Concord, a game that was technically competent but that nobody wanted. The Day Before, a game that lots of people wanted but which was technically incompetent. Quite the pair.
Its weird. But basically this is a developer with really high turnover and awful management. Its a new set of junior developers and old awful management.
they did NOT make The Long Dark oh god please don't give Fntastic's bad rep to the devs of TLD. Hinterland (the devs of TLD) are some of the most transparent, honest, communicative and open to player feedback studio I've ever seen as a player. Literally just this summer, they released an update that was disliked by the community. They immediately removed the update, took feedback from Twitter, Steam discussions and their own forums and are completely reworking the update with the feedback in mind. They support streamers of their game, even invite them to playtest features in advance to get community suggestions from them. Anyway, I'm back to being baffled by the sheer gall of Fntastic. I just didn't want my favourite studio's good name being smeared by proxy lol They (Fntastic) did make a sort of winter-setting top down survival game, I think? I seem to remember seeing footage in videos warning about Fntastic before the release of The Day Before. I also heard they abandoned it pretty much on release, so...
Thanks for saying this, I was about to leave a similar comment. Hinterlands shouldn't be associated with these devs. Would be great if Kira could give a quick clarification.
They retroactively confirm with this, that they lied on probably everything before, despite claiming the oposite.... I mean it was very obvious they did, but this simply confirms it now from them too.
Followed by "We need your money for that, support us plx, here is our crowd funding tier, pay thousands and get a dinner with us cause that is super special lolzlolz".
Honey, trust me! I'm a changed man! I've learned my lesson. I've grown so much as a person. I'll do right by you this time!.....I just need 12 grand to get this new opportunity off the ground..... I swear I won't just run off again! You can trust me this time! You know no one loves you like me, baby.😘
If they just finish a good game and release it / sales it as early access on Steam, then they might really have a second chance. But Kickstarter campaign from a team that released The Day Before? Thanks, but no thanks. I doubt anyone has basic intelligence would put money to their Kickstarter campaign.
Kira is genuinely braver than I am. I would have assumed that a pdf from these guys was actually going to try to hack me with a keylogger to steal my money. Mad man indeed
Kickstarter does not do anything about most scams, because Kickstarter receives a percentage of all funded projects. They've been begged to take down scam projects in many cases, and rarely acts on them.
Kinda. . . Makes sense actually. I don't like it either, but if the scammers' kickstarts fail, they fail harder when they have to pay Kickstarter the fee to promote it. It's just going to be a matter of being too stupid to fall for it in the first place. And hopefully, nobody falls for it, and the scammers will have no revenue, no maidens, no bitches, and all the fees they have to pay to Kickstarter.
@@joshuabacker2363 Ah. I see. I was hoping Kickstarter would have the clause I was thinking. . . But at least the scammers won't earn anything if it still happens.
"We'll make more games IF our Kickstarter succeeds." Just... no. Make your game first and that's how you regain trust. Not by asking for even more money.
Exactly. They already burned that bridge. For a new dev, who starts out with a crowdfunded game, I get it. They don't have the money and it's their first run. They might be genuinely just short on cash, but have a successful idea. But not for someone who has already shown they can't be trusted with people's money.
"Why is the Kickstarter goal so small? 14k$ is just a couple of devs for a month." Remember when they said that they'll have to refund the money if they don't reach their goal? That's EXACTLY why the goal is so tiny. So they can realistically swindle 20k dollars out of morons, and distract them with some flimsy excuses for why the game didn't come out while pocketing the money. Then they'll try to do the same thing YET AGAIN in a couple of years.
