The Rise of Fntastic 2.0
In a surprising turn of events, the developers behind the ill-fated survival MMO The Day Before have resurfaced with a renewed vision. After the closure of studio Fntastic following the disaster of The Day Before, former team members have announced Fntastic 2.0, aiming for a fresh start and redemption.
The New Approach
Fntastic 2.0’s core values are honesty, transparency, and professionalism, as outlined in their official plan. The developers have acknowledged past mistakes and lack of communication and are now committed to being transparent in their development process and providing accurate information to their audience.
Professionalism at the Forefront
Moving away from a volunteer-driven model that contributed to the issues with The Day Before, Fntastic 2.0 aims to establish a more professional approach. While details are scarce, the team plans to recruit industry experts, enhance the skills of existing employees, and elevate their standards across the board.
A Glimpse into the Future
Accompanying the announcement of Fntastic 2.0 is the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for their new game, Escape Factory. This multiplayer co-op escape game draws inspiration from popular titles like Fall Guys and Party Animals, featuring cute factory workers navigating perilous traps. A demo of Escape Factory is already available on Steam.
Challenges Ahead
Despite the enthusiasm for Escape Factory, Fntastic’s Kickstarter campaign is struggling to gain traction. With only a fraction of their goal raised and skeptics questioning their motives, the road to redemption appears steep for the studio.
An Uncertain Future
While Fntastic’s efforts to revitalize their brand are commendable, skepticism looms large among potential players. The specter of past failures with The Day Before casts a shadow over the studio’s comeback, leaving many to question the authenticity of their intentions.
Lingering Doubts
Attempts to reach out to Fntastic’s founders and developers have yielded no response, adding to the air of uncertainty surrounding the studio’s revival. The lack of communication only serves to fuel doubts about Fntastic’s ability to deliver on their promises.
A Rocky Road Ahead
Fntastic’s journey back from the brink hinges on the success of Escape Factory. However, with the Kickstarter campaign faltering and trust in the studio at an all-time low, the prospects for a true revival remain bleak at best.
