nice triangles
No, their circles lmao
Rectangles!

Scott making a fourth game just because the jumpscare in the third game sucked really shows how passionate for his community he was. I really do miss him.
He really made a whole other game to have his pretty woman moment 💀💀
Facts
@@Pissnation acceptable lmao
I miss him too
Id eat scott tbh. Idk the blue energy looks edible
The fact that the first four games were all released in under a year is honestly crazy
I’ve never understood how that was achieved
@@jasonquinlan1733 They are all extremely simply made, and there's huge overlap in assets.
@@Bobo-ox7fj
Eh tbh he should have milked it, the franchise ran out of steam fucking quickly.
@@samueljones3668 my guy, Scott launched 4 games in less than a year, then we got Sister Location, World (World's cannon, fight me about it), Pizzeria Simulator, UCN, an entire saga of books and then Scott sold the franchise to Steel Wool which eventually created Fnaf Help Wanted, Help Wanted's DLC, Security Breach and the DLC for Security Breach, Scott singlehandedly kept the community in hype for over 5 years and got enough money to retire with a total of 10 games, 2 DLCs and a saga of books, if that's not milking the saga Idk what it is
i understand your point, but i think samuel was just talking about the first 4@@xd-xt2cn
I never understood the backlash behind FnaF World. I always thought of it as the cutesy RPG parallel to the horror focused main games. It made me feel bad for Scott when he said he really enjoyed making RPGs and I was sad that the first time he tried to make one with his name out there, it was hated on to the point of being ignored and relegated to being another website for teasers, even if it was really cool that Scott used the website like that.
Yeah. While I see how FNaF World was flawed, I still love it to this day. It is like, the only instance where you can play with the Characters without almosty dying, too.
In that sense, it kinda makes me want to see more of that side. We only ever see the animatronics doing scary things, but we have never seen the actual characters. Like, the in-world characters, the unpossessed and unbuggy ones.
I feel like the hate was largely manufactured, secondhand smoke from Scott's own dissatisfaction with it. Never met a fan who hated it, personally
Yeah it wasn't really hated after Scott fixed it and released it on gamejolt. Scott was the one who was extremely vocal about how terrible he thought it was.
I really enjoyed my playthrough of fnaf world lol
fnaf world was my favourite tbh, the music went unbelievably hard
I like to think that Scott always wanted to stick to the release dates, but was always genuinely just so excited to release the games every time he finished them so he just dropped them the moment he was done 😂
wholesome
@@matthew-ph6xo Indeed
He actually confirmed in dawko interview that he didn’t want to keep the fans waiting for something that was already finished, also stating he ain’t some big company
LMAO thats why i love him he's so nice
Scott: "Hey guys! Game comes out in five months!"
Fans: "YOOOO CAN'T WAIT!"
Scott: "Oh, you can't wait?"
Fans: "Wait no."
Scott: "HAVE IT NOW!"
lmaaaooo
🤓
@@cheesemanexe116shut up
I bet Scott's a cool guy irl
Fans: YOOO CAN'T WAIT!
Scott: say no more.
If you remember "Mike kill all" foxy screaming "Freedom" and Springtrap being called "Salvage", you deserve a veteran discount.
I only remember mike kill all and springtrap beign called savage, never ever had discouvered about foxy screaming freedom
I remember Mike kill all and freedom but not springtrap being called Salvage. Why did they call him that though?
@@DOUDA6I think I remember springtrap being called Salvage; It was based on the parts box trailer, where people thought that Springtrap would be an amalgamation of the animatronics from the last two games all melded into one
@@casualtrainwreck7520 thx
@@jao9712 people used to think the fnaf 2 jumpscare sound was actually the animatronics saying "freedom"
I am just now realizing how much of a madman scott cawthon was when it came to the release of each game and how fast he programmed each game
Ikr. And not even just programming the games, but also designing and modeling all the maps and characters by himself. The dude is literally a workaholic.
Unlike a certain cum chalice man
@@bossman-jk9tlthe maps are just png but the carachter modeling and how he came up so fast with the carachters designs is just incredible
@@nnhofantasiah12 The maps are technically screenshots/renders of 3d modeled environments as well
He didnt program anything, he didn't write any code, he used the Clickteam Engine, which is a no-code engine, im not saying he's a bad developer tho.
