🎤 GophEngine

English 🇺🇸 | Slovenčina 🇸🇰

Status: work-in-progress

GophEngine is a Go implementation of Friday Night Funkin' v0.2.7.1 with improvements.

Note

This is a mod. This is not the vanilla game and should be treated as a modification.

Why?

I created GophEngine for several reasons:

• To develop an easy-to-use Go modding API for Friday Night Funkin', similar to MinecraftForge but for FNF.
• To fix issues in the vanilla FNF engine and add new features and improvements.
• To foster a positive and non-toxic community around the game supporting Boyfriend fans and avoiding anti-Boyfriend sentiments, without the toxic community and developers.
• To remove violent NSFL content introduced in FNF v0.3.2, and create a cleaner version of the game.
• To rewrite Friday Night Funkin' in Go, my favorite programming language.

Why Go?

Go is my favorite programming language, and I prefer it over learning Haxe.

Features

• Enhanced privacy with no Newgrounds integration
• Entirely written in Go with little to no Haxe
• Family-friendly and welcoming to Boyfriend fans (no NSFW/L content)
• Small tweaks and optimizations for a smoother and more enjoyable experience
• A proper options menu for better customization
• Robust Go modding API for easy modification

Naming

The name "GophEngine" combines "Goph" (representing Gopher, the Go programming language mascot) and "Engine" (representing the FNF engine). It felt more natural and fitting for this project than "funkin-go."
