Before FNAF: Lost Media Found, Scott Cawthon Responds, Piper Beaten!

[@SuperWiiBros08]

It's fucking unbelievable the amount of stuff Scott made all by himself

[@phillebrave6429]

Hello there

[@YourEnbySpaceLover]

yeah, he's such a cool game developer, i love him

[@Scrat351]

That is the reason why we love Scott Cawthon as a indie developer!

[@BasementDweller_]

Crossover comment moment.

[@invadermax1722]

scott's obsession with funky robots is fascinating

[@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad]

@kingkaza Kids like simple things (FNaF, simple animatronic's design), while grown ups like Aesthetic things (Desolate Hope, fascinating robot's design)

[@Twiddle_things]

​@kingkaza I got obsessed with robots at age 10 thanks to portal, and around 12 got obsessed with mecha (still am) 🔥

[@Goatythemeow]

I went from thinking fnaf was cool, to thinking it was cringe, to appreciating it simply because of how aesthetically pleasing I find all of scott cawthons work

[@senorbob2909]

Scott stole the idea of FNAF from somebody else called James. You can go and research this stuff for yourself but the dude is far from Christian.

[@Goatythemeow]

[@exotic1405]

Describing Iffermoon is like a character in a movie describing a fake video game to his friends

[@squedlly]

Honestly yeah, but seeing it with some familiarity with The Desolate Hope, it makes some sense. The Tinkertops seem to be like the storage system from Mirad

[@dutch_asocialite]

When you're not familiar with a particular game, it sounds exactly like that.

[@MrChocodemon]

The time spent by Scott insane. Not just making the movie, like modeling and animating etc, but rendering something like that in the early 2000s took probably forever.

[@kinokoshi_4239]

you explaining how people beat the piper sounds like the plumbus bit from rick and morty

[@B1G_RED]

No actually I was so lost Honestly less lost during the plumbus bit "And then a grumbo comes and rubs it"

[@schmantikor]

Well, it's exactly the same thing the plumbus scene is a parody of. Explaining something with a context nobody knows like everybody knows the context.

[@gaminggranny1541]

Rick and Morty mentioned 🤢🤢

[@Sandux930]

Timestamp?

[@RootVegetabIe]

The visuals of the Piper fight and the conveluted explanation of how to beat him comes across like a parody. If I didn't know it was real I'd think it was satire.

[@MustyYew]

Scott is one of these very successful people you just keep respecting because they don't fall off into dehumanization

Scott's story really is admirable

[@Ultrasound700]

That plush is straight up freaky. Now a plush of the orange hourglass, I would buy.

[@AlexReynard]

If I could ask Scott anything, I'd love to know what among his less-successful projects is his favorite. I think I'm probably not the only creator where, I've made a lot of stuff, and there's some stories I've written that didn't catch on, but I dearly love the characters in them. So I'm always curious, 'What would you most want more people to see because you're proud of it?' Solar, feel free to answer this yourself.

[@SolarSands]

Oh I think “Everything is Television” is one of my better videos. Not as popular as others, it has ok numbers.

[@DZodiark10]

@@SolarSandsI can see that, it was honestly a visceral piece of media, and I imagine took a lot of self-reflection and soul searching to make. It definitely shows, your experiences and emotions are intrinsic to the video. Hit pretty close to home for a lot of people, too. It’s inherently valuable for that reason, but I imagine it must be a precious work to you since it’s so from-the-heart. Then again, I could be assuming all of this, and sound like a pretentious loser - but I can relate to pouring yourself into a work and it not getting as much …recognition and validation as I wish it could have had, so I’m probably self-projecting. I won’t pretend to know you. I’ll take this time though to thank you for all your effort and the passion you have for your content. It shows.

[@DrDingsGaster]

Scott's funky robots are stupidly cool af.

[@Fellaladguy]

I love Scott's style in the desolate hope and iffer moon, I think it's best described as CGI which replicates early practical effects to the best of its ability. It most reminds me of the puppets in mystery science theatre 3000.

[@NecroBurt]

Bird village the movie just proves to me unequivocally that the only thing that keeps creativity from being realized is lack of ambition and effort.

