The Cupcakes in Secret of the Mimic were initially intended to have an aggro mechanic, where standing in their radius for too long would slowly aggravate them until they alerted Chica. In the final game, they simply alert Chica immediately if standing too close. #FNAF #SOTM

@HNICaroline It does nothing. there is no code inside of it

@TechnicalFNaF Is there any way of seeing what this is actually used for? Like what does DeleteTheEntireProject do for instance?

In the backstage loading docks level blueprint, there are four variables: IsSad, OutOfTears, TimeItTakesToBreak, and CryingTime plus two functions called “Game is broke” and “Delete the Entire Project.” Some Steel Wool employee was clearly not having a good day. #FNAF #FNAFSB

In RUIN, there’s a unused item known as the “Monty Photo.” The file name implies it was originally meant to be found in the daycare. Collecting it does nothing, as the item is no longer functional in the game. Cassie also has an unused voice line where she mentions the photo.

As we all know, Secret of the Mimic’s main menu screen shows Arnold’s van outside of MCM, but within the files there’s an unused variant featuring Jackie. This is likely just a placeholder. #SOTM #FNAF

Fun fact! In the pre-release build of Secret of the Mimic, along with other oddities, there are three vans outside instead of just one like in the latest build. They also appear to be using an older model. #FNAF #SOTM #PreRelease

An unused variation of the HELPI UI can be found within the RUIN files. It includes the removed brain icon, which is now used in the endo training minigame in Help Wanted 2. #RUIN #FNAF #HW2

Like Security Breach, RUIN was originally planned to include a Survival Mode. In this mode, players would complete minigames to fix “glitches.” The instructions for these minigames still exist in the game files:

Never before seen Secret of the Mimic concept art has been found! These early designs reveal Mr. Helpful with the same color palette as Helpy, along with concepts for Sleepy Moon that show the Mimic hidden inside him. (More in replies)

New FNAF: RUIN concept art has been discovered! Three pieces reveal early designs for the Maskbot, the Faz-Wrench, and the Camera Station, but that’s not all. We’ll be posting never-before-seen Secret of the Mimic concept art soon!

Fun Fact for Security Breach’s 4th Birthday! A developer who worked on Security Breach as part of Babaroga shared that the game originally began as a survival-only experience, with the story mode added later, and that RUIN had a fairly different story early on.

Addendum: On the store page, the game shows that its supported for VR, its definitely releasing soon!

VR Mode is on the horizon! Thanks to SteamDB, we can see that Steel Wool has added a new VR launch option to Secret of the Mimic through their testing branches, confirming that VR support isn’t dead and is coming in the near future!!!! #FNAF #SOTM #FNAFSOTM

New as in newly found.

New FNAF AR imagery has been found on a promotional artist's website. #FNAF #FNAFAR #whosnext #ar #vr

A full list can be found here, in the FNAF 4 section: docs.google.com/document/d/1gz… Other games affected include UNDERTALE, Outlast, The Forest, and Sonic Adventure 2. No other FNAF games were affected. (2/2)

Pre-release builds of FNAF 4, going as far back as 3 days, have been found due to SteamDB briefly making private builds public. Changes include missing demo assets, no phone call easter egg, and Foxy Bully's shirt being a slightly different color. #FNAF #FNAF4 (1/2) 🧵

Ticket To Fun has been found! User mlgfreddy05 will share more on the Technical FNAF discord server. Beware of spoilers.

A Steel Wool developer’s portfolio revealed the workshop originally included 3 different tasks to obtain springlock parts, adding puzzle variety. These were later cut to keep the gameplay focus on collecting the parts. #FNAF #SOTM #FNAFSOTM
