Correction: The Puppet in FNAS2 who is officially called the Luiginette (I mean it makes sense Marionette litterally has Mario as the first 5 letters of the word) was actually made as a memorial to Luigi following his "death" in FNAS 1 that's right, he survived by iirc hiding under the desk causing him to accidentally fake his death

I will never fully trash games like these, because of how they were made. These games are very clearly small projects made by kids and I think that's pretty neat. The fact that someone young was able to get a game up and functioning is honestly impressive. People can underestimate just how much work it takes to make a game that actually functions. Plus, it's also important to encourage kids to embrace their creativity and try and make something, rather than just put them down. I hope the devs get to work on bigger and better things in the future.

Man, FNaS is one of those fangames that I remember only because during middle school, I had a friend who was really into Sonic, and during the Fnaf boom of the mid 2010's. He drew the FNaS characters and cut them out to play with me during snack, lunch and whenever the teachers gave us free time to play. Ah, the memories I have of him and I playing with cardboard/paper characters that we drew and cut out with all the wacky stuff we did and made up about them. Ahhh, fun memories. Anyways, good video on the topic! Would be cool to see you talk about other old Fnaf fan games that were popular at the time, like as someone suggested, five nights at Wario's.

[@gemwolfz2860]

i ADORE the art style of the early FNAS games. it's not "good" in any conventional way, but just by looking at the game, you can see exactly what era of the internet it belongs to, and what kind of person it was made by. the fact that a lot of it was initially drawn on flipnote studio is just the icing on the cake, too!

[@fIorapetals]

I had NO idea this particular fangame series got so extensive! You're right about the FNaF fandom I think, I remember watching a let's play or two of the first game and never played them or really any canon FNaF game either. The premise is silly and the art is maybe wonky sometimes, but as a 13-year-old kid who just got into creepypastas? It was genuinely a great watch to just have some mindless fun and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It makes me happy to hear the team is doing well and has improved so much.

Some viruses can inject themselves into executable files (especially installer .exe's) in order to spread, so it could be that either the original dev or the person who sent it to you was unknowingly infected with some kind of worm virus that infected the game/it's installer. It may also be a false positive, that happens a lot with fan games. The only way to tell would be to use something like VirusTotal to scan it with many different antiviruses and see how many of them see a virus.

[@andremrh7690]

Or just set up a VM for playing fangames or buy a cheap laptop that you can nuke after every install. I'd personally recommend the latter. FNaF fan games, for the most part, don't tax GPUs too badly.

It would be sick to see a video on the Five Nights at Wario's series of fangames. They need so much more recognition than what they've got now, using incredibly interesting and unique mechanics that I don't think I've seen anywhere in other fangames. One of such mechanics is a sort of quest that takes you between each game to complete tasks in each other. Data carries over between games, and it's incredibly cool. It's incredibly underrated and has created a community that has made multiple well-made fangames such as FNAW: Trapped Within (I helped work on this one!) and a few others. FNAW as a whole needs a lot more attention. I will note that there are two versions of the games - updated, newer versions of the original games, and the originals. The newer versions add new modes and mechanics to the original game, so consider it just the original with a few added features. These new versions are needed for any cross-game stuff.

I remember being so invested with the series back in the day, I’m not as involved as I once was, but this series is still part of my top 5 purely out of nostalgia for the franchise, I’m glad to have been a member of this fanbase Edit: Something I forgot to mention originally was that some of my fan works were even recognized by some of the major members of the crew, specifically Smiler himself

i'm a bit late to replying but the reason everyone looks at it that way is because it's the only game in the ENTIRE series that was made official to feature stolen and uncredited assets, mixed with a horrendous art style that looks like scribbles even more than the ORIGINAL games in the series. the game also didn't follow the lore in the slightest, to the point where character names were completely wrong too. idk how it was ever made official.

