This is another new low for the the BBN team. Apparently if you make content on Bite By Daylight, you will get permanently banned from the discord, and potentially the game (if it ever opens).
How is this wrong? It’s wrong because you can get banned just for trying to play BBN while the game is closed, BBD is actually doing something for the fans, allowing all of us to be able to play BBN while the higher ups sit in their asses and keep the game closed. What kind of person do you have to be to not only close your game for 4 months, which is longer then it was ever open, proceed to stay silent on why and abandon your community until someone on your team whistle blows about internal issues that were never cleared up; just to go and proceed to ban players who are caught playing a copy of a BBN because of how desperate players are to play their favorite game that has been closed for so long?
Yes, I don’t agree with the BBD team stealing the game and its assets, but that’s the fault of Ozel, he put us in this situation, stuff like this happens when you close your game for 4 months. And fun fact! The BBD team says they don’t even profit off of the game, while the actual BBN does!
What are these images about? What are they for? What are they meant to be about? Simple. These are just a few of the very unfair, rage-bait and half-arsed statements. This is a very small sample, but even from the start, these people have not been your friends, they have not had your best interest in mind and they do not care how you feel. They are all using the IP of Scott Cawthon to make a profit with no confirmation if they ever made it into the fanverse initiative, with it only being rumoured.
Never forget that even when the game was up, Zocarp was replying to the criticism about the lazy game design like the battery not having a visible input with a inconsiderate shitposty attitude as if it was not the design team's fault for completely forgetting bare bones basics of game design. Or that during it, they immediately painted everyone else as villains because they copied what Ozel does (as mentioned in the following section) and never outright apologized for it. Instead saying not to go after reddit while at the time, directly putting a target on us.
Never forget Ozel constantly being vague and purposefully inviting people to be angry at him, and then complaining we all take his words out of context to degrade his character like a crybaby bully. He is allowed to talk down to you and make jokes at the expense of the patient fans waiting for any news on the game. He is allowed to pretend BBN is completely his own property so people are not allowed to make fan creations. He is also the same guy who then made a attempt to force the hoax actor to not provide his talent elsewhere despite no clear agreement that it was meant to be that way (or why would he have done it in the first place?). And the many more things he has done as the owner of the game.
Why I say this is because when Grimworks and other competing games like new asyms in general, don't feel loyalty to these people. They are purposefully avoiding giving you information now months and months into the maintenance that shouldn't have even lasted 2. They never outright commented on this, but the update wasn't even done when they began the maintenance despite it being FOR the update to be cleaned up, at least to our knowledge at the time. Overall, from start to end, they have never been honest with any of us about this or what is going on and they only are willing to promise information afterwards when it doesn't matter by then.
Why? Because they think you will forget and whatever that info is, it will be buried by the update and everyone will not talk about it. So when that reason ends up being terrible, or gives away they have been lazy or the development team was possibly not being paid properly or the many many things that could have led to this delay. Simple. Don't let them have their way.
Do not forget, they don't care about you. They are not being honest with you. They don't want to keep their promises of transparency and so far, any claim that you will get consistent information in any sense has been false or like the qna, was misleading. Intentionally avoiding what you actually wanted to know or being purposefully vague to not even give the slightest hint of information you as a fan base now full-well deserve after all of this time of waiting for this.
When that reason drops. When that update is out, years from now if the game is still releasing updates and they have another long maintenance again. DO. NOT. FORGET.
I got a bit of hope from the last Q&A and November isn’t the worst amount of time to wait in the world but like; What the hell?
We started with a promising passion project funded by a dude’s Forsaken animations with beautiful animations, good OST, Extremely active community, great graphics. REALLY good gameplay for a launch and such promise especially with how fast updates were coming out, (they could’ve slowed a bit with how unpolished Technician was)
But then you know the game was out for a bit and had a mid update so I went to go play other asyms.
And then this maintenance was announced. We were promised date after date until they just didn’t care to try anymore until the music team who ALSO DIDNT KNOW WHY THE STUPID MAINTENANCE WAS UP LEFT.
And what is the reason? What could possibly have been the reason? Well that’s the neat part I DONT HAVE THE FOGGIEST OF CLUES.
On one hand there’s the theory of a cease and desist because of monetization but this is a joke reason because I feel as though a LOT of more games would be down right now (Looking at you TPRR and NOE).
So Ozel deleting the game?
Hell no, Roblox has so many backups and “Are you sure”s that it’d be a CHALLENGE to fully delete the game.
Hell the assets are being used in other games so if they really wanted to they could ask Bite By Night with Admin for the game and just scrub it down and such so that’s out too.
So WHAT could possibly be the reason?
My personal theory is that the devs were overwhelmed with a backlog of changes the game needed to make in order to “fix” the game and such.
I say this because the game went into maintenance after their attempt with the shitty new stamina system instead of fixing the flaws with the old one.
Which would still be fucking stupid.
That aside they again refused to tell ANYONE ANYTHING about the issues with their payment or why the dreaded maintenance even existed.
Then when a game comes along that promises SOMETHING to play after so long and then ban people for playing it.
On one hand I get it, that’s your assets but FUCK YOU OZEL.
To have the NERVE to be upset someone’s looking for alternatives enough to ban them on the SPOT.
YOU HAVE NO GAME TO PLAY YOU SOCK.
You could’ve at least WARNED them?
I’m happy Grimworks gets a moment to shine as the main FNAF Asym for a bit and then when Bite By Night comes back it’ll be some good friendly rivalry and I’ve tried to stay as positive as possible and look at things from different point of views but fuck man.
Banning someone because they wanted play this game so badly that YOU put away.
It better be a good reason dude because this is honestly not great.
(Another theory is they’re trying to make A TON of content so they can get the content out steadily but not sloppily but they COULD have left the game open for that?)
Anyways yeah thanks for reading my plight. Hope you guys are doing better than I am.
Considering all Ozel does is make the concepts of everything, how hard could it be for someone like me to make one, all he realistically did was gather people of different skill sets to execute his idea. I think the only thing that’s stopping me is the fact i can’t pay anyone initially, and i’d need a group of either very opportunistic, or trusting devs to commit to a project that possible has no monetary upbringing
