IS THAT OVER THE HEDGE? ONE OF THE BEST DREAMWORKS MOVIES OF ALL TIME?!?
I recently saw a video about a potential FNAF 1 remake and while I still recommend checking it out,
There are many things I dislike about this version so I decided to pitch my own. FYI this would be part of a collection remastering the first 8 games (including FNAF World), called 31 nights at Freddy’s (5 each for 1-6, and 1 extra for UCN). If you want me to talk about my pitches for the other games in the collection let me know, but let's begin with the game that started it all.
GENERAL
Now usually remasters come in 3 different versions, true remasters which only update the graphics and keep the core game the exact same, reimaginings which overhaul the gameplay but still keep the same basic story and then we have a remake which is somewhere in the middle, remakes which keep the core gameplay, level design, and story but add something new like levels, story elements or even a whole new game added in. This will be the style I’m going for with all the remakes and if I do the same for the sequels I will clarify if they will be reimaginings. OH and I almost forgot after each night the player will receive 1/5th of The Week Before as a reward for completing the night.
LORE
I want the lore to be as close to the original as possible but with some of the new information we have now, so the newspapers will be a bit more descriptive. As well as a few easter eggs like pieces of the Toy animatronics in the parts and service room and the newspaper at the beginning mentioning that reporter Bronwen Light and Freddy’s manager Ralph have been missing for a whole week. Here are some of the changes I can see being made to the randomly appearing articles,
Kids vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found.
Five local children were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the night of June 26th. While video surveillance identified the man responsible; Fazbear Entertainment’s Co Founder, William Afton and led to his capture the following morning, the children themselves were never found and are presumed dead.
Police think that the suspect dressed as a mascot to earn the children's trust.
Five children are now confirmed missing.
Five children are now confirmed to be linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where a man dressed as an old cartoon mascot lured them into a back room.
While the suspect, William Afton is set for trial, the bodies themselves were never found.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to convince families to return to the pizzeria.
"It's a tragedy."
Local pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation.
Local pizzeria, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been threatened again with shutdown by the health department over reports of foul odor coming from the much-loved animal mascots.
Police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to be blood and mucus around the joints of mascots. One parent likened them to "reanimated carcasses".
Local pizzeria said to close by year's end.
After a long trial, Fazbear Entertainment Co Founder William Afton was declared innocent due to lack of evidence, after the news Freddy Fazbear's Pizza announced that it will close by year's end.
Despite a year-long search for a buyer, companies seem unwilling to be associated with the company.

VISUALS
Now obviously the remaster improves the quality of the visuals which is the most obvious change, so the textures, images on the camera’s, jumpscares, easter eggs, and office will be recreated as faithfully as possible including the lighting, focusing, and the uncanny style. The models will be similar to the movie costumes like Bonnie being blue and having a guitar strap as well as a few touch ups like Foxy’s jaw being loose and Golden Freddy having really old and faint traces of blood on the jaw and noticeably newer but still faint blood stains near the joints (almost as if these came sometime AFTER the bloody incident with the jaw.) The map will also be updated to include some new rooms like the safe room (which you can only BARELY see on the map of the building and can’t see on camera but if you go out of bounds you can see it, fully modeled, textured and everything), as well as an arcade, manager’s office, prize counter, and a room for the ball pit. The game will also be FULLY animated with the animatronic visibly walking to places and it will also place you into an actual 3d model of the pizzeria like in Help Wanted, cut content from the first trailer of the original game will be added as random events like Bonnie removing his mask, (oh and speaking of Bonnie, in the settings menu you will be able to switch Bonnie’s color from blue to purple, just for people who want a more classic experience). Also, the jumpscares will feature a new section before the actual jumpscare of the animatronic entering the office and grabbing you (only if the camera is down though so if it was up you get instantly jumpscared). And speaking of jumpscares, I would like to add an extra jumpscare to Golden Freddy being his floating head from FNAF 2, both jumpscare have a 50% chance of playing too so you can get both easily if you actually GET jumpscared by him. Oh and since there is nowhere else to put this let’s have a certain marionette’s box be seen at the prize counter which has a chance to be seen open anytime in the night. The Puppet will NOT be hostile here just chilling near the prize counter, he will actually be helpful, as him being out gives you a higher chance of getting ..
