- After the massive failure of The Day Before, its developer was closed but is now aiming to make a return.
- Fntatsic is back and asking for $15K from the fans for its next game, Escape Factory.
- The fandom isn’t happy with this return, and if the developer fails to collect this sum in the next 29 days, it won’t be able to return.
The Day Before was shown as a pretty good game before being launched last year. The game was being developed via Unreal Engine, and it looked so good in the trailers that fans didn’t believe it was a real game.
Needless to say, the game’s hype was pretty high before release, but everything changed on launch. As soon as it was released, the fandom showered it with hate, basically calling the game a scam.
It was nothing like what was shown in the trailer, and due to that, the developer had to refund everyone. Now the studio is back and is asking for $15K to make their next game.
Why it matters: The Day Before was arguably one of the biggest scams in the history of gaming, so the fandom isn’t going to trust the developer after that incident last year.
The developer has made a return on Twitter, stating that everyone deserves a second chance. While that is true, given how fans gave CDPR a second chance to change Cyberpunk 2077. However, these two are completely different situations, and the developers know it.
We deeply apologize to everyone for The Day Before and take full responsibility for what happened.
Fntastic
The developer has also asked fans to check out their plan for Fntastic 2.0, which aims to fix past mistakes. However, as expected, the fandom didn’t welcome the developer after such a horrendous release last year.
Many are questioning the developer’s audacity to come back like nothing happened. The fandom has clearly stated that they can’t trust Fntastic again, and that is the end of it. However, despite that, it has launched a Kickstarter campaign asking for money for its next game.
Fntastic aims to collect $15K for their next game, which honestly doesn’t look that great. As of the time of writing, only $382 has been collected.
The new game it is developing is called Escape Factory. The developer aims to collect $15K, but if it can’t collect this much money in the coming days, it won’t be able to make a return. Fntastic has clearly stated that if the fundraiser doesn’t meet this specific goal, then all of the funds raised for their new game will be refunded.
While the developer has shown courage and tried to make a return, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to collect such an amount after what happened with The Day Before.
