We have tried to do progress recently. However, it is very difficult to implement the next big part of the project. It involves changing  the overworld sprite of the main character once there is a warp. If you ever played (or watched anyone play) the FNaF minigames, you know they feature different characters, depending on what mingame/phase it is. For example, the end-of-night minigames from FNaF 3 all happen in what is assumed to be a broken down version of the FNaF 1 location. The same map is shared throughout the five nights, always featuring another character that the player controls.   This means that, for us to be able to have the different stages of these minigames to work properly, we need a script that will tell the game to change the player's appearence to that of Bonnie when you play the second night's minigame or to Chica when you play the third night's one. However, our efforts to make that script work have been in vain. We are still far from over with this pro...

 Most of the planning is done! We now have a basic idea of how to make the character changing part work! Basic story is already written, certain gimmicks are still being thought of, sprites are being worked on, progress is being made!

FAQ

 These are some basic questions and their basic answers. This list will be edited if other questions appear. 1. Who are you? We are Elite Games, a small independant game developer team. We've worked on a few small games, though we never truly released them to the public. This project is going to be our first publicly available work. 2. What is the project? The Minigame Investigator is a fangame based off Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's. It is going to be a re-telling of the various 8-bit minigames presented throughout the series. The game will only be playable with a Game Boy Advance emulator or with actual hardware, for a more nostalgic experience.   3. How do you make it compatible with the Game Boy Advance?  The game will be a modified version of Game Freak's Pokemon Emerald (though versions 0.01 Alpha and 0.02.5 Alpha are modified versions of Fire Red) , since it is one of the easiest games to modify in the Game Boy Advance system, making it possible to play...

 We have started development in a Rom Hack of Pokemon Fire Red which will be a port of the Five Nights at Freddy's minigames over to the Game Boy Advance system. Note: we are not going to use Fire Red anymore. Check version 0.03 Alpha update to see why. We've had this idea for about a year but we never got around to do it. Now that Corona has put us all in our homes, we can work on the development of this Rom Hack more freely. Today will be spent on planning how to go about base mechanics which include: Character Selection (change the player's appearence on the fly/upon entering a room) Minigame Base (selecting the minigame that will be played; exiting minigame) Others We do not know which minigames we will be porting over. However, we expect to port: Foxy Go! Go! Go! (FNaF 2) Give Gifts, Give Life (FNaF 2) Take Cake to the Children (FNaF 2) SAVE THEM (FNaF 2) The Happiest Day (FNaF 3) Other minigames might be worked on in the future but these have priority, being the olde...
