Bendy Mania (ベンディマニア) is a year old project, using assets and ideals originating from Bendy and the Ink Machine. It had only a few followers, barley any actual content, and lacked the Mania esque. Bendy Mania was developed independently by Bendy(FanDeveloper), also known as "BendyTheDesigner", and "Bendedede." The account later on however wasn't updated, nor was used since November, so it's outdated. He's now currently involved on several fangames, most of them in which was relevant to Retro engine modding previously. Bendy Mania plays exactly towards Sonic Mania, though the difference are the graphics. The game was consistent towards the theme of yellow, holding an excuse that it relied on the "past esque." However, it recieved backlash, so development was held stuck. The sprites lacked most animations and shading was absent. A planned, updated, defentitive version of Bendy Mania is planned, named "Bendy Mania Deluxe ('ベンディマニアデラックス)'", as a counterpart to Sonic Mania Plus. It initinally was planned to follow the color scheme Mario Kart 8 attempted at, creating the idea of "An encore to show it's true colors", referring to zones earning the treatment of colors. It was planned to feature new sprites per character to fit the Mania-esque, new zone ideals, new characters, etc. Development, was harshly held back however, due to personal conflict, so this would be planned to stay absent until December.
Characters[]
The initial idea was to use the good ol' Bendy Trio (Bendy, Boris, & Alice), over Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles. Using their features, it wasn't too concerning to replicate the original's abilities.
'Bendy ('ベンディク "Bendiku") had incredibly similar proportions to Sonic The Hedgehog, so both animations, movement, general abilities, could easily be ported over to Bendy.
'Boris ('ボリス "Borisu"), differed on mass numbers in comparsion to his and Miles "Tails" Prower's proportions. However, the ability thought that came to mind was easy to solve: main features. Boris, however, doesn't have an official dominant feature, but, from different medias, it appeared that his ears, much similar to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, could be utilized for the helicopter mechanic that Tails had as well.
