Trivia / Scott Cawthon

• Creator Breakdown: Cawthon managed to turn his first Creator Breakdown into a Career Resurrection. Cawthon received harsh backlash over his children's game Chipper & Sons Lumber Co. due to the characters looking unintentionally creepy, fell into a depression and nearly quit game development entirely. Then he had a revelation: If people thought his characters were creepy-looking, why not go all the way? Thus was born Five Nights at Freddy's.
