What is happening with the FNaF SFM AU?

In this video I address some things that needed to be addressed.

I feel this on an extremely relatable level, I don’t blame you for doing this. Just as long as you like doing what you do, and You feel like people care for what you do, then your Golden! Your AU was great to put together, and although a bit bittersweet it’s gone, we can now look up to more projects your working on. :)

It’s sad to know we won’t get to see the end of the au in animation form or any form but we respect your decision and we are thankful for what you have already put out and you have definitely solidified your place in the fnaf animation community because even some of your old animations still blow me away with how good they are 👏🏻👏🏻

[@zisterdizzler]

Aw man this really sucks. This was one of the most creative aus in history. At least it was fun while we had it. Hope to see you grow man

[@lukelcs8934]

When you've had next to nothing to do with FNaF for the past 3 years but still clicked on this video because you have a crap ton of respect and nostalgia for the channel. (Also, now I kinda wish I had paid more attention to the story. One thing I did always like thought was the rivalry between classic Bonnie and Toy Bonnie. Man I loved you animations for the Bonnie Song. I actually kinda prefered the original though. Just when he prepares to swing the guitar at the camera (From Toy Bonnies perspective) and says "let me play a song for you" always really got me) There were some other animation channels I'd watch, but you were always by far my favorite.

[@chair448]

While personally i didnt care for the AU i cam imagine how now it can be disheartening when people dont like something you put effort into, and certainly when they give you shit for it when they could easily just ignore it. But I'm also surprised by how mature you were about it. A lot of other creators get frustrated and make a video trying to make people feel bad for not liking it or getting genuinely mad at the audience, but you kept it civil, understand it isnt for everyone, and explained everything. Im really excited for your fangame as well, has a really cool aesthetic to it so far

[@ctrldevil]

I missed your videos :] but I definitely understand your reasons for not wanting to continue posting the AU! I hope you can keep doing what makes you happy at least

[@ChipTheFunni]

I completely understand about the cancelling of the AU. I am quite upset but not too upset about it since I was genuinely interested in the story! But hey, I actually had a look at the game on gamejolt, and from the two screenshots shown so far, I am hyped for it!! Excited to see whats to come in the future dude!

[@Shardian1176]

I actually enjoyed your au because it was one of the ones that i could see took a lot of time to make. I downloaded SFM somewhere of late year to just experiment with and play around. I understand it takes time to make these awesome story-based animations that are mixed with songs that go along. Turn the animating into a hobby. If you want to at least. I will wait. Go about your life, animate when your up to it. If you believe you can then do.

[@fours1524]

Excited to see the new stuff. The new fangame looks sweet as hell, btw! I love the idea of doing a more grounded take, especially in the 2000s.

[@b-man9002]

You’ve always been one of the best fnaf sfm animators, so whatever you’ll release will be good!

[@leonardogil352]

Ladies and Gentleman, today we lost what could possible be a great Fnaf Au and serie's We need to show our F for him I personally wish this Au someday happen in a animation, but i know that only could happen in a Au of our world And i gonna remember this idea like a great idea, that never happen for the toxic adults and the cry baby who don't know that they can't be here (this is for Teens and Young people, get out of here if your reading this) To conclude, great AU, and i want to show my respects, to you and your AU, so *F* Have a good day

[@obesemiddlenamef.4250]

Ok, harsh.

[@dubhog]

I just love your animations,they are really cool and well made And sometimes because the normal songs doesn't even appear when I look for them and instead your animations,and I'm glad with that

[@Schnort]

I really liked the story you told in your earlier Survive the Night animation. It's actually how I found your channel. I mostly watch the more recent one because I think it looks better and makes more sense. I know you don't want to be tied to what Andrew did, but I really appreciate that you left it unlisted so people can still enjoy it. Your more recent Bonnie Song animations was stellar! I liked the older one a lot, but it was an amazing step up. I had a phase where I listened to it everyday. I never really looked into your AU because FNaF AUs aren't really my thing. In my opinion, the fact that your animations have stories is what sets them apart from any other creator's work. It is super inspiring for me. Thank you for making these lovely animations, and I hope that it continues to make you happy!

