I love the game's blatant stupidity and funniness. I think they are better without lore. Edit: lmao I've gone back and changed this a bunch cos I fucked up the grammar, but tbh idk if I agree with my original statement. what I can say is that I will enjoy the hell out of these games whether or not they have lore, cos they're brilliant.
My interpretation was always that Flumpty subscribed to cartoon logic(ie Bugs Bunny) and reality is basically whatever was decided at the moment. This made it even more scary as can you imagine the cartoon antics of Bugs as a killer?
I honestly never thought the games needed lore to begin with, I just took as a guy just making an elaborate shitpost from a simple and stupid idea, that just so happened to turn out really good

About the Cancellation of Flumpty. Honestly, Your riddle school franchise was amazing and when I found out you were the guy who actually did that, I stopped thinking of you as just "That one guy who made Flumpty's". But sure, I thought you were just that one guy who made the Flumpty games. You are an amazing Developer and don't let anything change the way you think. Keep moving forwards.
Jonochrome you still underplay yourself. The reason everyone's still talking about Onaf is that you're genuinely a good game designer and we love the characters you make cuss they're full of spunk and personality, along with the mechanics of the game just being super good. I really wish you'd stop selling yourself short cuss you got the skills and ability to make memorable stuff :)
Mr. Zamboni indeed, the game is pretty damn Immortal in every regard. I have enjoyed playing these more than I do any of the games they’re parodying. Very stupid, extremely well-made fun that still kind of inspires me today. I remember being super bummed that they were off of Gamejolt because of how exhausted Jonochrome was, but apparently they’re back on there so that’s a huge plus (and then I remembered I don’t own a windows device anymore lol)
Kinda sad that you had to make this. At one point in my life I was a doofus and asked you if I could ever continue the franchise. I learned after like a week that I shouldn't. This whole thing is just one big yolk. Doesn't need a plot, doesn't need any lore, it's just friends having fun (you and your friend, not Flumpty and Blam, those... those 2 are beyond bonding). I wish you a great day.
Flumpty is Jesus and he came back on Earth to commence The Rapture. It is all BBB's fault because he wished for Flumpty to be real on his birthday and he just spawned in.
Yeah, I think he just made all the new characters in onaf just to have fun with his victims, and then just added and killed the characters as he pleased.
It’s honestly hilarious seeing people try to make since of it all, and how even after this people will still say, “He’s just trying to throw us off! There is an answer to it all!” And I can’t wait for the theories to be even more ridiculous than the game and comics themselves
Cris Fox The two other games still exist, just because he cancelled a third continuation doesn’t mean that he can’t talk about the other two games especially if people are want him too.
I really hope people badgering Jono isn't holding him back from doing other projects. Pigeonholing any kind of artist is the surest way to strangle their creativity, and man do I hate seeing that. I've been through long periods where my creative ambitions were stopped dead, right now I thankfully have them back so I intend to go as much as I can, hopefully getting something worthwhile done before it leaves me. I'm sorry, I don't know why I left this comment.
I've always been fine with the One Night at Flumpty's series being a goofy parody. I never really cared for knowing answers in the "lore", I just though: How wacky! Five Nights at Freddy's with an _EGG!_
The fact that there is no story is what makes them great. The weird sense of there being an alien logic connecting everything that you could never uncover or understand gives them a uniquely surreal sense of horror that you don't see that often. Wish there were more horror games out there that didn't explain anything or even make it possible for there to be an explanation for anything.
I honestly don't think you'll see this but, thank you so much for making this game. It inspiers me to do the same, and the way One Night At Flumpty's looks is stunning. Sure it might be a completely joke type of game buf it still has a lot of charm and it will always be one of my favorite fan games of all time. Thank you JonoChrome. (And honestly I'm glad you made this video since I was always curious of what was canon or not)
dude, you're geniunely a really funny guy, your ideas are great and i respect you a ton - i hope you get to create other things that make you happy, and if you do, boy, we'll be here to cheer you on.
