Hello all! Hope you've all been well!

Firstly, I want to thank you all for the incredible support with purchasing the commemorative tokens and stickers from the site! As my first ever merch drop it was amazing to have so much support from people from all corners of the world. The funds from these coins go towards keeping the future projects on this channel alive, and I'm thrilled that so many of you are so excited to take home a little bit FNAF Fan-Project history home with you!

As specified on the purchase page for the coins, the aim is to start fulfilling orders by Mid-September. That's now! And I'm happy to report they have been shipped from Auckland, New Zealand, to Texas, USA and are now sitting with my distributor nearly ready to go!

USA-Based Coin Orders should be rolling out within the next week or two, with (hopefully) a reasonable lead time on deliveries!

International Coin Orders will be rolling out just after the US orders. To note, as with recent additional tariffs on exports/imports, as well as some countries freezing imports from the USA, this has caused a delay in fulfilling International orders. Rest assured me and my distributor are moving as quickly as we can to ensure these get delivered as safely and quickly as possible!

All Coin Orders will come with a tracking number to make sure you can keep tabs on when it arrives! This will be delivered to you through the email provided when you purchased the coin. Nice and tidy!

Sticker Orders (USA and International) are being sent directly from here in New Zealand. I personally stamp and post each letter containing the stickers, and I'm aiming to fulfil these orders along with new Arcade Alley Patreon Members (who get a sticker set for free!) within the next 5/7 days!

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to message me through Patreon, Discord, or send an email to the channel's contact email:

Series 2 modelling and environment design is coming along well! There's already been progress pics on the JRS Discord Server, and we've had a couple of streams already to showcase what I've been working on so far! Once I have completed areas, I'll be sure to upload a post to Patreon!

Thanks for your time, team! Will keep you updated as things progress!


More to come, folks!

As requested, the entire "Fredbear's Family Diner" series has now been stitched together into one MASSIVE two-hour feature length film! 🧡

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhVOq...

I've never edited together something on this scale before, and it's amazing that the runtime for the whole project is just over 2 hours and 7 minutes!? Wow! Better get your popcorn and snacks ready!

I've taken the liberty of cutting out all the black "ad spaces" and transitioning episodes as smoothly as I can from one to another. Ads will still play occasionally throughout the film, however if you'd like to experience the story uninterrupted consider heading on over to the channel's Patreon! There, the film will be uploaded in even higher quality and totally ad-free!

Other adjustments to the film include some minor sound replacement, a colour grading/quality overhaul, and most copyrighted/problem music replaced with tracks that are more thematic!

Thank you once again for such an amazing journey creating this over the past two years! Couldn't have done it without all of your support!

I'm returning to the depths of Unreal Engine as I continue with production for Series 2. Wish me luck, and you'll see me in a few months' time when I return with FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZA PALACE! 🐻🐰🐥🦊

Lads who FNAF together stay together! And I'm calling in the JRS Family to come and help a fellow FNAF Animator out! 🫡

Friend of the channel (and Time After Time Show Tape animator!) ‪@buzzareanimations‬ recently dropped their INCREDIBLE short film "No Place To Run" - an awesome blend of classic FNAF VHS-Style story telling mixed with an impressive array of cinematic shots and sequences!

Unfortunately, the YouTube Gods deemed the video TOO GRAPHIC FOR YOUTUBE and restricted the video across the board. Awful news, especially after I've watched him work so hard over the past 14 months to get it finished. As the Executive Producer on this video, I was there to help out with every element ensuring Buzzare's directorial vision was able to come to life, and he's absolutely poured his heart and soul into this monumental short film!

He could really do with the support of this amazing FNAF community, and so with him re-uploading a censored version of the video, I encourage all of you to go check out this new edit and help boost this awesome bit of cinema up in the algorithm! A like, a comment, a share, it all does wonders! 🧡

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaeIn...

And, if you want to see the UNCENSORED version of the tape, be sure to check out his Patreon where he's uploaded the video for you to check out!

Available only on jakeryansouthgate.com from August 16th!

I've had these little fellas tucked away safely since the end of last year, waiting patiently to drop for you all as I finally complete the first series of "First Night as Freddy" and the "Fredbear's Family Diner" story!

It's be an incredible journey from start to finish with this project, and I wanted to do something different to commemorate the adventure. Getting to make these was a wonderful break from making digital art, being able to design and create something physical you can hold and display!

Only 100 of these coins have been minted - once they are gone, they’re gone forever!

These solid metal tokens have a beautiful vintage brass finish and come with a certificate of JRS Authenticity. Each package is individually numbered and features a small piece of artwork from the series.

These designs are a slight variation of the coin Evan is given by Jeremy in the Finale, showcasing the year the series is set in (1983), the year I started production (2023), and the channel name in the iconic FFD logo style! Radical!

These limited edition tokens are USD$39.95 to purchase, and all paid Patreon members receive a discount code to say thank you for their existing support!

More details on the website jakeryansouthgate.com and feel free to message me on Patreon or Discord if you have any additional questions!

Check them out and set your Calendars for the drop! 🧡

The Bite of 83' (Part 2) • Fredbear's Family Diner • Finale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooSh7...

Wow, I can't believe we made it. Just over two years since 12:01am (Part 1) was uploaded, we've reached the end of Evan's story. What a journey it's been battling the ups and downs of Blender, Unreal Engine, Hand Animation and Motion Capture. It's been such an incredible experience going from what started as a little side project to keep me busy while finding work, to now becoming my full-time occupation getting to make cool shit for the best community in the world. I'm the luckiest lad around I reckon!

In case you missed it, don't forget to watch the previous part so you're up to speed!

Thank you so much for an incredible adventure. It's been worth every second. And, if you're all keen, it'd be absolutely Faz-tastic to have you back again as PRODUCTION STARTS ON SERIES 2! LETS GOOOO!!!

Love, Jake 🧡

Hello there!

With the success of the last design challenge and the awesome variety of submissions we had, I figured let's open the floor for a SECOND CHALLENGE!



Difficulty Level: ★★★★☆



ARCADE ALLEY! A name synonymous with FNAF. In Series 2 the arcade is an expansive multi-level area on the East side of the Pizza Palace. It features midway games, access to the ball pit/play area, and countless cabinets full of the latest games of the early 1980's!



I've provided five styles of arcade cabinet shapes for you to pick from, all based off era-accurate machines. Like the Foxy's Bar Design Challenge, the only limitations are the required colour palleted to work with and keeping things looking and feeling like it belongs in the Faz-verse. Asides from that, you're free to come up with anything and everything you can think of! A discount Donkey-Kong knock off? A reference to your favourite piece of FNAF media? An inside joke between friends?



Download the high-quality images from my Patreon for free!

www.patreon.com/JakeRyanSouthgate

Select your choice of arcade shape, colour between the lines, and email it through! Easy as!



Deadline for submissions is July 23rd! You can do as many styles and submissions as you like, and I'll pick the best of the best to include in the final show! Please email your designs to the project email:



firstnightasfreddy@gmail.com



Get ready to level up! Can't wait to see what you all create!

• A community highlight/shoutout shot out for fun projects that have been set up by my amazing Patreon Discord members!

All that and more for as little as $1, $3, $5, or $10! Whatever you're able to muster to help keep the project afloat!

Not long to go now team! Go survive the likes of The Mimic and Springtrap, look after yourselves, drink water, be kind to one another, and hang on tight! I cannot WAIT see you all at the finish line!
