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.

In November 2024 during his Ϫth DFE crashout, the Discord server for the game was deleted, and the project was cancelled in favor of Printern.

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 mechanics became would become the basis of the subgenre. Most games in the subgenre are nearly identical, with Agony Arena's selling point being that its cast consisted of Creepypasta and Creepypasta-inspired characters, including Sonic.EXE, Mario 85, and Shucks, an SML character created by SlingMingo.

Little else is known about the gameplay, because the project was shitcanned before anything substantial could be released.

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 because the game never came out.
• 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.
• 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 here.
• The project file for the game can be found here. (Offsite archive forthcoming)
