FNAF RUIN Unused Maps, Characters & MORE | LOST BITS [TetraBitGaming]

[@depressedcakke3877]

The entity was probably changed because I’m pretty sure in the games it’s technically supposed to be a good character. It was just trying to stop Cassie from freeing the Mimic, and was probably programmed by Vanessa. Why would she make her protective security protocol look like a dead rabbit? It wouldn’t really make sense.

[@SandwitchZebra]

Random guess from me: In one of the Frights book, William Afton’s spiritual form is represented as a skeletal rabbit-man with a prominent ears Perhaps the SB team, knowing that the books were already going to be seen in a new light once Mimic was confirmed canon, decided to change the design to prevent further confusion and stop people from possibly making the incorrect conclusion that this is Willy boy’s spirit?

[@spinozilla2421]

yeah, the early look suggests the early story may have been glitch trap programming still active and still have murderous Afton personality

[@TetraBitGaming]

That's very true

[@solgaleo3533]

Yeah, what I was thinking too, the entity is the security program trying to keep the mimic trapped, maybe the early design was from when the story was different, like maybe the entity was related to the mimic/afton/glitchtrap/vanny/whatever before being changed to the security system

[@llmkursk8254]

Hopefully they reuse it at some point. Thing is probably the *actually* creepiest thing in the series, as it plays on how people recognize humans and their features by having both a rabbit and human skull fused together, rather than bunches of spikes for teeth.

It feels like Gregory speaking through the staff bot is the real Gregory even without looking through the file names.

She has her walkie talkie on her, there's no reason for the mimic to try and contact Cassie like that.

The thing hinting towards Carnival is the room we find mimic in. If you get the scooper ending, he is wearing what seems to be a torn up lion suit, but this is actually a mixture of 3 suits. The other two suits are only visible if you brighten the room in the ending, one of them being a blue bird with pink glasses and the other one being a very old and dirty carnival elephant suit. Both of these look like actual mascot suits rather than animatronics, neither of them having an endo.

[@foxypotato112]

Maybe, before the animatronics, the used those in carnivals and thing like that? It would nice to see the past of these suits, but i guess they won't do it

[@electrobob992]

@@foxypotato112 My theory is.. The mimic in the game's universe was created BEFORE the springlock suits. *Remember Scott did mention before the Books are 100% canon to the game lore* Judging from the excess rust it has, possibly rebuilt itself after it was destroyed by it's creator. I theorize that Afton actually built this with a previous partner prior, OR this was made by the original Fredbear's family diner. Before Fazbear bought it out. This animatronic being very advanced, which Afton would have noticed and tried to replicate.. Sadly it was too.. Difficult to control, resulting in him making later attempts to make the future iterations easier to control. First.. Made springlocks to easily "shut them down" and control them when needed. FAILED. Next, after his son was bit he realized souls could make them more docile during the day. Leading to the events we saw so far, while the mimic was left in pieces buried in a lost room.. But unknown to even Afton, this animatronic was repairing itself over the years. The only thing it has similar to Burntrap is it's left hand, and no purple hue common to afton.

I have a hunch that “Carnival” might have to do with the mascot suits found in one of the hidden endings. Given the attire worn by the mascots, and their usage as walk-around costumes, they seem to come from long before the actual foundation of the Pizzaplex, perhaps from a carnival-based setting. The placement of the dev text, perhaps it could have been possible to see the mascot suits in all endings?

The “white box” maps look to me like a blockout map, where artists “block out” an environment with basic shapes so they can go over them in their art program of choice and paint over them to make the environments,, it’s used a lot in game design (source: I have a game art bachelors degree with honors lol)

[@NightRaiderTea]

Also they mention passes, they probably remade environments multiple times, I wouldn’t be surprised if it took more than 5 passes to reach the ingame outcome (At uni we were also told to constantly make new saves of the progress so if you screwed something up real bad, you go back to the previous save) Also the Gregorys are probably for scaling things like props or the animatronics.

The one where Gregory talks through the staffbot could further prove how Gregory was trying to communicate with Cassie the whole night, like he said at the ending with the mimic. :))

[@2468GlennvW]

The Fazerblast Whiteout map is a almost certainly a layer they placed overtop the original Security Breach version of Fazerblast to plan out the DLC path, which Unreal Engine allows you to do using data layers. Generally you start developing a level using a "blockout", with just the rough shapes, it seems Steel Wool uses the term "whiteout" instead.

