There is also another reason There are like 50 animatronics
-
UCN is more of a strategy game than a scary game
-
At least springtrap got a better jumpscare
-
That’s the way that electronic shake when they jump scare you
-
That's not true at all lol. The jumpscares are animated that way because Scott had too many animatronics to animate, and the reason they're low quality is not because of "game crashes" but to maintain low file size/memory in game.
-
The Chica, Springtrap, Nightmare Chica and Lefty jumpscares are actually pretty good imo
-
I mean UCN really doesn’t try be scary, it’s purely just the gameplay of fnaf
-
I like to think the jumpscares aren’t as scary because they don’t want to 100% kill purple guy, but instead always have him teetering on the edge of life for eternity in the purgatory that is UCN
-
I’d argue the ones from the 1st game look just as goofy as the ones in UCN, they look like the animatronics are having a seizure, aside from Foxy who despite being the most aggressive animatronic, literally just leans into the office. At least UCN is trying to be more funny than scary.
-
Thats why we need a remake on a more powerful system
-
Ultra Custom Night has still jumpscares due to the roster
-
All the characters look like they are drunk bro 💀
-
I think it is becuse so that you don't have hight blood-pressure when playing ucn a lot since you get jump-scared ALL OF THE TIME
-
Yeah those jumpscares suck but somehow better than Banban’s
-
Springtrap in FNaF 3: "you got games on ur phone?" Springtrap in UCN: drunk
-
The real reason is because they are just PNGs Shaking
-
Bro they just shake like there high or have a seizure
-
The fact that the jumpscares are just a shaking jpeg image just shows how lame they are
-
We got foxy having a spasm before gta 6

This is an EXTREME oversimplification. The games were made in Clickteam Fusion, a very old engine that has an unoptimised language and can only export as a 32bit exe file. This means that it can only utilise 4gb of ram, aswell as some other odd restrictions, and being combined with the bad programming language, that can fill up fast. Scott had to make a lot of the graphics look really bad to accommodate for this so he could fit all the animatronics in the game. If he used a more capable game engine, he could've definitely fit all of the quality he wanted in all 50 animatronics with the same system requirements.
