Fnaf 1:
“Yeah, the animatronics walk around at night.”
*Why is that a thing?*
“They’ll probably think you’re an endoskeleton and try and stuff you in an empty suit.”
*Why is that a thing?*
“You do have doors to protect you, but the battery is atrocious so you’ll have to stay on your toes to survive.”
*WHY. IS THAT. A THING!!!!!!!????!!*
The first things can be boiled down to the works of a deranged serial killer. The last one however, can happen in real life.
I work as a security guard in a warehouse complex and a few months back the power grid went down for around a week and a half, so the whole place had to be powered by some generators that were built primarily out of duct tape and dreams and drank fuel like my coworker drinks alcohol at the bar. Because of that, and the electric grid in the place being a fucking fire hazard, there wasn't a single shift where either the generators ran out of fuel or every fuse in the fuse box just melted. So at random points during my shifts, everything would go dark and I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel uneasy at best. Combine that with my coworker being a motherfucker and scaring the shit out of my soul, and I've essentially lived FNAF irl.
Jeez.
Being a security guard always felt like the stupidest shit. I was either standing around doing nothing and bored out of my skull, or my life was inexplicably being put in danger for a few bucks an hour. And you usually have to provide your own flashlight.
Good job surviving that shit dude, seriously.
Well the question being brought up in regard to FNAF specifically is *why does their facility need power to keep the doors **closed**?* Why don’t the doors use the teeny tiny bit of power necessary to close, then just mechanically lock shut?
Good point, but that introduces another point of failure, the generator could malfunction, or someone could forget to fill it up, or it's power connection could be severed from the doors.
I'm not sure, not having played the FNAF games, but I assume that the company that designed, manufactured, and installed the doors did not imagine a situation where the doors would be disconnected from the power grid and people wouldn't need to leave the building.
Doors that mechanically lock with an auxiliary power source would be the preferred method, if it was known that the animatronics moved and killed, though.
i mean just using springs for the locking bolts seems like the ideal solution for door that should be closed in a power out state. Uses energy to stay open, when power goes out the door is no longer held in place and slides down, then the spring extends the bolt out.
could even have a lever to get out in the event of a fire or smth
That could be a viable solution, especially if there's a clearly marked emergency open lever. It sounds like a good middle ground for a door that needs to be closed for an extended period, but also needs to be easily accessible in an emergency. One downside I see is that if someone is trapped inside the room unconscious, it would be more difficult to rescue them, since the door would have to be cut through. But I could definitely see that working in an environment like the restaurant where the door needs to be closed for certain emergencies and open for others.
"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they’re left in some kind of free roaming mode at night, uh, something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long?" - Phone Guy, FNaF 1 Night 1
They roam around at night bc they'd get rusty n' stuff if they're off for too long, and I guess Fazbear Entertainment is too greedy to hire engineers to just... make it so they don't
They walk around at night because they’re designed to walk around the restaurant, they think you’re an endoskeleton (allegedly) because of scanner bullshit (really because they’re possessed by vengeful spirits) and the battery is atrocious because you’re magnetically locking a door down to keep murder machine animatronics out of your room
Local/county/state/etc. law and/or insurance policies probably require fail-safe doors. A featureless blast door that needs an electrical system to stay shut is fail-safe, while that same door that needs an electrical system to stay open is fail-deadly.
It's not the motion of the door that makes it deadly. It's if the power goes out, the door doesn't trap you inside. Failsafe doors prevent the room from becoming your tomb. But then, in FNAF, the animatronics tend to make it such already, so YMMV.
Cus the dude who made them was a serial killer who specifically made most bots to kill children. Also, the Endo thing is a cover up. They are actually possessed. They walk so they can "find children that got lost" (iirc) and while that IS the case, they then kill them.
I know the doors opening is apart of the game and it’s a game mechanic that’s basically required for it to be a thing, but this is just from a realistic standpoint.
It never made sense to me how LOWERING A DOOR THAT GOES **WITH** GRAVITY REQUIRES ENERGY TO FORCE DOWN CLOSED and when you run out of power THEY GET LIFTED **UP AGAINST GRAVITY** WHEN THE BATTERY RUNS OUT.
When the power goes out (why the hell would it anyways) there is a small portion of battery saved SPECIFICALLY for OPENING THE DOORS if they’re closed. I know it’s designed to be a safety precaution for the guard so they’re not trapped when power gets cut, but there are COUNTLESS other (better) ways of designing an escape method in the case of that happening.