It's such a pathetic amount of money to try to scam people out of, too. After the kickstarter cut, I can't imagine it's more than 10k. How do you fail your previous grift so badly that trying again with a kickstarter scam for 9k is close to viable? I know they're going to try to leverage a successful kickstarter for more funding,but Still
I checked out their Kickstarter and the game is literally just a bunch of assets they didn't create nor own and the entire game is just a copy paste of Fall Guys, they use the exact same Models as Fall Guys (the characters are literally just Fall Guys made into "humans") and the game is basically just a top down Fall Guys mixed with Human Fall Flat. The game is going nowhere and will go nowhere. The tiers they have are literally just scams. They want you to give them $20 for the game, that doesn't exist and will never exist. They say they don't own the rights to Propnight anymore nor do they own the rights to TDB, but they are saying IF YOU GIVE THEM MONEY they MIGHT make a game similar to Propnight which is the ONLY reason they even became successful. They created a fantastic Prop Hunting game with Propnight that was basically Prop Hunt with Dead By Daylight then they screwed it all up by getting rid of the game and tried to make TDB which was a massive fail. They're selling ANOTHER fake game with hopes they'll make the ONLY game that made them successful in the first place.
"If the Escape Factory Kickstarter campaign doesn't reach its funding goal, unfortunately, we (Fntastic) won't be able to return." - This is the strongest case AGAINST funding their campaign that I can think of. No one wants them to return.
What a timeline we live in, where two games released less than a year appart are competing for fastest shutdown. Their kickstarter pitch is basically a checklist of corpo buzzwords, anyone who gives them money after this (and what they've previously done) must be damaged beyond repair.
They stole their new game idea from a Warcraft 3 Custom Map, lols. Literally the levels are ripped right from it... I think it was called Ice Escape. These guys are hacks for life, lol.
Wait ... No NFT? No crypto? "We’re aiming to raise a modest $20K SGD to support our essential company operations, including basic salaries, until the game’s full release." $20k for basic salaries? Oh do be serious. Same people. Same grift. Scammers through and through.
@@neppity5887 I'm left wondering if "Micheal" is actually either one of the devs or someone they know. Their role is to get the ball rolling to try to instill trust with the public but I hope nobody falls for this scam again.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley "Michael" is a kickstarter meme from 5 years back which is why they mention "Charlie" here. They spent multiple years consistently asking for a refund from a different kickstarter scam called "Air Umbrella" which penquinz0 (Charlie) documented in multiple videos.
@@neppity5887 Now that you say that, I think I heard of this actually from another UA-camr who covers crowdfunding scams 😅. Thanks for the clarification.
Not really. People tend to get tricked, yes, but not by the same source multiple times. People will fall for scams LIKE The Day Before in the future, but I doubt that Fntastic will be the ones who are able to pull off those scams. There's a reason scammers often go to great lengths to rebrand after pulling shit.
Honestly I was expecting a different name for the rebrand but I guess my expectations were too high. Just sticking to that Fntastic name to the end huh.
I'm sure plenty of people have, but Kickstarter as a platform has a long history of supporting scams, and, for all intents and purposes, their Kickstarter is legit. Trailer, playable demo, and more, Fntastic can claim at the end of the day that, Escape Factory at least, is legit.
They're scrubbing it because I left a review that was actually fair and it disappeared right away. Since you need at least 4 concurrent players I wasn't able to actually play the game itself, but the lobby has a controllable character which is not great in the graphics or controls department. You play like a Minion guy playing soccer/football which could be fun in itself if it wasn't very plastic feeling.
Just to say; the Long Dark is definitely not Mytona or Fntastic. It's an actually really good survival game that still gets content, just somewhat slower.
It was a decent game, but buying something that came out of early access as a full game, finishing it and it's just a first episode and there's no others. What? It would probably be fun to play the new episodes now, but I just lost all interest
Our number one priority is honesty. Honesty and transparency, our TWO top priorities are honesty and transparency and professionalism, our THREE top priori- no..

I had a really, really funny moment last night where I went to check their kickstarter and was disappointed to see they had somehow managed to raise $12,853 CAD of their $20,927 CAD goal from 10 backers. I then blinked, and when I opened my eyes again, they had gone from 10 backers, to 9 backers, and from $12,853 CAD to $297 CAD. Absolute comedy.
