==History ==
===Early Life===
Tyler was born on May 12, 2000, in Odessa, Texas. His first gaming console was PlayStation 2 when he was 3, and the first ever games he played were from the Crash Bandicoot series, and his personal favorite, I-Ninja.
In 2003, his brother Andrew was born. The following year on November 5th, his second brother Sean was born. When he was 4, he played Bejeweled on his father's computer.
On January 2010, his father was arrested during work at city hall for smuggling and hiding cash from Mexico to Texas to Wisconsin and being a fraud. Tyler burst into tears seeing how long they were going to sentence him for; originally, it ranged from 20 to 30 years, but then it was lowered down to only 7 years.
That same year, he discovered that he liked bringing his stories and imagination to life through video games, so he stumbled upon a game-developing software, GameMaker, and he would go on to code several Mario and Smash Bros fangames.
Moving onto 2012, he came across the horror games Slender: The Eight Pages and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. He had only made one friend while he was in middle school. Both had looked forward to becoming film directors or writers. During a phone call, Tyler came out to him and talked about his sexuality. They never spoke about this ever again. Afterward this tragic interaction, he became more depressed and unhappy due to the incident in school, he tried to end himself on several occasions but never succeeded.
===The Return to Freddy's ===
on September 2014, Tyler was finally ready to take game dev as a career instead of a hobby. He opened up The Games Factory 2, and he started to work on his first public experimental project, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Fan Game. on December 23, the game was released on Game Jolt. Later, the game page was removed from Game Jolt because he received an email from Scott Cawthon himself requesting him to remove the game from Game Jolt. But on January 5th, the game page is back on Game Jolt now called The Return to Freddy's. Later on, he created more TRTF games until he began teasing the game with an image of Tortured Lockjaw, at the time called "Hybrid Lockjaw". Tyler began teasing more hybrid animatronics such as Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Kitty FazCat, and Vigo. Tyler then started to create teaser games, starting with one where Grön and Vincent vandalize the machine that created animatronics. Years later, it began creating Hybrids. Tyler decided to change the game's name from The Return to Freddy's Remastered to The Return to Freddy's Rebooted, but later the name was changed again to The Return to Freddy's 5 because the reboot will start the series all over again. Soon, two more games were made. Some rooms of the game were shown in a few more teasers and wallpapers, along with Tortured Lockjaw. Until November 22, 2015, when he announced it was canceled. However, on December 19, 2015, he went live on Twitch for the trailer music for the game. On December 21, 2015, he released a trailer on YouTube, revealing it is no longer canceled or wasn't canceled to begin with.
On November 2015, around the time The Return to Freddy's 5 was still being developed, Tyler started to work on a spin-off project with Bioninjagames named "FRANKBURT'S". A few months later in 2016, Tyler announced on his old Twitter account the name of the project he was working on in cryptic code. Along with a teaser on his official website showcasing Kitty FazCat's new endoskeleton. A few days later, the game was changed from being a spin-off project to an official installment set in the main TRTF universe. However, Tyler gave up on the development 
after being told by therapists and gave TannerFeline the ownership and rights of the TRTF Saga.
On December 5, 2015, Tyler retired from game development and gave the project to Yin Kouiu. However, a user forced Tyler to reveal that Yin Kouiu was his alternate account. On October 2016, Tyler decided to hand TRTF over to TannerFeline and Toonster after his counselor advised him to stop working on it. But they canceled their versions of the game, but eventually later in December 2016, Tyler decided to hand the whole TRTF series to Bioninjagames. Bioninja decided to change the lore just like Toonster and also remove some of the characters and give the Torture Suits new models. On January 6, 2017. Exactly one month after that happened on February 6, 2017, Bioninja eventually decided to cancel his version of TRTF5, due to the massive backlash it got.
In 2017, Tyler announced that he was working on a new project called "The Return to Freddy's: Chapter One", a reboot of the TRTF Saga that was being led in development by Tyler and his brother, Sean. The game was first announced to the community on August 28, 2017. It was intended to be released on a closed launcher called the "OMEGA LAUNCHER"https://imgur.com/a/Kt1az2F that was being made by a friend of Tyler's named Jacob Rotundohttps://imgur.com/a/mjGVPn4. The game itself was canceled in 2018 when Tyler decided to remove all of the Five Nights at Freddy's characters and assets from the game and to make the game its own unique intellectual property, The Road That Falls. The game's cancelation was first announced by Tyler to the community on July 9, 2018, on the TRTF Saga and Co. Discordhttps://imgur.com/a/ByxcbRv, where he announced that the game itself was intended to be a set-up for a game that was never intended to be related to The Return to Freddy's series or the Five Nights at Freddy's series at all, and the community had fallen for this.

Then he got an email from Scott Cawthon himself saying that he needed to remove the game from Game Jolt because he's been getting reports of the game being so weird compared to the first two.
