Source Macchiato is an independent French video game development collective founded in 2022, specializing in porting and creating titles for the Nintendo Wii U. Initially formed around an unofficial remake of Portal, the group became known in 2023 for its release of FNaF: Wii U Edition[1], a homebrew recreation of Five Nights at Freddy's. Since then, Source Macchiato has expanded its activities to include original narrative projects and collaborations with other developers within the Wii U homebrew scene. The group primarily uses the Unity engine to produce games aimed at extending the console’s independent development ecosystem.
History
[edit]Source Macchiato was formed in 2022 by Alyx Lihoreau under the name Portal Wii U Team to develop a Wii U demo of Portal using the Unity engine.[2] A first public video showing early development was posted by Alyx Lihoreau on December 9th 2022.[3]
In April 2023 Alexis L. (online alias shiro-SATA) joined the project and later became part of the group's leadership. Shortly after the demo release the team rebranded as Source Macchiato.[2]
In late 2023 Source Macchiato began work on a Wii U remake of Five Nights at Freddy's and released that project on December 5th 2023. Omar Hasaballa joined around the same period as lead game designer and Italian translator.[1]