The Flumpty's lore: Jonochrome one day ate an egg: created imaginary Flumpty's Bumpty Jonochrome thinks on birthdays: created Birthday Boy Blam This 2 ones appeard before in sketch comics Well, this is boring... Ok... The Beaver is just a Imaginary Beaver, Grunkfuss is just a Imaginary Clown, The Redman is a reference for The Purple Guy, nothing else, Eyesore is just a Fat Redman, The Owl is just a Imaginary Owl and ONaF is the mind of Jonochrome.
This is exactly what I hoped for when I clicked on this video. As cool as it is when someone creates a game to say something or to make something with a deeper meaning or story, it’s always really nice to see a game made because the creator was just passionate about making it and nothing more. I’ve always respected the Flumpty games for that, and they inspire me sometimes to do the same :)
Honestly, your "no lore" approach to game design is probably my favorite game design choice I've seen in a while. It may not be as practical to use with other kinds of games, but abstract art is muh jam. You do you.
We can just say that Grunfus the Clown is there because of Birthday Boy Blam’s birthday party, he had a friend that drank lava and lived, Flumpty made a gift for Blam which was the eyesaur, The Beaver and his best friend Owl were looking for a nearby toilet and urinal, and Flumpty’s grandpa’s ghost came to haunt them for no reason, years later Redman dared the Owl to eat a urinal and he choked on it, and then Flumpty was like “Oh boy! Time to bring back the best friends and make them more than just that.
i find it funny how you were able to give a better explanation of a comic series and 2 and a half games, than scott cawthon has given from over 10 games, a book series, and a movie.
I kinda like the dynamic of the dev trying to make the most nonsensical story ever, and the fans trying to make sense of it. It's silly and chaotic and I love it.
To me Flumpty's lore is tied to the context of our existence. As in, the "story" and reason for flumpty is very literal; that he's a cartoon figure, made by you, and here I am playing the game made by you, with flumpty who can and will do whatever he wants in this context. My suspension of disbelief playing the nights is more akin to "what if I was really and truly was somehow dragged into the chaos and uncertainty of this lore-less no-reason cartoon". And it's a nightmare, and it's exciting, it's brilliant.
It was cool that you came back to make this video, and explained this. It's cool that you didn't force yourself to put lore in and did what you felt like doing.
Honestly man, this is completely respectable. If anything, I just want to see more funny animations/sketches with Flumpty and Blam. They always make me laugh and really that's all that matters to me. Hell, even then, I just want to see what else you create. Can't Food was brilliant and you are obviously a very gifted game designer. At the end of the day, what you do is in your hands, not ours.
I've heard of the 1st Flumpty game and that's it. Never cared about, never looked into it, never really thought about it unless it popped up, you know? I've never been into FNAF, though I do respect Scott for the work he's put into them, but this video almost peaked my interest into your game. It seems silly and just a fun weird game. To me, you're not only the guy who made the Riddle School series, possibly my favorite point-and-click escape room game series, but a game designer/developer that's created some other fun and neat 2D hand-drawn games I have fun playing. Thank you so much. You're an inspiration and a reminder that you can still create fun 2D games, hand-drawn or not.
To be honest, back when ONAF2 was still big, what I always wanted, instead of like, "BIG LOAR GAME BIG ENDING TO BIG SERIES YES", was just, more Flumpty in general. Hearing about the origins of Flumpty as a comic series and seeing the surviving pieces was great. It was the kind of usage of the characters that I expected out of this rogues gallery of whatever. I like the whole idea of a higher power meta egg man, a square eternal birthday boy straightman, his dapper kinda future self that collects hats that also wants to kill him no matter how much of a paradox it is, and the band of other monstrous weirdos. I like how most of the plot's "depth" includes finding someone's "sense of direction" represented by a giant cartoon arrow. Good horror is one thing and so is good gameplay, but damn did always like the whole concept of Flumpty. It's the kind of humor I like.
