## About

Mr. Tophat is a 15-year-old game developer, who was first exposed to FNAF after a neighbor showed him.
He has now been using Scratch to develop FNAF-related games though quite a few of them haven't seen the light of day.
He also plays Bass and Acoustic Guitar but openly admits he sucks at both.

**Some of his favorite games include:**

### Piggy

Piggy is a personal favorite of Mr. Tophat. Although he doesn't play the game much anymore, it definitely had a huge impact on his story telling and his artistic abilities. He remembers it fondly due to the involvement with friends he no longer has contact with.

### Five Nights at Freddy's

A pretty obvious one, the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is one of Mr. Tophats favorite game franchises. He thoroughly enjoys fangames too.

Some of his favorite fangames are the following:
FTAH, FNAC, TRTF 2, POPGOES , and FNAW among many others...

### Minecraft

Minecraft is a very nostalgic game for Mr. Tophat and many others. He also enjoys playing it with friends and as a stress reliever, however, he dislikes the current community.

## Controversies

### Those Nights with Liam's

In 2019, Mr. Tophat released a game called "Those Nights with Liam's", which was a replica of a friend's game. In reaction, Rafieko started calling Mr. Tophat out for it, and some of his friends or fans began posting expositions. This gave Mr. Tophat a bad reputation and the game was taken down while the third game was in mid-development.

### Rafieko exposition

Though a short one, this one is probably the least known. In 2020, Rafieko released a game that copied a game called "The Sparks: Deadwire", a game made by one of Mr. Tophat's friends. For no reason, even Mr.Tophat can't remember why, he released an exposé about Rafieko. Soon after, Rafieko saw it and banded together with some of his friends to somewhat harass Mr. Tophat into taking it down. Which worked and Mr. Tophat promptly apologized privately.
