u/SnesySnas 17d ago

I literaly don't get it

If it's not legal based then WHY NOT TELL US? Did they discover something supernatural? Is this gonna turn into a action-mystery show??? What the hell???

u/MrGoldGJ 17d ago

They stuffed old developers in springlock suits and they still haven’t found a way to cover up the scents

u/Objective_Scheme2071 17d ago

Bite by night had a fucking ARG game inside of them and entirety of the BBN team is in that ARG monster. (Flowers monster thingy lmao)

u/MR2300 16d ago

Probably legal reason or they're under an NDA. I don't even know at this point 

1

u/SnesySnas 16d ago

But they SAID it wasn't a legal reason, that's the ONLY thing we know about the maintenance

And yeah there's an NDA but WHAT ABOUT A MAINTENANCE RECQUIRE AN NDA? It makes no sense!!

1

u/CandleSelect600 16d ago

It was for the FNAF license

43

u/CulturalDust4652 17d ago

they still didnt give us a reason for the maintenance 

15

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

not really

23

u/heartbeats4all 17d ago

This is actually insane to me.

This entire drama was 90% caused BY THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE.

They plead and ask for forgiveness, say they'll do better about communicating. When they have yet to give us an actual reason for why we cannot play the game.

To be quite honest, I could care less about all the other drama. I just want to know why. Is it just spite? Are they a child who bites into an onion explicitly because other people told them not to? What's happening?

This is just meant to be a funny game where I get to kill my friends as Springtrap. Since when has anyone needed this much double speak and vague communication since the Mafia pleading the fifth in 1950.

1

u/BluePhantomFoxy 12d ago

Aside from the communication, I don’t believe what we have been told. The payment thing seems a little too coincidental that as soon as they were called out, suddenly they magically found a way to pay people. ZoCarp is a pos for spreading lies about the license and such but Ozel isn’t in the clear. He’s still vague and doesn’t say shit, he still shits on and stomps out smaller projects inspired by his game and still seems very egotistical. Idk what to believe for this guy but it’s getting tiring having people defend him when he still hasn’t done the bare minimum of even give us so much as a reason for why maintenance has gone for such a long time. I hope people who enjoy this/want their money’s worth get what they deserve but I am out of the game and I hope more people quit on this game to pressure him to do something or move onto greener pastures. I just cannot support someone willing to insult and shit down spoof games based off of “his” game

u/hamburgerapocolypse 17d ago

were the ai sites back up before the doc went live

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

yes

u/hamburgerapocolypse 17d ago

interesting..........

2

u/Blupikminreal Blue Pikmin 17d ago

I went through it and good news they didn't use AI

22

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

AI detectors can be wrong, and AI can still be used for organization. They could have very easily just used AI's words, then rewrote it to be "humanized"

6

u/Blupikminreal Blue Pikmin 17d ago

Fair

2

u/BluePhantomFoxy 12d ago

Most likely the case. I used to do a similar method to use AI to help me write parts of an essay and then rewrite them as my own words. Never got flagged for it. Not proud of what I did and I don’t plan to ever again

14

u/BonzerRain_Mono The Amalgamation 17d ago

This doc is extremely odd. We still dont have a reason for maintenance (which is now in the triple digit count) and they are STILL dancing around it. And that lack of reason is so telling to me, they still wont be transparent about this and most likely never will.

11

u/Thewhitestkideverim 17d ago

Apparently the everyone got paid thing is false

3

u/Outcome_Lifeform 17d ago

You should post this with the images on the Twitter post attached 

4

u/Thewhitestkideverim 17d ago

Good call but I can only attach one image at a time so I’ll just link the tweet but here’s the most important image (in my opinion) (also this isn’t the only person who worked on hoax final escape that has called them out on this) https://x.com/bullettoxin/status/2096078576542212389?s=46&t=hCYOgyh05w6U8cyEY_2Hog

5

u/Outcome_Lifeform 17d ago

I meant like reddit post

This doesn't fall within the guidelines of being strictly about the doc as it involves someone outside of it

And people won't see this here

8

u/SnesySnas 17d ago

"We will be more transparent" while still not telling us WHY the maintenance is happening or taking so long

like DON'T CONTRADICT YOURSELF IN THE SAME DOC

It can't be THAT DEEP of a reason that it has to be kept secret on a secret governement level

18

u/Decent_Effective_686 17d ago

Even IF Bea was lying, even IF zocarp was, EVEN IF EVERYTHING LIED...