[@Kyumifun]

I'm lazy with big dreams, and can confirm this is true. What pushes a person forward and makes them work towards their dreams? What am i creating and why do i do it? I ask myself these questions every day.

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

What about those of us who aren't lazy but just have horrendous analysis paralysis and second guessing?

[@raelogan]

Dude, I was just looking up FNAF music videos to share with my friend, and this popped up within 10 minds of release

[@xard64]

This whole saga is a good reminder of the importance of preservation of media. It's impossible to predict accurately what happens in the future and even the works not valued by the original author can become very valuable to someone else.

[@lazarack4859]

You got me to play The Desolate Hope, and for that I thank you.

[@thekeeper1287]

Ill say this again. Scotts artstyle is so cool looking. It has that charm. And when he makes robots is when it REALLY shines through

[@TitularHeroine]

Really interesting! Thanks for all the work you put in. And it's cool that he saw the first episode and emailed you back

[@odd9965]

Glad Scotts other games are actually getting their own recognition and publicity separate to fnaf because I really think some of the older work specifically desolate hope can really stand on its own and I hope Scott having watched your video will encourage him to make some more original work or sequels to older worm

[@paulisaperson0516]

It’s one of the newer rules of the internet that if you are saying something about someone they will probably see it at some point

[@theloz3r]

@@mavymagdowney9798back in 2022 I started using this website called 1001 album generator where it gives you an album to listen to that day. Anyways literally the day after the Queen Elizabeth died, the site generated the album The Queen is Dead by The Smith’s

[@journey8533]

It's not a coincidence, KZbin recommends videos from creators or series when they are about to Publish a new episode (most channels have planned releases, or upload a video a few days before making it public in order to sort copyright issues that might pop up)

[@skep2923]

Nice. Glad we could get a clean digital scan of old media.

[@sips3812]

at last, I find a solar sands video early. yay!

[@StrawberryAsh-wq2ev]

I feel like Scott might’ve also been or is a Star Trek Fan…the “warp 10” action from the Game 100% sounds like a reference. Since In Star Trek, that’s the fastest warp factor that may or may not be possible to achieve. And that one movie totally sounds like he might’ve taken inspiration from the storylines Star Trek has quite a few of. Comets, dangerous inventions and all that…

[@artycantdance9750]

I literally just finished watching the main video, Crazy.

[@isabellebacosa1810]

I’m way too early lol! Was just rewatching ur old vids

[@mizzviolet]

I just watched both of your videos, and after seeing that Scott commented I just assumed both videos must be from years ago since he doesn’t interact as much he used to. so cool to see this was so recent :) also great job on your before fnaf video, i can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it

[@MrMcCowLicks]

Awesome sauce!

[@kat_draws__]

I always come back to this video. I don’t know if it’s cause of my long history of being a fan of fnaf, or just the overall layout of how every single piece of history is placed so accurately and neatly. I think both honestly, this is why I’ve been a fan of your videos for the longest time

[@RaisinHook]

Bird Vilage could have maybe been really popular if it was short animations uploaded to KZbin or Newgrounds, since it's about as stupid as Eddsworld

[@Maybeyoudorho]

0:53 an artist’s past history being laid out like that was something that always daunted me. No im not Lenard da Vinci nor will I ever make anything culturally impacting but the idea that you could become a famous artist and eventually have your entire life story summed up into a video breaking you and your life down always made me feel a little uneasy. On one hand, I enjoy learning about other artists but on the other hand the idea of my life ever being described in a point by point way is bizarre.

[@thomasmoran8958]

I know it's not likely but it would be really nice to see Scott give another go at an RPG similar to Iffermoon and The Desolate Hope. It doesn't even have to be FNAF-based. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big FNAF fan but I would've liked to see Scott kinda go back and make something like what he made before.

I really hope someone can find the book Scott wrote, 'The Tearing'. I looked it up and just found where some people were talking about trying to find an archive or download of it, but no one had actually found such a thing yet. Being a hobby writer (and in a bit of rut) myself, I'm really curious as what the story was like, and even what his writing style at the time might look like.
