the FINALE development
Soup
So I decided that I would write down the development of FINALE down because idk maybe it might be an interesting tale for someone who is as chud as me.
Let’s go back to June, I decided to unlist all Diggidy’s games and make them Be lost media. I did not think of the idea of finale for a while, it took me atleast up to I believe August to start development on this game or September one of those two months. But the idea arrived in August if I’m not being dumb
It came to me after sitting for a while and thinking. I thought that me finally being over it would make me stop thinking about the dog but I somehow couldn’t. I thought about my friends opinions as much as that pains me to say. I wondered if they agreed with my opinions or if I was in the wrong, something I kept coming back to was something glitchy/jayfolder/jaywalked whatever the fuck his name is nowadays said to me, The conversation me and him had was maybe not the best since in his view I believe he saw me as some pretentious artist which now that I look back on it I don’t like the fact I called myself an artist, I am not that I just make stuff. But the conversation really made me think about how much I falsely portray myself, he thought the reason why I unlisted diggidys was because I didn’t like that I did cringe stuff as a kid and didn’t like people joking about my old games but that wasn’t the reason. And that kind of made me mad
I didn’t like that this is how people were seeing me as I wanted to somehow correct the record so I started development on finale out of anger that people were not understanding what I was putting down, they saw me as an individual that planned a suicide because it was artsy not because it had something to say about… whatever it was about I can’t recall right now. But I was angry so I started development on finale and just wanted it to be a simple bad fnaf fangame.
It was meant to try and prove that people do not know me as an individual that they are all wrong. I was angry and mad but then I started to work on the game and I made a camera render with pieman in it. And for some reason my hatred was gone
I was enjoying working on this game thinking about new mechanics Talking with friends about ideas it was it was actually fun. I added Easter eggs my friends would get I added in silly stuff it was so much fun the development of this game. I couldn’t oh I couldn’t make this game have hatred in it, the characters in the game did not allow me to hate it. Viryl was kind of when I was writing him that little voice in your head that told you that you can do anything, Everytime I would write his dialogue it made me pause for a bit and think about what I was writing. This game was so impossible to hate.
And it made me regret all that I said in that quitting post, maybe not the suicide part but most of the text there probably needed to be revised and some information maybe should not have been told because it kind of like always portrayed me in the wrong way, an example of this was that part with the family member. People thought that was the reason I wanted to do the live stream suicide but that wasn’t, plus a few weeks after the post that family member told me that they wished I had committed suicide. Like I thought about doing that in 2024 but therapy prevented that and they were supportive in that small era but eh now this is probably going to falsely portray me
Finale development was going well and it really brought me back to 2022 when I released fnad 1. you know I actually wanted to add Harold into the game as a boss fight but I didn’t think I should do that since it wouldn’t have been the most original thing to do. But development was going so well and I gave so many betas to my friends who tested the game (sorry for the 14 builds I sent) and they liked some stuff and I needed to fix some stuff but wow it was just so positive and to be honest I actually cried while making the credits and Viryl’s dialogue because I I just don’t know it just made me sad.
All of this just made me realize that maybe my hatred was misplaced I was too angry at nothing. I don’t really know why I was so angry at the franchise and still can’t say why I did that goodbye post. I think it was just a explosion caused by the fact people kept saying it was good when it wasn’t like that unabomber edit those comments I used in the video wasn’t because I was mad people said it was bad no I was celebrating those people because they were saying the truth in my eyes.
Monde Canon was going to be a failure because I also wanted to develop it with hate in mind. But with Finale, it succeeded because I could not hate it
Maybe this post doesn’t really talk about development as I intended but Yknow I’m not done with the game yet I’m planning a major update but won’t spoil it to you commoners!!!! /J
But I hope you enjoy finale and maybe it helps you in whatever way it can, it probably won’t but hey never say never.
My closing words are that the quitting post should be ignored and its twin post should also be ignored. And maybe the live suicide idea was bad