MINIGAMES
Yep I am adding death/end of night 2D minigames like FNAF 2, after you finish a night or die you have a 10% chance of getting a minigame and if the Puppet is out that increases to a 20% chance. These minigames will be fully voice acted and will be impossible to lose (you will see why) and will happen in a specific order and can be replayed in an extra’s menu after completion. The first minigame will have you start in a mostly empty room, the only things in it being 4 cabinets, a giant white box, arcade machines, a broken Yellow Bear suit with a VERY TINY light in one of its eyes and a slightly withered Yellow Rabbit suit. Your player character is a purple man, you are instructed to get in the suit.
After you do so, you walk out of the room into a room filled with kids. A nearby clock and calendar reveal the time and date, it’s June 26th, 1985 at 7 PM. You are instructed to to look around the room but are restricted to hiding in the shadows. You find a black boy wearing paper rabbit ears crying, (who’s sprite is called Jeremy in the files) blue (or maybe purple depending on the settings,) text appears above him saying, “I was having a ball fight in the pit and I threw to hard and accidentally hurt my friend, he probably hates me now.” After that yellow text appears over your head and says, “Oh no, little boy that’s not true, I just talked to your friend. He’s not mad, he just wants an apology, I can bring you to him. FOLLOW ME.” The boy will then follow you as you walk back to the empty room, as soon as both of you enter the room and the door closes, a knife suddenly appears in your hand as you take off the mascot suit, and the game fades to black.
The second game starts with one of the cabinets having a red liquid oozing out. Your character’s body is a slightly different shade of purple only his head is the same shade from before. You put on the suit and walk out again, a bunch of kids are gathered around the main stage, but more importantly the shadows are taking up more of the room so you can enter the arcade room, but if you go to where Jeremy was you can see a mom using the nearby phone and a dad standing next to her, text appears over her head as she hangs up. “Max just said someone called, and she said someone found Cupcake!” The dad replies, “That’s great, Susie and I were getting worried.” This interaction is not mandatory but it makes what’s about to happen even worse. As you enter the arcade you see a little girl in pink with blonde hair and green eyes (who the files call Susie) playing Fruity Maze and crying. You approach as a voice and yellow text appears over your head asking “What’s wrong, little girl?” The girl responds in xanthophyll text saying “My sister and I just lost our dog. And I overheard my parents say he might be dead.” Your smile suddenly has visible teeth, you say, “Ohhhhh nononononono no. I just got a call and someone said they found him!” The girl smiles and her eyes twinkle as she asks. “Really?” The white in your eyes suddenly gains a faint purple tint as you say. “Yes, do you want to see him? Then follow me.” You lead the child to the room and you take off your suit as the minigame ends.
The third game sees your shade of purple change again and the room has another cabinet oozing red. You put the suit back on and can now walk to the prize counter where you see a boy in red with a toy hook (named Fritz in the files), sad and alone. You go up to him and ask “What’s wrong, Old sport?” The boy responds in red, “I don’t have enough tickets to get Yarg Foxy, and he’s my favorite.” You look at the plush toy and tell the child “If you really want it, I can give you mine.” The boy is shocked. “Really, you would do that for me?” You reply “Yep.” The boy starts to run in circles from excitement. You calm him down and say, “Let’s go together so you can have it as soon as possible, come on, FOLLOW ME.” You know who this goes: another trip to the room and another bloody cabinet.
The fourth time around, you go to the ball pit and find a kid with brown hair and a paper top hat, (revealed by the files to be Gabriel) scratching his head. You go up and ask “What’s wrong?” The kid answers in brown text, “My friend and me were playing in here, but he threw a little too hard and I bumped my head, and before I could tell him I’m okay, he ran off and now I can’t find him.” Your eyes now gain red spirals as you say, “HEY, I know where he is, I’ll show you. Follow Me.” as the minigame fades to black.
