While initially discouraged, almost to the point of stopping game development completely, Cawthon eventually decided to use the animatronic-like characters to his advantage, sparking the development of Five Nights at Freddy's. While The Desolate Hope made it through the process, some games, most notably Chipper and Sons Lumber Co., were heavily criticized by prominent reviewers for having characters that moved and interacted with each other like animatronic machines. Some of these were submitted to Steam Greenlight. The animation is a retelling of John Bunyan's novel of the same name. After releasing The Pilgrim's Progress, Cawthon developed several games, including Sit N' Survive, Chipper and Sons Lumber Co., and The Desolate Hope.

On March 19, 2007, Cawthon uploaded the first part of an 8-part series named The Pilgrim's Progress to his YouTube channel. He later joined Hope Animation, where he created animations for children based on Christian values. His first official games began to sprout in the early 2000s, one of the earliest known being RPG Max, released in 2002. Cawthon revealed his first ever game (titled "Doofas") during a livestream by YouTube personality Lewis Dawkins (A.K.A Dawko), which he made when he was a child. It is unknown when Cawthon began his career in game design and animating, although it can be dated back to somewhere in the 1990s. He does not go out to the public and when someone call him on interviews he answer on questions through the email(his first real interview was with Dawko). He is of Christian faith, previously being part of Hope Animation, an organization creating animated films based on Christian beliefs and values.
He lives in Salado, Texas, with his wife and two sons. Scott Cawthon was born and raised in the United States. Most of his games are relited with God and Chatolic faith.
He used Autodesk 3ds Max and Clickteam Fusion 2.5 to develop Five Nights at Freddy'sand most of his other games. Scott has also created other games, such as Chipper & Son's Lumber Co., The Desolate Hope, and There is No Pause Button!, as well as Christian-based animations such as A Christmas Journey and The Pilgrim's Progress. Scott Cawthon is an independent American video game designer, developer, animator, and writer, best known as the creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's game franchise.
