“One Night at Flumpty’s has no lore.” ... Makes sense.

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.

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

The most important question is “Did BBB enjoy Ground Hog Day with JPG compression?

5:39 Answers to these questions 1. Boy age 2. The wall 3. Because knives are his feet sometimes 4. Flumpty is an egg 5. In game maker studios 6. Flumpty but golden

Five nights at freddy’s is probably coming back due to the “man behind the slaughter” and “was that the bite of ‘87?” Memes.

Legit my "lore" is Flumpty is god and you better start praying

"Not every story has to have significance yknow sometimes a story is just a story. You try to read into every little thing and find meaning in anything anyone says, you'll just drive yourself crazy. Had a friend do it once, wasn't pretty, we talked about it for years. Not only that but you'll likely end up beleiving something you shouldn't beleive and thinking something you shouldn't think or assuming something you shouldn't assume, y'know?

I can see matpat salivating already, "SOLVING The OnaF TIMELINE!"

flumpty bumpty is a egg that can trascend time and space and all that... that’s cool and all... But does flumpty eat eggs?

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.

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 :)

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.

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

Jonoachrome, "aint no lore here." Theorist, " Hes just trying to throw us off the scent!!!" Other people, " No lore.... neat. Game was fun tho."

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 can’t believe elon musk himself personally decided to hack the jonochrome youtube channel

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!_

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.

Hey Jonochrome. Love your games! One Night at Flumptys is one of the best FNAF fan games.

Jonochrome: "I'm done with ONAF." Everyone: "Make more ONAF videos, please." Jonochrome: "Okay."

I feel like “flumpty canon” is an oxymoron.

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)

The reason it’s still getting talked about it’s good

Love how you accidentally synced the word "past" with where Flumpty gets up in Blam's face at 0:11

I think the final message being "The answers are your fiction" is really powerful.

Sometimes a story is just a story...

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.

my favorite part of the entirety of this series is flumpty’s voice. you’re fucking amazing at that.

The fnaf 4 box has nothing inside it guys, it’s tru-

In my head all the characters are just there, we dont know how they git there or what they are they just ate

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.

If One Night at Flumpty’s had any lore, i’d expect it to be some bizarre anime plot with friendship involved in it.

Thanks to scotts fazbear multiverse, we maybe getting a new game.

"because the answers to those questions are your fiction" Me: remembers the "weird" side of the community Also me: *SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW*

I feel like the only lore is Flumpty does whatever the hell he wants. Period.

huh. even this video isn’t canon anymore. oh, how the turntables.

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.

Birthday Boy Blam is infinite years old because every day is his birthday, forever. Except Tuesday.

The egg behind the slaughter

This game will always be my favorite. It’s just one of those things we’re you just wonder and question something that never has and never will have an answer. It’s literally up to what the fans see in the games themselves. I’ve been a huge fan of you’re work since I played the whole ‘Riddle School’ series. I can’t wait to see what you’ll make in the future, whether it’s an animation or game!

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

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 :)

Thanks Space X, awesome content

Rip his account

This man straight up reconnected his entire non-existent story and the death of his main character.

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.

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.

The TL;DR of all Flumpty games is: "Flumpty was bored", that's really as far as any explanation or "lore" goes.

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.

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

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.

"No, you cant just break the laws of space and time" "Haha fourth wall break go brrr"

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.

Onaf was one of the first fan games I've ever seen, and I think it's perfect. You are amazing and talented. =)

Ayyyyyy, more Flumpty content.

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 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!

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P Lovecraft

“Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?”

Imagine MatPat hearing these words come from Scott.

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.

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.

Spoiler: Nothing is supposed to make sense. You’ve been trolled for 5 years. Move on.

glad to see flumpty's plot immunity made him immune to losing his plot immunity

9:18 reminded me of the lyric "That box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you"

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.

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

Jonathan, you know what just occured to me, possibly 3 or 4 years too late? Eyesaur and eyesore.

So, head canons are now canon, but can be retconned. Neat. I do love these creepy yet funny characters you made and how it impacted the FNaF community as one of the best fan games ever made about an egg that has god powers and wants to be your friend by risking death with his other friends. It cool series.

I never would've thought that a game about a time-space bending egg would have a story. ANY kind of story.

speaking of headcannons, it is my headcannon that in one night at flumpty's one, you are flumpty's mailman, there is no reason for this, you just are

As much as I enjoy media that has an ongoing plot with story and character arcs, ONAF is one of my favorite FNAF fan games of all time. Having to worry about the threat of death by egg instead of trying to wrap your head around the potential story is a nice change of pace.

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 mean, other people are creating one week at flumptys and have been for awhile with pretty good progress and still using your old ideas.

Flumpty Bumpty vs Elon Musk who wins

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.

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.

I absolutely love this series. It's just dumb but fun! We need more games like these. No lore. Just dumb fun :D

I like this guy he's really humble and sounds really cool

Dang. 3 years later and the last sentence is still deep as heck.

Thank you so much for clearing things up for the fans!! Im excited to see what they come up with since you have essentially given us free reign over what happens next in the nonexistent lore. Lets fill thaf box up fellas!!

Most people: well I guess that’s it MatPat on crack: Or isss it?!

A lesson some of the lore chasers could learn from this: Some things don't need to be explained.

1:37 Keven Jr plays Tf2

The jump scare for Birthday Boy Blam in ONAF 1 is the worst thing for people with that phobia of bunches of holes

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 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.

Expanding on the retcon point, I think that if you do end up changing your mind, I'd say completely reboot and rebuild a story around these base characters that you already have. Completely disregard ideas that could've led somewhere and just make new ones if you do decide that you want to. BUT that's ultimately up to you, and I wish you luck in whatever your decide to do

Flumpty: *looks at empty cardboard box* "I guess some things are best left empty."

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.

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! :)

Who is here after Scott contacted him and now he’s making One Night At Flumpty’s 3? It may not be a week but it’s a night!

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.

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

Hey Jonochrome! Big fan of your work with Riddle School and Transfer, and ONaF! Can't wait to see more work from you!

I’d feel if Flumpty did have lore the game would lose its identity like a spoiled egg

Let's just say that flumpty is a god.
