Already got banned from the games Steam forum pages for questing their motives. They are deleting discussion threads and comments like mad to push their past transgressions down.
They have 32 backers now at $11,541 of their $15,000 goal....why oh why are people backing this thing 😂
@@alienbrain1504 It is impossible to get $11k out of 32 backers, clearly just investors who were going to invest already, most likely from their own company to make it seem like they have support
@@alienbrain1504 Oh, that's depressing
(Hopefully, it's also fudged somehow)
😅😅
If someone give them money i dont even feel sorry for them.
The number one Days Gone fan just pledged 12k o.O has to be a meme xD
Neither do i, tbh.
@@losolosonsky Wait WHAT 🤣
Yeah, i dont either
Unfortunately they have 32 backer right now and so far gotten $11,541 getting close to $15,000 stretch goal, who this backer is either have no idea and clueless of who they are backing the kickstarter project or they do know who they backing just want to see this scammer to come back and scamming more people. That is if they succeed the kickstarter and meet the stretch goal but that is unlikely.
They're reporting any negative comment on Kickstarter, deleting any negative comment off Steam, and have disabled downvotes on their trailer video (but forgot to disable comments....which was hilarious).
"Honest and transparent" indeed.
I got banned for "unwarranted aggression" from their community hub.
Ah yes, because calling out bullshit and calling out the fact that they're censoring posts is "unwarranted".
Fool me once, Fntastic 1.0. Fool me twice, Fntastic 2.0.
😂
Fool me thrice, you're picking on an idiot and that's horrible of you
They're gona fool you again
No way we're hearing about this game again ahahaha
They should be in jail, not on Kickstarter.
Kickstarter should actually ban them from their platform, based on past behaviour.
@@louieberg2942 So should Steam
The game was objectively good besides the lag and server issues. It could've been a decent singleplayer. It had a good concept and a foundation, it was just not made for online mmo.
@ochiazic bait used to be believable.
@@PureColumbianCocainum1949 Such a nice original comment, NPC.
The audacity! There's a post about the current free asset used on Escape Factory as well, so it’s possibly a repeat
Well knowing them, they are gonna use this game to advertise a new app they have been working on, and then will pull this one as soon as they cash in.
This relaunch is 100% based on the premise A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted. Let's see how many fools fall for this
Many are going to fall for New World Aeternum, if that's possible then anything is.
I wished people would stop calling it a game. It clearly never was meant to be a game, it was a scam that got more attention than they wanted.
The fact that their kickstarters almost funded is ridiculous. It's at $11,000 now
Are you kidding me right now?
We don’t know who contributed that money. Could be straw contributors to prop up future schemes with an air of legitimacy.
@@mikebierle1979 Yep. Fntastic contributed. It is what is known as seed money to make something looks successful. Just another scam.
Weirdly, there were folks that wanted to make a private server for the game, after it was proven to be a scam/asset flip. I would believe there's people just that dumb to fall for it over and over.
Imma guess 100% of the money is from people related to or inside the company. This whole thing is a scam. Just watch. It's gonna get "funded" and they're going to be all like "Thank you for your support, we're back, blah blah blah".
There's NO way people outside the company are supporting these jokers.
They need to be sent to prison. Borderline fraud.
This is like an ex-partner that put you through hell saying "But I'll do better! I promise! I'll be different!"
Taking full responsibility for the game would be to do a No man's sky and fix the damn game you put out already.
There is now $11,500 raised with 32 backers…
I wonder how much of it is from the founder to make it seem like there's more funding/trust than actually exists lmao
@@AnymMusicRight, who in their right mind would give them money, let alone that much for whatever the hell this mobile ahh looking game is...
I was looking at the Kickstarter, someone gave the $12,000. On Kickstarter they say they have 9 of 10 left for that tier but it also says that the $12,000 tier is sold out. I think a dev gave the money and then they sold it out so no one would find out that's what they did.
Look like someone try to gambling on this 2.0 company. 😂
There's a lot of people with more dollars than sense.
The Day Before happens when novis programmers take on projects way above their skill level.
Those hobby programmers have no clue about anything. Second chances are for people who want to actually redeem themselves. They could have kept working on The Day Before, like Hello Games did on No Man's Sky or create a new company and work on a new small game in silence, release it on STEAM (not early access) and show everyone they are now seriously working as game devs.
Instead they come back with same antiques that are no different than before. Looking for free money, free labour and use the term "professionalism" like they know what it means.
You guys I don't think I'm gonna contribute to this Kickstarter ☹
Fntastic announces a new game: “The Day After”
Fntastics slogan is equivalent to: "Build Back Better"
Force the reason why the brothers FNtastic didn't care about the proceeds from The Day Before is because all the money they made was from their publisher while "working" on the game. Think at least one brother was getting 6 figures. I'll bet most of the money from games sales was to go to the publisher, another reason for them not to care.
"Make Fntastic Great Again"
I can't imagine how they can shamelessly promote themselves again.