His style was still present in the first Security Breach trailer, the way the animatronics boot up, moving stiffly like, well, animatronics and their red eyes piercing through darkness; the static bright text between cuts, etc... I still wish we could see, what the "real" Security Breach would have been like.
sadly the game is rushed because of fans didnt like delays. and worst part is. Playstation rushing steelwool, a small company that is creating a big game got rushed by playstation for wanting it to release on christmas and for state of play thing for 2021
@@vaneraze8685 so...sony rushed steelwool.
The trailer looked spectacular.
Then the full game tho...
And then the ruin dlc save Security Breach
@@Mr.Feather130 it didnt lol
Really makes me realize that these teasers are what is really really missing from modern fnaf. They hyped up the game, contained lore and were great attention buildiers. It was such a great time when these teasers were coming out
what's also missing from the modern games is..well just about everything from the original fnaf
at this point the series has deviated so much from what it was that freddy in space isn't even a joke
even if they brought back the teasers, i doubt they would work
hype worked because the final product could keep up to it
Yeah, I miss the days
Hype because it still had a story to tell. Now it's just milking the fnaf name
we're also missing the stupid unsolvable lore that most of us loved.
steel wool made the crucial mistake of being _reasonable_ (cringe) and not leaving any loose ends or unsolved questions in FNAF SB.
scott almost never did that {until FFPS} and left a lot of unsolved mysteries. for example, we still don't know what was in the box.
i remember people giving daily updates on the tiniest changes on the teaser site and i remember the community eating up every single theory. it was awesome to experience live.
same
Same, i remember the firsts 3 years of fnaf and it was the best time of my life, remember when everyone called william vincent?
Hell yeah man
Discussing every new piece of info with my friends in school was fun. Like during gym class, we'd be playing volleyball while also talking about how weird Nightmare Foxy's tongue was in that one teaser picture
@@jao9712 if that was best time of your life just because of that, you must really have sad life
I love how Scott handled criticism. Instead of letting it get to him, Scott actually improves his work substantially. Just as how they called Chipper ‘creepy’ that led to him developing FNAF 1 and the community not happy about Springtrap’s jumpscare leading to FNAF 4
i genuinely hope the people that called chipper creepy’s pillows are always cold on both sides and get a huge smooch from their crushes
It's honestly sad to see Scott retire but at least he's happy now. And I'd also like to say all the people who sent death threats to Scott are pathetic and a disgrace to the fnaf fandom. Thank you Scott for the great video game franchise Five nights at Freddy's
Yeah, it's people who just enjoy attacking others to boost their own egos
Back then, you could ask your friends "Hey, have you seen the new Five Nights At Freddy's teaser?" And they would respond with "What is Five Nights At Freddy's?"
Asking that nowadays would get you a response like: “You like that 6 year old kids game? It’s not even scary” or “What’s Five Nights At Freddy’s?”
@@StarryKitty18 probably most people would say “what’s five nights at Freddy’s?” But yeah, some people would say “that baby game???? It’s not scary at all, and it never was in the first place.”
@@MiloMurphysLaw I guarantee you most of those people haven't even properly played the game themselves.
Baby game? they should see rainbow friends or garten of banban💀💀💀
yea i was in elementary 4th grade and my friend asked me on the bus if i knew what it was and said pewdiepie played it and i went home and it looked up, this was in 2014, its insane how time flies
17:27 yo i remember this. This made me sad until people started brightning up the image and found out Scott was just trolling. Scott is a devious lil mf bro
I remember these mainly cause you knew Scott was just going to release the whole game like a week later because he didn’t feel like waiting until the actual release date.
It's still crazy to me that this man made like five games in the span of a year.
Scott Cawthon is truly the ideal game developer to look up on. even when he thought his game developing
career is over, he tried again and saw success. No other game developer got me attached like Scott Cawthon did.
Agreed the goat
That’s why his the Goat
And best part is the fact that he actually respects fnaf fans and fangame developers
to me he is the best indie developer ever. The way he is connected to the fanbase, the way he supports other creators like in the fanverse. I never heard of any other big company supporting fangames with their own money, they just take them down or something like that. Although the fanverse had some controversy it was never from scott himself, it was just some greedy people... He is not perfect, none of us are, but he sure tried to be his best to the community.
