Developer releases apology for rushed FNaF World release

Things aren't going well for developer Scott Cawthon who, after releasing his latest addition to the Five Nights at Freddy's universe on Steam yesterday, as issued an apology. The turn-based RPG FNaF World is being ripped apart by Steam for being what users consider a rushed job.

In light of the inundation for negative reviews, Scott Cawthon has released a statement of apology to the Steam community, vowing to fix FNaF World and bring it to the standards that both he and the community believe it should be at.

Hi everyone.

This isn’t exactly an announcement that I’m enjoying writing, but it’s one that I feel I owe to the community.

You know, I’ve been accused of rushing my games ever since FNaF 1, but I’ve never felt that I’d released a game too early… until now.

There are a lot of features that this game should have had before release, features that I was told about, but ignored and didn’t implement. Features such as being able to see what abilities do during battle, or being able to see a stats page for your characters. These are features that any good RPG would have.

I got too eager to show the things that were finished, that I neglected to pay attention to the things that weren’t.

I’m going to fix this, and I’ll be updated the game with these features in the coming weeks.

So I say this to a community that I’ve enjoyed and respected for over a year and a half now- I’m sorry. I will continue to add features to the game and make it right.

Fans of the developer have seemingly accepted the apology, but agree that Cawthon made a mistake releasing the game in this state.
