FNIA AH «After Hours» Wollu (2024)

Story Creation[]

Five Nights in Anime: After Hours is based on a fan game by Mairusu

The game's page on Game Joit was officially launched on June 8, 2019

And development began in full in February-March 2021

After the departure of SC136, his former comrade, with the nickname Alphadev in January 2021 arranged a casting call for a new artist, while the name of the project would be changed. After 2 days, Wollu appeared in the comments with his unfinished drawing. From all the candidates at that time he was chosen the best and a day later Alphadev wrote Wollu the decision to accept him for the role of chief artist in Discord server.

Part description[]

This game has been canceled several times due to the departure of the first artist (SC136) or the lack of motivation of the original developer (AlphaDev), but we won't give up so easily! Now the development of this game is going to be taken up again (once again) and completely redesigned.

However, the original developer AlphaDev will no longer be working on the game, I have his permission to continue working on the game."

But Wollu also called another artist with the nickname Sergey Lewandowski (now Kyoufu) in January 2020, a few days later Wollu was accepted, and he in turn pulled the others. Already in February they started to do it all

Thus began the development of the FNIA Remastered remake with the new name FNIA After Hours, which has the status of a "cursed project" in the Five Night in Anime fandom.

Within 2-3 weeks, the first looks of the characters were created. They were: Bonnie, Freddy, G. Freddy and Sprini. The audience reaction was positive and the fanbase only grew. But later, close to the beginning of March 2021, a conflict arose between Alphadev and Wollu, as a result of which Alphadev left the development and the project was completely handed over to Wollu and Sergey Lewandowski (his nickname is now Kyoufu). After this first incident the search for new team members started. The search was quite long, but in the end the team came people with the nicknames FoxyGamer1980 (who was a programmer) and DJLC (P.s - who was the first sound engineer and composer and who wrote the main theme of the first main theme, but at the end he was still removed from the team). A half-abandoned night strip club was chosen as the game location. Wollu worked on the characters and rooms, and Sergey Lewandowski (Kyoufu) was the concept artist and was also Wollu's right hand man. Development lasted until May 2021, and by then the game had already gained a lot of fans, just like Wollu himself. But it was in May that the first FNIA AH (After Hours) was canceled, due to the amount of hate and threats against Wollu.

After May, in June, the development of FNIA AH began again in secret, but in a much new form. The characters became more pleasing to the eye and their features became very large and lush body shapes

The team increased, Wheatly and Explodingpartyhats came as a couple of assistants, and this team worked until the release of the first and only demo version of FNIA AH. There were some frustrating moments as well, as there was still a lot of heath towards Wollu plus also a personal "CyberStalker". In addition, the game was again canceled 2 times and resurrected again. But despite all the difficulties, the demo was released during the winter in Dec 2021 - Jan 2022. After that, a slight progression towards new nights started. New characters appeared, but after a few weeks the game was canceled again, due to personal problems with Wollu.

This went on for several months (although secretly Wollu was refining his style and starting work on a brand new FNIA AH). In August 2022, the development of the new FNIA AH demo began. The character designs changed a lot, they became more elaborate in terms of design, but the same feature remained: very large and very lush character shapes. And this time around, the team changed a lot. For all these months, for some unknown reason, Wollu "fired" DJLC and now, besides characters and animation, Wollu became responsible for music too. Backgrounds were decided to be made in 3D, but sometimes with 2D textures overlaid on them. BasicallyHats (formerly with the nickname Zems) was responsible for 3D, and Anger became the mechanics planner. Explodingpartyhats left the team earlier, as well as BasicallyHats. And Sergey Lewandowski changed his nickname to Kyoufu shortly before (at least only in Discord, on YouTube his nickname remained the same). The new demo was planned to include 2 nights instead of one. The location became bigger, several new rooms were added. Three new characters were also planned to be added.

The development was more or less going well, but Wollu almost canceled it again once. But in November 2022, Kyoufu and Wollu had a conflict for personal reasons, and Kyoufu was kicked out of the team as a result

Nevertheless, development continued, but now it was going even harder. As Wollu wrote in his Twitter posts, most of the team members, including him, were tired of development, and as a result, without ever releasing a demo, FNIA After Hours finally died in the summer of 2023.

Synopsis: During the development of the new FNIA AH, Wollu had accounts set up on Ko-fi and Patreon, where he posted content from the game. Despite the support, the game died, Wollu's promises were broken by himself, and no compensation was returned to fans. Because of this, rumors started to circulate that all that support was just for Wollu's financial gain, and the discontent towards Wollu grew by leaps and bounds. And because of the many conflicts and strife within the fandom, Wollu has acquired a status in the fandom of not the most good person

Unreleased content[]

"Women's Crying"[]

This idea was suggested by Kyoufu. For the story was planned back in the first demo. At that time it was really like a passphrase, for in that room in the future there were supposed to be G.Freddy, Sprini and Lolbit, generally speaking, old models. And they were not all that easy to deal with. The room was supposed to occasionally play a woman's cry. Originally, the developers wanted it to come from one of the girls. But then this idea abruptly ceased to exist along with the further development of the first demo, and was left as such an unfinished part(there will be a Fail of feminine lamentation)