@@Daiyamaruu Scott Cawthorn really left a impact on 6 Yr old brains, to the fact that a lot of us looks up to him. I hope Steel Wool continues Scott's legacy... Hopefully?...
It was shockingly easy for Scott to develop sequels. The programming is very simple to modify, reducing sequel development to just some texture swaps. It's also why fangames were so common
He also even said that he's willing to fund these fan games
it's not that it's just down to texture swap. it's just that he already had a clear idea of how to do things after the first game and the mechanics aren't that complicated. If I were scott, I'd probably restart from scratch for each game because I feel like it would get confusing having to change everything (renaming existing stuff, changing the camera layout and animatronic behaviour, etc...)
Since he knew what to do, he didn't spend much time thinking about how to optimize things better, which most likely saved a lot of time.
The one thing that must've taken a long time were the 3D models. Those look like they took a while to model and texture. I truly admire his dedication. (I'm thinking mostly about fnaf 2, 3 and 4. Fnaf 1 animatronics were pretty simple in design)
@@u731his creativity is impressive, like, really.
He's clearly still talented.
@@SalveASMR what you said
I am still amazed that the very first 4 games of this series came out all within a year. 2014-2015, and now in 2023 we’re getting a movie. Crazy
Having to be around to witness FNAF's birth all the way to Scott's retirement almost 10 years later really made me feel a bit old but also special. I was around when only small bits of the lore was present and many fantheories were treated as canon like William being called Vincent cuz nobody knew his real name and that he really loves toast. Or that Springtrap is actually a good guy and his jumpscare says ,,help me" ,,forgive me" or that the phantoms are to warn you of him. Heck even those old animations were good and nostalgic. I miss the era of the first three games when there was no fourth game yet
Scott's Retirement was a truly impactful event for the game franchise, but I understand his side, Scott is an example of a real game developer.
Understand what side? Groomer democrat pedos threatened his kids because he happens to not vote democrat. You know one of 2 parties in the US he supported the other one that was his grand crime.
Im still mad about the reason he retired. How selfish and disgusting our community was to do such a thing like that is unfathomable.
@@snessi_land they did all that just over politics
@Mica Hepworth It wasn't just politics, he was literally donating his money to very homophobic and transphobic causes that actively affect people's lives.
@@NoodleNerd LOL no pedo groomer... he donated to politicians mitch McConnell Donald Trump Tulsi gabbard. The only organizations we know he's donated to is the American heart association and st judes children hospital.
OK groomer? OK pedo?
Scott’s way of capitalizing on FNAF’s success was genius. I remember how hyped everyone was during FNAF 1-4. The man knew his fan base and he was able to make the most of that.
others too
True
The fact this all happened in between basically 3 years amazes me
im not ashamed to admit the ending with Scott's letter to the community made me cry like a baby. I've been revisiting fnaf a lot these days and it feels like im going back into my childhood. Thank you Scott, i truly think my life would be different without this franchise.
The biggest part of what made fnaf so pervasive was scotts unending persistence. The sheer speed that he was able to make these games really kept the momentum the first game had, and kept the theory community alive and fresh, which itself kept the game itself alive in a self feeding loop. Very smart marketing mixed with an unbelieveable work ethic
Mhm, I am glad he slowed things down though. Maintaining that work rate must have been hell
@@C0astDelta I'm sure the paychecks well made up for the amount of work lol
@@Dr-Pip i mean like for sureee he's like the mario of horror right now loool King of horror games for sure.
@@gelatogremlin Alright slow your horses, he is definitely not the king of horror. Is fnaf one of the best horror games ever? Ever made possibly? Definitely yes.
@@whenyounutinhermouthandshe so the god of horror?
7:37 The 'hybrid' / Salvage theory was kind of important back in the day. No one knew what Springtrap was or even his name at this point. The teaser with the animatronic parts with it's text of "what can we use?" made many people theorise that the new tattered looking animatronic was made of scrap pieces (kind of like Ennard or better yet Scrap Baby) and fans were calling it Salvage.