[@Azrael_Equinox]

I feel like the old Rabbit design was cut when steel wool decided that the entity would be MXES and I believe it was changed design-wise as the story was changed at some point that the Rabbit wouldn't be Glitchtrap or show that design-wise the rabbit we see is less referential to being Glitchtrap. Now, if the Rabbit *was* Glitchtrap it would either be Green or Purple like we see in the old design (that being the colours of William/Springtrap) but MXES appears more of a deep, darker blue in game (and if you ask me resembles more of a Hare than a Rabbit) and generally looks too out of place to be another William variant.

[@CobRaM4tRIX]

I mean Steel Wool is going to make future FNAF Projects and we already have a trailer for Help Wanted 2 so I wouldn't be surprised if they were meaning that there would've been a secret for another project internally titled "carnival". Hence why they said "foreshadow" and not another descriptor like "cool area that looks like a carnival" It seems like JTOP has the full knowledge of the narrative direction for Steel Wool's projects (plus just considering the marketing for other projects and such into account) which is why all the "easter eggs" that give story implications require his input specifically rather than approval or anything else. I think they may have had the go ahead at one point and therefore made the mimic theme with a carnival influence before scrapping that easter egg and simply didn't take time to remake a theme. We've seen merch recently that was oddly carnival themed with no explanation. And Help Wanted 2 only shows Sister Location's setting which was surrounded around a circus theme. If they have an entirely new project codenamed "Carnival" or are calling Help Wanted 2 "Carnival" internally due to the primary theme of sister location then... I mean it'd make sense that someone wanted to put an Easter Egg in RUIN for it.

Interesting that there's mention of a carnival at 21:15 considering the recent circus/balloon themed funko releases... all of the various figures, plushies and funko pops in that line were advertised as belonging to Security Breach, before being hastily rebranded to 'Balloon Circus'. The Circus Chica character also has a strong resemblance to Glamrock Chica, especially in her colour palette. Maybe we'll be getting another DLC, this time themed after a carnival. Considering the Pizzaplex is destroyed, it would make sense for Fazbear Entertainment to want to keep the brand going, choosing to lean into a carnival/circus theme that can be easily relocated around the country. Whether 'Carnival' is a new FNAF game or an SB DLC, looks like we might be seeing the Circus and Balloon animatronics for real!

[@ComedicVerdict]

The very early version of the sinkhole with the original three could have been so interesting. What if it was planned to have Cassie walk in there being all confused why they're there, only to have the Mimic jump out of that "pirate cove" to chase her. Maybe the Mimic was imitating the original characters voices, and the slice of cake was the Mimic only expecting her to appear down there. But who knows what it actually would have been like!

16:46 a Diffuser Attachment is a thing that you put on the end of a hair dryer to diffuse the air and make it less harsh. my theory is that they were already planning the child nodes to be giant out of place objects, and since Roxy is Cassie's favorite animatronic, the diffuser probably was going to be in place of the mirror, with cardboard cutouts of Roxy helping Cassie style her hair

[@LordLifeDream]

The reason why most of the Whitebox maps are just floating geometry is probably because they were streamed with a map that had the missing floors and other missing stuff (streaming a level means that the level is loaded into another level, and multiple levels can be streamed at the same time. It is used in almost every unreal game of this type.). The gameplay map is also a thing they did in the base game where they moved all interactable stuff and things that aren’t just deco into a map, I am guessing because they are made by a different team or just to make finding and changing them easier. Also, edit because I just rewatched to that point, they could have merged the staffbot voiceline with the Gregory one even if they are in separate files as WWise, the audio software used for sb, has tools to do so. Still don’t think that is the case though because you really can’t hear it in the actual game.

[@solgaleo3533]

I think the rabbit was from an earlier point in development when the story was different. The entity is actually a security protocol of sorts so they probably changed the design when they added that. Maybe before it was meant to be an incarnation of Glitchtrap or whatever

[@LordLifeDream]

@@solgaleo3533 might be, but I don’t think they would make such a detailed model at a point in development where everything is still white cubes (or even earlier, the whitebox maps already have references to it as a security system). Also, the model really doesn’t look like the sw artstyle we’ve seen everywhere else.

[@ioddandodd]

If it was just a model from online I feel like the community would have found it pritty fast, plus character modelers aren't always the same as environmental artists and probably made it during a time of different ideas.