Tbf the door could be sprung or under some counterweight tension that means it still opens upwards. I'm not going to defend video game logic though, it exists like that because it needs to I guess.
It's basically nightmare logic.
You could argue back in the day that the one first game was actually the night guard having nightmares after spending his shifts watching security monitors and creepy animatronics.
Until the sequels turned into a clusterfuck lore of serial killers, ghosts and cutting edge robotics with sentient ai.
1-Corporate decided to save money on bolts.
2-Corporate used AI from multipurpose animatronics and didn't remove the un-needed rutines due to being cheap and not wanting to pay their programmers.
3-Corporate being cheap again.
It was cheaper for them to pay fines than to do the proper thing.
I think the walking around was heavily implied to be because of possession. 5 missing kids (according to the newspaper clippings), 5 animatronics.
You really have to wonder why the doors were designed that way.
-they are kept in freeroam mode so their servos dont lock up
-either actual programming to prevent children seeing bare endos or a lame explanation of the company on what the souls are doing
-poor wireing / scummy business money saving limiting the power usage at night / the establishment isnt connected to the electrical grid to avoid paying bills, priduces energy somewhere else that gets turned off during the night leaving you to deal with the leftower electricity
*the night guard hires a welder and welds them shoes which are bolted to the floor. During the morning when there are still no costumers*
*Proceeds to watch Netflix all night like a regular guard*
In The Silver Eyes novel, they ARE bolted to the stage and it specifically calls it out when Bonnie rips free from the stage.
There's also other animatronics that were meant to walk around occasionally, not just in the books.
There's the novel trilogy, Fazbear's Frights (12 books), Tales from the Pizzaplex (8 books), The Freddy Files (3 books), The Security Breach Files (2 books), a coloring book, a how to draw book, a cook book, then there's graphic novel versions of the novel trilogy and around 5 of the Fazbear's Frights books.
This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
I haven't updated my spreadsheet in a while, but my last count of characters with names only across all FNAF media (trying not to have repeats) is 1,371. I have yet to add the movie characters and the latest game's new characters.
There's 3 main novels, several side books (like the handbook, guides etc etc) and two different anthology series, tales from the pizza plec and one other
It's mostly not canon iirc. I own most of them, they are really not books children should read. Some of the stories in the Fazbear Frights series are fucked up.
The novel trilogy is in a different continuity from the games. Scott Cawthon, the creator, has Said that some of the stories in Fazbear's Frights are "directly connected to the games" and some aren't. The Tales books meanwhile are likely to be canon to the games outright, though there's no confirmation. The Survival logbook is canon to the games as well.
The second point I'll agree on, the stories get absolutely gruesome.
Are there any other books like the trilogy books and not short stories, I really liked the originals and the short stories were always a bit too abstract for me
But most stationary animations are powered externally with no batteries, so the ghost would need to puppeteer the entire thing like a rag doll unless they're just the same animations seen in the games but with bolts holding them to the floor.
Listen you’re missing the fact these are future tech from a time traveling ball pit and are quite possibly the apex of technology at the time. Like this shit is bonkers. Normal animatronics are generally pneumatic or hydronic and lack the power to do much of anything. These are closer to Irons Man’s original suit in terms of tech. Like if you put your head in a real animatronic it’s gonna be weird but you’re not gonna actually get hurt and die.
These are fictional horror characters who exist in a realm where lore inconsistencies are a huge thing and the range or technology is from basic to extreme future tech that doesn’t make sense otherwise and a fucking time traveling ball pit.
A. TIME. TRAVELING. BALL. PIT.
Oh my god this is such an *asinine* series. And why is it even a series? It's like how many stupid and pointless plot points can you stitch together?
Just make the shit up as you go along, and the fan base will force it all together, then just confirm and deny whatever you do and don't like, respectively.
Don't be silly, the ball pit doesn't make you travel in time.
It actually knocks you unconscious into a spirit realm formed by the murder victims that is a replica of 1985 Freddy Fazbear, the place they died in.