[@multiiversal]

It was fun while it lasted. As long as you're doing what you like and not what you feel obligated to do then I'm happy :). There's no reason you should feel forced to animate the AU if a majority of us set it aside, but the ones who found it genuinely interesting will definitely hold on to the videos while we can, don't worry

I honestly was excited to see where your story was gonna go. I seen something special. Something unique. Like how Special Strike and End of the Members made an interesting but funny story in an Alternate Universe with tons of crossovers. Your's however, would be a bit different. A much more realistic and dark take on a story of an alternate universe but still being connected to others. I first noticed this in your Tonight We Strike music video after Special Strike released and I was HYPED. Sure I was a bit slow to watch some of your more recent videos, but that was because I wanted to make reaction videos to them, but due to a lack of motivation, laziness, college, and a feeling that no one would care about my reactions, I never watched them until more recently and I feel bad for missing out on them and I was excited to see how it turned out especially with how much your animation style has improved over the years. I don't know if you'll ever go back to the story, but even if you don't, I'll always enjoy your content. ^^

[@insanecreeper91]

Its now clear to me that I should've watched this video first when I came back to your channel instead of combing through and watching everything regarding the AU so I'd be fully invested in the story and ready to see where it goes. Fangame's gonna be amazing though, you've mastered animating these characters and it looks interesting already.

[@bioman2204]

As long as what you do is done to please you, that’s the main thing. I’ll be with you whatever you do because I love your universe.

I didn't know that your AU got hate at all, to me it was always a super interesting series to watch all the way through. With that I can whole-heartedly respect your decision to let go of it, and I wish you good luck on your projects going forward! Also that fangame look hella sick 😳

If we can see how the story was gonna go down before it was cancelled, this could possibly lead to other fnaf animators to finish what BonBun Films started. Well, minus the songs I think... I would honestly be upset but would understand. Lets see where this goes onto next. Also, LOVED that Freddy monstrosity. It looked so menacing along Shadow Toy Chica, Shadow Bonnie, and Shadow Freddy mixed together.

[@EtherealRoninERProductions]

I am going through a similar struggle I have/had tons of AU story lines or lore accurate story lines which I want to try out but I try to make the humans in the animation more lively and appear more in my animations but they never seem to work out, the more I watch my videos the more I think that this isn't good enough compared to others and that my audience hasn't exactly expanded yet, but I guess its just my impatience. Scheduling doesn't seem to work for me as everyday the world tries to throw something different at me and then I totally lose my motivation in the end I want an older audience but I feel like that can only be achieved with a more serious animation, almost cinematic hell even inspiring and I have made a lot of attempts towards this, I was also going through the same thing you said when you cant exactly make a trailer if you don't know what comes next. Maybe i just need more practice. I also worry I would go through this repetitive content posting cycle where I just post in wips or Collab parts and never make a full animation. Other than FNAF I wanted to try animate other games such as Apex legends, transformers (one got kind of popular) but obviously it was just the younger audience watching it and so on. But yeah I guess you don't get the things you want all the time.

[@GlitchPitbunny]

You write the story and a couple things you want in the vid, and they make the vid. Cause i'm sure their are other Fnaf sfm music creators out there that would be willing to help, just a thought. Cause I do want to see/ read/ hear the end.

Damn what a shame. I reeeeeally loved the story & was wondering how the end would play out, but I totally get the lack of motivation thing. Shit gets old to your own brain, & you just can’t force the long hours of animation & editing into something you’ll hate. So RIP, but I totally understand, & I’m sure the other “mature adults” do as well. Excited to see future projects, your Ennard in the sewers video is hands down one of my favorite fnaf animations of all time. Good luck, & we’ll all be here :)

Good luck with your projects!

[@Railman1225]

(re-posting this here because i wrote this in the trailer comments, when i probably should've done it here, and also i'm too lazy to write it again) To be honest, I WAS really excited about this. It sucks that most of the audience are kids/people who are all like "oh hey, scary bear from game, I click"/"oh hey, a FNAF song which I've been having trouble finding, time to listen to the music without watching the animation", but one thing's for sure, I was, and still am, *_NOT_* one of those people. I actually really like stories! It's a shame that you're canceling the videos for the AU, but if there DOES end up being a text version, heck yea, I'll read that! and if there's ANY possibility that the videos CAN be made(perhaps released on a second channel just for the AU, though managing TWO channels would be _pretty_ difficult), *yes please*