Edit: Are you happy? I fixed Ennard's name
haha i remember thinking that and making my own drawings of it
I still stand by the fact that Salvage would be a great name for an Animatronic
E m m e r d
I remember my friends & I thinking that Salvage sounded way cooler than Springtrap lol
I believe Markiplier kind of made this more present in his playthrough saying something along the lines of "it takes this from bonnie and this from foxy"
i've kept this pfp for 1-2 years and i don't think i'll ever change it
18:50
I swear to god as soon as you said "with this" my monitor turned off for no reason.
The timing was impeccable, to the point that it kinda scared me.
Glad to see that Scott is still heavily involved with the franchise, especially with the movie. He is co-producer and co-writer in it.
Yeah, but it will never be the same sadly.
@@mysterystainontherug6290 I know and it's sad
@@FrancoITA505 huh?
@@FrancoITA505 how do you know that? did you some leak or some god damn how pirated it? cause the trailer doesn't have much to go on do argue if it will have to do with the story or not.
@@FrancoITA505 that doent mean she cant be tied in somehow washout messing with the story.
I was in 7th grade during 2014-2015 school year (I am now a 3rd year college engineering student for context). There was nothing like going to school after the teasers/trailers dropped and discussing with my friends in between classes and at lunch. The hype was so real for us, wish I could relive those moments
How if I was in 6th I’m a freshman in college
Hey, I'm close to your age! I believe the first one came out when I was in 8th grade. I'm graduating in May of this year and am student teaching.
Hello are you me
Well, very few things really improved since then
@@atanaZion 🤓
18:30 Such a missed opportunity to have the bottom line at the corner say “Are you ready for Funtime Freddy?”
Man this game was absolutely bone rattling to me back then. I was in 5th grade when fnaf 1 came out and played on my iPad. Me and my buddy was sneak the iPads at sleepovers after our parents made us go to sleep. The terror and excitement combined between dying and completing nights was exhilarating. Then with the new trailers coming out me and my friend would get so hype. Then the fnaf 4 teasers. Man. Good times. Simple times
I miss the day of the teasers so so much
It was so exciting coming back from School to check if Scott's site had updated, and watch all the theories on the teasers
It was some of the most hype I had ever shown for a game
No game will be like FNAF, especially since Scott was hiding teasers in his Source Code, how does someone think of that
22:23 This is promo art for Fazbear Frights, not the next installment
Me too I really miss those days!!
are you sure no game will be like FNaF punykirby😉😉
@@lorand2049 I remember the days as well. Those were fun moments

@@sitkinator lol i thought minaxa got morgz just to do a bit
You know, FNAF might be hated and laughed at by many people, but man, realising that this whole universe, this whole community that became parts of lives of millions of people across the globe was just made by one man who is just like us, a human, bring me joy in knowing that game development and art as a whole is not dead.
23:20 that story is enough to make giga chads, hardcore FNAF fans, OG fnafs to cry
Even though fnaf is not the same anymore and many people seem to be leaving it, for me, it’s gonna be hard for me to leave fnaf. It gave me some hope and helped me shape the person I am. Thank you scott
same same same
It helped me through so much in my life, I don't think I would be who I am without the game.
HI, MY NAME IS MANGLE AND MY GENDER IS YESN'T
Many have left but many will come back
I feel you bro but leave while you can.
I remember being addicted to the lore of this series, watching videos of people tear apart absolutely every detail of every game or teaser image.
My interest mainly died out after FNAF4, but it had been waning since after 3.
I never knew that message from Scott existed, but it brings a smile to my face hearing it read.
FNAF was made for all of us, the community. Made for us to play and enjoy, but to also rip to absolute shreds, and we looked everywhere for the story.
In my eyes, FNAF Sim is the end of the series. Everyone, and everything just burned to a crisp, and left to be forgotten.
It wasn't just the deep lore and gameplay that made everyone love FNAF so much, it was also Scott. He turned everything into a game, allowing the community to always be active!
He put as much thought into the community, as he did the games.
FNAF wasn't a series, it was a multi-year event. That games were just a part of it, like games at a carnival. Sure, you can play the games whenever, but they'll never have that same feeling they once did.
FNAF will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Scott, for making my childhood, just like so many other Scott's now that I think about it.
