In the official FNaF subreddit (thanks, Xenodizzy), Cawthon dropped a message to the community, saying 'there have been some great fanmade spinoff universes created in this community, and [they] want to see them keep going'.

Five Nights at Freddy's is an indie point-and-click survival horror video game and the first installment of the series developed by Scott Cawthon. It was first released on Desura on August 8, 2014 and released on Steam on August 18, 2014. From twisted toys to gut-wrenching games, this collection of terrifying tales is unsettling enough to mess with even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy's fans. In this volume, series creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of FNAF's canon. Based on the best-selling horror video game series Five Nights at Freddy's, this coloring book is packed full of terrifyingly wonderful scenes for FNAF fans to color in and enjoy. From Chica and Foxy to Freddy himself, this Five Nights at Freddy's extravaganza has 96 pages of coloring fun perfect for any Freddy Fazbear's Pizza super fan!

'It's a project that's designed to invest into those franchises, give back to the developers, and hopefully bring new entries to those franchises as well!

'There have been some great fanmade spinoff universes created in this community, and I want to see them keep going; that's why I've put some my own cash toward development of new games in those game series.'
Cawthon went on to explain that they were 'going to stay OUT of the development side of things so that these creators can do their thing', but said the devs 'are going to develop these games and interact with the fanbase just as they would have normally, and when the games are done, they'll be released on GameJolt for free, just like normal'.

'The difference now is that they'll also be bundled up with other games from the same series, such as the classic versions, or remakes, or minigames, and sold on most major consoles and mobile as well (at least that's the plan),' Cawthon added. 'Did I mention there may be some toys and other merchandise of these fangames too?'
The announcement went on to become the most upvoted post on the entire subreddit, hitting over eleven thousand upvotes.
'THIS IS OUR REWARD FOR GETTING THROUGH 2020,' exclaimed one happy fan.
Don't forget, Five Nights at Freddy's is also set to be adapted for film by Blumhouse Productions.