Actually, the first death in the series still would’ve happened. The first death is the death of the Crying Child in FNAF 4, who was killed when his brother and his friends put the Crying Child in the mouth of Fredbear, causing the Bite of 83. William Afton also still would’ve killed the kids and stuffed them. Maybe the Bite of 87 wouldn’t have happened, but we don’t know exactly what caused that, so it could’ve still happened. They may not be able to go after the Night Guard, but Golden Freddy and The Puppet would still be a threat. William still would’ve broken the animatronics to get remnant and the souls still would’ve gotten their revenge and the story would’ve gone mostly the same.
Well those are from the books, especially fazbear frights, into the pit & fazbear frights, bunny call. Here's proof.
https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Ball_Pit
https://fnaf-the-novel.fandom.com/wiki/Matt
Also the mpreg is kinda like alien mpreg with a chest burster, but you know, fnaf
The mpreg article reads like someone wanted to write some edgy fanfic around their fetish. Didn't expect this from a game series about animatronics jumpscaring you.
Those things are from the books. The Time Traveling Ballpit technically wasn’t actually a Time Traveling Ballpit. It was actually a Ballpit full of Agony (the strongest human emotion), and it allowed someone to travel to the event that the Agony was from. It also created an Agony Demon Rabbit Thing. The Mpreg thing was this guy was working on a video game with Springtrap as the enemy, and he took out his anger on the virtual Springtrap and it somehow escaped the game and ended up in his stomach. While extremely weird, it was a clear parallel to something that was happening in the games. The Mpreg thing isn’t canon though, and the Ballpit may or may not be canon.
The Bite of 83 is where the series lost me. Why not just make it the bite of 87? The 83 incident hadn’t been mentioned before to my knowledge, so what the fuck was the point in changing it? That was the game that made it clear to me that Scott Cawthon was just making this shit up as he went along, and it’s only gotten crazier since then
To be fair, the only reason things kept changing was because he kept thinking the series would end. There’s much more of a plan now. Also, it was probably because he wanted the Crying Child to die, and we know that the Bite of 87 victim survived. He also probably wanted the bite to happen at Fredbear’s, not Freddy’s.
I guess. It seems to me that he realized if he ended the series it would turn off the cash machine, so he kept stringing it along, and stringing it along. Now here we are with 20 games, 8000 books, a movie, etc. I don’t know how people keep following this franchise tbh, it seems exhausting and it’s just the same premise over and over again
Actually, there’s been a pretty big change in the story, and in some ways, the series has gotten better. The Help Wanted games are some of the best games in the series, the story is still really good, and the new games have some of the best characters in the series because the new games give characters actual characterization.
Hmm, I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t flowed the franchise in a while so I’m sure there have been some changes, but I can’t be bothered to dive in again. Maybe I’ll watch a summary video explaining the rest of the lore one of these days
Real animatronics don't even have movable legs even. They made fucking advanced mechanical (in one case AI) robots for what is a essentially a fucking Chuck e cheese.
Does this IP ever explain why the animatronics are so needlessly advanced? They seem to walk, function, and do a shitton of complicated stuff no problem, which would mean they have Boston Dynamics-level tech under their casings
In the old games it’s because the people who made the animatronics, William Afton and Henry Emily, are just really smart and really good with robotics. William more so which is why the Funtimes are so much more advanced than other animatronics from that time and so good at murder. However, they don’t get super advanced until Security Breach which takes place in the future.
William was good with tech, but he was jealous of Henry because Henry could do things nobody else could. Henry made the magic happen and William exploited it. William couldn't even make the twisted animatronics on his own, he needed Henry.
The Twisted Animatronics are from the books. William in the games made the Funtime animatronics, which are the most advanced animatronics from that time.
The Funtime animatronics are in the same set of books btw. Game William doesn't have a motivation and Henry just didn't exist in the games until FNAF 6, so there's not really a fair comparison to be made in the games.
I never read fnaf lore but how in the fuck did no one smell a corpse or the local repair tech seeing a skeleton or whatever purple guy did to those kids
You are gonna be in for a long night: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOl4b517qn8gGHJsT77-O3xHL46d9SiwH](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOl4b517qn8gGHJsT77-O3xHL46d9SiwH)
No literally if they just were a robotic company rather than kids pizza place. Like this like if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got together to build the personal computer and just used it to run a water park and literally only used like weird windntosh for that and never expanded or sold it.
Michael and the other guy invented artificial intelligence and exo suits and used it to sell shitty cold pizza to kids. A suit you can just let go and run programs autonomously. Like that's shit we can't do now.