Somehow Fntastic returned
1 downvote. I think fntastic watched this video. 🤣🤣🤣
they could at least kiss me before asking for my money.
Okay, but it’s 100% believable that they have merch sold out. I kind of want a hat. It’s just kind of funny to have merch from this obvious scam company that will be gone again in like a month. I can see people buying it. It’s like internet history at this point. Heh.
One of their power points is to not lie. lol
Lies, lies, lies ,lies and more lies....lies and LIES!
The plate of food looked like mush lol
You forgot a very crucial point in their Kickstarter. They say:
"All of the artwork in Escape Factory is handcrafted by our dedicated team. From the characters to the factory environments, every detail is carefully crafted to bring the game world to life. We put heart into designing each part, ensuring everything feels unique and full of personality."
But, as it turns out, they are using free assets and some bought assets available on the internet. So, yeah, every detail is carefully handcrafted indeed. 😆
Add to this that most of the code in their demo comes from a freely available Unity demo. So this whole thing is just an asset flip they're attempting to cash in on.
Heck, even the company's name feels like a ripoff of Fnatic.
they came back to claim the throne from concord
As i saw that yesterday, i walked around openmouthed and speechless for some minutes. It is SO impudent of em. Holy hells. Ridiculous and enraging at the same time.
19:30 -> 19:35 - You argue about the why, since your claim was that they didn't make any money.
If I give you $100k to make a product, you spend $10k of it on a product, and that product fails, did you make no money?
No - You made $90k.
That's why they're back.
I like where they said they refunded people but didn't mention THEY HAD TO because Valve forced it.
"but it wasn't a cash grab because we didn't take any money from anyone! we did a whole multi-year boondoggle just for the fun of it!"
I know a Dev team that makes a game with NO BUDGET.
They all have Day Jobs and make it in their spare time.
12:48 How I feel about the entire gaming industry nowadays.
Same
Biggest gaming failure? Ohh I don't think anything will beat Concord in that 🤣
Oh The Day Before did before Concord released by shutting down in 4 days.
@MsaneGaming yeah but they lost $400 million dollars because they made Concord, the same can't be said about the day before. The day before was meant to be a scam and Concord wasn't, it was just really bad.
@@PureColumbianCocainum1949 Just saying that The Day Before still counts. especially since they made Propnight
@@MsaneGaming The only thing is that Concord was *meant* to be a game, whereas The Day Before just... wasn't.
I can also sense they’d be the type of studio to buy their own merch
I wasn't there to support them before, and apparently I won't be there this time. Did they actually think anyone would?
What did they do with the millions upon millions that they had? Some went into the game yes, but you can tell it was the bare minimum. I'd LOVE to see the books, all I'm sayin'
How you know they had millions? A backwater company largely employing volunteers. Who would have given them that much money? Did I miss something? My impression was that their publisher Mytona was basically them. You think NVIDIA or some other sponsors invested this much?
I tried to warn people in my circle, including some game devs and they were telling me to STFU. Funny how this gotcha and that Forever Winter gotcha got people just off of trailers.
"hey guys.. i can change" - saddam song from the south park movie.
Didn't they just straight up sell the rights to Propnight?
They've abandoned literally every single game they've ever made.
Billy McFarland is attempting a Fyre festival 2, Day Before the the video game version of that.
They have a Kickstarter hoping to raise $20k to get their new game to release. Ignoring their stream of lies and deceptions, if they can't scrape together $20k on their own, they are not stable enough to build a video game.
Tell lies on the internet?? Would people really do that??
The sad thing is their new company pillars are typically assumed values - no lying & professionalism. You can't operate in any space without honesty & integrity.
One thing i cant help noticing, their new "game" looks quite well and polished, in honesty to well for what could feasable in 9 months.
They learned something from their mistakes... they probably found a way to prevent/avoid refunds for their next scam
The Notorius 😂😂😂😂
this shows the "integrity" of Kickstarter. they don't care about their users/backers, all they care about is money. If a project get greenlighed but backers dont get what they were promised, well, too bad...I backed a game project in 2014 (I even paid an extra to get a key for the WiiU) but the game is still in "development". Kickstarter? Never. Again.
Maybe they didn't change the studio name because they knew people would find out who they really were.
I must say, if you're going to try to sell me food, at the very least make it LOOK appetising...
I would absolutely wear thier merch just for the meme, as long as the money didnt go to them!
There are a lot of gamers out there that don't keep up with gaming media that will get scammed by this gang. The game industry isn't their only exploit btw.
I gotta say they were the most entertaining failure of a decade. I had a lot of fun watching people play and rant on their game. 😂
The fact one of their goals is to raise 700k for a creator mode for this “game” is hella obnoxious 😭
We all want what they show initially, but not from them...
These devs have the biggest balls in the industry
This is so painful, I hope they don’t get a dime.
Someone bought the 12,000$ kickstarter package LOL
They are gonna be "honest" from now on, right? Yet their merch is suddenly "sold out" already? heh.
