Scott Cawthon

Scott Braden Cawthon (born July 26th 1971) is a game developer and the original creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, a horror multimedia franchise that spans both games and books.

Description
Born in Houston, Texas, Scott got his start by creating simple indie games and assisting with Chrsitian animations. However when his game Chipper and Sons Lumber Co. was criticised for having eerie and almost animatronic-like characters, Scott ran with the idea to create a horror point-and-click game called Five Nights at Freddy's. The game would become a viral phenomenon, with many Let's Players on Youtube playing the game and reacting to it. With that, Scott Cawthon continued to add to the mythos with games, books and a film on the horizon.

Trivia

 * On June 16, 2021 Scott Cawthon made a statement on his website, scottgames.com in which after reflecting on the last few years, he decided to retire from video game development in order to concentrate on taking care of his family. He clarified that this would not be the end of the FNAF franchise, but that he would soon pass the development to someone he trusts.
 * When making the first Five Nights at Freddy's, Bonnie was the only animatronic to actually scare Scott.
 * Coincidentally, when rendering Quiet Hours, Phil was scared by a frame of Bonnie staring at the camera after turning his monitor back on upon returning from dinner.
