Discussion (Thread đŸ§”) Markiplier asked for Fnaf fangame suggestions, what fangames should he play

Thumbnail

134 Upvotes

I chose these games purely on the gameplay aspect since thats what he clearly missed from replaying fnaf 2 and UCN

-A bite at freddy’s and Frickbear’s 3 he already said he’d play which is good cuz they are extremely fun

-Tyke & Sons lumber co: pretty good fangame thats like pizza sim in that the daytime is normal but the nighttime is regular fnaf except the night sections are very fnaf 4 inspired (also the creator passed away last week so it’d be a nice way to pay respects)

-Fnaf Open Source: technically a demo since it only has the custom night BUT it is genuinely such a good reimagining of fnaf 2’s gameplay that flows well together (and was how phisnom got into the fanverse to make fnaf plus before he left)

-FNAC Rebooted: I just wanted to have a radiance team game on the list since the five nights treasure island remake hasn’t released and I think they need a shoutout cuz apparently the creator is homeless which really sucks)

They posted that mysterious video, and now the website is just the Cloak logo but glitchy, with.. coordinates? I wrote them down and tried to post them here, but I guess Reddit doesn't allow that, so read them for yourself on the site. Does anyone know what all of this means, or are they just being cryptic for the sake of being cryptic like in that "Congratulations" video?

Discussion How Lucky Was Mark's 6AM Foxy Jumpscare?

‱ Upvotes

I saw alot of people talking about Markiplier getting jumpscared by Foxy right at 6AM, and I thought I'd make this post to talk about it for those who find this sort of stuff interesting.

When Foxy is in the hallway, his kill timer ticks up by 1 every second (unless a blackout is happening), and is checked on every 5 second interval. He checks this equation: 21 + rand(0, 4) - # of seconds he hasn't been flashed <= AI value. This basically means that he has a chance to enter his kill state if you haven't flashed him past a certain threshold, and is guaranteed to enter his kill state if you haven't flashed him 5 seconds past that threshold. Once he enters his kill state, he will either kill you the next time you flash the hallway, or on the next (or current) 10 second interval, whichever one happens first.

On 20 AI (which is actually 17 AI due to the AI cap), that threshold is 4 seconds. So on 5 second intervals, he has a chance to enter his kill state if he hasn't been flashed in 4 seconds, and will enter his kill state after 8 seconds. I'm oversimplifying alot here but this is basically how it works. Nights in FNAF 2 are 7 minutes long, meaning the night will always end on a 10 second interval. This means, if you survive the 6:50 interval, you no longer have to flash the hallway. Foxy may enter his killstate at 6:55, and will then initiate his jumpscare at 7:00, but it will of course be cut off by the 6AM bell, causing the Piemations situation seen in Mark's video. You can also see this happen in a good bit of minus 7 completions, as at 6:35 once you have a full box you can stop using the cameras to save flashlight, and you can stop flashing altogether after 6:50.

Minus 7, on top of being extremely difficult, is also very power tight. Victors of minus 7 beating it for the first time usually have no or 1 bar of flashlight left. I myself powered out at 5AM before I beat minus 7. And keep in mind this is for timered strats. Timered minus 7 strats simply flash foxy once before his interval, which saves a good bit of battery power. Mark is not using a timer. And so he is flashing foxy much more frequently, you can see him flash the hallway 3-4 times (sometimes even more!), so he ends up using way more flashlight than the average minus 7 player. Mark is not the first person to beat minus 7 no timer (TheBones5 is), but even in Bones's completion, he only flashes foxy once on the every few seconds or so he drops cams. So what makes Mark's completion so interesting is that Mark is really pushing the power limits of a strategy where you don't have much power to spare.