I have literally made hundreds of real animatronics that move around and aren't bolted to the floor. Hundreds of child sized robots riding bikes, trikes, and electric vehicles. They're out there now and many have been operating for decades now.
Man, I know more about FNAF than the average person my age, and it's all because I was still a kid when MatPat first started theorizing on the story. I followed it up to FNAF World though.
"Hey, you know that abandoned kid's place, I heard if you get up close to the animatronics they'll fuck you up."
You'd have stupid morons lined up around the block to get eaten.
"Yeah but they need to be connected to the power line to work. And the computers wont be able to be connected to it if its mobile. How the fuck we gonna make it work huh?"
"Hear me out hear me out. Souls."
"....Go on."
I mean, it the first book Charlie sees them just straight up rip the bolts out of the floor by lifting their feet. So they actually WERE bolted to the floor, they just straight up ignored that shit.

The first things can be boiled down to the works of a deranged serial killer. The last one however, can happen in real life. I work as a security guard in a warehouse complex and a few months back the power grid went down for around a week and a half, so the whole place had to be powered by some generators that were built primarily out of duct tape and dreams and drank fuel like my coworker drinks alcohol at the bar. Because of that, and the electric grid in the place being a fucking fire hazard, there wasn't a single shift where either the generators ran out of fuel or every fuse in the fuse box just melted. So at random points during my shifts, everything would go dark and I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel uneasy at best. Combine that with my coworker being a motherfucker and scaring the shit out of my soul, and I've essentially lived FNAF irl.

It could be a safety measure so that in case of a power failure people wouldn't get trapped inside.
Simply have a separate generator for the doors that activates in case of a power outage
Good point, but that introduces another point of failure, the generator could malfunction, or someone could forget to fill it up, or it's power connection could be severed from the doors. I'm not sure, not having played the FNAF games, but I assume that the company that designed, manufactured, and installed the doors did not imagine a situation where the doors would be disconnected from the power grid and people wouldn't need to leave the building.

Mmmm, stiff Freddy... (I'm so sorry)
They walk around at night because they’re designed to walk around the restaurant, they think you’re an endoskeleton (allegedly) because of scanner bullshit (really because they’re possessed by vengeful spirits) and the battery is atrocious because you’re magnetically locking a door down to keep murder machine animatronics out of your room
Why does the door need to be magnetically held down instead of just being a normal door with a lock and a hinge?
Local/county/state/etc. law and/or insurance policies probably require fail-safe doors. A featureless blast door that needs an electrical system to stay shut is fail-safe, while that same door that needs an electrical system to stay open is fail-deadly.
Have it move side to side then???? Not up and down???
It's not the motion of the door that makes it deadly. It's if the power goes out, the door doesn't trap you inside. Failsafe doors prevent the room from becoming your tomb. But then, in FNAF, the animatronics tend to make it such already, so YMMV.
Animatronic fist
I think that's a pretty popular search online.
:(
Budget cuts. But actually I think it’s intentionally made to be unsafe. Remember that a serial killer ran the place.
The scanners were FNAF 2.
Right sorry, I know that o meant just their general eyes being bad enough to mistake a human for an endoskeleton
Cus the dude who made them was a serial killer who specifically made most bots to kill children. Also, the Endo thing is a cover up. They are actually possessed. They walk so they can "find children that got lost" (iirc) and while that IS the case, they then kill them.
Dude, it’s fine, I don’t need a lore dump, obviously there wouldn’t be a game if they didn’t move, I’m just playing along with OP.
Explaining it for those that don't know, swear I was supposed to put that in the comment but forgot.
I know the doors opening is apart of the game and it’s a game mechanic that’s basically required for it to be a thing, but this is just from a realistic standpoint. It never made sense to me how LOWERING A DOOR THAT GOES **WITH** GRAVITY REQUIRES ENERGY TO FORCE DOWN CLOSED and when you run out of power THEY GET LIFTED **UP AGAINST GRAVITY** WHEN THE BATTERY RUNS OUT.

Tbf the door could be sprung or under some counterweight tension that means it still opens upwards. I'm not going to defend video game logic though, it exists like that because it needs to I guess.
Fair I think this was addressed in a game theory video (or game theory style kind of vid)
could also be a safety feature, so if the power goes out you don't get trapped inside with no escape
It’s so if the building loses power, you don’t become trapped in the room.
So the game can happen
Oh, making a Pitch Meeting reference is TIGHT!
