Hi, I assume you all actually wanna read and understand what is currently happening behind the scenes when you clicked on this, so buckle up, cause you’re in for one hell of a ride!

WHERE IS V2 AND WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?

Funny story, actually, when we made our initial estimate release date, we actually were gonna be done already, but then, new ideas started coming up, and we wanted to put it in the mod due to how cool they were, along with a rogue dev coming out with a zip file containing ALL OF OUR ASSETS for V2 about almost 2 years ago, which led to us banning them, making a new dev server with better security measures, and being forced to remake EVERYTHING from scratch due to said leaker.

As you can see, after all that, we realized we weren’t gonna be able to finish by that due date, which led to many delays and many other issues along the way, which kinda demotivates us by a lot, but, we pushed through, as you can clearly tell, the mod is not canned yet!

While we were working on the update, a lot of songs, assets, and storyboard kept getting changed and remade over and over to the point there was no point of making a new release date if everything about the mod in general was gonna keep changing…

As of now, the designs of the characters, the storyboard and (most) songs have not been altered nor remade since November of 2023 iirc.

As of the estimate release date…

There is none, as making these estimate releases kinda makes half the team feel like we need to rush and shit, making the work space more like a job than just making shit for fun, so there is no more of that, we will release it when we are done, hope you all can understand as making an FNF mod this big needs a lot of care and attention put into it if you’re gonna want to make something actually worth playing and unique from other mods doing the same topic or character.

HOW MUCH CONTENT IS EXPECTED FROM THIS UPDATE?

Originally, V2 was just gonna be simply put:

  • 10-15 new tracks
  • Remasters of Isolated, Lunacy and Twisted Grins
  • Cutscenes
  • Full release of Episode 1

As of now, V2 TODAY has the following

  • 30-40 total tracks
  • Complete Menu overhaul
  • Custom OST for EVERYTHING, including the menus and game over screen
  • Revamped Lore
  • Remakes of every song from v1.5
  • Lots of secrets
  • New Engine
  • Lots of cool visuals
  • Full release of Episode 1
  • Delusional almost looking like a whole ass film
  • Cutscenes
  • Extras Menu

Yeah, it’s crazy how much V2 has evolved over the past 2 years, holy shit, we are insane…

WHAT’S THE CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT ON V2?

As of right now, the dev server is dead, not much progress is currently being made, but that’s okay!

Just because there’s no progress being made for a few days doesn’t mean the mod is canceled. We just simply have lives that are more important and more valuable than a silly little FNF mod nobody is getting paid for and being made for YOU, the fans to play for FREE.

All of us on the team have school, exams, a job somewhere, or are simply working on another FNF mod they have more motivation for currently than on FAVI!

Just, understand that after 2-3 years of working on this hellhole of a project, we can get burnt out, demotivated, or just tired or bored to even wanna work on this mod anymore.

These things take time y’know? We can’t always be working on this 24/7, and pump out the update in less than a week, that’s not how it works…

Just please, bare with us, we’re all tired and sick of working on this mod rn, and we really need a break off it. This mod will be worth the wait, I promise. Just give us our time to get a breather and catch up on more important things in our lives for a bit. This mod isn’t going anywhere.

With all things said and done…

Thank you for reading through all of this, and hope you all understand where I’m coming from, have a nice day, evening, or night, whenever you’re reading this at!
