Unfourtanetly, AnArt1996 has confirmed as of his last ever FNaTi related Twitch stream that FNATI is cancelled once again. This blog post will discuss some of the stuff he showed as well as a link to the official assets he once released that I have reuploaded with his permission.
Reason for Cancellation:
While he was developing the game after releasing the 2017 alpha, his old computer died, and unfourtanetly thanks to this he couldn't log back into GameMaker:Studio 1.0 even after getting a new computer and backing up all his files, since 1.0 is no longer supported by YoYoGames. He tried out GMS 2.0 and didn't like it that much. So as a result, he cancelled the game. He also says that he will never be able to finish it.
WITH ANART'S PERMISSION I HAVE RECORDED THE LIVESTREAM SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MY RECORDING OF THE STREAM HERE: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1czCFlbHLWVw5g7FXGggT9Vko0gUAjKB-
Now onto what he was planning.
He actually tried reviving the game as far back as 2016, it just wasn't revealed until he released the 2017 alpha.
He was planning a daytime mode at one point but almost instantly scrapped it.
In the intro to the game you would actually be able to explore the island on foot via click and point, almost like Pirate Caverns. If you got to the directional signs and went to the right, you would enter the building, but if you went to the left you would go to a totally new section of the island.
In the 2016 version he was adding a ton of new things. For instance he would make it so when you press shift to hide under the desk it would come with complete animations of the camera panning from the office view to under the desk.
For those who remember, back in 2015 AnArt released a model of Nightmare Sparky on his deviantart. This model would actually appear in the game as a mix of an easter egg and fully functional character, complete with his own jumpscare animation.
I'll finish the rest of this in a bit cuz im tired.
