'''Printern | '''Printern''' is a Roblox RNG game creatively produced ([[Ideas Guy|Idea Guy]])'d By [[Francis Joseph Benditt IV|Francis]], while being entirely produced by [[Cazz]] and crew. After the events of the [[Frankpocalypse]], Printern is being led by Cazz and crew<ref>https://discord.com/invite/printern</ref><ref>https://ko-fi.com/starveldt</ref>, with all mojo designs and stuff being scrubbed and replaced, effectively erasing him out his own game.

This | googuguag </blockquote>Yes, Frank's original idea for the team he gathered was to make a fucking Invincible Battlegrounds game. This call was likely not the most fruitful aside from everyone saying they didn't want to make a Battlegrounds game because nobody cared. The days between March 26th and March 28th were more of him inviting people, despite a game still being in its "brainstorm" phase, meaning he was getting people on the team without a scope or occupation for them to fulfill. | ||

There was another call on March 28th where the game and group's names originated from, alongside the game's idea; the idea that further developed into the abysmal overzealous conglomerate that was his vision. Printern was originally hosted under the group Full Of It Studios<ref>https://www.roblox.com/communities/35800598/Full-Of-It-Studios</ref>, which he held under agonyarenafan<ref>https://www.roblox.com/users/7383830376/profile</ref> — the same account that owns THE PIT STUDIO. Established a few hours after the call, the name was fabricated from spitballing via Cazz, despite Francis being the head [[Ideas Guy]] of the team, showing that any role he had could've been replaced by literally anyone. | |||

The first post about Printern was on March 29th, when he posted about one of his gay castrated code slaves making a script that grabs random marketplace decals.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/francis-joseph-benditt-iv-fallenchungus-datsmojo-mojo-thatsmojo-agony-arena-dunkbunko-datsactuallymojo-noircaveat.196329/post-20956936</ref> This rode off the coattails of his last 'aped game, [[Agony Arena]], so naturally some people were sceptical. He described it as a game with cubicles where your job is to be a literal wagie in the matrix and print images while dealing with spine tingling slow burn psychological horror. | The first post about Printern was on March 29th, when he posted about one of his gay castrated code slaves making a script that grabs random marketplace decals.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/francis-joseph-benditt-iv-fallenchungus-datsmojo-mojo-thatsmojo-agony-arena-dunkbunko-datsactuallymojo-noircaveat.196329/post-20956936</ref> This rode off the coattails of his last 'aped game, [[Agony Arena]], so naturally some people were sceptical.

Following the [[Frankpocalypse]], [[Cazz]] took over the project as the sole director, stating they wanted to continue development in spite of Francis. As of September 2025, development is ongoing with occasional progress updates posted in the 'Cord. | |||
On May 17 2025, the immediate first action taken after ousting Francis was to redesign various characters and generally rework the game's artstyle. Since Francis didn't really contribute anything, paving over his work was more or less trivial. Throughout the rest of May, WIP art would regularly be posted. | |||
On May 19, Cazz started a Ko-Fi fundraiser with a goal of $1500, intending to actually pay the devs this time. The campaign raised $850 in the first five hours, and reached its goal on June 6. | |||
On July 24, Cazz posted a progress update stating that development had recently slowed down due to outside obligations, but building is ~70% done, modeling is ~50% done, and scripting is ~30% done. | |||
The most recent update was September 4, showing off a day/night cycle system. <gallery> | |||