The series's mess of a story will definitely always give it a deep and convoluted community of theorists - it got rewritten quite a few times between the games. In the original storyline, the Crying Child was the Puppet, the Bite of '87 wasn't real by the time FNaF 4 came out (it became '82 and then '83), and Shadow Freddy is speculated to represent the yellow suit used to lure the children, before the original Bonnie counterpart to Fredbear was conceptualized. Now we have all these old, outdated pieces of lore, storylines that don't line up, making an even more confusing and unsolvable mess of a series - but it's still got its good aspects. Unfortunately it has moved on from that, without haunting or teasers or major community interactions anymore, but the community itself and the history of what those original games did - truly original games, both in the series and in gaming as a whole - will remain.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 Yeah, the story is definitely a complete mess!
FNAF 4 originally revealed that everything was just a dream, but since the community hated that so much, Scott had to throw that out, and then somehow rewrite the story so 4 takes place in the same universe as all the others.
I wish Scott would come out and reveal the true story or stories of the games, cause like you said, so many remnants of old stories just don't add up anymore, making an unsolvable puzzle.
@@Valcuda He did some good parts to that with SL (the Nightmares are stored down there, as much as some people instead want to think that the facility is under a house instead), and much of the original story - what little there is in those earlier games, at least - is known now, by simply looking at it without the knowledge of how future games reshaped things. I do really agree that he should've come clean about the sheer number of retcons, though.
I literally cried at the end. Those memories. the nostalgia. thank you, Scott. You created a beautifull community and peoples's childhoods. It was a pleasure playing and watching the vids. Good luck in your future life, buddy. See you in heaven or somewhere in the future.
I didn't even think his retirement was real, I thought he was just trolling us again...
I honestly think FNAF World is extremely underrated and very fun to play. Not to mention I remember checking Scott games every day during middle school to see which animatronics got cuteified.
Preach brother, sister, other.
still my favorite fnaf game
i have fond memories of fnaf world, thats the game that brings the most nostalgia for me out of all the games. probably because i played it together with my cousin at his house, and that house burned down in 2017 lol... maybe i just miss it a lot. like it got left behind in the ashes. we were both livid fnaf fans, a lot of lost memories were there. i wish i could revisit them.
Had great times with it.
Honestly Scott's RPGs were very charming
The sad thing there was a sprite in fnaf world where the box in fnaf 4 was open
I missed the part where he retired, that explains so much. Honestly though, he gave everyone a beautiful series. The teasers are definitely what we all miss, but that man deserves a rest after making like 10 video games in less than 10 years and almost every single one being new and interesting. It just reminds me that I never realized I was in the golden age of FNAF until it was over. I discovered Markiplier from it (and since have become a HUGE fan of his) and that all started over a simple little dev horror game. Life truly is strange man.
yeah he was homophobic and got outed for it, but people took it too far and he retired
@@Hyprst why did you just lie? um, his private info was leaked to the public bruh. how you gonna demean him like that when what happens with his private info was torn away from him. he was literally doxxed and ppl's first resort was "ig hes in the wrong" wtf? thats like if i broke into your home and got mad that there was dirty laundry on your floor. it makes no sense, its no one elses business, like it or not.
@@Gio-kg4gb it was literally the whole reason he got cancelled, he donated politically to homophobic people
@@Hyprst that doesn't mean that he himself is homophobic
@@ItsNothingRichy no, its closer to if you broke into my home and found that i had hired a hitman to kill you and all of your friends. i'm not telling lies, i'm telling the truth, and anybody that defends scott are either dumb and homophobic, or in denial.
the way i got chills and goosebumps from this video 😭 i’ve been a fan since the first game when i was in the 6th grade and i’ve forgotten about a lot of these teasers and it’s like i’m reliving this. this is amazing and so nostalgic ❤️
The early community really was quite special. Everyone theory crafting and picking apart new teasers and bits of the games, the collective hype for new teaser images, everyone going nuts trying to figure out what was going on, it was a fun time. I remember I used ti religiously check Scott’s site every day to see when a teaser would be released. We all had fun back then. The franchise may have gone off into a different direction with Scott no longer at the helm and the community may have moved to different places but I wouldn’t change a thing about those days.
I love how sometimes Scott, at first in the earlier releases, he looked like a dad making stories for children and teasing them on when he's gonna tell the next one
I mean it's true - he is a dad and he makes FNaF for children so ...
