The Day Before: A New Direction for Fntastic

The Day Before developer Fntastic has canceled the Kickstarter for its new game, Escape Factory, which aimed to offer a fresh take on the survival MMO RPG genre. With funding falling short at just $3,146 towards a $20,000 goal, the studio has decided to temporarily suspend development.

From Escape Factory to Items

  • The team gauged interest in a new prop hunt game, leading to the announcement of Items, an action-horror experience.
  • Fntastic noted that over 87% of participants expressed a desire for a return to this genre.

Fntastic is focused on honesty and transparency with their community, promising much-needed player engagement moving forward. In parallel, the studio will also develop mobile games, with all funds generated directed towards the development of Items.

Challenges and Future Prospects

This decision marks a significant shift for Fntastic, which previously faced challenges with The Day Before amid a controversial hate campaign. The studio is determined to forge a path with original ideas, all while ensuring player participation in their upcoming projects.