It's actually kinda poetic that FNAS3 was the entry where the game design became competent and not a ripoff of previous FNAF entries, considering that's also the entry where professional talent ended up getting involved with the game. The Phone Guy in that game (who is actually supposed to be Silver the Hedgehog) was voiced by a FNAF Fangame youtuber by the name of TheGameSalmon, and he would later go on to also voice Nightmare Sonic in Five Nights at Sonic's 4 and Maniac Mania, as well as Shadow Sonic in the latter entry.

[@lungilungo9734]

I’d love if you covered the TRTF series, even though those games had many laughable flaws in both gameplay and writing, it had some sort of charm to it I can’t place. It manages to capture the old mysterious feel of the early fnaf days. Plus the history behind the creator makes for good content.

[@ym2612girl]

DUDEEEEEEE, this is like my personal favorite FNaF fan-series of all time. Even if the games are considered crappy, they're so fucking charming.

[@vibemasterkorosu2469]

Quite indeed. Even thought Sonic's 1 & 2 are kinda meh, they learned from those games and went on to make Sonic's 3; 4 & 5, which are quite honestly actually good games. Like seriously, I'm ready to say that FNaS 3 is better than the original, FNaS 4 is similar to FNaF 4, but it's got it's own mix of gameplay & mechanics. FNaS 5, the most unique of the bunch and my personal favorite, while being kinda boring the first 4 nights, still captivated me thanks to the lore and gameplay it has been able to give. Like seriously, you even get a Hardmode with different designs for most of the cast after beating the 1st chapter

Glad someone with far more credentials and editing skill than me was able to get on out though! Fun little fact I learned though, I actually asked TheCyVap himself some questions for extra info on the series, and the famous inside joke that started it all was a comic he made of the Fnaf 1 characters hiding in the Fnaf 1 office from Sonic.exe, which feels perfectly in line with the tone and vibe of the series.

FNaS will probably be one of my favorite FNaF fan games ever as my KZbin channel is named after Origin Sonic but it does have its flaws sometimes

[@Exe_gaming030]

Personally I enjoy the idea of the game as a fnaf fan going through an embarrassingly late sonic phase

[@EsmeraldaTGG]

This series feels somewhat personal to me, as I've talked to CyVap multiple times despite not being friends with the guy. (Our convos were never really thorough, and I doubt he remembers me now, but I still vividly remember having talked to him.) I actually found this series through him commenting on an old piece of art I had made of my own Five Nights at Sonic's idea, and I was a fan of the series ever since. It's really nice to see someone talk about this series in a retrospect, and it's a treat watching the art evolve over the years. (Especially comparing it to CyVap's art nowadays, like seriously, it looks pretty damn good now!) Don't really have much else to say. Glad we are in agreement that FNaS 3 is super fun!

[@aceaholic4919]

you should do audiobooks! ive been listening to your videos while doing other things and its wonderful! love the stuff you do :)

[@terminalvelocityrunner2202]

An honest thanks and props to you for delving this deep into the FNAS games and their background. Not many people give this sort of thing enough, let alone any light, and you did them justice. I don’t love the games, more of a “meh” from me on all of them. But the fact that there’s this deep a rabbit hole that so few people have properly covered makes me incredibly glad you did do it because this is super interesting. Thanks!

[@gilbert3672]

On the topic of fan games, does anybody else remember Sinister Turmoil? It was this cool upcoming free-roam fnaf fan game that alot of youtubers were hyping up back in 2017-2018. I believe it was gonna have multiplayer too. It might've been cancelled but idk.

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Sadly it was.

[@Maggie66112]

Yea I remember watching the completely first one that's just some models animatronics in ruins. Not the mangle thing. I was so hyped:(

[@Somersalsa]

12:53 Never got so hyped about hearing triple trouble instrumental. It really is that good

[@nickedits9273]

13:42 Balloon Boy replaces Toad? Toad was my favorite character in FNaF 2

[@Bisctard]

Sameee so iconic and I love the balloon boys from mario

[@dummy_the_mannnn]

i actually loved fnas a few years back. it's very nostalgic especially because i moved houses when i first fixated on it.