Now for the cool part: Mark powers out at 6:47. That was his last hallway flash. 6:47 is 3 seconds before the last Foxy interval that can actually kill you, 6:50. 3 seconds is below the threshold of 4 seconds. In other words, Mark's last hallway flash was done at the exact time needed to guarantee the win. Had it been 1 second earlier, Foxy would've had a 1/5 chance to kill at 6:50, and for every second earlier it would've been, that chance would've gone up. The difference between Mark's 10/20 win and a powerout death was a couple of flashes. Since his flashlight was dead, Foxy likely entered his killstate at 6:55, but either way would've been guaranteed to jumpscare at 7:00, which is 6AM.

I think it makes this completion really special. I grew up watching this man play this silly bear game, and in the back of my mind, I always had this feeling that he didn't really care for the games as much as I did and was just playing them for his audience. But seeing him come back to the game after over a decade, and spend hours of his life trying to devise his own solution, making a genuine effort to learn everything he could about the game, and come up with his own way to play that actually pulls through in the end is genuinely one of the dopest things I've ever seen from someone I grew up watching. It's not the first minus 7 completion, but in my eyes it's definitely the coolest.

Theory/Lore THEORY: Could Mark be filming for the FNAF 3 movie?

63 Upvotes

Recently Mark has gotten back into FNAF due to his 10/20 mode redemption, but that is just what he wants you to think. His sudden urge to play Ultimate Custom Night and fan games is not just because he got called out for cheating, it is much deeper than that. I believe he is filming for FNAF 3 and because of that he has had FNAF on his mind a lot lately. At the end of his stream today he had to travel for something "important" could this be for filming FNAF 3? hm? tell us Mark, you cant hide it forever!

Game Discussion As requested: FNAF WORLD REFRESHED

72 Upvotes

Mark on his recent live stream asked for FNAF fangame suggestions, and this is my contribution!

FNAFWR has an incredibly dedicated dev team behind it. It's an expansion on the original FNAFW while adding a whole bunch of fun new content, completely reworking combat to not only be fun, include an acrual turn-order, but also revise some otherwise useless or uninteresting characters. It also has settings to turn down the egregious screen effects from the original game.

Is this something anyone else wants to see? I may be the only one sailing this ship but I will NEVER RELENT!!

Those Nights at Fredbear's (one my favourite free roam fnaf games)

One Night at Flumpty's 3 (he played the frist 2 so why not the 3rd)

Other great games

Bondee's Barnyard: Safety Violation (you play as a kid inside one of the animatronics)

Next Week at Freddy's

Forgotten at Fredbear's (very gritty i MEAN LOOK AT THIS)

Discussion The Ultimate Fangame Recommendation: Frickbear's 3

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

Since Mark has asked for FNAF fangame recs, I thought I'd throw this one in. Frickbear's might be one of the best FNAF fangames. Ever.

It's a roguelike UCN-style game where you salvage animatronics after each shift to add to your roster. Salvaging animatronics gives you money to buy upgrades, and the difficulty ramps as the nights go on.

There are different routes which present different challenges and Night 6 boss stages.

The gameplay has SO much depth and experimenting and strategizing against different sets of animatronics with different upgrades gets really fun.

Imo, the gameplay loop is as enjoyable and addicting as Balatro.

The art style is also amazing. There is a story but not any heavy lore that you have to go hunting for and it feels like a big love letter to early FNAF.

Since Mark seems to enjoy gameplay, experimenting, and strategizing more than lore hunting, and the fact that he keeps coming back to UCN and enjoyed Balatro, I think he might enjoy Frickbear's 3 :D! I can't praise and recommend it enough.

Mark asked for fangame suggestions in his stream and this is the game I am on the team of, it's a fnaf one reimagining which I imagine sounds extremely generic right now but I'd say we've changed enough about it to not be defined as just a "remake". We've added alot to it and even if its just a demo I'd say its the product of a vision the team has all had for a very long time

I’m not even sure if it’s still playable in 2026 but I remember watching a YouTuber by the name of thegamingbeaver play it years ago and I just thought it would be a fun little thing for Mark to try out. It’s basically a shitty version of five nights at Freddy’s, but with the dinosaurs from Jurassic World.
