The Day Before Developers Just Can't Stop...

[@twitchsopamanxx]

I already got banned from there for saying "If they failed the first kickstarter, what makes you think they will succeed on the second one?".

[@0The_Farlander0]

That's not even offensive. That's a legitimate question

[@NicoTheCinderace]

@@0The_Farlander0 I got banned from the Fear Factory Steam Community Hub for "unwarranted aggression" after I hit them with this: FNtastic: "We value transparency!" Also FNtastic: _"Fuck your opinions"_

[@desertdude540]

Thank you for your service.

[@thatoneguy5856]

Could you post the link?

[@javonyounger5107]

I honestly feel like The Day Before was one of those scams that went too well; it had so much money and attention invested in it that by the time they tried to dip, the bag was too heavy to run off with.

[@kevadu]

I think you're on to something. Lot's of lower profile scams *do* get away with it...

[@cherry9787]

​@@kevadu Mostly due to the attention they garner. Every day, crypto wallets get hacked for $10,000 USD but no one hears or cares because there are 10 hacks of $10 billion a day at this rate

[@legojay14]

Hell kira mentions in this that this was their usual scam method. They just vastly over estimated how much people wanted a detailed zombie game. State of decay is technically what the day before offered in alot of ways. Its just not as polished as this was advertised as. If the company that made it released a 3rd game. With updated tech and graphics. It'd probably grab the audience the day before tried to scam

[@oBCHANo]

It didn't help that you had a bunch of scum streaming it on twitch because "haha guys being scammed is funny haha".

[@planescaped]

@@legojay14 State of Decay always felt like a game with so much potential... but they just never really did enough. There's gold in those hills and they seem content to mine copper.

[@alexstewart9215]

just realised their new logo is just the Twitch font

[@williamhououin]

“The grift that keeps of grifting” 😂😂😂😂 that’s effing gold!

[@boozypixels]

"We forgot how hard it was developing a new game, so we're going to polish a turd we previously released instead"

[@earlofdoncaster5018]

It's like if Peter Molyneux had twins.

[@tdotsmooth]

😂 at least molyneux had a couple of a successful games in the past. These dudes have never done anything and never will.

[@Lenariet]

​​@@tdotsmoothThey have released games, and some seemingly enjoyed a few of them to some degree. But I guess someone will call me a bot or something for saying facts that will not fit the hate narrative.

[@Exotac]

@@Lenariet They created onel game that people somewhat enjoyed for being a semi-competent DBD clone. Except, it didn't last and died within a few months, so no, they haven't actually had anything that one would call properly successful.

[@TheHK_47]

​@Lenariet from what I've seen, propnite was OK, wild 8 was mid and radient one was decent. The rest were aweful

[@cherry9787]

​@@Lenariet Unfortunately, all those games are abandoned or sold out

[@desertdude540]

"It was easy, man. They were going door to door asking if anyone knew any game devs. I said look no further. They asked me if I knew anything about MMOs. I said as much as anyone I'd ever met. They asked me how well I understood game design theory. I said I had a theoretical degree in game design. They said welcome aboard. I'm in charge. This whole operation depends on me. No Fntastic, no game. Got the whole NCR suckling my teats, and it feels so good."

[@roflBeck]

That's a Fantastic reference

[@charlesfuzak]

Dude...that character model on their twitter is literally Frank Stone. From the very recent Supermassive/DBD game The Casting of Frank Stone. Its hilarious how they're still doing what their devs said caused a huge problem. Seeing a new game they liked and attempting to add things they liked about it to their own game on a whim. Its so good.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

No no no didn't you see their response? "We understand that at first glance there may seem to be similarities, especially due to the gray colour and neutral background typical for 3D models. However, upon closer inspection you can see that our works differ in details." See? Totally diffefuck it I can't keep the charade up. It's the same. It's exactly the same. These guys are goddamn thieves on top of being scammers.

[@DeviIInADress]

Oh god you’re right. That is hilariously sad!

[@PinchyTheKittyGirl]

I enjoy this drama almost as much as Keeping Up with the Kaspians.

[@the_ecips9692]

Dito!

[@michaelramon2411]

I guess it's because I listened to the video on 2x speed, but whenever Kira said "Prop Hunt game" I heard "problem game", which... mostly still fits!

[@QALibrary]

I am surprised steam and others will allow them anywhere near there disruption service/shops

[@Zero2Zed]

83% support, it sounds like a Putin poll

[@MrCobalt]

Might as well be, since the developer is Russian. Same reason the lies and grift aren't surprising, either.

[@Jackalgirl]

"Over 1303 people"? So...like...1304?

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

The reason they're convinced people really want a Prophunt "spiritual successor" is because, like, two or three people left replies on their tweets about Escape Factory last month that they liked Prophunt. Not joking around or memeing or whatever, that's seriously what happened.

