It kind of amazes me how in every version, Monty manages to be the most broken yet functional animatronic

believe it or not, the ending cutscenes are accurate to what storyboarding is like for pretty much everything. as long as your drawing sequences successfully convey what you want, they shouldn't have to be anything fancy since they're not final and no one really gets to see them. which can lead to some really funny drawings, lmao

Knowing Giga Monty might've been intended to be real hurts my soul. In the full release, the developers banished him to his perch at the spotlight, but he refuses to stay put without a fight against the game engine itself.

Security Breach's biggest success is finally giving us an explanation why any kid would even go to these restaurants.
Freddy is a sweetheart.

I think I prefer Sun being glossy. It makes him look more frightening, as he reminds me of one of those freaky sun wall things. It would be neat if he was around and got rusty

i could say something about how roxy's upgrade initially giving freddy purple eyes to match chica and monty's changes implies that the purple is meant to symbolize gregory "corrupting" freddy by gradually making him more purple—the color associated with afton and therefore Evil—as his innocence and morals are eroded away, but instead i will merely point at him and wheeze for several minutes because he looks like he ate too many fazbrownies

I like the way the "light test" button makes the pizzaplex look. It actually makes us feel like we are trapped in the place at night.

god the light test actually makes the game look like a horror, they should've just kept that in the final version tbh

A lot of this stuff is awesome. Imagine no elevators, just being able to walk around. It would be so cool and it would make the pizzaplex feel more like a singular environment instead of disconnected areas.

vanny running legitimately puts the fear of god into me like nothing else in this entire franchise

Fun fact, the "unfinished version" of Security Breach is actually fully purchasable on all systems for $40!

Just the fact that in some builds the elevators are replaced with hallways shows how ambitious the devs wanted to be with this game, everything in one continuous area. There's something so fascinating about the ascetic of being locked in this mall after hours that's just interesting to look at.

Freddy's being high eyes actually make sense when you consider the voice line that plays in release where he can see everything and whatnot so it's kind of like he's figuring out how the new eyes work.

Things like this remind me how fucked up this industry can be sometimes.
They were likely coerced to drop that first teaser trailer way sooner than they should have, and from that moment on the game they wanted to make was doomed. As soon as that trailer got released, they had not only the fans, but the executives with dollar signs in their eyes, breathing down their necks with two very tough expectations to meet; fans want the game to be this amazing perfect product, and higher-ups want the game out as soon as possible so it can start turning a profit. Those clashing forces effectively force the studio to cut content to ensure the ship doesn't sink on it's way to shore.
There's a timeline out there where Steel Wool didn't begin marketing for this game until they'd finished primary development, and were merely spending the last few months patching bugs while marketing took place. Oh to live in that timeline...

Frankly though, I'm still miffed that Vanny turned out to be such a shit character. The first human villain in these game who isn't dead or stuck inside a robot (or both), and they blew it.

It’s genuinely so disappointing how much content couldn’t be used. The gift jumpscares are so cool…

Love that the storyboards didn’t use an eraser, but actually just uses white paint

Honestly, I like Purple Eyed Freddy. It gives more feeling to it, like you know you did something wrong. Freddy now has one of his friend's eyes, and they are piercing.  

They're Freddy's eyes now, but it always feels like they're looking at specifically YOU.






It's a lot better than "heheheh new eyes gold"

Unironically, having Vanny TPose through a wall as she chases the player is scarier than her normal animation

35:10 - I love Freddy keeps switching from looking directly at the screen to looking directly at chat

vanny sliding menacingly towards gregory is such a funny image
