    Correction: The Puppet in FNAS2 who is officially called the Luiginette (I mean it makes sense Marionette litterally has Mario as the first 5 letters of the word) was actually made as a memorial to Luigi following his "death" in FNAS 1 that's right, he survived by iirc hiding under the desk causing him to accidentally fake his death

    I will never fully trash games like these, because of how they were made. These games are very clearly small projects made by kids and I think that's pretty neat. The fact that someone young was able to get a game up and functioning is honestly impressive. People can underestimate just how much work it takes to make a game that actually functions. Plus, it's also important to encourage kids to embrace their creativity and try and make something, rather than just put them down. I hope the devs get to work on bigger and better things in the future.

    Man, FNaS is one of those fangames that I remember only because during middle school, I had a friend who was really into Sonic, and during the Fnaf boom of the mid 2010's. He drew the FNaS characters and cut them out to play with me during snack, lunch and whenever the teachers gave us free time to play. Ah, the memories I have of him and I playing with cardboard/paper characters that we drew and cut out with all the wacky stuff we did and made up about them. Ahhh, fun memories. Anyways, good video on the topic! Would be cool to see you talk about other old Fnaf fan games that were popular at the time, like as someone suggested, five nights at Wario's.

    I had NO idea this particular fangame series got so extensive! You're right about the FNaF fandom I think, I remember watching a let's play or two of the first game and never played them or really any canon FNaF game either. The premise is silly and the art is maybe wonky sometimes, but as a 13-year-old kid who just got into creepypastas? It was genuinely a great watch to just have some mindless fun and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It makes me happy to hear the team is doing well and has improved so much.

    Some viruses can inject themselves into executable files (especially installer .exe's) in order to spread, so it could be that either the original dev or the person who sent it to you was unknowingly infected with some kind of worm virus that infected the game/it's installer. It may also be a false positive, that happens a lot with fan games. The only way to tell would be to use something like VirusTotal to scan it with many different antiviruses and see how many of them see a virus.

    It would be sick to see a video on the Five Nights at Wario's series of fangames. They need so much more recognition than what they've got now, using incredibly interesting and unique mechanics that I don't think I've seen anywhere in other fangames. One of such mechanics is a sort of quest that takes you between each game to complete tasks in each other. Data carries over between games, and it's incredibly cool. It's incredibly underrated and has created a community that has made multiple well-made fangames such as FNAW: Trapped Within (I helped work on this one!) and a few others. FNAW as a whole needs a lot more attention. I will note that there are two versions of the games - updated, newer versions of the original games, and the originals. The newer versions add new modes and mechanics to the original game, so consider it just the original with a few added features. These new versions are needed for any cross-game stuff.

    Ya know, it’s funny. I was gonna make a video on all the FNaS games earlier in the year, but ended up scrapping it because I lost interest in the project. Glad someone with far more credentials and editing skill than me was able to get on out though! Fun little fact I learned though, I actually asked TheCyVap himself some questions for extra info on the series, and the famous inside joke that started it all was a comic he made of the Fnaf 1 characters hiding in the Fnaf 1 office from Sonic.exe, which feels perfectly in line with the tone and vibe of the series.

      i'm a bit late to replying but the reason everyone looks at it that way is because it's the only game in the ENTIRE series that was made official to feature stolen and uncredited assets, mixed with a horrendous art style that looks like scribbles even more than the ORIGINAL games in the series. the game also didn't follow the lore in the slightest, to the point where character names were completely wrong too. idk how it was ever made official.

    It's actually kinda poetic that FNAS3 was the entry where the game design became competent and not a ripoff of previous FNAF entries, considering that's also the entry where professional talent ended up getting involved with the game. The Phone Guy in that game (who is actually supposed to be Silver the Hedgehog) was voiced by a FNAF Fangame youtuber by the name of TheGameSalmon, and he would later go on to also voice Nightmare Sonic in Five Nights at Sonic's 4 and Maniac Mania, as well as Shadow Sonic in the latter entry.

      Quite indeed. Even thought Sonic's 1 & 2 are kinda meh, they learned from those games and went on to make Sonic's 3; 4 & 5, which are quite honestly actually good games. Like seriously, I'm ready to say that FNaS 3 is better than the original, FNaS 4 is similar to FNaF 4, but it's got it's own mix of gameplay & mechanics. FNaS 5, the most unique of the bunch and my personal favorite, while being kinda boring the first 4 nights, still captivated me thanks to the lore and gameplay it has been able to give. Like seriously, you even get a Hardmode with different designs for most of the cast after beating the 1st chapter

    I actually found this series through him commenting on an old piece of art I had made of my own Five Nights at Sonic's idea, and I was a fan of the series ever since.
    It's really nice to see someone talk about this series in a retrospect, and it's a treat watching the art evolve over the years. (Especially comparing it to CyVap's art nowadays, like seriously, it looks pretty damn good now!)

    I do remember playing FNaS World before it was deleted, and it is certainly a fever dream. I can't say much on it as the computer I played it on is now far long gone, but the game itself was very distinctive from FNaF World due to how hidden and weird the endings were.
    I don't think it served any lore relevance, but FNaS World is definitely the Pandora's Box of the FNaS series.

    4 the popgoes series
    5 the joy of creation series
    its kinda sad that the series ended on a spin off game, these game had so much pontential, and it was the first fnaf fangame i ever played, i dowloaded fnas world and played it a little bit for a month or so, it didnt have a story mode so i got bored of it, but then when fnas maniac mania was anounced, i was hooked, i dowloaded the demo the DAY it came out and i loved it, then when the full game cameout i also dowloaded it the DAY it came out and i loved it even more, i watched walkthroughs, lore videos and more, i miss these series and maybe one day the devs will release a new game, who knows after all, maybe these series will make a comeback.....
    edit: in fnas 3 there is salvage golden sonic wich is a secound salvage sonic wich adds more fun and makes the game more challenging,

    God I was there since the very beginning
    I loved Mario and Sonic as a kid and i was too scared to play fnaf so i just played this instead
    After some time i forgot about this series (i think a little bit after the 4 game)
    So seeing this again after so long brought so many nice memories
