FNF. Friday night Funkin’. If you’ve played the game and been through its journey of mods and catchy updates, you know what addiction means.
If you’ve never heard of it before , Friday Night Funkin’ is a rhythm game programmed by Ninjamuffin99 with soundtrack by Kawai Sprite and artwork by PhantomArcade and evilsk8r. It can be downloaded from Itch.io website for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux devices or played on Newgrounds for free.
The premise of the game is simple. The player takes on the role of Boyfriend, a wannabe rapper, who is trying to win the heart of Girlfriend. However, her ex-rockstar father, Daddy Dearest, viciously disapproves of their relationship. The catch here is that the father is not the only character who will get in your way, behold, the Corrupt Pico Vs Mom mod!!!.
A YouTuber who goes by the name of phantom fear has uploaded a video showing an early glimpse of this mod that he’s been developing and plans to release an early access version of it when his channel hits 100k subscribers(it’s currently at 99.1k, by the way).
The mod features an intensely creepy lemon demon version of the boyfriend (Corrupt Pico) and the girlfriend from the week 5 Christmas update. This time, the sing off is with the mom, and the music is LOUD, trust me.
Standard FNF controls apply, using arrows to perform your actions , watching the score bar, making sure your girlfriend’s mom doesn’t turn the tides against you and most importantly, going “pa pi pi pa pa pi pi”.
The lemon demon first, now this. These happenings are indicative of the immense involvement of the gaming community with FNF and the potential this game holds for the future, where players can create and edit mods according to their liking and share it with others.
The comment section for the video teasing this mod is filled with anticipation regarding its release and also has an interesting take on why pico shot himself. Discord and reddit communities are also lighting up with messages and forum discussions on phantom fear’s work. This release looks like it will be well received throughout the FNF community and will be the standard, the upcoming mods will have to live up to.
