Five Nights at Freddy's video game developer Scott Cawthon posted a letter on the Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Steam page on Tuesday that has, for the first time, revealed a significant amount of information about the creative genius' life.

Cawthon begins by thanking players for their support, as well as their concerns he may be stressed out.

"It's true that I'm stressed a little; but it's ok because the result was good," Cawthon wrote. "I've worked very hard this year, almost non-stop, to produce good games for this series."

The developer mentioned the debate as to how "good" his Five Nights at Freddy's games are. He pointed to the Steam reviews as the best way to judge the games quality.

"I did my best to provide some good scares and a good story. I've been mostly successful; so I'm very happy about that," he wrote.

The Five Nights at Freddy's games aren't perfect, Cawthon acknowledged. They never will be. The Art Institute of Houston graduate described the crux of video games as being "the impossible chase towards an unreachable echelon of perfection."

Cawthon touched on the hate provoked by the horror game series' latest installment, which has come across on YouTube and in the game's forums. He said it is difficult when people dislike you simply because you have found success at something.

He welcomes criticism about his games but not bashing from people who "will hate anything that becomes popular, just because it's popular, and hate anyone who becomes successful, just because they are successful."

The Texas native revealed people who hate on him for being successful don't know the reality of his life.

This time last year, Cawthon was working as a cashier at Dollar General. Prior to that job, he worked in the backroom freezer of Target.

"I haven't had a successful life; and now that God has blessed me with some success, I'm doing my best to be responsible with that success," the developer said.

Contrary to rumors, Cawthon doesn't party like a rock star. He spends his evenings "playing Megaman 3, buster only, with my kids."

In closing, the FNAF4 creator wrote, "I'm getting too old for this. And when I retire someday, I'm going to want to sit down at a computer and play YOUR games, read YOUR stories, and watch YOUR videos. Don't fall in with the people who have already given up on themselves. You are tomorrow's next big thing. :)"
