To make a Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) game in Roblox, start by opening Roblox Studio and creating an empty base plate. Design an office that resembles the FNAF 1 office, keeping it simple. Group interactive elements like doors and lights in separate folders for easier scripting.
Next, add cameras to the office and other areas. Use scripting to control camera movements and interactions. This step is crucial for creating the signature surveillance mechanic of FNAF games.
Then, create animatronic models and add them to the game. Script their movements and behaviors, including interactions with the player. This brings the fear factor to life as the animatronics will move and react just like in the original game.
Implement a power management system, where the player has to manage power to keep doors closed and lights on. You can also add a breaker feature to reset power if it runs out. This adds a layer of strategy and tension.
Finally, add sound effects for animatronic movements and jump scares. Implement visual effects like lighting and shadows to enhance the horror atmosphere. Regularly test and refine your game to ensure all mechanics work properly. Once complete, publish your game on Roblox for others to enjoy.
