Agony Arena

Agony Arena was a Creepypasta-themed Roblox battlegrounds game "directed" by Francis with coding and art done by a handful of other unpaid developers.

Premise

Early model of "Shucks." Likely the furthest he progressed before the project was abandoned.

Battlegrounds is a Roblox subgrenre which is essentially a 3D fighting game, in which players fight each other with Overwatch-style charged abilities in destructible environments. The original Battlegrounds game was The Strongest Battlegrounds, whose basic mechanics became would become the basis of the subgenre. Most games in the subgenre are nearly identical, with Agony Arena's main 'hook' being that its cast consisted of Creepypasta and Creepypasta-inspired characters, including Sonic.EXE, Mario 85, and Shucks, an SML character created by SlingMingo.

Trivia

• One of the terms of the "deal" with LiquidChungus was that he would use the original FallenChungus account to advertise Agony Arena. This never happened.
• 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.
