant to be replicas of all the original/pre-withered ones, then of course the puppet wouldn't have them. It only got the tear tracks after going outside for Charlie and the rain made its face paint run.

hold on, it’s been a year since they abandoned FNAF AR already?! 😳

It’s sad that fnaf ar was abandoned, it has a lot of potential, I loved the skins (even if there were lack of characters) the artists did a good job, lefty’s animations and model was made but sadly not released, I hope maybe one day, illumix will learn from their mistakes and return

Has Matpat ever made a theory specifically on FNAF AR? If he hasn’t then he really should, it has a lot of theory potential for him

Footage from your first playthrough of SB has done WORK for your videos in the past year

its not a real sunday unless im procrastinating watching lore about a 2014 indie game series

It’s a shame that such an ambitious game got abandoned. What a time we live in!

I did think that people were very harsh on Illumix. They were making this game when covid was happening. They brought out weekly updates for a game that is very complicated and hard to code. And they partnered up with Disney to make an AR game so they needed some time to plan that out and make it. Alot of people just kept complaining about why they have hardly done anything and are being ungrateful for the full entertaining year of 2020 that illumix worked so hard on. I will admit I am also annoyed that they have not done anything for over a year now and they haven't said why. But I do understand that they must be very annoyed and scared because of how the fan base been treating them.

Another critical facet of SB lore is hidden in the AR emails. While near the final boss in the "true" ending of SB, Freddy does hint that he Glamrock animatronics started to behave weird after visiting the FNaF 6 building, to most first time players, the Glamrocks would seem to become murderous for no particular reason. However the emails from AR reveal the reason to us, that the Afton virus was uploaded to Fazbear Inc.'s main animatronic servers so all the replicas are now under his control, which Vanny later does to the Glamrocks as stated in one of the CDs. Without AR, it wouldn't be confirmed Afton had control of them, just that he was in the Pizzaplex systems, which might have just been part of the process of getting him uploaded to his old body.

Something about Fnaf AR that I still love is my history with the game, well, at least at the beginning. I remember Illumix posting snippets of the full alley image and Reddit piecing it together, and I was one of those people piecing it along with a friend. Then along came an opportunity to get the game earlier than others, and I was one of those who got it! As John mentioned in this video, this was a couple months after HW, and I remember saying to that friend as I was collecting dark remnant in the game that "Imagine if Glitchtrap jumped out at me," and we chuckled at that then not even a minute later, here comes Shadow Bonnie. We laughed so hard about that, and it's still my favorite memory with the franchise.

A friend of mine was at the charity stream. After talking to an employee for a while he said to me that the employee told me there are plans for FNAF AR. I hope he is right.

Illumix has their reasons to not update the game right now. On their recent 24-hour livestream they said that they're in a spot where they can't really say anything whatsoever about its development. They never classified it as abandoned or whatever else means not updating the game ever again. It's just on a huge hiatus, I think.

I remember back in 2014 when there is only one game and the theory was that I was based off of a shooting or some sort of killing in a Chuck E. Cheese after it closed, and that just fit even when I go back and watch that theory I still get chills. It just worked really well but then it got more complicated after the third game I would say. You it used to feel very connected like I understood the story but now I feel lost I’m very disconnected I’ve stopped caring about the games only because people keep making theories, even though we were right and Scott decide to change his mind. I want to stop, and think maybe there isn’t any lore. Maybe it’s just a creepy horror game which just seems to have lore but is just creepy for atmosphere. God I miss the old days.

I really hope Illumix returns, I really love the new voicelines (especially Freddy Fazbears), characters, lore, and skins

This video is the exact reason I have dropped making anything with FNAF lore. Things are extremely complicated to research, the books have some very valuable information that is. I have been replaying FNAF SB, and stopping to look at things every once and a while that I never noticed on first play thru, Like the Freddy Schematic at the top of the stairs from the Sticky note room.

I don't remember if I read this or heard it anywhere, but the version of Funtime Freddy in the blob is specifically the version from FNAF AR, with it's completely different looking endoskeleton whenever it pops its faceplates open compared to the Sister Location or Help Wanted counterpart. Could be looking too far into it and it was probably just a design change who knows anymore lol

they're not offended, that unfortunately happens to a lot of mobile games, toxic fandoms and apps cost money to keep running and some things are just not profitable or sustainable, the real offense is people upset they abandonded it but also didnt play it
