In 2003, Cawthon released what he considers his first "official" game, an RPG named Legacy of Flan, and later, In 2008, Cawthon would release his first professional game, Iffermoon, a side-scrolling RPG game. In 2013, Cawthon released Chipper and Sons Lumber Co., the inevitable beginning of Cawthon's rise to prominence after critics described Chipper and his friends as creepy, Chuck-E-Cheese-like animatronics, than cute, friendly animals. After a few more attempts at game development, Cawthon would go on to attempt at game creation one last time, making the eponymous survival horror video game Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF), which released in August 2014. Following the success of the video game, Five Nights at Freddy's shortly turned into a large, multi-media franchise, encompassing 20+ games, 50+ books, and a film franchise. Over the history of Cawthon's career, he has developed and published over a 100 video games.