@@Dr-Pip He wasn't really making it for children, but the newer releases are emphasizing on it now
Scott was honestly such a dope developer. I have never been more excited for something as a kid than I was for FNAF.
I still remember watching marks video on the first game and getting excited for the next, especially when game theory came out making new theories I was always so invested in, I'm 17 now and I find it crazy to think an indie game like this took over my whole childhood pretty much. I still remember eagerly waiting the release of Pizzeria simulator on skype call with my best friend at the time. I wish he didn't retire but I understand why he did, he had an amazing career and he needs this well deserved break.
Thank you Scott for shaping my childhood
man i ignored this video for a while cause i just didn't have time to watch or just cause i tought it was a little boring like every other fnaf video since i watched most of the famous fnaf Lore video's i tought it was one of those but today, i got in youtube, found it, decided i had to watch it and it got me so much in the story that when you read out loud the retiring message of scott i almost cried, the day i read it myself i didn't really did to much about it mostly because i didn't really know what was behind this magnificent series back then but now i do and i really thank you for this incredible feeling❤and thanks scott for all those hours of fun and curiosity trying to complete every game while trying to find pieces of lore and for all those lore videos that i watched thank you!
10:40 to this day I remember that night. The hype was so big, that you couldn't access the website. It was down, for few hours because of the traffic. This was the peak moment of FNaF Teasers
I was so young then and I remember sneaking into the family computer with my sister and freaking out when we saw it
@@thedamnedcat3240 same i was 12/13 at that time, I couldn’t witness the teaser on day one because I couldn’t access the site but it was posted on the Reddit and I was like oh my god what the hell is that. But I was disappointed later because the FNaF 4 nightmare Freddy were nowhere near as terrifying as the teaser one
Damn... This really does make me miss the involvement he had and mystery he built around the franchise. It's a shame its gone, but I'm happy he of all devs was able to cultivate the hype and community he did
Loved the video, in the beginning when you said five nights at Freddy’s came out while you were in middle school, I responded saying “ah same I was too” and then when you said May 16th is your birthday I was like wow that’s also my birthday!
I was here for all of these but only really remembered some of it. watching this is such a trip down memory lane, i love it
25:00 Whether it's hearing this message or reading it. I can't help but shed a tear. And I can hear it in your voice, I bet you feel the same way I do, you can't help but get sad and happy at the same time. Such a perfect display of how to make someone happy and sad at the same time.
And even in that message he was trolling us lmao. The LBTQ community was the one who attacked him yet he said he apreciate the kindness that community showed him.

Keeping an eye on Scott's website and searching for new clues was something really amazing to experience. I miss those days.
i remember going back everyday to see what character was changed during the fnaf world teasers :,)
25:52 so long Scott🫡
I only have relatively surface knowledge of FNAF, and I've only played the first game and not past night 3. I am absolute flabbergasted hearing that all 4 of the first 4 games were released WITHIN ONE YEAR??? That is INSANE to me, Scott could have waited and brought the hype up and let people theorize like crazy, but was like, nah, release it now. And honestly respect for that!!
Damn, I still remember being a little 3 grader when the game was release. Now I'm so close to graduating highschool and its just amazing to see how the franchise grew so much, and its fanbase who grew up watching this unfold.
Judging by your info in the comment, I'm the same, oh boy what a ride
Same
I can relate to this. I was in 4th grade when the first game released and discovered the series when the second game came out. Almost 9 years later, I’m now a high school graduate and although I’m not as obsessed with the series as I used to be, I still appreciate this series and Scott Cawthon for allowing me to experience some wonderful memories.
Absolutely same here. I miss those days so much.
Same here. The first game released when I was a 3rd grader. Now I'm gonna be a senior in 2 months. I grew up with Scott and his games. Still a huge fan to this day. It's been fun.
I was in 4th grade when the first FNAF came out, and I still remember the hype and absolute fear we all felt in the first two games like it was yesterday! One thing I really remember was when rumors of FNAF 3 were circulating and people thought that it was going to take place in an open-world setting with a big mall and what-not.
literally Security Breach
So...... They thought it was gonna be security breach.
dreams do come true
I REMEMBER THAT, SAME GRADE TOO
fnaf sb
20:24 dawg those are rectangles 💀
You reminded me how excited I was for these teasers really nice video thanks man
It’s no surprise that Scott broke the record for most video game sequels released in a year. He has truly blessed us with one of the most compelling and intricate story within a game.