[@dougray30]

More Kira? It's a GREAT day!

[@johnmagus6341]

I would totally watch a Kira workout video

[@HereticalKitsune]

Quitting Twitter is not a bad move, in general at least.

[@Ins4n1ty_]

kinda is in this case. They moved to discord because there they have the power to silence any detractors to only keep the dumbasses. Isolation is the first step to manipulation, it's part of the grift.

[@HereticalKitsune]

@@Ins4n1ty_ Yeah, it is. Creates a small echo chamber.

[@maxstr]

Yeah, it's like quitting cutting yourself. You can only go up from there 😅

[@tictacterminator]

rule 1 of bad business make contacting you difficult

[@centerfield6339]

Yeah if they're liars who want to control conversation, they shouldn't be on twitter now.

[@justinmacdonald2102]

Honestly those devs blaming youtubers for their game failing is so laughable. Id like to sit them down in a room and show them all the videos they released in order and then the game they released and have them tell me with a straight face that they didnt fuck anything up.

[@the_disco_option]

"Just one more kickstarter. Just one more."

[@everwake2689]

This time it's going to be a great game! This time it won't be a scam! I can't wait to pay for early access!

[@TheOddestJ]

I wouldn’t say you’re milking it mate. I genuinely see you as the one stop channel to find out what’s going on. I always like to know what’s going on with shady devs and I look no further than you! Also, your 2nd channel is seriously the bomb! 👍🏻

[@syper9113]

It’s the like Temu version of the Paul brothers.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

"If Escape Factory fails we'll go away forever!" Escape Factory fails, they try and convince people to fund a different game. oi....

[@koleth1]

So they gone, then they back, then they gone, then they back, then they "For sure" gone.........and now they back. This anime with "the day before" developers will never end, and Kira, I"M ALL FOR IT. Continue the video sagas on these guys. xD

[@Nyrphame]

Missed opportunity to coin the phrase “The grift that keeps on griving”. We need this.

[@DragonSlyr1]

Here we go... again. Cheers, Kira.

[@CainXVII]

"my camera's not on, is it?" Proceeds to turn on camera and sit in complete darkness

[@GojiraRising]

The gift that keeps on shitting.

[@Ins4n1ty_]

The grift that keeps on grifting.

[@DetectiveSiesta]

Not gonna lie, I'm more Interested in what Mia Khalifa is saying about the US military than what fntastic are trying to pass of as a game

[@kylecancilla5483]

Please let this end up being an elaborate troll by someone impersonating them

[@Th3VG7]

You've heard of Todd in the Shadows, now get Kira in the Dark

[@bennygerow]

"we're going to create a new crypto token based on so many inquiries we're getting from our massive and loyal fan base" - Russian grifters (allegedly)

[@mikepike7139]

Clown PR speak is very fascinating

[@Carnyzzle]

Oh my lord, they still believe they can get a Kickstarter funded after no one paid for the last one?

[@hellwolfz6456]

I would not bother joining their Discord, their head mod is on a power trip and bans anyone who does not supports them and also blames Mytona for TDB.

[@alicehiess6508]

The kickstarter will definitely go fntasticly

[@kurts2840]

trying a new angle saying if our mobile games sell then there will definitely be a new prop hunt game so consider buying our trash

[@WeponzTV]

This is what happens when people with little or no game dev knowledge try to "manage" the development of a game.

[@leftybdm]

I'll never forget the day before alarms

[@Sazabi4prez]

Blink twice if you're in some1's basement against your will and no lights

[@EastyyBlogspot]

Thing is with second chances they have to do well....good things before coming back with the begging bowl in their hand, though with what i gather its less a second chance and more like a 5th or 6th chance lol

[@TotalNoob86]

at first, I thought it was "The day before developers just can't stop..." instead of "The Day Before developers just can't stop..." then I saw Fntastic

[@murrethmedia]

If they spent even half the energy they do scamming on actually developing a game they'd probably make more money.

[@rawallon]

Man, they had the MOST wishlisted game OF THE WHOLE STEAM PLATFORM, anything that isnt making that game is just bs

[@TVPInterpolation]

before i watch the video, the very first thing that looks odd to me is their (new?) logo that looks suspiciously like the twitch icon. atleast in borders and overall design.

[@renarenacat]

I love the non-exisistant lighting of your room lol

[@XBluDiamondX]

Ah yes, another FNTASTIC video. The jokes keep writing themselves, eh?

[@tinypixiebread]

"1303 people expressed their support" lil bro thought imagination is counted

[@redking4201]

I swear they only decided to keep going with a different game after the kickstarter failed because a lot of people were asking for another prophunt game on the discord. There's an actual audience for it unlike the fall guys inspired game. That poll is sus but I stalk the discord and seems there's a cult following behind their previous prophunt game.