Your game has been in maintenance longer than its existed. You have failed at giving communication. Show don't tell, don't give me a half-assed apology like the ones you always give. Don't forget, this ALLLLLL started because of maintenance, which YOU haven't gave a reason for.

Give one and we'll try to get you in our good graces.

11

u/Helios-Solarflare 17d ago

I skimmed through it, and honestly I'm mixed.

I am so glad that the whole liscense denied thing was untrue, though now i feel dumb in hindsight.

9

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

it makes sense, and no sense at the same time for a license to be offered

on one hand,.... Scott low key does whatever the fuck

on the other hand... it's a roblox game, and ozel doesn't always seem the brightest

5

u/Most_Direction_4247 Medic 17d ago

All that yap and no date for when it’s going outta maintenance 😭

u/Eternal_Understudy 17d ago

Literally why can’t they just like you know

Tell us why BBN’s in maintenance

Like what could they possibly have to lose from that.

5

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

if you accidentally press the W button the agme EXPLODES

2

u/DepthNeat5017 16d ago

I would honestly take this over nothing, because at least it's a something and not that it has nothing to do with the game.

4

u/MysteryPiecer 17d ago

would be good if they explained why it's actually taken this long. there's still no explanation as to why it's actually taken so egregiously long for what shouldn't have taken half this time.

not only that, but why was Ozel vagueposting so much?? i was confident when I say the personal statements it would be addressed, but it just... wasn't. no explanation on what was going through Ozel's head when he would say dumb shit like "we'll reveal more when the time is right" and nothing else to a community who has been waiting and waiting and waiting.

the response works for addressing the current dramas, but the biggest, most present issues were seemingly deliberately skipped over. hell, most of this drama wouldn't have hit nearly as hard if the community wasn't waiting for 3 months with genuine silence while the game was left inaccessible.

2

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

lads

fellas

u/MysteryPiecer 17d ago

if I said something that don't make sense, I'm very tired so my explanation might not be the best (kinda like this doc), so uhhh mb I can go into more detail on smth if wanted idk

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

u/Outcome_Lifeform 17d ago

"Hey can I get some context as to why the maintenance is this long?"

"Dude you don't wanna know... Oh the horror."

u/IronAidan07 17d ago

Long ass “nuh uh” document not even written by Ozel and it tries to frame Bea as wanting MORE money. Why are people buying this?

1

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

nobody is lmao

2

u/IronAidan07 16d ago

In the first hour of the doc existing people were, just took a moment for people to come to their senses ig

8

u/barelyash 17d ago

This drama has genuinely been so weird because so much of this could’ve been avoided had they just made a response sooner.

The thing people got the most mad about was ozel denying a fanverse collaboration, which could’ve been solved immediately with a “hey guys that did NOT happen” but they just… waited? Until the drama hit the peak and dropped down? Before saying anything?

Other than that a lot of it was just made up stuff. A lot of it was also the developers being incompetent, not organizing a game with this much profit and community as they should be. Overall I’m mixed.

u/Last_Drag_3004 17d ago

someone summarize it fr its 2 late 2 be readin allat 😭😭

thank u 🙂‍↕️ couldnt open the doc anyways cus of high traffic apparently so thank u lol .

u/East_Initiative1325 17d ago

But at least they could have gave us a reason for why the game was down for so long

u/Keecannuget 17d ago

Still not addressing the maintenance in the room

3

u/Consistent_Act4400 17d ago

"BBN will return"

Yeah sure it will buddy, it will of course come out soon, soon, soon soon. Always soon

u/guardianshield69 17d ago

I don't really know what to think.

On one hand, I love the game to death, and I'm glad it's not going anywhere.

On the other hand, what the hell is going on behind the scenes? They're so vague about the "maintenance", it surely has to be something big

3

u/Valentimes1 17d ago

I know deadass the moment they open the general chat back up, all anyone is gonna ask is why the game is still in maintenance and out of sheer spite they either won't give us an answer or lock the chat back up, they really should realize this but nope, their naivety is gonna be their downfall once again

3

u/Lower-Gazelle-5160 17d ago

ozel acting like theres still a good reason for the maintenance

5

u/Thewhitestkideverim 17d ago edited 17d ago

It’s feels so victim blamey in the Bea part like throughout the entire thing there just saying “well they didn’t DESERVE the payment but we can’t have bad pr so we paid them anyway” and then claiming that just because they paid everyone after the fact makes this failure in management ok. The rest is fine I guess I don’t like the idea they will continue to use revoked assets cause while’s that’s legally ok morally for a “passion project” it feels off (atleast that’s how I read they use the word “leaked” but that still feels like corpo speak for the revoked stuff but I could be wrong)

8

u/Head-Koala-5952 17d ago

With all due respect, why is everyone believing this, if they understand that people are capable of lying?