The fifth minigame opens with you fully back to your original shade of purple, you start to walk around now unbound from the shadows you are just about to enter the manager's office when you see a child hiding near our office (the child who is in the files named Cassidy will NOT have an actor and will be represented by a golden silhouette, except for their black, curly hair.) Your curiosity gets the better of you as you ask a boy with BLONDE curly hair and an alligator mask (named in the files as Andrew Brooks (I want to reference other continuities versions of Golden Freddy here), who that kid is, Andrew tells us that the kid is Cassidy and that they are playing hide and seek with another kid and how they REALLY want to win since they are going to leave in 5 minutes. You are then instructed to go back and get in your suit. As soon as you do you are launched into a cutscene. Your character walks to Cassidy, telling them, “Cassisy was it?” The child looks up and nods. You tell them “I heard you REALLY want to win at hide and seek. I know a great spot. Come on, FOLLOW ME.” We then lead Cassidy out of frame, but unlike last all the other times, we don't follow our character, we focus on where Cassidy was hiding we then reveal that a nearby security camera saw what we just did before we cut back to the safe room. Our player character is gone and we now see blood pouring out of the yellow bear suit as the camera lingers on the image for a bit, before the white box we've seen in every minigame opens up to reveal, The Puppet who looks around before he panics, his sprite flipping left and right, as the shocked voice of a little girl asks “What do I do? What do I do, What do I do?!” Before we see 4 words appear. GIVE GIFTS. GIVE LIFE. And with that the game fades to black.
GAMEPLAY
Phew that was a lot to go through but you probably understand why that was so important, with it being an entirely new section of the game and all, but let's get back to something more simple, the actual gameplay, now FNaF 1’s gameplay is probably the best gameplay loop of the entire Clickteam Era so we are keeping the gameplay the same but adding a FEW things. First being you can hear Foxy running down the halls and if you time it right can close it on him before he even gets to you, with the window to do so shortening each night. This makes it actually possible to not use the cameras on nights and still make it to 6 AM, but it requires some skill so you have to be good at the game for it to be possible. I would also like a potential “no jumpscare mode” for people who hate them to be able to experience the game.
VOICE LINES
Now, besides re-recorded lines from Phone Guy and the new lines for the minigames, let’s add voice lines after you die a la FNAF 6 and UCN. Each hostile animatronic gets 5 lines except for Golden Freddy who has 10 so here they are.
Freddy
You were not ready for Freddy.
I couldn’t save them, but I WON’T save you.
You won’t be lonely anymore.
Join us. Be our friend.
There's nothing I want from you! Except your life...
Bonnie
Wanna hear my solo?
You look so familiar.
Hug?!
Looks like my lucky feet helped catch another one.
You’re never going to leave.
Chica
I was the first! I have seen everything!
PIZZA!
Let’s Eat!
No more games.
You reek.
Foxy
Being yer favorite won’t stop me from making you walk the plank.
Yar-har-har-har-har! Never underestimate the cunning of a pirate. Or a fox, for that matter!
Now ye know how it feels.
Argh, I came for ye booty! ...That be treasure, y'know.
Ye can be a pirate, but first ye have to lose a hand and eye! Yarg!
Golden Freddy
Now you can be together with him again. Like before.
I know it’s you William.
There's more fantasy and fun where I came from
You just couldn’t resist one more.
We've only just begun. I will never let you leave. I will never let you rest.
IT’S ME
It’s ok Mike, I forgive you.
It was for me.
I’m scared.
Is that you Mike?
Misc.
Now on to some minor changes I would like to update the 1987 easter egg to be Foxy instead of Golden Freddy but so we still have an easter egg for our Golden boy let’s change the dates where he jumpscares to 1983 AND 1985. Since I'm emphasizing the two spirits in him in this remake.
So that’s it. It took me like 3 days to make this so I hope you liked it. If you want me to do this for the other games let me know. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Glamrock Freddy. IS A PAPA BEAR.
PEOPLE HATE THIS??!
Disney: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
That fan keeps wasting power
(All versions)
Ok IF Talesgames IS canon this probably will fill in some of the holes in the theory.
