Warning for blood/very mild gore below. (Refs of the Victims as ghosts)

OUGHHH that's honestly a question i've pondered a LOt when thinking of a fangame for Jemmy's Diner. It's vey tough but this is what i got so far! (Note: i am no pro at how games should work, so bear with me LOL)

For what the animatronics would do...

Jemmy: Jemmy is the smartest of the group and the most talkative. Jemmy can remember where you are and chase you down until you hide in a closet. In the fangame's story, the robots have long since corroded so Jemmy's metal wings are exposed and they can inflict damage! But because he is talkative, he is easy to avoid by listening.

Polly: Polly is almost the opposite of Jemmy. She can easily lose you and does not check for hiding spots. She is also talkative- not as much as Jemmy, though- so she's easy to avoid as well. But don’t understimate her! Polly can set up traps around the Diner to slow down the protagonist.

Amireille: Amireille has a somewhat role to the Puppet, in a way? She does not come off of her rock if you play her music, and like Puppet, if you don’t play the music in time- Amireille will get off of her rock and begin chasing you around like the others. She isn’t that much of a threat as she crawls quite slowly, due to having a fish tail and having to carry her own weight. However, she can easily take you out if you hide in a place she can easily get you.

Markus: Markus is THE slowest of the group. But he deals the most damage out of everyone with his size and claws! He is the most silent out of everyone, sl he can easily take you aback by surprise and dezl massive damage! Just like Jemmy, Markus won’t let you go unless you hide in a hiding spot to get them off your feet.

Annsie: She is probaaaably the most annoying to deal with, in my opinion. Annsie is the fastest of the bunch, and she's capable of alerting the others by crying really loudly. Any item you picked up can be stolen by her, and she will place it somewhere else to inconvenience you. However, she does not attack as the moment you look at her, she immediately scurries away until your turn your back.

Not giving actors the ENTIRE SCRIPT because of constant fear of leak. Leaks have happened regardless. Fine don't let them leave with the script. But give them the WHOLE SCRIPT to read to understand WHERE the story is going. Unless they're only in one scene. Telling CHARACTER-driven stories, not big-scale insanity. You can tell a good, grounded story.

Get the right people to write and tell those stories. if you want a legal drama, hire someone who knows that. If you want a story with superhero geopolitics, hire a writer who's worked on political shows.

Ignoring and/or insulting comics creators and comics experts. Like holy shit. Comics creators can and do make GOOD tv and movie writers, and vice versa. Marc Guggenheim, Allan Heinberg, JMD, and others have all done comics and TV, and film. They understand how to ADAPT a story to film and television.

Disregard character backstories and what makes them unique and interesting, to force them into a thing just because social media will freak out cause X character that they know is in it, even though they're a complete 180, to the point of irrationality, compared to their comics counterpart. There's a difference between adapting and cutting to pieces.