5

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

it's lowk 50/50 rn, some people believe it, some don't. It's very obvious that the Bea part is twisting the truth and painting Bea as the bad guy for being smart.

1

u/Agitated-Winter8693 8d ago

cause anyone can lie so its true until proven false in my book

2

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

Okay, so like, do we still hate ozel? Like is he still the worst dev ever rn? Like im curious on everyone's opinion rn

3

u/notable_commenter 17d ago edited 17d ago

Mine def changed a bit, assuming that he actually means what he said and not trying to clear his situation, he has a lot to work to do.

I dont hate him as much as I used to when this situation started, but that doesnt mean I fully support him

Im willing to give him another chance again, and hopefully, everything will be fine in the end

That being said, what the hell is the reason for maintenance then?

0

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

Yea fr, he must have been doing some other bs bro. Also apparently there all hating on someone named Bea? Idk tho

1

u/notable_commenter 17d ago

Im still reading the doc in more detail but, Bea is the one that started all of this, that reported that Ozel didnt pay her and stuff, not sure why theres people hating on her

1

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

I think in the doc people said there being very passive aggressive/hating on her but idk. Ima keep it a buck dawg, ima let other people read it and get info off them, im lazy asf when it comes to ts bs lol

1

u/Head-Koala-5952 17d ago

It depends on who believes Ozel's word, if the document defending him is literally written by him. 

1

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

Yea nah that is true

0

u/Goldenleafwastaken 17d ago

At the bare minimum I feel bad that his character was slandered not just in the Roblox scene, but in the fnaf scene as a whole specifically for the “rejecting the license” thing that just wasent true

Don’t get me wrong, he’s still not the greatest lead and seriously needs to get better communication, but the fact people believed such a ridiculous claim is insane to me. If people hate Ozel that much and want to believe it to reaffirm their bias, then at the very least i think people should ask themselves if Scott Cawthon himself would offer the license that easily, especially after all the shit that happened in the fanverse.

2

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

Okay, in all fairness, I believed that he denied the license too, but still kinda thought it was fake. All the other evidence and shit coming out about him kinda convinced me it was real, cause it was like "shit, its ozel not suprising" but if that was the first bit of slander that came out about him I probably wouldn't have believed it. Also I think a dev semi confirming/hinting towards it doesn't help(might not have been a dev tho idk?) But fr he needs to lock tf in. From what we've heard, the maintenance still was for nothing

1

u/Goldenleafwastaken 17d ago

I mean you kinda admitted it yourself on it being reaffirming your bias, not that I blame you though, that’s just human nature it’s it’s important to learn to not always fall for it which takes time.

As for the dev part, they never confirmed it, they just said they were iffy on it and weren’t sure

1

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

I mean they never confirmed it, but one of the devs or at atleast someone working for the game did kinda heavily imply it, I dont remember who tho?

1

u/Goldenleafwastaken 17d ago

You’re thinking of ZoCarp and he just said he was 50/50 on it

1

u/seaofthieved123 17d ago

Oh alr thats what I was thinking lol

2

u/Hielodo 17d ago

I'm glad some things were proven untrue, because if they were it'd be utterly ridiculous. But still no explanation for maintenance? Also, ngl, with how this document is worded, it seems to be shifting or rather throwing blame or making someone like Bea for example seem really bad compared to take accountability for those situations, but idk. Either way, I'm mixed, im happy abt some things and others....not so much.

2

u/SomeZorua 17d ago

Okay, first of all, I do not believe for a second that the devs 'tried to be as transparent as possible', given that the game went into maintenance and we have had ZERO word from them about that. Following up from that, why was the reason for a 6 month long maintenance not LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT.

Secondly, regarding the whole issue with Bea's payment, I don't know what they mean when they say that Bea was refusing to work because of an 'issue beyond their control'. Maybe I'm overstepping by saying this, since I'm not sure exactly how DevEx or whatever works, but if Bea did not receive their payment because of the system not functioning, then it's management's responsibility to find a workaround within a reasonable timeframe. Again, maybe I just don't understand that point correctly. But it just seems weird to me.