[@LordLifeDream]

@@ioddandodd The thing is that it really doesn’t match the style sws had for every fnaf game and even before. Also, to me it looks like the whitebox maps are from a time before anything was made by modelers (especially because they wouldn’t have reused the HW animatronics in the very early one), so it would be weird for them to spend so much time on a model this detailed at that stage of development, where not even the puzzles had any model at all. Actually, didn’t they post like a year ago that they had their vertical slice build done? Which means the whitebox maps are from a time before they said that, as they are missing gameplay elements, which are like the only thing that is there in a vertical slice. And we know they have settled on it being a security system before even the whitebox maps were made, as they contain references to it as one. I don’t have the exact date of them telling us about the vs build, but it was a while ago, so they would have had to make that model around the time of early concept art which would be a really strange decision based on the detail of the model. The community not having found it just means that it isn’t from somewhere obvious like sketchfab, but it still might’ve been included in a bigger purchased pack from unreal marketplace (sws has bought assets from there before) or might even be from a different project entirely, but again, I might be very wrong as I don’t know anything more than anyone else here, but I think it is very unlikely they made a very high detail model in a very different artstyle from everything else they’ve done (even in the early poster we got it wouldn’t fit) at a very early point in development, without modeling other gameplay elements like puzzles. All of this is speculation, so I might be very wrong. It being an early version would also suggest a bigger story change, which has to have been done early enough for it to be before the whitebox maps and early enough to not leave anything except that model (and maybe that one whitebox maps with the animatronics) to not make ruin a cut content hell like base sb, but that change still has to have been made late enought for the early version to get a detailed model. But even then it has to have been changed early enough to not have many animations and to be changed before any of the puzzles were finished. Edit: just scrolled through the first 20 pages of the unreal marketplace and almost every third model in the characters section has that artstyle (that, again, doesn’t look anything like steel wool’s), so it is probably from there

[@chreestafunni]

3:30 I actually got this once, I was so confused on what was happening at first, took me a moment to realize it was the staff bot

[@MissAcres]

The purple arrows are most likely a scrapped ai pathfinding layout concept. So most likely early on the player was probably going to encounter an animatronic here but either they didn’t have time to find a good way to implement it or it was just a small idea that was placed in just incase. Part 2: The red boxes we see at the area where cassie goes and Helpy clames is safe can be either 4 things. Answer A. They could be potential camera station placements as the spots seem specific for that but since there is two this is most likely false BUT you can argue that the developers didn't know where to put said camera stations so they put these two there to help visualize that. Answer B. Maybe they where spots where they would have possible put anomalies for the camera station. Answer C. Most likely there was going to be a teleport in the area to help get around faster. Answer D. There where camera placeholders to help the devs program camera placements in advance. Personally I think they where supposed to be camera stations that might have also been placed to lure "Then Entity" and or again as I said for A. just potential spots for the camera station. Next edit will be my thoughts on the "Wire" minigame as I think it can easily be explained Part 3: The Wire minigame place holder was most likely a place holder for the mini game where you try to get all electrical wires on the blue since they are wires. I don't remember if in that area there is a minigame like this so if there isn't it was probably removed to not slow the player down and if it is then ignore the last part. Part 4: The disco balls could have been used for 2 things. A. It could have been used for reflection map testing but this is most likely not the case. B. These are decor that could have been in the final game but where cut early on in development. I believe this is most likely the case due to it being a bowling alley. Part 5: The staff bot saying gregories lines but with the text to speech was most likely a different version of how gregory would have contacted cassie. It would make sense since gregory would be programming the robot to say that but I think the devs scrapped this since it would confuse the player that this is actually the real gregory trying to reach out or even gregory reaching out at all since he has been using the walkie talkie this whole time. It also doesn't add to the creep factor that an A.I is just awkwardly repeating cassies name and asking if she was there even tho he is looking right at her and on most playthroughs acknowledges her existence.

i REALLY hope they add the survival mode. the mega pizzaplex is huge, and having a mode where you have to go around and explore seems super fun

I believe the unused Freddy gang are placeholders for the Rockstar animatronics. Would've been so cool to see them underground! And it gets me REALLY excited for FNaF Help Wanted 2.... please give us Pizzeria Simulator content!

[@schaschia6332]

Since both of the notes refernce Jtop directly i think its related to the ending where you find all the secret doors and the mimic dresses up as a lion. This could be the version of the mimic they refer to as carnival since it has fully matching themes. Matpat also speculated there to be a connection between this carnival and babies circus but other than theme I don't see a strong connection here.