@@atanaZion You're just jealous that you'll never reach as many people as Scott did. Get a real.
Scott was so successful to the point where he shaped indie horror games so he was a great developer
I remember doing edits of these teasers, brightening, flipping, upping contrast, finding artifacting that looked like letters or numbers. I even had a whole theory that there was a character named "Joy" based on some shapes I found in Phantom BB's hat, and thought maybe this "Joy" character was the first child to die and become an animatronic, not the "Joy of Creation" but the "Creation of Joy."
Man. I kinda forgot that there was a time where FNaF had such big hype over dripfed teasers. I didn't actually realize back then how quickly the games were coming out. Felt like YEARS had passed when sister location dropped after FNaF 4 but really it was about a year. I'm never going to get over how excited and blown away I was to see those FNaF 2 teasers. Sometimes I wish I could go back and relive the excitement.
FNAF 3 & 4 teaser trailers were the most hype thing at the time. I miss those days sometimes
all of the readers were hype and nostalgia filled and still are
This vid was SO nostalgic. This makes me miss being 13, and even now as a college student, fnaf makes me feel like a happy young kid every time. I'm so thankful for scott giving me a childhood, but also for his flaws in the games. The flaws helped me teach myself how to creatively critique something and ask "how would I have done it?" and helped me become more creative over time. This makes me just way more excited for Fnaf + so I can see any potential scott might've been missing become a reality.
As a Long fnaf fan i must say that this was an awesome video And the Way you Said the last Scott speach was AMAIZING keep it up
I've rewatched this like 4 times. Such a good video
We will miss you Scott, you have been the creator of many hopes and dreams and filled the minds of hundreds of people, and have created something that will go down in the history of the internet forever. We love you Scott, and we thank you more than anything. Goodbye.👋
Too bad he is homophobic
@@atanaZion damn, sucks because I’m gay irl too
most impresive thing to me is how quickly scot came up with ideas, made exclent 3d modles, & got most of the codeing perfected.
His games were all made with Clickteam Fusion, which is very easy to use for small 2d games. This allowed him to release multiple games in a very short period of time.
The models are absolutely amazing and very well made tho.
@@Emanuele_Polisenato be fair, Clickteam said they had no idea how he got FNaF4 working
@@quantumblauthor7300really? What a compliment
@@quantumblauthor7300 he really pushed the game engine beyond its limits making clickteam themselves confused
Scott Cawthon is a really great man.
A devout Christian, who struggled to make ends meet.
He made his first game while working at Target and Dollar General.
Apparently it was shit on by game journos, which basically spiralled him into depression along with a crisis of faith, untill he took advantage of it and made FNAF
He sounds like a really chill guy. I wish I could meet him
remember back some of us thought those fan made songs were canon
lol
Scott really put his blood sweat and tears into this series. although his retirement is sad it will forever go down in history 😢

He donated to Mitch McConnell and Trump. We don't need people like that influencing us.
@@mjg2 Grow up dude, Jesus Christ.
@@mjg2if you don’t want to be influenced stop plying his games then, and go find other games which cannot compare to Scott’s impactful games
@@mjg2 so your ridiculing a man that donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity’s, because of his political views? He has done so much more for others in a few years than you will during your lifetime.
How could you skip the completely bonkers conversation between the scottgames and fnafworld websites?
Great video!
It's one of the more obscure teasers to say the least. I don't blame them for missing it.
what a time to be alive this was, I was still in middle school but I’m now about to go to college 😂 following the teasers and stuff in real time was such a cool experience, it felt like something was connecting so many of us together and I would love to have something like that again.
the games will always be special to me (even though I’ve only watched most of them, I promise I’ll play them all eventually) and though I still sorely miss when FNAF had Scott at the helm, I hope he and his family are doing well and that we can look forward to the future of the franchise ☺️
10:20 clarify some lore eh.
We are speaking of what would become FANF 4 of all things. FNAF 4 did the opposite of clarify.
