#scott cawthon interview 2024

[puhpandas]

the thing that gets me is that scott was radio silent during the period where sb was a fresh release when fans were shitting on steel wool and saying it was all their fault and that they should be ashamed and that they ruined Scott's game. it's the fact that he let them take the fall and let them get years worth of hate for something that isnt their fault before finally releasing any kind of statement in this interview revealing the truth

[puhpandas]

what scott said about security breach and how he didnt blame steel wool for trying to draw storylines themselves from the puzzle pieces he gave them and that he tried to redeem that by making ruin with them is SUCH a good sign oml.

he basically just said that he knows that it wasnt a good idea to be vague with steel wool and he wasnt in ruin and it shows in how linear and clean the story is in ruin. he said that steel wools figure plans are exciting and it's making me so hype like guys peak might be incoming because scott and steel wool are gonna be working with way better communication together

[puhpandas]

the fact that Scott used the wording "ruin was kind of to redeem security breach" makes me so hopeful like. if they're wanting to redeem security breach that means in future releases they are probably 100% going to focus on redeeming and resurrecting old plots like ggy to do it justice and also the characters themselves like vanessa Gregory and vanny

[puhpandas]

ohhh my god just watched the security breach section of the scott interview and my god it gives so much insight to what happened to security breach. like genuinely it almost basically fully explains it. this is so satisfying becuase it just paints so much of a more tangible picture compared to what we were doing before just grasping at straws trying to make sense of what on earth happened. it was just soo much miscommunication

[puhpandas]

just finished the interview with 7 filled sticky notes lmao.. here’s a little bit of a synopsis of some bigger things :)

ruin is one of scott’s favorites from steelwool! the mimic is also a character he likes and he said that it wont be the last that we see of it. VANNY IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERS HE ALSO LIKES FROM THE SW GAMES THERE HOPE GUYS THERES HOPE. (i wrote ‘vanny omfg’ in big letters)

burntrap was never supposed to move in SB, more like a “decaying movie prop” as scott puts it. The story he had in mind for SB was never fully communicated with SW, instead he just gave them certain things (plot points, ideas, lines of dialogue) that were placed in the game and SW filled in the gaps. the end result was very different from what scott had in mind.

in terms of the movie, the mci were treated with lots of care in regards to how they were portrayed in the movie. the goal was to keep them as innocent victims who only know that the last time they were with an adult, they ended up hurt. so the scene with the break in was a way to get a kill count while still protecting the idea that they are just kids. fort scene!! also the newton bros intro will show up supposedly in the second movie grins

SW has big stuff planned outside of jsut this week! there’s hopes for another game made by the same company thats doing into the pit rn! Fetch is a story that scott said he thinks would be a good fit

the box. there is something in it, but its not what it was when scott first created it. whatever was in it then has kinda abstracted and the box is just. there. the og idea was meant for a different story direction

and thats pretty much it! this turned out much longer than i thought it would be lmao sorry for the huge ask 😭

OH MY GOD thank you so so much V this helps out so much!! ur a livesaver!!

THANK GOD VANNY SCREENTIME OTW🙏🙏🙏

oh my god that second one is groundbreaking. that literally just explains everything that happened with SB. scott didnt communicate with them for some reason and the story they made from the bits and pieces he gave them wasnt what he actually wanted then boom. content massacre of 2021. insane information

OH MY FUCJING GODDD THE HYPE IS SO REAL WITH THAT. SW HAS BIG PLANS OUTSIDE THE WEEK EVERYBODY SOUND THE ALARMS

and oh my God FETCYHHHHHGH FETCY FETCH ID ACTUALLY CRY SO HARD IF THEY MADE A FETCH GAME. THAT WAS ONE OF KY FIRST PICKS FOR ANOTHER FAZBEAR FRIGHTS GAME!!

oh my godd that box is so annoying LMAO. I wish he had said what was in it originally tho since theres no point in hiding it if it was strictly for a different story direction that isnt canon anymore

once again THANK U V this helps out so much I appreciate it a ton🙏🙏💜💜💜

This explains why Gregory’s sudden need to stay at the plex for the “disappearances” was in there. There was probably supposed to be some build up there but since Scott told steel wool absolutely nothing it just feels random and forced in.