Ok guys, so Fntastic 2.0 failed, but this time we've really got it worked out! Fntastic 3.0 - The Quest for More Money Also, was that whole document written by ChatGPT? It really feels like it.
I 100% expected them to be back, but damn ... that quickly and under the same name, with the same Twitter account? I thought they'd at least _try_ to hide who they are, but they wear it like a badge of honor! "Look guys, we're those famous scamners! Give us money!"
Kira, compare the icon of twitch with the company one + the logo itself.. did they legit just copy / pasted the twitch one.. it looks so insanely similar. + would love to see a 2nd part to this when u got more info if they got their IP's sold or just gave them away / the ppl that owned the names just left the company. could become something rly interesting.
Release date expected to be December 2024. They need money to make this video game, and it will only take 3 months and 15K to make it. Anyone who's ever played a video game knows this isn't even remotely possible.
Everything sorta seemed "genuine" like they were gonna change for the better, until you see the 700k goal mark! What? 50K steam deck version 100k for ps5 then what 750k for xbox and 1M for mobile version. Are they gonna hire some expert coders for each type of version or something? Absurd! Free dlc for 150k! What dlc cost that amount. In my opinion, that should be given for free to every supporter! The goal wasn't structured well, unless, I am missing something; this doesn't sound like a plan made by professionals. Professional goal, more like a playground of ideas by a bunch of kids! Just what are those goals based on? Please someone clarify that to me!(Seriously!)
There are as many things to pick out from this as dollars that they think they'll make, but I'm going to pick their volunteers thing. "We've discontinued the practice of involving external volunteers, and are now fully committed to a more professional approach." Notice how they refuse to just say that they will have a proper payed staff. They even still said that some members are helping out on a goodwill basis in the very next line. These guys are so bad at lying it's hilarious.
i am suprised they didn't switch name or make a new company and try doing it again pretty bold of them to still think anyone is ever gonna trust them again after the disaster but hearing a kickstarter ye they are gonna get their moneys worth. honestly not gonna be all that sad if people spend tons of money on a kickstarter or anything else without atleast doing some reseach before spending their savings.
This can't be serious. They haven't learned from their earlier debacle, or took away the wrong thing. Keep on lying guys, and Kira will keep on calling you out 👍🏻
It may be so they can leave comments about this being a scam. If I recall correctly, you’re only able to leave a comment on a campaign as a backer, and if you stop backing it gets scrubbed. Back, leave the comment, and wait until shortly before it closes to cancel the pledge.
Classic low amount of kickstarting. Refunds are given only if the goal isn't met right? So as long as the goal is met, they can run with whatever money over the goal while they release a barebones game. Surely people won't fall for this.
Nope you needed to buy Propnight. I know because I did. It was a fun game, and I am very dissapointed that it didn't make it further. Propnight, imo, definitely had some potential, as the idea of a prop hunting game that takes a bit of a more ominous turn was quite good.
He has 10s of thousands of viewers each livestream and a massive community of people denying objective reality. It's a great, even perfect example actually.
@@kirareacts its a massive dropoff from his original numbers, he's a laughing stock of the internet and nobody who isnt the most shadiest scam will partner with him
That isn't a massive drop off at all, considering how long his "break" was, almost no content creators would come back to such a huge number, regardless of any controversy. And he still has and will continue to have partners, large ones. There will also be more, the longer he continues. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but stick around and you'll see I'm right.
I was really waiting for Kira to come at us at the end with a "Ha, fooled you!" or something... but no. Remember the Ventrilo soundboard trolling, with the "I've got BALLS OF STEEL"? I think we found em
That Day Before money lasted longer than I expected. It must’ve just run out. Is it just me? Am I suddenly color blind cos after opining on the “great vibrant new blue logo” there’s a yellow one right underneath. If the “vibrant blue” one is SO GOOD what’s with using the yellow one? God it never ends…
Day Before devs are jealous that Concord stole their thunder, so they're back to prove how it's really done.
