## *POPGOES Arcade*

### Arcade Room's Skylight

In the intro and the final cutscene of *POPGOES Arcade*, the player is given a look of the Arcade Room, where the arcade machine that the player has been playing is located at, alongside Popgoes the Weasel. However, due to decision in the making of *POPGOES Evergreen* (details in the section below), the developers have decided to remove the skylight lighting style in the room. Thus, the original Arcade Room with the skylight is removed.

This change is currently not made yet, and the original Arcade Room is still not removed. However, Kane Carter stated that this update to the game will come eventually.

### Dawko Demo

In the game file, a text reads "DAWKO DEMO" can be found and is nowhere seen in the game. This text was only used for an exclusive demo made for YouTuber Dawko who was doing a "Color of Change" charity livestream. In the demo, the text "DAWKO DEMO" is shown on the loading screen and on the main menu. While the text on the loading screen is removed, the text on the main menu remains in the game file, for no apparent reason.

## *POPGOES Evergreen*

### Kitchen's Old Version

The Kitchen was revealed to the public on Christmas 2020, showing the look of the room and the props included. However on 11th January 2021, the image of the Kitchen is removed from the Game Jolt page and Twitter, and the reasoning behind this is given on the same day. It was revealed that the props made in the Kitchen were purchased online, and "breaches the terms of the license".

> Although these models were legally purchased and available for commercial use, they were assigned specifically to the modeller, and not me (or Scott), meaning they are completely unusable for POPGOES Evergreen. The fact that the modeller even shared these models with me and the other members is technically illegal, as it breaches the terms of the license that he paid for. Though, none of us knew this.

Due to this legal issue, the Kitchen alongside another room that they hadn't revealed at the time had to be remade. On January 19th, the changes had been done to the Kitchen, and the newer version is revealed once again. However, this "new" version is soon changed again due to the change in lighting style (see below).

### Skylight Lighting

The rooms in *POPGOES Evergreen* were supposed to have skylights, with windows on the ceiling letting natural light into the building. This gives every room an aesthetic of moonlight shining in the rooms. However, after revealing the look of the Kitchen to the public, fans had complained that the lighting made it very hard to make out anything in the room. The development team then soon realized more issues from this lighting style:

* Every room looks similar when the color and style of the lighting is identical.
* It's difficult to balance the brightness of the lighting so that the lighting is bright enough to see the room's contents, but dark enough to realistically be coming from the moon.
* Each room has a unique shape and size, which means the angle, brightness and color of the lighting is difficult to get right in development to keep the consistency.
* A subtle "night cycle" was planned for the game, in which the color of the lighting, and the sky in the right view window, changes based on player's progress. Using skylight means every cameras are affected, and would be a very complicating process.
* The soft lighting and the shadows from the window frame makes it hard to make parts of the room out.

After deciding to remove the skylight, the development team had two alternative plans, the first being "emergency lights" that existed in the light bulbs of each room, with dim, possibly color-coded sources of light in the center of each environment. The second alternative is to add flashlights to each camera. Eventually, they decided on the latter, as not only it solved the aforementioned problems, but it's also very suitable for a horror game, and even goes parallel to *Five Nights at Freddy's 2* (as in this universe, Fritz Glade who is the owner of The Popgoes Pizzeria worked as the night guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in FNaF 2).

### Popbin's Old Model

On April 3rd 2021, Kane Carter posted an image of Popbin, a novelty trash can that would appear in the game. Because of the modeler who made it no longer in the team, the Popbin had to be remade, and the old model would be scrapped. The new model would later be revealed with a primarily different design.

## *One Night at Flumpty's 2*

### Pink-Colored Pig

Due to copyright reasons, the Piglet from *Winnie the Pooh* that was present in the office had to be replaced. The original replacement was a pink-colored pig with white wings, which was a reference to the same pig appearing in *Riddle School*, one of Jonochrome's projects. However, Scott Cawthon was afraid it still has a possibility of violating copyright issues, and requested another change just to be sure. Eventually, the pig changed its color to purple.
