**Kane Carter** is a video game developer who is well known for being the creator of the popular the POPGOES series of fangames.

## Description

Kane Carter started working on the POPGOES series around the end of 2014, between the release of FNaF 2 and the announcement of FNaF 3.

Kane decided then to make *POPGOES Reprinted*, a bundle consisting of a remake of *POPGOES* and a sequel to *POPGOES*, with a larger team. While *POPGOES Arcade 2*, a teaser to the said game, was able to be released in 2017, *POPGOES Reprinted* was unfortunately cancelled due to development taking too long and team members being hard to control. With this, Kane decided to close the series for good. He started posting several cards titled *POPGOES Memories*, which revealed the characters, stories and details that would have been introduced in *POPGOES Reprinted*. A sidescroller game called *POPGOES Finale* was also made as a send-off to the series, but was once again cancelled. In 2018, Kane teamed up with Emil Macko and Sian Mewburn (also known as Turntail) with the name of Team EKS to develop games together. Their initial debut was supposed to be *Chef Wanted*, a game made for a gamejam event, but it was eventually cancelled due to The Fazbear Fanverse and what's left of it has later turned into *CHASE: Animatronics*.

In 2020, Kane decided to reboot the series with new plot and designs. He developed and released *POPGOES Arcade 2020 Edition* with a smaller team, and started working on *POPGOES Evergreen*, the reboot of POPGOES. Scott approached Kane during the development of *POPGOES Evergreen* for The Fazbear Fanverse. Aside from working on POPGOES Evergreen, he also becomes a FNaF news reporter on Twitter, reporting news and rumors regarding to the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

## Previous Works

* ***POPGOES Arcade*** (2016): An interactive teaser for POPGOES, in the spirit of Scott's "troll games". This project acts as a direct prequel to the main game, where you play as a child trying out "Weasel World" on an arcade machine.
* ***POPGOES*** (2016): Developed over the span of a year with volunteers across the planet. A unique take on a sequel to *Five Nights at Freddy's 3*, featuring new mechanics, clever characters, and an interesting story.
* ***POPGOES Arcade 2*** (2017): A prequel game for the then-planned sequel to POPGOES. A much larger and more fun successor to the original POPGOES Arcade, with characters that were building the world of POPGOES 2's story.
* ***POPGOES Arcade*** (2020): A remastered version of the original *POPGOES Arcade* served as a prologue to *POPGOES Evergreen*. Game later turned into part of The Fazbear Fanverse and is renamed to simply ***POPGOES Arcade***.
* ***CHASE: Animatronics*** (2021, as Team EKS): A FNaf fan-game similar to Pac-Man that was originally part of the cancelled *Chef Wanted*. A "maze chase" game with unique power-ups and mechanics.
* ***POPGOES Evergreen*** (TBA): A complete reboot of the original *POPGOES*.

### Cancelled Projects

* ***POPGOES Reprinted***: A bundle consisting of a sequel of *POPGOES* (which was titled *POPGOES 2: The Dead Forest*), along with a remake of *POPGOES*. Game was cancelled.
* ***POPGOES Finale***: Following the cancellation of POPGOES 2 (or rather POPGOES Reprinted, the final attempt at a sequel), POPGOES Finale was made to showcase of the minigames from that game. Only a demo was released.
* ***Chef Wanted***: A game made for the Fangames at Freddit's gamejam event with the help from Emil Macko, but was eventually cancelled due to the making of *Five Nights at Candy's 4* and *POPGOES Evergreen*.