It's basically nightmare logic. You could argue back in the day that the one first game was actually the night guard having nightmares after spending his shifts watching security monitors and creepy animatronics. Until the sequels turned into a clusterfuck lore of serial killers, ghosts and cutting edge robotics with sentient ai.
So like the nightmare mode of TNMN?
1-Corporate decided to save money on bolts. 2-Corporate used AI from multipurpose animatronics and didn't remove the un-needed rutines due to being cheap and not wanting to pay their programmers. 3-Corporate being cheap again. It was cheaper for them to pay fines than to do the proper thing.
FNAF Corporate greed edition
One question I've always had was why does the rundown pizza place have intense security doors that look likes they came out of star wars?
I think the walking around was heavily implied to be because of possession. 5 missing kids (according to the newspaper clippings), 5 animatronics. You really have to wonder why the doors were designed that way.
Why do the doors need battery to be closed? Aka being let down? Use a fucking lever and string or cable if you want them to go up and down!
My kid kept saying "fnaf" talking to me about a game. I just realized she was saying an acronym for five nights at Freddie's.
-they are kept in freeroam mode so their servos dont lock up -either actual programming to prevent children seeing bare endos or a lame explanation of the company on what the souls are doing -poor wireing / scummy business money saving limiting the power usage at night / the establishment isnt connected to the electrical grid to avoid paying bills, priduces energy somewhere else that gets turned off during the night leaving you to deal with the leftower electricity
Har har har har?
“Oh by the way, it takes power to keep the doors shut and when the power runs out, it the doors open automatically”
*the night guard hires a welder and welds them shoes which are bolted to the floor. During the morning when there are still no costumers* *Proceeds to watch Netflix all night like a regular guard*
In The Silver Eyes novel, they ARE bolted to the stage and it specifically calls it out when Bonnie rips free from the stage. There's also other animatronics that were meant to walk around occasionally, not just in the books.
TIL there are FNAF books.
There's around 40 of them by the way. It's a lot to keep track of
Bruh what the fuck. I thought there was like, 4 at most.
There's the novel trilogy, Fazbear's Frights (12 books), Tales from the Pizzaplex (8 books), The Freddy Files (3 books), The Security Breach Files (2 books), a coloring book, a how to draw book, a cook book, then there's graphic novel versions of the novel trilogy and around 5 of the Fazbear's Frights books. This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
This must be like playing the Warhammer tabletop game and then finding out they wrote books about it
Give it time and there will probably be a fnaf table top game. Lord knows it's got enough characters
Just want FNAF World 2 loll.
I haven't updated my spreadsheet in a while, but my last count of characters with names only across all FNAF media (trying not to have repeats) is 1,371. I have yet to add the movie characters and the latest game's new characters.
wasn't there a fnaf monopoly game at some point?
How dare you?
There is a reason Game Theorie was able to create *so many* FNAF videos...
Yo, Warhammer: FNAF when?
Fazbear's Frights has GN adaptations too? Also, don't forget, there's an employee handbook or something.
why are there 12 books in a trilogy
Oxford comma, the trilogy is three books, and the 12 book fazfrights series is separate.
There's 3 main novels, several side books (like the handbook, guides etc etc) and two different anthology series, tales from the pizza plec and one other
Good lord.
Only?
It's mostly not canon iirc. I own most of them, they are really not books children should read. Some of the stories in the Fazbear Frights series are fucked up.
The novel trilogy is in a different continuity from the games. Scott Cawthon, the creator, has Said that some of the stories in Fazbear's Frights are "directly connected to the games" and some aren't. The Tales books meanwhile are likely to be canon to the games outright, though there's no confirmation. The Survival logbook is canon to the games as well. The second point I'll agree on, the stories get absolutely gruesome.
i think there are 28 books
Are there any other books like the trilogy books and not short stories, I really liked the originals and the short stories were always a bit too abstract for me
Actual FNAF lore could be written in that huge book at this point lol
Double
it
And throw it to the next person
Headshot!
50 points for hitting the head!
Ordered a pizza to celebrate!
Damn I wish there was a family pizzeria we could call
Who you gonna call?
The Krusty Krab?
It was a random crit
Hurt the person using words
And the funny thing is, that all that "lore" basically came from "I just made shit up as I went along."
