Scott came up with his first game called Doofas during a live stream in the 1990s when he was a kid. Scott released the first official games of his in the early 2000s and also created children’s animations after joining Hope Animation.

Scott continued to work on other games, eventually developing several titles such as Sit N’Survive, The Desolate Hope, and Chipper and Sons Lumber Co. However, he was heavily criticized for drawing characters that moved like animatronic machines. This put him off for a while, but the brilliant idea occurred to him later.