Concord, a game that was technically competent but that nobody wanted.

I then blinked, and when I opened my eyes again, they had gone from 10 backers, to 9 backers, and from $12,853 CAD to $297 CAD. Absolute comedy.
All I'm hearing is "Our first scam wasn't meant to become that mainstream, so we're trying again".
they're must be deep in that vodkas while writing this
Ok guys, so Fntastic 2.0 failed, but this time we've really got it worked out! Fntastic 3.0 - The Quest for More Money
Also, was that whole document written by ChatGPT? It really feels like it.
16:11 The Long Dark is by Hinterland Studio and it’s awesome. 0 relation to this clown show.
I 100% expected them to be back, but damn ... that quickly and under the same name, with the same Twitter account?
I thought they'd at least _try_ to hide who they are, but they wear it like a badge of honor! "Look guys, we're those famous scamners! Give us money!"
This is Digital Homicide part 2: Electric Boogaloo, isn't it?
Kira, compare the icon of twitch with the company one + the logo itself.. did they legit just copy / pasted the twitch one.. it looks so insanely similar. + would love to see a 2nd part to this when u got more info if they got their IP's sold or just gave them away / the ppl that owned the names just left the company. could become something rly interesting.
It will only be bad if idiots keep giving them money...
Release date expected to be December 2024. They need money to make this video game, and it will only take 3 months and 15K to make it. Anyone who's ever played a video game knows this isn't even remotely possible.
The return we didn't need but the return we deserved
"A Steam Deck version"
THATS NOT HOW PC GAMING HANDHELDS WORK.
Well, that would be a Linux version so it's true, kinda 🤔🤔
@@cerealmama3879 There ain't no way that's what they meant. They aren't making a Linux version. I'll take bets on it.
@@novelezra obviously, but in other cases it could be
Using SGD is a reasonable move, since it can be traded much more freely than the RUB. Also it is more stable.
The day before had a bunch of promo stuff that they copied from other games... now they take twitch's logo lol
Like the Dark Lord Sauron, somehow they lingered.
How many times do we have to teach them this lesson
It is actually the other way around.
No lesson was taught last time. Whoever didn't refund had their money taken for a scam. They are hoping to do it again.
@@Lornext some hilarious person just bought the 12k package, so yes, it's you who needs to learn
@@jsmith434w dw, twas a joke and they withdrew their pledge.
@@blakksheep736 damn, cant have nice things in this life. gave me a good laugh
How the fuck is this not April Fools day? Lmao
So.. we gonna teach them a lesson again, do we?
Everything sorta seemed "genuine" like they were gonna change for the better, until you see the 700k goal mark! What? 50K steam deck version 100k for ps5 then what 750k for xbox and 1M for mobile version. Are they gonna hire some expert coders for each type of version or something? Absurd! Free dlc for 150k! What dlc cost that amount. In my opinion, that should be given for free to every supporter! The goal wasn't structured well, unless, I am missing something; this doesn't sound like a plan made by professionals. Professional goal, more like a playground of ideas by a bunch of kids!
Just what are those goals based on? Please someone clarify that to me!(Seriously!)
Eduardo is still head of the company and he hasn’t changed at all. Don’t trust any of this slime.
This might actually escalate to a point where people will give them money not to make game again. Playing us with 4D 300iq chessmoves
It's raised $2k, so I mean it's def a possibility lmao
There are as many things to pick out from this as dollars that they think they'll make, but I'm going to pick their volunteers thing.
"We've discontinued the practice of involving external volunteers, and are now fully committed to a more professional approach."
Notice how they refuse to just say that they will have a proper payed staff. They even still said that some members are helping out on a goodwill basis in the very next line. These guys are so bad at lying it's hilarious.