It was so confusing and convoluted that he had to make 3 more games and dozens of books to explain it.
Scott’s retirement letter is nearly enough to bring me to tears. He’ll be missed so so dearly when he leaves fully
he will still be there for the movies
@@logojanny7171 I hope so
@@thediamondbeargaming Yeah, when Dawko and the others went to the movie set, they all got pictures with him. He's gonna see this movie through, man. Dw
@@Daveaintreal I heard about that. Makes me really happy

It’s so funny how Scott releases these games earlier than expected 😭😭 this video was really good. Great job on the editing, research, quality, all that!
I think what makes this saga so special is that it was inspired by its community, everyone by making a youtube video, a reddit post, even a single comment or upvoting some else's opinion took part in making these games, Scott really listened to its community and knew how to meet people's expectations and when to subvert them, there are many plot points and characters that were "based" on the community. He also never let the hype for the games die in its 7 years of continuous work, he could even launch a whole new game even befofe an "average player" finished conpleting the previous one, let alone understand every detail Scott put in every game. That's what made them so special and they keep a space in the hearts of those who grew with it.
I’ll never forget the hype of checking Scott games and seeing a new teaser. This really was a special time in the franchise.
Scott's drive to make games and with that amount of quality in a short amount of time always surprised me
This was like memory lane for me i remember all the teasers memes and theorys i remember them releasing and playing them god i love this video
If I remember correctly the fnaf world Mangle hanging was actually just Mangle biting onto her paddle ball and hanging onto it
So don’t worry he’s fine, they’re just messing around
I remember that too. I was confused why he didn't mention that here.
The way scott pivoted so fast to sister location and even teased it through the fnaf world update 2 after the game received some backlash is always so impressive to me

Scott actually put snippets of the new Pizza Sim animatronics here if you look closely
what? where?
@@Splushr there's Scraptrap's hand in the left bottom corner of Springtrap's picture and Molten Freddy's wired body in the left bottom corner of Funtime Freddy's picture
there's more but i can't remember them at the moment
This was a nice stroll down memory lane. Great video overall!
I'm now saddened after watching this.
I remember how hype all of his teasers were and actually finding his trolls so funny because they just kept me wanting to see what was next; either a troll or a real teaser.
Definitely my favorite game developer, and FNaF will stick with me forever, and I'll probably be reciting the entirety of the lore to my kids one day:)
23:08 is where real men cried
What If there was an artbook featuring all the teasers?
man, i remember checking every few months for a teaser, and when there was, it was the best feeling ever
The early releases of Five Nights at Freddy's were a part of most of our late childhoods before becoming adults and I think that's one of the reason most of us hold this franchise so close to heart. It connects with your freshest childhood memories of the hype, the exciting scare and the theories we all used to make. And I am so happy Scott went from almost bankrupt to being ABLE to retire freely with the enormous financial boost these games gave him, It leaves me with a bittersweet feeling knowing Scott is gone but he is okay, his family and him are not financially struggling anymore and in return he gave us one of the most cherished memories before growing up.
I thought he came back
This brings me so much nostalgia, I remember everytime the teasers came out and me and my friends would start theorizing and chatting about what came out, it was an awesome time, I still feel bad that his private thing got leaked to the public, and I hope hes doing well now
argged
Ngl that ending almost had me crying 😢. Great video bw...

Please keep these uploads coming, Can't wait to see you get big. Your videos are so unbelievably unique.
I absolutley miss Scott Games teasers, they were one of my favorite things waiting for the next release. This is a nostalgic time indeed.
When I heard about Scott’s retirement and why it happened it immediately crushed the little 9 year old in me.
I practically grew around fnaf when sister location was released and now I’m 15.
I really loved the fnaf series and I now have so many fnaf books and merchandise that I’ve collected throughout my entire childhood of being hyperfixated on such a game, thanks for comforting me as a child Scott.
Scott trolling everyone just for the fun of it really shows how much of an amazing and lighthearted game developer he is, much a like a father making jokes to nearly every fan in the community. I remember being so upset and sad back then when the fourth game was the "last game" for the FNaF franchise only for me and my friends to rejoice once FNaF world and SL was released. The 2010s era of FNaF hype was really a nostalgic bliss.
