The Day Before Dev Cancels Failing Kickstarter and Announces Another Game

[John Elden Ring]

The Day Before developer Fntastic has cancelled its failing Kickstarter for one game and announced another in the same breath.

Fntastic, who released the utterly disastrous The Day Before in December 2023 before pretending to shut down, resurfaced in September asking for money for a new game: the physics based multiplayer game Escape Factory.

It has now cancelled this project, however, after it reached just 15.73% of its Kickstarter goal with $3,146 raised of a $20,000 goal. "Our campaign on Kickstarter is unlikely to reach our goal," Fntastic said in a statement published to X/Twitter announcing another game.

"After careful analysis and discussion with the team, we have decided that our Escape Factory project has not generated enough interest," it said. The Kickstarter reached the 15.73% mark after four weeks. "With this in mind, we have decided to temporarily suspend work on Escape Factory and postpone it until a more appropriate time."

Fntastic is now allegedly working on Items, an action horror prop hunt game. "Your wishes are very important to us," it said. "This is exactly what many of you have been waiting for."

They should ask Star Citizen's developer how to do kickstarters.
You don't even need to fullfill the promises.

I can't possibly imagine why the kickstarter failed. I'm sure the next one defintely won't end the exact same way, forcing yet another kickstarter announcement.
