Happy 10th anniversary Undertale. As surprising as it may be, despite being (mostly) a FNaF channel, I feel like Undertale and Deltarune have impacted me just as much, if not more. I was a few months late to getting into UT, but when I finally got into it, it got into it hard. The story is fantastic, the music is top tier, and the characters are so memorable. Despite all the memes, misunderstanding of his character and being called overrated nowadays, I truly think Sans is one of my favorite characters of all time. And of course, Papyrus, the skeleton who believed that anyone can change, that anyone can be a good person if they just try. I love that belief. I've hoped that to be true since 6th grade. I think everyone needs a Papyrus in their life. And I'd regret it if I didn't mention how tragic I find Asgore to be. Although Sans is my favorite in terms of backstory and potential, Asgore is my favorite in terms of tragedy. And I'm so glad that Deltarune seems to be making him important again.
Anyways, thank you Toby Fox. These games mean a lot to me. Deltarune is probably my favorite game ever. Can't wait for Chapter 5!

Heyo! I've actually made a few springlocks, but I wasn't satisfied with many of them. So here's my like... version 4 or 5 of them? I dont remember. Anyways, the bodies are based off the FNaF Movie SpringBonnie, and Fredbear's head is meant to look more like Unwithered Golden Freddy's would, but also match more with SpringBonnie. The Endoskeleton is taken from the Dead By Daylight Springtrap because I think it's the most realistic take on the springlocks.

The textures on the left are edited from UFMP's Golden Freddy, and the textures on the right are from Ubuntutu's Springbonnie model :D

This video took a loooong time to edit down and I did my best to make it interesting (especially in the beginning) since it's a tier list video, but lets be honest, unless you're interested in my opinions, you probably will find this video boring. But if you could please give it a chance since it's different from the usual video, I'd really appreciate it! :)

Hey, I know I haven't posted here in a long time. Long story short, I was feeling very not good, and sort of left everything for a bit. Anyways, it's not something that needs to be talked about, point is, I've worked on some stuff since last time here. Nothing big, just some models I thought would be cool to share, as well as updates on projects. I actually already posted these on DeviantArt but more people would see them here. Click on them to see the whole thing, and there's 4 images! Here's some explanation on why these:

1: Tiger Rock doesn't have a model publicly available (or at least a non stylized one as far as i know) and I want a full collection of FNaF character models. I said "welp, time to do it myself." I actually worked on and off on this guy for a year, mainly because I don't think im good with clothing. Still think that, but at least its passable. Also yes there's a spelling mistake on the image, please pretend it's not there xD

2: I made Into The Pit SpringBonnie right after the game came out. Since he's very inconsistent with his in game sprites, I based it off the title screen art. I also made a shape key that changes his head into the original book version. I was proud of it, but didn't think it was super special or anything. Suprisingly, a few people said mine was their favorite one, so that made me feel epic :)

3: & 4: Laplace's Angel SpringBonnie: This character was one that an ex of mine really liked from the "Laplace's Angel" collab by ‪@frideb8773‬ , so I was going to surprise her with this recreation as an avatar in VRChat, but we broke up before it was all done, and I thought it's best I don't just leave the images to rot. While making this, I actually noticed there's a few variations used in the collab, so it was a little hard to get a truly "accurate" recreation haha. I think it's a decent though :) I'm not sure if frideB actually made the original model or not considering the collab seems to be based off of Dragonalfa's Dr Sunshine video, but in that one it looks like an edit of an Into The Pit SpringBonnie. I'm also not sure if this guy has an official name or not :P

5: For context please read #3 in the projects section

Anyways, just an update for anyone waiting on any animations I was working on...

1: Vengeance Is Eternal: I have conflicted feelings in terms of the Vengeance is Eternal Episode 3 Remake. Long story short, I used to believe Vengeance was the best story I could ever make. It obviously started out with a lot of flaws, but that's why I wanted to remake the series. I thought that If i fixed the obvious issues, and fixed up some things, i could one day complete my magnum opus. Sadly, about a week ago, I took a look at the bigger picture. I still think the story is great, or at least it could be. But the truth is, I came up with this story when I was 14. Even sprucing it up, doesn't fix inexperienced writing, and remakes without a complete rewrite won't fix the rushed, unnatural, or even useless parts that were put in back in 2018. This realization is both a good and bad thing. Good because clearly if I can tell it's not as good as I once thought, I can probably do better. Bad because it breaks my heart in a way. Sure, ever since 2021, my motivation to work on anything was destroyed, but I always had the thought that sometime, I'd finally finish 3R, and that would put me back in the groove. I'm no longer confident about anything regarding Vengeance. Finn and Bri also agreed that it didn't age as well as any of us thought. I still _want_ to finish 3R someday, but after that? I can't say I'm confident in the story I've spent the past 7 years working on anymore. I'll never let go of it though, nor am I saying It's cancelled or anything. What I'm trying to say is I want to do a proper rewrite. One that isn't based off the 2018 concept I had. One that isn't written by a 14 year old, and trying to be polished up. A polished turd is still a turd. And I'm not calling the original version bad enough to be a turd. I can't. This series was the one thing I had confidence in after life went sucky in 2019. I can't bring myself to call it bad. Just not as good as I thought. I'm also not saying the main stuff would be completely different. It would still be like the same sort of base story, but not based off the 2018 version if that makes sense. Just thought I should clarify. So I guess, you can _probably_ consider (outside of hopefully finishing 3R someday) the Vengeance Is Eternal Remakes cancelled. However, you can consider a Vengeance Is Eternal Reboot to be in my future plans. Honestly I'm tearing up while writing this. It hurts that it's taken this long to work on it, and then abandon what I had. It also hurts knowing I've left everyone without answers to it for so long. Again, it's just hard realizing the thing I thought was my best work, wasn't actually that great.