0:03 “Thank you, please enjoy” That’s brilliant! 😂

[@Twiddlefinger_nugget]

[@ikaiju-eu9wn]

the carnival probably refers to help wanted 2 which will take place in the sister location bunker, or it might reference the mysterious fnaf balloon circus, and the original animatronics were probably a placeholder for the rockstar animatronics

[@terpine8984]

The ominous Gregory’s are most likely size references, to make sure the map is to scale and so the character can run trough it without getting stuck

[@hokton8555]

there is a common belief that MXES is a good guy and the actual security protocoll so it makes sence that he doesnt look like "nightmare demon skeleton ghost rabbit"

[@UltraCraftYT222]

Its not a belief it's a fact

[@hazakurasuyama9016]

@@UltraCraftYT222well yes and no, yes he is a security system, but I don’t believe he is JUST that, yes he’s opposed to the mimic but that doesn’t mean he’s a good guy, it’s like in bendy and the dark revival, both Wilson and the ink demon are opposed, but both of them are evil, just different kinds If the mxes bunny was a good guy why would he send animatronics to KILL Cassie? It would make him just as bad as the mimic? Why not just chase her without killing her, or repeating a message? Clearly he’s a sinister entity too Not to mention he may have not originally been part of the security system and he was added to it considering it’s stated the entity isn’t supposed to be in the vr world Last but certainly not least, the rabbit’s design screams “I’m William Afton” like why would they make a security system a purple rabbit? Both the color and animal are associated with a serial killer who tainted Fazbear entertainment, why would someone create an entity designed to protect people with a design reminiscent of a serial killer? Personally my headcannon is mxes, or at least the entity, was created by William Afton to prevent the mimic from replacing him Because no one wants to be replaced Dang this was a lot of text for a dumb theory

[@Mama_Monomi]

At 20:42 maybe the carnival is related to the fnaf funko leak where the animations were clowns?

[@MegaFly95_]

19:32 I almost sure that this hallway is the one that conects the backery and the beauty salon, on the top of the atrium, over the main stage. The doors, the shape, and the wall colors, fits with the atrium hallway that you can find in SB behind the level 10 door on the top of the atrium. This makes sense, because the bakery and the beauty salon are on the opposite points of the atrium, the exact points this hallway conects. The name of the Map is also "CupcakeSalon", reference to the Salon and the bakery. This also will explain the curtains in the map, are the ones of the main stage. This hallway was replaced by the VR section that conects this two zones. I found funny that anyone found this out before. Sorry for the bad English.

[@That_1_cool_guy]

At 21:10 i think its an early thought of adding candy cadet to the rubble as he predicts the end of the game and i think carnival is a short name for the end/mimic stuff

Oh my god I’m absolutely late but I’m OBSESSED with mimic’s chase theme, it’s SO SPOOKY and dramatic, I’m living for it.

[@red-man7017]

I believe that the purpose of the gregory clones is that they were to act like AR hallucinations, kinda like the cardboard cutouts of Cassie & gregory respectively in the final version.

[@Adem92Foster]

"Carnival foreshadows" is 100% referencing to the 2(3) suits that we can barely see in the game at the end section, maybe the one that was cut and is only outside the map (Lion suit).

[@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop]

[@chaos4654]

The beta security system rabbit could provide very different implications to the lore, I think. Like maybe that Beta MXES rabbit would've been an enslaved Glitchtrap or a repurposed Glamrock Bonnie? It looks way too zombie-like to have been put together from scratch unlike (seemingly) the one we get in the final product.

[@nightrunner823mcpro2]

The "Carnival" thing that the text was referencing may be for a future game as a ton of funko merch was released this year for an unannounced installment called "Fnaf: Balloon Circus". Said merch features the main cast in really cool looking carnival themed attire, and we know it's not a funko original because there's t-shirts sold with art of one of the characters made by one of the official fnaf artists. Whatever it is, it seems to be something new and big for the franchise and may feature actual costumes without segmented limbs (like real animatronics) due to the design of the merch. Regardless it's something to keep an eye out for and the fact it was acknowledged at all by SW means it's definitely a new game

[@godzillapark9075]

IM RUINBORN AFFTON I ALWAYS COME BACK

[@vultivenom1750]

Given that there's a lion and an elephant costume in the ending room, I feel like "Carnival" has something to do with them. It might be where they're going next with FNaF, or a side project they're working on. Regardless, I'm excited.