Day Before 2: Money Vacuum Boogaloo.
LET'S FÜÇK¡NG GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I'd like to humbly request the return of the Esdeath waifu pillow to the background.
I'm still not sure these two brothers are actual humans. In every video of them I've seen, there's just nothing behind those eyes.
They didn't even try a new name lol
Hell, they didn't even try a new Twitter account.
i am more scared of beardless Kira, than some shady devs
Yay another content tsunami for Kira on these scammy clowns, love it!❤
Honestly, everyone who donates even a penny 110% deserves to be scammed, its not like it was a minor drama that you could easily have overseen or smth
so kickstarter just solves for Valve refunding 100% of their Steam sales, its a perfect plan
Barely 4 mins into video, but boy am I loving classic Kira commentary on this circus show of a developer. No punches being pulled and I'm here for it.
These guys are already my least favourite recurring boss fight
i am suprised they didn't switch name or make a new company and try doing it again pretty bold of them to still think anyone is ever gonna trust them again after the disaster but hearing a kickstarter ye they are gonna get their moneys worth.
honestly not gonna be all that sad if people spend tons of money on a kickstarter or anything else without atleast doing some reseach before spending their savings.
This can't be serious. They haven't learned from their earlier debacle, or took away the wrong thing.
Keep on lying guys, and Kira will keep on calling you out 👍🏻
"We promise we will do better, with your money."
Somehow Fntastic returned
26:01 I legit spit take'd for the first time in my life. LOL
NOW they are up to 11 backers $224 LOL damn suckers
Probably just family or friends backing them out of pity. Lol
It may be so they can leave comments about this being a scam. If I recall correctly, you’re only able to leave a comment on a campaign as a backer, and if you stop backing it gets scrubbed. Back, leave the comment, and wait until shortly before it closes to cancel the pledge.
now they are up to 13k lol, this comment aged poorly. get pwnd
Classic low amount of kickstarting. Refunds are given only if the goal isn't met right? So as long as the goal is met, they can run with whatever money over the goal while they release a barebones game. Surely people won't fall for this.
Nope you needed to buy Propnight. I know because I did. It was a fun game, and I am very dissapointed that it didn't make it further. Propnight, imo, definitely had some potential, as the idea of a prop hunting game that takes a bit of a more ominous turn was quite good.
James: Same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?
Miss Sophie: Same procedure as every year, James!
gaming youtubers are eating good recently lol, concord, sony ps5 pro now the winners of arseholes of the year are back :D
Fntastic bros... WE ARE SO BACK
4:21 I dont think Dr. Disrespect's children is a good example lmao, people wont let him forget and he has never made anything worthwhile
"Has never made anything worthwhile" sounds like an apt description of Fntastic's portfolio
He has 10s of thousands of viewers each livestream and a massive community of people denying objective reality. It's a great, even perfect example actually.
@@kirareacts its a massive dropoff from his original numbers, he's a laughing stock of the internet and nobody who isnt the most shadiest scam will partner with him
That isn't a massive drop off at all, considering how long his "break" was, almost no content creators would come back to such a huge number, regardless of any controversy. And he still has and will continue to have partners, large ones. There will also be more, the longer he continues. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but stick around and you'll see I'm right.
@@kirareacts no need to glaze the creepy tween sexting wife cheater so hard lmao
I was really waiting for Kira to come at us at the end with a "Ha, fooled you!" or something... but no. Remember the Ventrilo soundboard trolling, with the "I've got BALLS OF STEEL"? I think we found em
Your beard bro, what happened? Were you forced to shave???
Looks better
That Day Before money lasted longer than I expected. It must’ve just run out. Is it just me? Am I suddenly color blind cos after opining on the “great vibrant new blue logo” there’s a yellow one right underneath. If the “vibrant blue” one is SO GOOD what’s with using the yellow one? God it never ends…