[@ferdinand12390]

Makes me think it’s bots or something asking for it

[@Jzolago]

Welcome back friendos

[@celticlightning9703]

Sounds like they are trying to squeeze the well dry. Trying every angle to see what gets them better results on the cash flow.

[@BismuthKaiju]

People like this are wild. To have no shame or awareness of how people see you. I can't believe they are even trying, they were embarrassed on such a massive scale.

[@Jpcraque]

0:37 wrong! That was Concord!

[@This-Was-Sparta]

They never make progress on their games cuz they're too busy moving goalposts all day.

[@Captain.AmericaV1]

They're gaming cockroaches!!

[@badlywornshoes]

At this point, I literally find myself asking, "Can this really be legal?"

[@BOSSposes]

Yeah i have no idea how steam is letting this happen

[@kevinmccluskey7829]

Must feel good to be sooo correct on this entire saga!!!

[@CzechPlays]

How many rooms did Kira switch in the past few years ? I swear that every 10 videos, Kira is in a different recording room o.o

[@darkerarius]

Aaawww, they couldn’t even be bothered to change their twitter handle to fntastic 2.0?

[@ferdinand12390]

Too bad they already locked they Twitter replies, I loved going to they page and call them out

[@Nyonben]

Someone called me friend(o) today 👍

[@thekornreeper]

Oh boy

[@Jorge-np3tq]

Kira's room is darker in every video until we only see black and a voice ranting about grifts from the depths of the darkness.

[@skysoftware4581]

A fool and their money and all that 😂

[@itsMett8]

The Linkin Park jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@deamonengineer6107]

the people in the pole were concord execs, they needed a bigger flop to happen

[@Slugbunny]

Free money is too good to pass up.

[@kylegusek]

How easy is it to create an account to fund a Kickstarter project? Is it possible for the devs to pump thier own project like a sh coin?

[@ztriker4406]

Yup it is I saw some people their with project needing 100bucks and 1 account donated 80 Seems sus to me

[@CollaateraL]

Lfg thanks Kira 🐐

[@Gn8Lif3]

Would be interesting to see what came of all thier other nongame projects they introduced while everyone was waiting for the day befor too 😂

[@FordThunderCougarFalconBird]

Kira, you don’t have to upload in the dark. I was just messing with you about your hair in the comments of your last video. You see I’m kind of a but hole. 🤷‍♂️

[@elitereptilian200]

wasn't that escape factory, its demo at least a 100% straight unmodified asset flip?

[@georgiee00]

Mate you’re looking handsome 😉

[@nonna_sof5889]

Hey algorithm. Help Kira pay rent!

[@LordPicasoNL]

Why does the font they use for their logo look like what Twitch uses?

[@MikaelaExtra]

Hey! cant we like, idk troll them? just praise them on random stuff and see if they follow along

[@christopherbaker7209]

Are you saving money on lighting?

[@peterdean653]

13:30 lmao

[@sigh-cosis]

Don't worry Kira, you didn't influence me to not buy the game. The signs were all there before release that the game was sketchy

[@skycatlive1576]

This VIDEO has ten times the support your game does, time to call it quits, clowns =) Once Human = ACTUAL DAY BEFORE

[@theirishotaku8823]

Griftmas has come early!

[@birkinsmith88]

maybe they're being egged on by trolls?

[@thepixelcatcher]

What fans? Those two are delusional liars.

[@Andy_Ross1962]

Your audio seems to be out of sync again.

[@OgOssman]

Whats funny is, its 2 brothers and they act like they NEED MONEY to develope a game. Like ah Nooo. Go get a job and develope it in your spare time, then release a finished game, you dont need money to make a game,

[@cleews_]

Not going to support Fntastic. Going to support the KZbinrs who capitalise on Fntastic greed. :)

[@urogoth]

Use your power to shut down all the gacha games please... lol

[@ectothermic]

I see they're also still just stealing concept and design ideas. Like Frank Stone. -- Oh someone mentions it at the end. Yep.

[@ilovefriday5870]

Not again

[@jakecooper5855]

Why bother with a camera when you're sitting in darkness?

[@jajuan7841]

Theres something about this thumbnail... its very off-putting 😂 i cant be the only one who felt this

[@ghstproject]

They probably don't know how to impliment updates so instead of updating the game they sold to people they are just making a new prop hunt game LMAO! Also didnt they promised to make like a fall guys clone and had a demo on kickstarter wich was just another gameplay template from the unity store and they thought people would not notice? What are these idiots doing dude :D

[@mon-6166]

The room is so well lit

[@HandFromCoffin]

Russian... explains everything.

[@hjorhrafn]

Oh, ork grifters grifting again? Yippee. How much of this cash would end up going to krokodil?

[@rune5416]

lets go another flop from the worst ''developer'' ever

[@leafdog2714]

Dude... Why is your room evil

[@Muzzino]