I love ONAF to this day BECAUSE of the mechanics, and the silly nature. I feel like the fact that there's only two, makes it even more unique. You didn't go for the "listen to the followers and make 69 more sequels" approach, you did what you wanted! I think Flumpty is stupid and funny as all hell, and my favorite character has to be the Red Men from the looks. I'm glad you haven't fallen into making more sequels because "its what the fans wanted" and I'm glad the games exist to begin with! Hopefully things go well for you, and I hope you're staying safe, healthy, and happy! :)
theory time: when you die and your eyes are prepared like eggs, flumpty hot glues them back together and puts them on the eyesaur because he hasn't anything better to do
I remember all of this stuff from your creator commentaries. Also, I grew up with the Riddle School series so I want you to be happy as well dude. You are incredible!
I love that there isn’t a definitive lore because like you said we get to creat our own fiction surrounding the characters, and I always find that enjoyable :)
I just love watching your developer commentaries. You made my childhood and I thank you for that. I'll try to pursue my dream of game design and drawing. I can't thank you enough your an inspiration to me jonochrome.
I think people love your series so much just cuz the characters are honestly really fun and funny. Honestly another little comic series starring Blam and Flumpty like in those animations would be nice. At least, that’s how I feel.
I didn't even find this channel through ONAF, I found it through Cant Food, which is the best thing ever btw, then I was like "oh this guy also made flumpty's, thats pretty cool". I think that it fits perfectly with the game to not have lore, its great XD.
I feel as if these games are a important lesson. You aren’t owed clarity, especially at the cost of the author’s vision. Flumpty might never live up to your expectations in the end but you must choose what it means to you without forcing them on the material. In my opinion this game was something that you just can’t discredit and I really appreciate this game.
Is something going on with youtube I've had multiple of the channels I've been subscribed to get hacked like this (you know everything gone and some space x live stream the only thing available) just in these past 4 or so months this has all been happening over and over again in quick sucession.
Okay guys. I have an idea. Let’s just make up our own lore. Let’s make a story, and then when it’s done, we can show it to Jonochrome and he can be like, “Wow cool okay bye-bye now” We get our story. He doesn’t. Win-win situation.
Love this explanation. I have to say though, we don’t remember this game fondly just because of Fnaf. This is TIMELESS it feels so iconic and unique in its own right.
Honestly making ‘stories’ without a ‘story’ or ‘lore’ to it is extremely fun. Just randomly adding to things is better than struggling to make sense of things. Especially if people demand of you to make sense of such things. Ex: A bunny shit out an egg and the egg cracked open immediately revealing Obama. Obama then met with his homie Hulk Hogan and they flew to the moon. Sadly on their departure, purple guy fucking died by being launched into a black hole by a group of garden gnomes. Obama and Hogan enjoyed some cake and twister on the moon whilst glancing at the night sky full of the casted remains that which Purple mans corpse spreads across space.

he fooled us all lmao, nothing will ever make any actual sense
If flumpty's immune to the plot that means he's immune to the story so having a story would defeat the purpose of flumpty being immune to the plot
The TL;DR of all Flumpty games is: "Flumpty was bored", that's really as far as any explanation or "lore" goes.

Good horror is one thing and so is good gameplay, but damn did always like the whole concept of Flumpty. It's the kind of humor I like.
The egg behind the slaughter
I love ONAF to this day BECAUSE of the mechanics, and the silly nature. I feel like the fact that there's only two, makes it even more unique. You didn't go for the "listen to the followers and make 69 more sequels" approach, you did what you wanted!
I think Flumpty is stupid and funny as all hell, and my favorite character has to be the Red Men from the looks. I'm glad you haven't fallen into making more sequels because "its what the fans wanted" and I'm glad the games exist to begin with!
Hopefully things go well for you, and I hope you're staying safe, healthy, and happy! :)
I never would've thought that a game about a time-space bending egg would have a story. ANY kind of story.
Honestly I can respect this type of lore, no reason to force a plot into something that isn’t trying have some huge story. It’s just nice
theory time: when you die and your eyes are prepared like eggs, flumpty hot glues them back together and puts them on the eyesaur because he hasn't anything better to do
You just make these likable characters with just a small bit of backstory so it makes me and others want to explore things like their group dynamic.
I absolutely love this series. It's just dumb but fun! We need more games like these. No lore. Just dumb fun :D
The jump scare for Birthday Boy Blam in ONAF 1 is the worst thing for people with that phobia of bunches of holes
Imagine MatPat hearing these words come from Scott.