He probably went like “oh yeah and Gregory sticks around for the disappearances” and didn’t elaborate.

I would not be suprised since Gregory staying for the disappearances was always a nonexistent plotline

[puhpandas]

Hello! Popping in as promised!

The main points (in my opinion!!)

Scott actually likes fnaf world and has bigger plans for it. If there's ever a chance where he has more time, he might remake it. Might.

He said Vanny was one of his favourite characters and he's hoping for more character development in the future for her.

He was interested in the Mimic as a whole and thinks there's more in store for it as a chatacter.

He has hopes that more of the books will be made into games, like Into The Pit

And there's also a possibility of a TV series based off of the Fazbear Frights books

Steel Wool has another entire game in the making that apparently doesn't relate to their announcement.

The box. The box was a concept that he had, a half-developed idea. But because the direction changed, he never developed what was in the box. Technically, there is nothing there.

So yeah! Those are the parts that stuck out to me the most! (you've already spoken about the whole Security Breach miscommunication issue, so I won't go into detail with it) there might be more I missed out, but it's past midnight for me, and I'm tired 😂

AHH THANK YOU🙏

FNAF WORLD 2 WOULD BE SO EPIC!!! with the sister location and security breach characters and stuff I'd love that soo much

vanny come home🙏

IM SO FUCKING HYPE ABOUT THAT STEEL WOOL GAME PEAK HERE WE COME

I hope people stop worrying about that box after this interview lmaoo as a fnaf theorist it's one of those things that clearly has no answer/has been phased out of being important and u just ignore it

[puhpandas]

So I saw some people on Twitter say since burntrap was just suppose to be motionless and only appear at some areas, it might’ve been a hallucination for Gregory like how glitchtrap pops up for Vanessa. Someone pointed out how in 46 tapes Gregory is seen with someone with “rabbit ears “ as well.

I watched the interview and scott described burntrap more as blatantly being a physical Easter egg the player could find, and that he wasn't meant to move since you'd get a peek at him behind some machinery and hed look like a dusty abandoned halloween prop

[puhpandas]

so the security breach news that Im currently hearing rn is that weve been mischaracterizing gregory for almost four years straight now? wow what a whirlwind! I wonder how they’ll tackle this in the future because what’s been done is done and despite not being intentional, gregory’s still in the doghouse for “killing” or attempted to kill several people 💀 hopefully they have plans to resolve this. maybe they won’t but who knows!

I definitely wouldnt say that at all. security breach is still SB and even with this new info, from day 1 of its release we knew that things got scrambled and it wasnt what it was meant to be. gregory from security breach is still the exact character we all started to like after seeing the game and we shouldnt discount everything security breach gave us just bc scott cawthon and sw had different visions that weren't communicated

steel wool even said that they were happy/content with the state sb released in, so it would be really unfair to just discount the entire game for some unknown secret characterization of Gregory and vanessa we'll never really know

security breach is still the security breach I watched for the first time 2.5 years ago and if I loved the game then I love it now too :)

[puhpandas]

I did not expect to get security breach closure today

STEEL WOOL RELEASES MENTION!!!!

so from how scott was talking he said that OUTSIDE of what steel wool is announcing this week (so definitely a game reveal with no chance of it being something else), steel wool has another game queued up beyond the 6th.

so I was kinda thinking there could be a chance we could get the next game after whatever we get on the 6th teased the same day on the 6th or maybe at pax west, but scott was saying that these reveals and info about the game after are far away, so theres no telling how long itll take for it to be released

but STILL. the fact that theyve had 8 months to work on the hw2 dlc with a team so much bigger than theyve had this whole time (as of the fuhnaff SW interview, around 90-100), theyve probably had extra time and also hands on deck to get into development of that game after.

like dreadbear came out 5 months after hw1 and they had way less people. having this many people and probably pushing back any dlc news until the 6th (if that's what were getting) for the week, they're probably really far into development with it and also have one foot in the door with the next release

how scott says that there IS a game confirmed and that itll be far away, this is a great sign that the game will be larger scale. I would guess they're in the stages of conceptualizing right now but I have no idea
