The Joy of Creation: Story Mode, abbreviated as TJoC:SM or just Story Mode, was a free-roam survival horror video game and the second installment of The Joy of Creation series, developed by Nikson. Story Mode was being completely remade for the Ignited Collection for the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative before being scrapped along with the Ignited Collection in March 2024 for an entirely new game inspired by Story Mode for THE JOY OF CREATION.

Development

On August 20, 2020, Scott Cawthon made a Reddit post announcing The Fazbear Fanverse Initiative, which announced Nikson would be making "The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection."

On August 23, 2020, Nikson made a post on Game Jolt sharing what the project is. He stated it was going to be a bundle of The Joy of Creation: Classic, The Joy of Creation: Reborn, and The Joy of Creation: Story Mode. At the end, he stated, "to expect the title somewhere in 2021.".

On July 27, 2023, Nikson shared that The Joy of Creation: Classic would no longer be remade for the Ignited Collection, opting for new gameplay and story for the Story Mode and Reborn modes for $19.99. Later he posted two screenshots of Chica in the cameras wishing that she appeared in the cameras in normal gameplay.

On March 25, 2024, Nikson changed the title to just "THE JOY OF CREATION," no longer making the game a bundle but an entirely new game that draws inspiration from Story Mode and Reborn.

Trivia

• While answering questions about the Office level on Twitter, Nikson also answered some about the overall product.
  • There will be much fewer, if any, easter eggs, since he feels they ruin atmosphere/immersion.
  • It will be more brutal and much scarier than the original, in his opinion. It will be way more tense and fast paced.
  • The story is completely new and different. Scott and his family are no longer in the game. New characters will replace the originals, but there will be less characters in total.
  • There will definitely be upscaling. There won't be RTX, and Lumen will likely not be used either.
  • The Office is now the game's first level, making more sense with the new story and main character. He has not planned the order of the other levels yet, he only knows that it starts in the Office.
  • Just the Office has been worked on, as he is doing them one by one.
  • The ignited will not have voices because it makes them less scary. In fact, no voice over has been done yet.
  • He does not want to list things to expect, not wanting to emphasize certain things over others, and especially because "a LOT" has yet to be decided.
  • The game has been much more fun to code now that Nikson is more experienced.
  • Everything will be completely remade, as he no longer has the original assets. He would like to make the jumpscares more violent and graphic. Ignited Bonnie will still punch the player's face.
  • A feature planned for all levels is something he likes to call the "Jumpscare Director". Once the player is technically dead, the game will attempt to figure out the most effective way to create a death scene.
  • More "challenge" modes will be added.
  • Rooms will be getting design changes.
  • There is a possibility for collectibles to be found in levels.
  • He does have ideas for Steam achievements.