I remember all of this stuff from your creator commentaries.
Also, I grew up with the Riddle School series so I want you to be happy as well dude. You are incredible!
“Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?”
Flumpty: *looks at empty cardboard box*
"I guess some things are best left empty."
I love that there isn’t a definitive lore because like you said we get to creat our own fiction surrounding the characters, and I always find that enjoyable :)
"With apologies to Nintendo, Winnie the Pooh, Apple, Namco, Coca-Cola, and our founding fathers" omg I'm dead
FNAF LORE: *extremely overcomplicated*
ONAF LORE: just play the game man c'mon
I just love watching your developer commentaries. You made my childhood and I thank you for that. I'll try to pursue my dream of game design and drawing. I can't thank you enough your an inspiration to me jonochrome.
Dang. 3 years later and the last sentence is still deep as heck.
I really like the silly One Week at Flumpty's animations, they give me a good laugh and capture the spirit of what Flumpty is about.
So basically blam has 40% of flumpty's power
I think people love your series so much just cuz the characters are honestly really fun and funny. Honestly another little comic series starring Blam and Flumpty like in those animations would be nice. At least, that’s how I feel.
I like this guy he's really humble and sounds really cool
open ended lore where you can just come up with whatever crap you want is the best lore tbh
I didn't even find this channel through ONAF, I found it through Cant Food, which is the best thing ever btw, then I was like "oh this guy also made flumpty's, thats pretty cool". I think that it fits perfectly with the game to not have lore, its great XD.
This is the reason I loved the games a lot, it was creepy, I liked the art style, and there was no story whatsoever.
A lesson some of the lore chasers could learn from this: Some things don't need to be explained.
I feel as if these games are a important lesson. You aren’t owed clarity, especially at the cost of the author’s vision. Flumpty might never live up to your expectations in the end but you must choose what it means to you without forcing them on the material. In my opinion this game was something that you just can’t discredit and I really appreciate this game.
Rip his account
glad to see flumpty's plot immunity made him immune to losing his plot immunity
I mean, other people are creating one week at flumptys and have been for awhile with pretty good progress and still using your old ideas.
9:18 reminded me of the lyric "That box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you"
Most people: well I guess that’s it
MatPat on crack: Or isss it?!
If there was a box, it would actually just be an egg carton in disguise
Is something going on with youtube I've had multiple of the channels I've been subscribed to get hacked like this (you know everything gone and some space x live stream the only thing available) just in these past 4 or so months this has all been happening over and over again in quick sucession.
You made a solid piece of work that’s why there’s continued interest bro it’s a great project
Okay guys.
I have an idea.
Let’s just make up our own lore.
Let’s make a story, and then when it’s done, we can show it to Jonochrome and he can be like,
“Wow cool okay bye-bye now”
We get our story.
He doesn’t.
Win-win situation.
Love this explanation. I have to say though, we don’t remember this game fondly just because of Fnaf. This is TIMELESS it feels so iconic and unique in its own right.
Honestly making ‘stories’ without a ‘story’ or ‘lore’ to it is extremely fun. Just randomly adding to things is better than struggling to make sense of things. Especially if people demand of you to make sense of such things.
Ex: A bunny shit out an egg and the egg cracked open immediately revealing Obama. Obama then met with his homie Hulk Hogan and they flew to the moon. Sadly on their departure, purple guy fucking died by being launched into a black hole by a group of garden gnomes. Obama and Hogan enjoyed some cake and twister on the moon whilst glancing at the night sky full of the casted remains that which Purple mans corpse spreads across space.
One Night at Flumptys VR
Flumpty’s Rips your eyes out of the sockets in the VR headset.
Now I'm sad boys that eyesaur is never going to show in one week at flumpty's. I assumed he sounded like Nicolas cage
Ok but what does Redman sound like?
I just adore your artwork/ style, how it can simple yet so endearing
Flumpty Bumpty vs Elon Musk who wins
Flup.
Flumpty bumpty
Hey Jonochrome! Big fan of your work with Riddle School and Transfer, and ONaF! Can't wait to see more work from you!