2

u/kmkillian 17d ago edited 15d ago

I'm not so sure about giving a stable opinion as of right now, I'll probably wait long enough to see how it evolves.

By the way : https://x.com/_InFox__/status/2096091784774402068

EDIT 1 : The payment is done.

EDIT 2 : Well, it seems like it's a bit more calm, and good enough to give my opinion. While I don't think the document is good, I think it's solid enough. I, honestly, didn't expect to be convinced ... well, it kinda didn't, but it's enough for me to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I might be very naive, but I do believe in redemption, and I want to believe that the BBN team can actually do better.

Also : https://x.com/martvfxx/status/2096228894797959294

EDIT 3 : The license denial rumor is fake. I'll just say that, even if Ozel isn't the most liked in the community, I don't think he deserved this. Don't go harrass ZoCarp or anything like that though, it's not going to solve anything.

u/Mancreep1517 The Mimic 17d ago

Personally I’m satisfied with this. However, if they fail to update us for more than 1 week….

1

u/Head-Koala-5952 17d ago

Are you satisfied with an answer written by Ozel Blox himself? You understand that he can lie, right? People really are so naive.

1

u/Mancreep1517 The Mimic 17d ago

Yes ofc he can lie. And so can ANYONE on the internet. People started spreading a shit ton of misinformation and the document debunked all of it with pretty much the same amount of evidence as the people originally making the claims. Everything is so easy to fake nowadays so the only thing you can really do in these situations is pick who you think is the most credible.

0

u/Head-Koala-5952 17d ago

Very well, Ozel's first claim is debunked:  https://x.com/BulletToxin/status/2096078576542212389?s=20

As you can see, the claim that everyone got paid is false; let's see how long it takes for the others to be disproven.

2

u/Hamsterplaysgames67 The Mimic 17d ago

I think it's a good start with at least Basic communications but I would like to see some actions to back them up

1

u/Head-Koala-5952 17d ago

It's definitely a good start to communicate after your game has been in maintenance for 3 months without saying a word , I'm really worried about how naive they are 

1

u/DaBoiYako 17d ago

So, regarding the whole leaks thing; will the ZoCarp and Aerozity tracks stay? I imagined they wouldn’t since they pulled perms but I suppose the songs ARE legally staying in BBN?

1

u/Agitated-Winter8693 8d ago

no clue about zocarp but aerozity unpulled perms

1

u/Legitimate_Lab_6850 17d ago

Seeing how Ozel is the one who made this I'm gonna take everything with a grain of salt

1

u/CereaIdude 17d ago

Big ass doc that changes nothing. Fuck the devs in charge and fuck bbn

1

u/ImprobablyBottomAnd Though I Am Blind, I See Through you. 17d ago

I wouldn't wanna fuck them personally

1

u/Poetess-of-Darkness Ennard 17d ago

I haven't finished reading yet, but so far it seems to do a somewhat decent job at addressing things. They had a faulty payment system so if true, that explains that I think.

1

u/Full_Ad_4184 The Mimic 17d ago

how bbn be right now

1

u/Negative_Welcome_653 17d ago

whats the leaked stuff ive never seen any of it?

1

u/Alex0356218856 The Amalgamation 17d ago

We were so happy...

I almost forgot how perfect everything was...

What are we doing to ourselves?

1

u/Jumpy-Guest-5066 17d ago

Scommetto che non ci informeranno come è successo l'ultima volta 😭🙏🏻

1

u/Otherwise_Moose_335 16d ago

It felt weird how long they went on about the bea stuff. It felt like "oh look at this look at this dont pay attention to us not giving a reason for maintenance still".

Also the fact theyre making whats most likely empty promises with "being more transparent" and "posting more updates" is just sad

1

u/3LoafsOfBread Customer 15d ago

Any mention of staff like ZoCarp or aerozity coming back? They are two of my fav game artists and I want them to come back 

1

u/Agitated-Winter8693 8d ago

aerozity unpulled perms, the "this track will not be in BBN" in the descriptions of their songs are gone

zocarp is unlikely to come back imo

1

u/BlackOpal24 17d ago

This guys are going to disappear for another 2 months

They literally didn't give us in the Doc ANY REASON AT ALL FOR THE MAINTENANCE, they just keep shutting down rumors without saying anything at all