2: The Mimic Epilogue Book Animation: I teased this before I left but actually started planning it in like April last year, before Secret of the Mimic was announced. All the voice lines are recorded, and I have the models and environment and stuff ready. Truthfully, this should have been out in like August last year, but I just couldn't work on it. Also there's a lot of humans in the story, and I'm still not confident with my human animation skills, I don't work with them often yknow? I still plan to work on this, because I think having an animated version of the book story for people to watch, since the FNaF fanbase hates reading. Speaking of which, I'll be surprised if anyone even reads this and doesn't just look at the images. So why am I not saying I'm currently working on it?

3: Look, if the past 4 years have shown anything, my promises mean nothing at this point. I don't want to announce what I'm working on unless it's close to done, or im 1000% confident it's getting finished. What I will say is I _am_ working on a smaller project. Not going to give an expected release on that for obvious reasons. I'm also not going to say what it is unless again, it's close to finished. Because if it's close to finished, it's like I'm obligated to finish it right? And not announcing it, means no disappointment for anyone. I will show one image of it though just because I want to show I'm not just making up something. And because I thought this frame looked cool :3

Anyways, I think that's all. Thanks for reading if you actually did. And once again, I'm sorry for the continued disappointments. I really do want to finish something. I do. I keep trying my best, but the fact is my "best" isn't very good :(

(Click to show full image / GIF) I just want to thank you all and the YouTube gods for how well the FNaF Secret of the Mimic Jackie Jumpscare animation has done! The channel hasn't done this well in probably over 3 years! I know it's just because it's just because its based on the ✨ N E W GAME ✨ and I hit the trend at a lucky time, but I'm happy to have so many new people around nevertheless. I'm working on another project, this one being based off the Mimic stories from the Five Nights at Freddy's: Tales From the Pizzaplex books! I've actually been working on it a while, but haven't done much due to lack of motivation, but seeing things going well is making me want to work on it again!

I originally posted this with the GIF showing first, but YouTube absolutely destroyed the quality of it, so now I added an image first so you can see what it's _supposed_ to look like, and the GIF second anyway. Please ignore the way the guy on the left walks, I know it looks weird and I'll fix it eventually but I just made a quick render of this shot to share, there's a few things to fix in it :)

And for those who are here for Vengeance is Eternal, it's not cancelled or anything. At this point, every project I make is under the classification of "I'll work on it when I feel like it. It's not cancelled unless I outright state it is." Also my Discord server is pretty dead, and I feel bad for everyone in there. If you're interested at all, please join! discord.gg/XTkNpTN4ab

Hope to have something out for you somewhat soon! But old viewers know how I am and problems I have. I always get excited to work on something then get burnt out so quickly, so I can never promise anything. Also my definition of somewhat soon is in a few months so oops. I hope you'll all stick around for it despite that. Also have a happy Fazbear Halloween! How would Fazbear Entertainment actually word that? Fazoween? Fazween? Freddy Fazmonth? FAZTOBER. HAPPY FAZTOBER.

EDIT: Well it seems YouTube lowered the quality of the image too. Oh well, hope it still is okay!

Just want to shout out these two videos. They included me and Finn in these. It makes me feel so nice that despite the fact I haven't contributed much to this fandom in the past few years, I haven't been forgotten :)

Heyo! In case anyone cares, I'm celebrating FNaF's 10th anniversary with daily uploads this week over at ‪@ShanManGames‬! I probably should have made this post sooner, but here's the most recent upload :)

!!This is a copy of a post I made on my Patreon page so if some stuff doesn't make sense in the context of Youtube, that's why!!

"I thought I should make an update on here, even though I don't think anyone will see it haha. I'm not entirely sure what to say but I want to make sure that anyone who has helped me out on here doesn't feel scammed. I'm still working on the next episode of Vengeance, but I'm taking what I had already done of it in SFM and moving it to Blender. I also have reworked most of the characters models in some way, or I have fully remodeled a few! I believe this will make the episode higher quality overall, and more worth the wait, which trust me, i know has been way too long. Believe me when I say I want this episode out, and I want it to be as close to perfect as I can. You all deserve it after how long I've kept you waiting.



I used to think I should always try and have a set date in mind for when the episode will be ready. To be honest though, I just haven't had the ability to be consistent ever since I was broken down in 2021. At this point, so I don't create disappointment in others or myself, my stance is it will be ready when it is ready. I of course hope that it will be out soon, but that's all I can really say. I'll show some comparisons between the SFM version and Blender version so you can see why I'm making the switch :)



Also I just want to say again, I'm very grateful to anyone who has helped me out on here. If I had known that the episode still wouldn't be out all this time later, I would have waited to make this page, since right now it just looks like I'm asking for free money- I just hope no one thinks that I'm trying to do that. I'm pretty sure I don't actually have any patrons right now, but I'll be honest, I still don't fully understand the site so I could be wrong. But I bring that up to say that it would probably be better for you guys if you don't pledge anything to me until the episode actually comes out. I want to be fair to those who are kind enough to help me out :)



About the game I said I was working on last time, I still want to work on it, but what I had felt very amateurish, at least to me. I will continue to have the game in mind but for now, I think it's best I either scrap what I had of it, or make a lot of tweaks to it in the future. I can't promise the game will be good, as much as I want it to, but despite having made some "games" in the past, I never finished those nor did I really have anything worth anyone's time. I put games in quotations because most of them weren't even good enough to be called one xD.



Anyways, thanks for reading if anyone does, and I hope to have something worth everyone's time soon!"