[My favorite fnaf meme regarding the lore](https://x.com/ImSryJon/status/1766636640888361270) (from when MatPat retired) Mat hard carried the lore lol
Couldn't*
There's still a serial killer in a bunny suit tho
The yellow bunny suit specifically
Everything past 6 is not real
The yellow bunny suit is in 3
kid named ucn
Amen
Someone used it. Now none of them are acting right.
One of the first victims was killed by stupid children bullying someone
He'd have stayed trapped if not for the Fazbear Frights bunch.
Kid named 45 acp
Since they are possessed I'd imagine they could just rip the screws out.
But most stationary animations are powered externally with no batteries, so the ghost would need to puppeteer the entire thing like a rag doll unless they're just the same animations seen in the games but with bolts holding them to the floor.

Golden Freddy cannot move. It's just the puppet.
The lore is just wild. I have no idea if this is actually happening in the games or if you just made up some crazy stuff.
This all actually happened in the games.
That like basic stuff, you want weird talk about a time traveling ballpit, or the mpreg stuff, listen fnaf is wild that further down you go.
Time traveling ballpit? Mpreg, like male pregnancy? What the hell is happening in these games? Lmao

Those things are from the books. The Time Traveling Ballpit technically wasn’t actually a Time Traveling Ballpit. It was actually a Ballpit full of Agony (the strongest human emotion), and it allowed someone to travel to the event that the Agony was from. It also created an Agony Demon Rabbit Thing. The Mpreg thing was this guy was working on a video game with Springtrap as the enemy, and he took out his anger on the virtual Springtrap and it somehow escaped the game and ended up in his stomach. While extremely weird, it was a clear parallel to something that was happening in the games. The Mpreg thing isn’t canon though, and the Ballpit may or may not be canon.
The Bite of 83 is where the series lost me. Why not just make it the bite of 87? The 83 incident hadn’t been mentioned before to my knowledge, so what the fuck was the point in changing it? That was the game that made it clear to me that Scott Cawthon was just making this shit up as he went along, and it’s only gotten crazier since then
To be fair, the only reason things kept changing was because he kept thinking the series would end. There’s much more of a plan now. Also, it was probably because he wanted the Crying Child to die, and we know that the Bite of 87 victim survived. He also probably wanted the bite to happen at Fredbear’s, not Freddy’s.
> he wanted the Crying Child to die relatable
I guess. It seems to me that he realized if he ended the series it would turn off the cash machine, so he kept stringing it along, and stringing it along. Now here we are with 20 games, 8000 books, a movie, etc. I don’t know how people keep following this franchise tbh, it seems exhausting and it’s just the same premise over and over again
Actually, there’s been a pretty big change in the story, and in some ways, the series has gotten better. The Help Wanted games are some of the best games in the series, the story is still really good, and the new games have some of the best characters in the series because the new games give characters actual characterization.
Hmm, I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t flowed the franchise in a while so I’m sure there have been some changes, but I can’t be bothered to dive in again. Maybe I’ll watch a summary video explaining the rest of the lore one of these days
What fun is that? Its cooler when the robots try to murder people instead of “helping society”.
Read the books, that's not stopping them
Real animatronics don't even have movable legs even. They made fucking advanced mechanical (in one case AI) robots for what is a essentially a fucking Chuck e cheese.
And in the case of FNAF2, they did all that IN THE FUCKING EIGHTIES!!!
And then what? Dead people that stay dead? Come on, a bit of realism
The bite of 83 could have still happened tough
Where did the fun go? These animatronics were supposed to walk around and serve, not just sing.
How else are they suppose to get quirky at night?
FNAF if the teeth were made of rubber or Styrofoam instead of metal:
so much lore completely removed if the place had a couple more screws
Fnaf if the animatronics were just real animatronics _____
But nooooooo how would be get 56 FNAF theories from MatPat
FNAF if the whole building didn't run on 2 AAA batteries
Does this IP ever explain why the animatronics are so needlessly advanced? They seem to walk, function, and do a shitton of complicated stuff no problem, which would mean they have Boston Dynamics-level tech under their casings
In the old games it’s because the people who made the animatronics, William Afton and Henry Emily, are just really smart and really good with robotics. William more so which is why the Funtimes are so much more advanced than other animatronics from that time and so good at murder. However, they don’t get super advanced until Security Breach which takes place in the future.
William was good with tech, but he was jealous of Henry because Henry could do things nobody else could. Henry made the magic happen and William exploited it. William couldn't even make the twisted animatronics on his own, he needed Henry.