[@pie7395]

21:20 Watching Funaff’s theory video and Matpat’s theory video on what is next for the series really brings way more hype to that dev text.

[@AmberMakesStuff]

[@Jreft]

There were carnival animatronic figures leaked from funko pop. So i beleive it's definitely the next big game, also the Costumes in mimics room, and the one mimic wears, maybe is the foreshadowing since we haven't seen those designs ANYWHERE

[@zem_yt]

Yay! A lost bits for the new DLC! I wonder how this’ll turn out!

[@lncoming]

24:03 This makes me think that they're just making this stuff up as they go, depending on whatever the community wants the story to be.

[@boxjoker7553]

I really hope we can see the “Rabbit” again, maybe for a new form of glitch trap

[@finian2]

That MAP_WHITEBOX_GatorGolf_DLC map at 8:41 is most likely a sublevel for another map. Developers can create sublevels that eventually get compiled together into one overall level to allow multiple people to work on the same map at the same time, without having to lock out the entire map for any changes.

[@duskshadowbrony]

I'm not a fnaf player, but I do love seeing unused content in any game, it's so much fun speculating the future, and what was never to be. Though, at 21:40... The beginning really sounds like it could be used as a Terror Radius theme in Dead by Daylight, with the chase music being right after. I may lose a bet. I bet that FnaF would never be in Dead by Daylight, and if I was wrong, I would buy someone the DLC for it. Damn, lol.

[@SolarEclipseDragon100]

10:11 the arrows on the map represent model guidelines, most likely for Chica's walk path and possibly chase sequence either they never finished it or a bug occurred during testing so they scraped it

[@joeybishopthe2720]

[@imaginationsquare]

There is some other moments when Gregory speaks to us in the game, and they explain some really wierd dialogue, e.g., when you see Roxy for the first time and you hear Gregory say ''Cassie? Cassie? Are you there?'' and Roxy get's mad at Gregory, that is also real Gregory

[@PixelDough]

The carnival stuff is really crazy, because of the leaked Circus versions of the classic animatronics which got leaked because of merch releases. And judging by the outfits found in the Mimic's room, I'm guessing those characters have something to do with said "carnival" as they're all circus animals (or well, at least two of them, a lion and an elephant). I'm guessing the "foreshadowing the carnival" ended up becoming those costumes

[@yngbro]

No one knows what the lion costume means on the mimic but maybe, because lions are seen in carnivals and stuff, it could be the ‘cool foreshadowing for Carnival’

16:43 a diffuser attachment is a piece that goes on the end of a blow dryer! it looks like a big bulky brush that the air goes through and is used on curly hair! which makes sense that this would be here since it's roxy's salon. considering i have yet to see a comment talking about this, they may have changed it since it seems like some people don't know what a diffuser is.

[@LucarioShirona]

So the unused Rabbit suppose to the M.X.E.S. original design? Well makes sense now why the design change. It’s likely been designed by Venessa to keep Mimic trapped. M.X.E.S. was never the bad guy.

[@deefelt]

The old Rabbit’s twitchy animations kiiiiiinda look like Springtrap’s menu animations from FNaF 3

[@theaether3124]

[@youdonotcare]

Random idea for survival mode: it'd be cool if you could pick a character from one of the game modes, like Gregory: Can summon Freddy and become invulnerable and faster for a short while Cassie: Slower, but can bypass a few doors and obstacles with the AR mask. It also shows where nearby gift boxes are. Hypothetical Carnival Character: The fastest and starts with an extra security level, but no special ability.

[@natedaboi1608]

The company that makes fnaf toys made some action figures that were called circus animatronics so it could’ve been a hint to that

[@usernamedjb663]

they were most likely a funko exclusive set, not anything to do with the games

[@I_like_Plants130]

New design is fine, but I love how creepy the old design is!

[@DJisslightlyaverage]

"old rabbit" probably wasn't used because it would have made it less accessible for the younger ones playing dlc AND It feels much much more related to Afton looking like a ghost like human skeleton mixed with a rabbit like a AR version of purple bunny Afton that was in the base game. I'm assuming the "glowing heart orb" is his soul or what he used to fuel the animatronics but from himself keeping his AR virus version alive Remnant ? Was it called I forget