[@whyamistuckintraffic9065]

its nice to finally see someone talking about this, i used to love fnas a long time ago, i miss it lol.

[@TheHyperTuber-VantaBlack]

This series has quite a legacy on my tiny channel, lol. It is pretty interesting seeing a proper analysis into these games, impressively made after FNaS3, and yet somehow it still just feels like clones. Fun games one can play if they have nothing better to do. I do remember playing FNaS World before it was deleted, and it is certainly a fever dream. I can't say much on it as the computer I played it on is now far long gone, but the game itself was very distinctive from FNaF World due to how hidden and weird the endings were. I don't think it served any lore relevance, but FNaS World is definitely the Pandora's Box of the FNaS series.

[@anijay64]

I kinda like how triple troubles instrumental is playing while he is talking. That is one thing I like, FNF mods are not that serious when it comes to copyright issues and claims. But to actually talk about the video, it’s a decently well made FNAF fan series for being a recreation created by a kid trying to learn coding through that project.

[@MuppetHell]

No way, my brother worked on these games. Placed2nd [or just 2nd]. he helped around with some assets during mamiac mania and was friends with the team. Hell his first videos on yt were him playing the game. Now he works on remastering the Five Nights at Wario series and I gotta admit, he's doing a great job at it

[@Zeroedout491]

@SmilerFurcifer and they have gone silent after you commented lmao

[@Hello________________]

I didn't see them in the gamejolt credits page

[@gringledioxide4601]

ive been a fan of fnas for a very long time, great to see someone i love make a vid on it!

[@_M00nLight_.]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO,IF IT WASNT FOR YOU I WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND SHADEDVANILLA'S ALT. I grew up with Fnas it was so cool watching Taste gaming play it.

[@arthurpietrogarcia1057]

Great video! Can you cover the Five Nights at Wario's series? Just like FNAS the First one is Just a fnaf1 clone but the rest of the series is actually pretty dope with interisting mechanics.

[@Comical_Gentleman]

It's about time someone talked about this great series

[@dopesickdog]

longtime watcher, just subbed bc you nearly got a Trojan on your brand new PC to bring is content, thanks for your sacrifice my dude

[@dawnablesawakened3819]

Its really nice to hear talk about FNaS I loved this series as a kid.

[@graysongdl]

My only memory of this series is that I briefly tried all the games in a row, just expecting every single one to be a 1:1 clone of each FNaF game. I remember being genuinely surprised by the new stuff 3 had to offer. I think that's the point where I stopped going "haha funny MS Paint FNaF clone" and started to think "damn, I've genuinely witnessed growth here tonight, I respect that." Damn, I even still have the "FNaSTale demo" on my computer, all the way from when I downloaded it in 2016.

[@thepaperunicorn09]

I was actually thinking about this series , and I have a idea to reboot this series but it will be completely different

[@milkshakemarauder9979]

Great vid. Creep up the good work

[@Deezitron]

Idk why, but watching you gives me an adrenaline rush for some reason, your content just that good I guess💀

[@mr.jeffinizor2713]

do return to freddys, easily one of my favorites for its artstyle and unique mechanics but, its very obscure and i think i remember hearing alot of controversy surrounding its creator and what eventually shut down the 5th game

[@pokade3659]

if i made a fnaf fangame tier list the top 5 would be 1 tyke and son lumber co 2 five night at sonics maniac mania 3 the five nights at candys series 4 the popgoes series 5 the joy of creation series its kinda sad that the series ended on a spin off game, these game had so much pontential, and it was the first fnaf fangame i ever played, i dowloaded fnas world and played it a little bit for a month or so, it didnt have a story mode so i got bored of it, but then when fnas maniac mania was anounced, i was hooked, i dowloaded the demo the DAY it came out and i loved it, then when the full game cameout i also dowloaded it the DAY it came out and i loved it even more, i watched walkthroughs, lore videos and more, i miss these series and maybe one day the devs will release a new game, who knows after all, maybe these series will make a comeback..... edit: in fnas 3 there is salvage golden sonic wich is a secound salvage sonic wich adds more fun and makes the game more challenging, (btw there is a fnas world game where you just choose 8 characters and fight random enemys wich was kinda fun it even had a final boss wich would have a random chance of apearing, idk if its a hoex or not but its a block mario robot)

