I don't think you can pull this off with the articulation you have with the legs, it's just not possible..

sorry to bust your but :)

Oh man, after 3 months of reading all of the things about this subreddit, i hope the project is gonna be successfull and awesome, all the animatronics possibilities, everything is great here! I always come back to check if there's news. Really well done !

… We're about $1000 short of finishing Freddy by October 31st. That's with the boss putting as much of his own money into the project as he can.

Guys, we need help. Major help. The Halloween reveal has been the plan from the start. Missing it isn't just disappointing or a hit to our morale. It's failing to achieve the biggest goal we have so far. I think it'd be considered a sign of failure, inevitable failure, to people not invested in the project.

We need funding, and that funding has to come from you. The fanbase for Five Nights at Freddy's. There's literally no other place we can turn to for money. We don't have access to some grant or corporation to funnel money into our project. We just have you.

And y'know, I think that's all we need.

So, let's go over the perks: -Early access to Project87 content – progress shots, voice actor audio, the lore, etc -Their name engraved on Freddy's endoskeleton -The right to, at any time, request the voice actors record something in character – keep in mind that the voice actors have the right to say no to these requests, and several are underage

If you have other ideas for perks, tell us in the comments or in an ask on Tumblr.

Speaking of Tumblr, as we can reach a wider amount of people, we're adding another option for donations. On the off-chance that people like the voices for the animatronics but don't really care about the project itself, we'd like to start offering 'one time' donations. There'll be a special term for people that take this route, but we haven't come up with it yet. It's kind of like a business transaction – you pay a certain amount of money to get your chosen voice actor[s] to record something of your choice. Again, there are some limits. It'd be fair to treat every word as one cent, right? So a roughly 500 word short story would be five dollars. A simple sentence, under 100 words, could just be one dollar, since sending cents as donations doesn't make much... sense. [ba-dum tish] There would also be the comfort of the voice actors to consider. I'd probably make a page or google doc to show what everyone's okay with, so as to not waste anybody's time or money.

I'll be uploading a version of this post on there too. Can't donate but have a Tumblr account? Reblog it once it's up [I'll link it here], or reblog literally anything that's on our blog, especially if you know you have followers that like FNAF. I've tagged things as best I can, but not everybody in the fandom checks the tags, so I'm missing a lot of people that could help us out. Honestly it's kind of bothering me, knowing that it's going ignored. Likes don't count. They don't help. Reblogs do. And if you reblog things from us, our actual created content especially, it'd mean just as much to me [since I'm posting 99% of it] as donating does.

If there's anything else you want or need to know, tell me in the comments. Don't be afraid to ask specifics about anything, or something like that.

The human race has only started to get robots that can walk on its own. How the fuck are a bunch of gamers going to make one.

'Lightweight metals' make these things easier to knock over

Walking is a huge problem because even robots slip.

This all seems like a scam for 6000 dollars. Wouldn't be aurprised, a bunch of gamers can't make groundbreaking technolgy. I want images of these things, and videos, get the damn motoras and atleastshow us you are working on shit.

I don't think that this is possible with regular animatronic motors. You see, an animatronic motor is capable of providing a good few newtons of torque - around 10 to 100 - however, in order to keep an 8-foot robot standing and (god forbid) walking, you'd need something much, much more powerful.

Hydraulic action would be much more ideal as a form of actuating animatronic limbs, as the weak and minimal-load motors are only really designed for simple facial flexes. Investing in slave-master cylinder systems would be ideal, as these systems could reuse the animatronic motors to drive the master cylinders.

Additionally, the materials I saw being used in the "Freddy Stands!" showcase of the animatronic legs appear to be inadequate. Although great for small-scale construction, these metal panels would quickly bend out of shape due to the workload being put on them and the shock from each step on a solid floor (or, it falling over on a solid floor). A strong, light alloy would be more adequate as support beams for attaching animatronic components to. As well as this, there is also the problem of Freddy's head. There is a possibility that Freddy's head will be much heavier than the rest of his body. This will lead to major displacement of center of mass, resulting in a potential topple. A way to combat this would be to place all major components (batteries, processing units, etc) within Freddy's pelvic region - that way, the center of mass will be more like a human's, and he will potentially be capable of walking like one too.

tl;dr: Hydraulics would be more effective as movement solution, your center of mass might be way off so place all major components in freddy's pelvis.

Also, where are your designs for the endoskeletons? Have you created any mockups? Would they be effective in-action?

i have the attention span of a 3 year old i'm not gonna read through the updates

It will be missed. I guess it's because there isn't even a snoo.

The title says it all. Since you're gonna do all of the different incarnations of the characters, I was wondering if they would be in different places or all be crowded together?

Welcome to project 87 a fun community where everyone works together to help build our favorite animatronics. Whether you act out the lines that the animatronics will say or you just want to hang around. There is a place for everyone here.

Rules!

-Make sure you're nice and supportive to each other.

-Don't spam or ask for too many things. Make sure you also don't rush the project leaders.

-No inappropriate or unrelated content needed.

Well sit back and enjoy your selves here in our little community.

title.

What exactly is this project?

Also, why will there be gender-swapped characters? That's just weird.

I was the user that posted the post on /r/fnafcringe. I know you've been working very hard on this and I'm extremely sorry for making fun of it.

I know what I said wasn't cool and I take full blame for it. The title was rude but I did want to show the people of /r/fnafcringe the Endoskeleton as well.

I promise that it won't happen again.

EDIT - Thanks for accepting my apology. Are you actually serious that people don't apologize? How rude.

I believe that Fredbear is a wise ol' bear, and should be the kindest one, giving morals and just being friendly all and all.

I have discovered your project today and looking at pretty much everithing i could find on the project there is one thing i think should be talked about more in detail: Relashionships. From the way the crew is describing it, it sounds the animatronics are gonna have relashionships like humans do. And the thing that has bothered me with that are the fact is that they are gonna have prerecorded voices. The thing is that i do not think that a "limited" set of quotes would be enough for them. Wich is why in case you should maybe incorporate a voice generator program into them for the moment when they do not have anything that suit what they want to say. As for the voices i would have thought of the f-boys voices because it would still sound "familliar" to most of the fans (and also because i otterly adore springtrap's voice in that game).

Another, simpler thing is the that it would be cool to have you finish up freddy live and than upload the replay on youtube so we can experience with you the "birth" the member of fazbear crew!

Finnaly a question : what do you plan to do with an hearing ability? for exempample if you said: "Freddy, give me a soda." are they gonna understand it and obey or are they gonna ignore it?

Thank you for any responses from staff member and sorry for my crappy as i am french and even though i personnaly consider my english is pretty good i am not immune from faults now and then. Goodbye.

Hey everyone. If you are reading this, I hope your day was great. If you didn’t read this… well you clearly did read it, so I hope your day was great regardless

Hey everyone, and welcome to the Reddit roundup for this week.

ROBOT!

Looks like the boss has made us a new video, and this time we actually get to hear our dear Freddy speak his first words! isn’t that crazy cool? It’s just a demo, for now, of how the speech recognition works, and it will change in the future, but still! I think its wicked cool!

Additionally we also have this video as a test of the stereo mic that is going inside Freddy. Some of you might recognize the wired thing making the noises as Freddy’s 3d-printed demo finger and you would be absolutely right =) Freddy is making a bit of FNAF ASMR for you =P

LORE!