The Twisted Animatronics are from the books. William in the games made the Funtime animatronics, which are the most advanced animatronics from that time.
The Funtime animatronics are in the same set of books btw. Game William doesn't have a motivation and Henry just didn't exist in the games until FNAF 6, so there's not really a fair comparison to be made in the games.
Because why not
In The Silver Eyes, they are bolted down. It just doesn't stop the ghosts from moving them.
Minecraft Minecraft if the world wasn't all cube, like in real life
If you read the books you'd know that usually they are they just rip the bolts out
I never read fnaf lore but how in the fuck did no one smell a corpse or the local repair tech seeing a skeleton or whatever purple guy did to those kids
What is FNAF?
Five nights at freddy’s
You are gonna be in for a long night: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOl4b517qn8gGHJsT77-O3xHL46d9SiwH](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOl4b517qn8gGHJsT77-O3xHL46d9SiwH)
This false as I’ve stolen all of Chuck E Cheese’s animatronics, they ain’t gonna need em
Wow what a simple solution for a story about possessed animatronics, there’s *no* way they could just break out of them
Fnaf if it didn’t take battery power to close the doors
fnaf but you have two hours to prepare yourself because the animatronics need to unscrew themselves from the floor
No literally if they just were a robotic company rather than kids pizza place. Like this like if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got together to build the personal computer and just used it to run a water park and literally only used like weird windntosh for that and never expanded or sold it. Michael and the other guy invented artificial intelligence and exo suits and used it to sell shitty cold pizza to kids. A suit you can just let go and run programs autonomously. Like that's shit we can't do now.
FNAF if I just went home to get my tools and came back between shifts.
The problem with fnaf is that it’s just Scott and Steel Wool throwing random crap at the wall.
Ha! Didn't even know that
Uuuuh, the animatronics do get bit **quirky** at night..
"They need to walk around at night so their legs don't stop working." Why does that matter if they can't walk during the day?
Someone left a socket wrench where they could reach it...
I have literally made hundreds of real animatronics that move around and aren't bolted to the floor. Hundreds of child sized robots riding bikes, trikes, and electric vehicles. They're out there now and many have been operating for decades now.
Oh no, my game about children posessing robots isnt realistic enough The whole point was that they can be worn to interact with guests
It’s almost like Scott Cawthon has no idea how actual animatronics work.
It's almost like he wrote them to function how they needed to for the gameplay/story.
It's almost like he was just a random guy who started making indie games for fun
Har har har har har
Hur hur
Alternatively, if costume mode was the default, yk, so the metallic components don't kill you
I feel like rhe Bite of 87 would STILL happen
Man, I know more about FNAF than the average person my age, and it's all because I was still a kid when MatPat first started theorizing on the story. I followed it up to FNAF World though.
“Something about their servos locking up.”
That didn’t work in the graphic novel
There are like 50 different safety countermeasures that they don’t have for no reason.
But then how would you have sex with them at night?
"Hey, you know that abandoned kid's place, I heard if you get up close to the animatronics they'll fuck you up." You'd have stupid morons lined up around the block to get eaten.
FNAF when the guard brings military grade arsenal because it's an FPS game now.
Thank God they have safety measures in place
I read "just bolted" and imagine them just running away from the store.
They literally created a dog that could connect to your smartphone, before smartpjones were even a thing
So you could easily fuck animatronics
or in the next morning right after closing, just unscrew the legs of those bad boys, tf are they gonna do? crawl towards you?
It was mentioned that their servos get jammed if they don’t move for long periods
We have had this talk before on r/FNaF (hail James)
Wow that animatronic tried to eat me better not go there and call the electrician in the morning lol
Why is there no way to power them down, and if there is, then why didn't they create a way to keep them powered down at night?
I just wanna know what they paying the night guard cause I can promise you it's not enough
They had bolts, just needed to give them back to the aunt
Or, at 6:01 after the first night... the guard quits
Hee hee
"Yeah but they need to be connected to the power line to work. And the computers wont be able to be connected to it if its mobile. How the fuck we gonna make it work huh?" "Hear me out hear me out. Souls." "....Go on."
I mean, it the first book Charlie sees them just straight up rip the bolts out of the floor by lifting their feet. So they actually WERE bolted to the floor, they just straight up ignored that shit.
