- An announcement from Scott about his Social media accounts.
Trivia[]
- When Chipper & Sons Lumber Co. came out, a lot of people complained that the animation and characters in it looked like "animatronic dolls." This sent Scott into a deep depression. Some sources even say that Scott came to the conclusion that God hated him and that he was also considering suicide. However, before he was ready to quit the video game-making business entirely, he realized he could take advantage of this, turning this error into success, and thus Five Nights at Freddy's was born.
- Scott has mentioned that Bonnie is the only animatronic who ever gave him nightmares.
- Scott's avatar comes from another game he made: There is No Pause Button!
- Scott is the father of six children and resides in Texas.
- Scott has stated his favorite Bible verse is Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Metroid are the games he occasionally plays, as stated in one of his interviews.
- Scott voices Phone Guy and Phone Dude in the first three games of the Five Nights at Freddy's series.
- He has also made cameo appearances in FNaF World, Help Wanted, Freddy in Space 2, and Fury's Rage.
- The idea of being stuck in one spot and unable to move may have been taken from Sit 'N Survive, one of Scott's other games.
- After the release of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Scott removed all information from his official site and replaced it with an image of the word "offline." Over the next several weeks, his website began to show signs of life.
Scott's IRL photo and bio from Hope Animation.
- Most of his information was revealed in a bio on Hope Animation's website.
Scott warning his fans against impersonators.
- On January 3, the text under the teaser image was updated to inform the community about fan games and that they should be supportive of them: "This is a reminder to not believe everything you hear. Only believe information from Scottgames.com! Please be supportive of others in the community and those making fan-games. It only takes a few kind words to build someone up!"
- On January 8, Scott's warning is modified differently as: "This is a reminder to not believe everything you hear; I do NOT have a Twitch or Twitter account. Only believe information from Scottgames.com! Also, please do not call any phone numbers that you believe may be associated with the game. There are NO real phone numbers associated with the game. Please be supportive of others in the community and those making fan-games; it only takes a few kind words to build someone up!"
- As of today, the message and the email address are permanently removed.
- Scott stated in one of his Reddit comments that he's aware of the Five Nights at Freddy's Wiki.
- A picture of Scott appears in the introductory portion of Help Wanted, representing the "rogue indie developer" who supposedly released games that tarnished Fazbear Entertainment, but according to Tape Girl, Fazbear Entertainment had hired the developer all along as part of a coverup.
- Scott confirmed on Reddit that while his photo is used for the indie developer, he is not intended to be Scott. He also confirmed in the same post that the child face seen in Ultimate Custom Night, implied to be "The One You Should Not Have Killed," is a modified picture of his youngest son Jason, and that it doesn't mean that Jason is said child.
- Due to Scott's cameo in the Intro Sequence of Help Wanted, many believed that he was part of the lore. He eventually explained that he was not a part of the lore.[2]
- This had also applied to Markiplier, as he was featured in the trailer for Special Delivery, as many thought that Markiplier was part of the lore.
- Unlike every other one of Scott Cawthon's notable social media accounts that are either constantly active, previously active, or contain a single sign of activity, the only accounts of his that do not contain any activity are his Twitch and Tumblr accounts.
- On June 12, 2021, his name trended on Twitter when his political donations were identified in public databases and discussed on Twitter. Cawthon subsequently confirmed in a Reddit post that he is a member of the Republican Party, has donated thousands of dollars in support of conservative political candidates (although he also made a one-off donation to then-Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard's 2020 presidential primary campaign), and is pro-life, sparking both major backlash and messages of support from Five Nights at Freddy's fans. He stated that his personal information and address had been doxxed. He maintains that he loves all of his fans regardless of orientation, religion, gender, or race, and that his donations to any political candidates are not out of prejudice.[3]
- In his interview with Dawko, unlike others who he interviewed, Scott referred to Dawko by his real name, Lewis Dawkins.
- Scott's high score for Ultimate Custom Night at the time of the interview was still only 6,800.
- On June 17, 2021, Scott Cawthon officially announced on his website that he was retiring from making games in the franchise to focus on raising his children. The series' IP will be given to an undisclosed third party. While it's unconfirmed who the IP will be given to, it has been assumed to be Steel Wool Studios by some due to their work on the series.
- However, despite retiring, Scott is still working on the franchise, behind the scenes, but not as heavily as he used to.
- Despite his notoriety from the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, Scott has maintained a low profile outside of occasional posts on his website and social media. He has seldom given interviews and has almost never publicly appeared on video. In 2024, Cawthon made a cameo at the end of the YouTube video, “MatPat’s Final Theory,” which was the final video hosted by MatPat on the channel Game Theory. Game Theory had become an important figure in the Five Nights at Freddy’s community due to the many videos made by MatPat on the lore of the series.
- One of the most popular photos of Scott is of him at Fright Dome in Nevada. The Photo was taken with the YouTuber CoryxKenshin.