Just checked the kickstart and seems there are now 32 backers. Lets see how long it will take them to make this game and then fail.
I'll lose faith in humanity if they get the 15k.
I don't understand why they let them try to scam people again ? Like no authority can stop them ? I'm not talking about jail or anything but wouldn't you be forbidden to remake a company after that disaster ?
Whenever Fnastic post something new, Force be like,
.
.
.
.

its free real estate
Fntastic devs blink if you’re being held against your will
They really...really....REEAAAALLY want everyone to know they didn't take preorders for the day before. They seem to think this absolves them of something? Or are they just desperately clinging to the one thing they did that wasn't as shady? But no one seems interested in the rhetoric and it continues to feel disingenuous.
You know what I find very weird they say its a prop hunt game ( which they made before and it failed after like 2 weeks) but then the game play is like some co-op fall guys that turns out to be an asset flip and they need money to finish it when it looks finished.... if anyone gives them money that's totally on you and I hope there's no refunds this time.
This company is scorched earth.
"Goodwill basis"... probably means they are working for them now for free -- but, as soon as they "make some money" they will get paid. >< lol
Good.
Time for them to shear more sheep.
Feeling sorry for sheep is very silly.
Having "Day" anywhere in your game's title is a red flag. Change my mind.
Perfect example of "trust me, bro"
At-least they aren't pretending to be some new company.
I literally hate them.
The Day After... You threw your money into the drain, yo.
..And why aren't they in jail??
scummy Devs. I can't believe they aren't Forever blacklisted from steam
I'm surprised Kickstarter haven't banned them
Shit-show 2.0 sounds like fun.
How can they sell anything again on STEAM? Didn't steam cover the losses for the first debacle? why would they allow them to sell anything on STEAM again?
Their mission statement feels AI generated
What I don't get is why they kept the same name. I feel they would've had more success at scamming people if they simply made a new start-up with a different name instead of trying to go for the whole redemption angle. Sure, people would eventually find out who they were from the names of the people in the new company, but by then they'd likely have way more backers from the more ignorant "investors" with too much money.
EDIT: You bring up this point halfway through the video. My bad.
all they have to do is apologize and show they wanna change by releasing a legit good game. too much yapping. no way im gonna trust people like that
forgot this was even a thing
also it sounds alot like ... remember that russian based wow tbc private server that got all kinds of money then disappeared ? ... yeahhhhh
The train wreck that never ends...
Will there be a constant alarm sound this time??? Because we will DEFINITELY miss it if it isn't there..........
The "Fntastic back to win" T-shirt.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm dead!
To all who bought the day before, or gave them the chance to sell you their scam. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. YOU DIDN'T PUNISH THEM ENOUGH THE FIRST TIME. I BLAME ALL OF YOU.
They need money from Kickstarter to make a mobile game ?😂
God dammit I'm starving to give up on everything hahahaha
At the time of me watching this video, the Kickstarter has $2,193 with 32 backers.
DON'T FALL FOR THIS SHAM COMPANY!!!
No one talks about how Nvidia blindly promoted this on their TH-cam channel 5+ times.. Boasting about Raytracing and DLSS and showing off "Gameplay" still to this date all the videos are on their channel. Completely lied and mislead their customer base. I love my 4080 but fuck the Nvidia marketing team...
Like many others, I wishlisted The Day Before as soon as I saw the initial trailer, and couldn't wait for it's release. You were the first one I saw start talking about your suspicions with how it would turn out. Kept me from spending time and money on that game. Loved your breakdowns and how much research you put into everything. Keep up the good work! Love your stuff!
People throwing money at this company shows how dumb some gamers really are.
Dude, do not tell them how they could keep their appearances up and how to scam more people. This may be the only advice they take from the video. LOL
Maybe there is an incentive to keep the brand which is closely related to the publisher or just big egos involved. Probably a bunch of people with inherited money to burn who want to "play" developer regardless of financial success.
People please do not be dumb enough to support these developers.... Its allready insane enough that these people are not in jail for the huge scam they tryed to pull off. And now after a bit of laying low they are back...? Just like that? Without consequences? Pure insanity!!!! Don't give a cent to these people, no matter what they promise.
So I forget that not everyone watches the same TH-cam channels and whatnot as me. Like days after The Day Before came out my friend was chatting with me on discord and asked “did you see that the day before was a big scam??” and I was confused and said yeah, like a year or two ago. I don’t know if other channels or sites pinned in on it as soon as Force did but it is something that still caught me surprise that not everyone already knew.
Anyone that sends them money deserves to be scammed
Everybody deserves a second chance .... this is one of the most idiotic sayings of all time. So the guy that stabbed your kid to steal his sneakers needs a second chance? Or the guy that broke into your home and played with your family (not monopoly) while you were away, disserves a second chance? It's stupid
It should be "some people disserve a second chance". There, fixed it.
