Q: When will the game release?
A: If you are talking about the release date of the full game, we are not so sure, but if you are talking about the first night you can expect at the end of 2027.Q: What happened to FNAF: Beneath the Dark Underground and FNAF: The Horror Attraction/The Twisted Underground?
A: First of all, this is the reboot and improved version of the last one, and when it comes to the last one... well, allow me to explain. Krosis (one of the creators of FNAF: BTDU) decided to focus on other things and gave the ownership of the AU to Katy so when the time came to reboot FNAF: THA/TTU she decided to merge both AUs into one. So yes, this is a sucessor to FNAF: BTDU and FNAF: THA/TTU.Q: What program is Under the Stage begin made in??
A: GameMaker, just like Undertale and Deltarune!Q: What plataform are you releasing the game?
A: Gamejolt!Q: Is the game going to be free or paid
A: Since this a fan-made non-profit project, it's obviously going to be free.Q: Can i make fanart of the AU
A: Of course!Q: How long has this project been in production?
A: FNAF: THA started in 2018 while BTDU started in 2017 so more than 8 years ago, even before Deltarune Chapter 1 release.Q: Can I make videos on Under the Stage?
A: Of course! Just credit any of our pages in the description.Q: I want to help the project/be part of the team, how can i do that?
A: Send a DM to Katy (KatyGuerreiro on Discord) and show your work to her.Q: Can i make my own FNAF AU?
A: Absolutely! We don't own the concept of a Five Nights at Freddy's and Undertale crossover AUs, as long as you don't call this your take on Under the Stage and instead you have your own name, you are free to do anything you want with it!

UNDER THE STAGE ISSUE 1 - Five Nights at Freddy's 12th Anniversary/August 2026 NewslatterIntroductionHello! First of all, let's all wish Freddy Fazbear a happy birthday, it's been 12 years since FNaF1 released which is really nuts to think about. This game changed my life in ways i can't explain and i am what i am today because of Five Nights at Freddy's, so despite all the mistakes made along the way, thank you Scott.Second, this year marks 8 years since the birth of the original AU. We are getting old honestly.And last, yeah we are doing newsletters like Toby Fox does every month for Deltarune. This will be the only time where i will ping everyone, if you want to get updates go on roles and choose "UTS Alerts" so you get updates every time there's something new about Under the Stage. With that said, let's get into the newslatter.StoryWhen it comes to the backstory written for the world and characters, it's basically done, the story will start "a long time ago" or at very least in the 1940s and will end in the 2040s post security breach era. Lots of elements from the original Five Nights at Freddy's timeline (from what we know at least) will be changed in order to make a story that fits with Undertale themes and what my vision for the project represents.When it comes to the story in the present time when the games takes place, while i know how it begins and ends, there's still the road in the middle that i'm still planning carefully that there are details that need to be decided. The story of the first chapter is basically complete, it's just more of the game design itself which i will talk more later that needs more polish. For me the biggest challenge was trying to not make this a undertale reskin and feel more like a Five Nights at Freddy's story told by Toby Fox, obviously this wouldn't be a Undertale copy paste considering there's the character of William who doesn't replace anyone and has his own arc in the story, but my point still stands of using Undertale as a base but not copy every single element.GameplayI'm currently testing waters in Gamemaker, but for obvious reasons this is the most ambitious project i ever done on the program, so anyone who knows how to use it feel free to contact me in the DMs! The most important thing i can talk is that i already know every single mechanic used in this first night, there aren't just undertale or deltarune mechanics here, there will be exclusive mechanics that don't exist in neither games so everything feels fresh.MusicI'm currently waiting for not only the songs of the first and other chapters to be done, but also it's thumbnails to be completed, so like in the gameplay part i'm currently recruiting people who know how to compose songs!VisualsBattle sprites are almost done too for this first chapter, they just need to be animated, which will look really amazing. You will see that they are robots at the end of the day. What needs to be worked on the most are overworld sprites, both characters, objects and tilesets. The first night map is going to be huge, i want every night to be at least 2 hours long like a Deltarune Chapter, so lots of work still needs to be done.Languages and TranslationsThe main language is American English (with characters like the Aftons using British English), but i'm also planning on release to have both Portuguese translations (from my country Portugal and Brazil) which i still need to see how i will use gender-neutral pronouns to make sure everyone is comfortable. I hope we can translate to Japanese too since that's one of the two languages Toby wanted his games with, but also other languages, however that will take time since i need to approve every translation to make sure they are right.ConclusionThere are still alot to be done and obviously don't expect a release date this year, and if you want to join the team as a programmer, artist, composer etc. feel free to send me a DM (KatyGuerreiro on Discord) and we will find a space for you in the team!
