* One of the terms of the "deal" with [[Liquidchungus|LiquidChungus]] was that he would use the original FallenChungus account to advertise Agony Arena. This never happened because the game never came out.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/francis-joseph-benditt-iv-fallenchungus-datsmojo-mojo-thatsmojo-agony-arena-dunkbunko-datsactuallymojo-noircaveat.196329/post-20063435</ref> | |||
* Francis attempted to get Femtanyl, an (in)famous troon musician, to write music for Agony Arena. This collaboration fell through after Femtanyl stopped responding to Francis' DMs.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/francis-joseph-benditt-iv-fallenchungus-datsmojo-mojo-thatsmojo-agony-arena-dunkbunko-datsactuallymojo-noircaveat.196329/post-19428036</ref> | |||
* The Agony Arena page on the original FallenChungus Wiki was written by AI and contained almost no useful information about the game. View an archive of the page [https://web.archive.org/web/20250212162308/https://fallenchungus.fandom.com/wiki/Agony_Arena here]. | |||
* A .rbxl project file for the game dated 9/12 can be found [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hYkCUpldwaR7yGeCvXoKxg6WQDNiKcsK/view here]. (Offsite archive forthcoming) | |||
