Gamers Are Actually Funding The Devs Behind Infamous Scam Game The Day Before's New Project

It’s hard to believe, but developer Fntastic, the team behind the infamous scam game The Day Before, has returned with a new project on Kickstarter. What’s even more astonishing is that gamers are actually contributing to their new project, Escape Factory, despite the team’s shady past.

The Day Before was initially announced as an ambitious, open-world survival game. However, the project quickly turned out to be a massive scam, with the game barely existing in the first place. The game’s developer, Fntastic, was caught using stolen assets and misleading marketing tactics to hype up the game.

After the backlash, Fntastic seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving many wondering if they would ever see the light of day again. However, it appears that the team has regrouped and is now working on a new project, Escape Factory, a physics-based co-op title that looks relatively harmless compared to their previous endeavor.

The Kickstarter campaign for Escape Factory has a modest goal of $20,000, but the team has already managed to raise almost $3,000 from 36 backers. While the amount may not seem like a lot, it’s surprising to see that gamers are willing to give Fntastic another chance, especially given their history.

The pitch for Escape Factory on Kickstarter is quite brazen, with the team repeatedly mentioning that they have learned from their past mistakes and have undergone significant personal and professional growth. The team promises that they have changed their ways and are committed to creating a high-quality game that will meet the expectations of their backers.

While it’s hard to say whether Fntastic has truly changed its ways, the fact that gamers are willing to give them another chance is a testament to the power of forgiveness in the gaming community. However, it’s also important to remember that Fntastic’s past actions should not be taken lightly, and they will need to work hard to regain the trust of the gaming community.

One thing that’s worth noting is that the stretch goals for Escape Factory include a potential PS5 release, which could be a major milestone for the game. However, it remains to be seen whether the game will actually make it to console, given Fntastic’s history of broken promises.

Ultimately, it will be interesting to see how Escape Factory pans out and whether Fntastic will be able to deliver on their promises. While the team has made mistakes in the past, they have also shown that they are willing to learn and grow. Perhaps, just perhaps, they will be able to redeem themselves and create a game that will be worth playing.