[@alfiebell6058]

By the way, in fnas 4, its revealed at the end of the game that you play as luigi when one of the animatronics finds the hat the main charecter dropped, which is the same hat luigi has. Somehow, he didnt actually die in fnas 1, and salvage sonic found out he was hidden in the place from fnas 1, leading to him to make a plan kill luigi to keep him from telling anyone about him and his nightmare friends, which gets ruined by golden sonic, who attacks and stuffs salvage sonic into the toymare animatronic, as revealed by an halucination you can get. It is pretty cool that fnas 4 takes place in the same office as fnas 1.

[@grapeguy765]

wow, it's the most impressive fnas video i've ever seen, it made me feel inspired to do my version of the saga (basically a remake of fnas, its name is five nights at sonic's rebuilt)

[@mrbrightside3722]

Thank God you didn't pull an LS mark and played through the entire series before making a video.

[@thefrenchcaller7803]

Based

[@Sonic-qc5cq]

?

[@doodlebug47]

I have fond memories of these. I was really young, so I didn't really know what I was watching. If it had Five Nights in the title, I clicked it. But this is really one of those "so bad it's good" games. The MS Paint graphics and kinda weird gameplay are oddly charming. It's a fond memory of mine, and it'll be in the back of my mind forever, resurfacing whenever vaguley mentioned.

[@Kaslitchy5847]

I really enjoyed this video and I didn't knew how much there was about this fangame series. I would like to see you cover the return to freddy's series (trtf) it's really interesting series especially what happened outside of the series and I really think you should cover it

[@immute]

Me stoned watching in complete awe and shock the events of the five nights at sonic's lore unfold before my eyes

[@pangoldie]

God I was there since the very beginning I loved Mario and Sonic as a kid and i was too scared to play fnaf so i just played this instead After some time i forgot about this series (i think a little bit after the 4 game) So seeing this again after so long brought so many nice memories

[@thenotoriousbum6950]

This may sound crazy, but I legit knew the developer in high school, he was a real character and to this day I wonder where he is and wish him well

[@MikeyGamer-vy2ir]

i used to watch gameplay of the game, oh so nostalgic man i love to see it exist a little more in this year

[@Star_Man21]

When luigi died it broke my heart

[@KatFuzz56071]

In Fnas 4 he wasn’t dead like everyone thought he was he was hiding under the desk while Sonic jumpscared

[@maas1208]

1:21 That Pfp has a style of artwork that reminds me of a certain FNAF Animator

[@youknowwho5251]

The FNaS Series is weird, yes, but something about it makes it pretty neat. FNaS Maniac Mania is really fun, and with the (hopefully) upcoming Maniac Mania Infinite adding a lot more, the FNaS series is promising. Also, FNaS All-Stars.

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

My mind is melting trying to comprehend this series, also oof on that trojan

[@DamageMaximo]

I remember that game, I had lots of fun playing it back then, good times

[@bendyfan-yd1ez]

22:20 I pretty sure in fnas all stars version of fnas 4 the breathing issue will be fixed

[@redthing3449]

If i remember correctly. There's also other rooms such as the bathroom rather than only staying in the office (reminds me a lot of fnaw 3)

[@LordExetior]

Fun Fact: There is also a fanmade Five Nights at Sonic’s mod for Friday Night Funkin. I remember seeing it a while ago, you could probably find it if you just search it up or something.

[@gabrielsmith8001]

I wish they would band together again. It would be nice if they finished the canceled projects

[@ChaosAttorney]

I can never forget this series
