This is the greatest weird fake game of All Time Merch moistglobal.com/ I stream every day / moistcr1tikal Video about the game • IT'S REAL(LY) Getting ...
@@pineapplepizzagaming8018 True...Well if you're short on cash and live in the states, there's always a doc-in-the-box. roughly 75-120 bucks for the visit. under $10 for the Zythromycin/Zpack or whatever antibiotics you may require.
For anyone coming back to this video, it aged like fine wine. Just 4 days after The Day Before released, the studio founders shut down Fntastic Studios and made off with all of the money they made. Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev are the brothers behind Fntastic Studios and the ones running this scam. They've been doing this same thing for almost 10 years, but never on this large of a scale. Don't let them continue to steal innocent gamers money when they inevitably appear in a few years with a new video game scam.
I think what happened was, they released the initial reveal trailer as a proof of concept, to gauge the interest for a project, and then got way too excited trying to deliver on something even a triple A studio would struggle to develop. They set the bar too high for themselves and are now doing this balancing act - trying to capitalize on the fanbase they cultivated, but on a budget that is nowhere near enough, so they keep pushing back the game hoping to salvage the situation.
That's actually sad tho... What Dayz fan wouldn't want updated visuals Dayz? Regardless of difficulty level it would be nice to have the option to switch between these games.
Dunno if you noticed, but the zombies did exactly two things. They either crouched and growled loudly or they ran forward in a straight line (not necessarily toward the player). Says something about the AI's level of development, at a minimum.
Not the first dude who say this scam 4 billion lightyears away. There's another YTber who the first thing they said a year ago after seeing the game...its a scam...a little before Charlie did.
This is like me bragging about the cool games I had at home on my PC (that never functioned when my friends visited that were basically Garry's Mod scenes with custom HUDs loaded in... (True story...)
What I think is that they're doing what I did when I was an indie developer: get too excited about the idea of a game, start making devlogs to gather hype thinking I could fulfill promises I was too early in development to achieve, throw shit together trying to maintain the fanbase I created and was now afraid to loose incase they'd never come back. Note to developers: just don't make promises until you are chin deep into development. you'll save yourself a lot of stress. edit: i misspelled lose but im going to keep it like that just to annoy nerds who correct grammar on social media posts :)
Yup this is exactly what it feels like. They had sort of an idea how the game would play like and what it would be. Started hyping it up to get some people behind it and get a fan base, but now they are struggling to get the game together how they imaged it so they are just trying to at least do something about the mounting pressure.
I agree. They also could just say “this is what we want to do and our goal is this” instead of “this is absolutely what’s going to be there please don’t leave we promise it’ll be good”
It's rarely the developers, and more usually, pressure from the company that owns or is funding the game being developed. It's those detached idiots who always want to stress release dates and micros.
My dad always used to tell me about some French Jean designer who didn’t have the money to make his product but he had enough to market. He spent all his money on marketing and billboards rather than creating a product, and when the demand for the jeans for really high, he was able to get a loan from the bank to make the jeans. That entire story sounds entirely ridiculous now that I’m older but maybe the day before is a case of that 👀
That actually makes a lot of sense, generate buzz for something you wanna make, then use the buzz to make it happen. I think its a combination of this and the fact they didn't realise how hard it would actually be to make their product a reality because I doubt anyone they try hire specifically for this project would want to start from the ground up
@@LukasQueen just make sure it your ip they want because many shrewed greedy investors will rick your marketing with there own creation in the exact same category takeing any possible investments and pre orders
It's super interesting to me that no one caught on to that. I'm no mastermind, but I thought this was the case with most, if not all low-budget dev teams.
@@stockmahogany nah better, considering the character didn't look as obnoxious and clearly GTA VI is early in development This looks like a demo made to look "good" but in reality it's simple underneath, and it has assets that don't fit
@@stockmahogany I think it looks more like the character model from the rebooted tomb raider series with some polish on it, the whole game looks like its parts of other games from recent years
I agree, I feel like after cyberpunk ppl should have really toned down hyping games up to hell and learn to stop pre ordering them. (Luckily nobody paid for this game)
@@vespernight4236 Atleast the cyberpunk hype was somewhat justified because CDPR was being carried by their previous game when it came to keeping people's hopes up. Before they shattered those hopes on release. This game and this dev though? I have no idea.
@@timedeos4320 Not anymore, they were taken down. They still have not applied to trademark, copywrite, or license any of their materials other than the failed attempt to trademark the game's name. Which they were denied, so the game will need to be called something else. But they have not applied since many months ago, which is a massive red flag that the product does not exist. It's a major ordeal with get trademark and copywrite, no business no matter how big or small would ever risk that amount of time to pass after a denial. Fact is, The Day Before is not real, it's an investor scam by russian frausters hiding in russia, and possibly connected to the russian mob if the history of their businesses are correct (call centers that did romance scams and investor scams).
Bro you ain't kidding at first I was thinking 'ehhh it'll be a generic female characters it won't be xxxtra thick" then I saw the character lol they legit have her a cake.... They are banking on the rule 34 crowd to save the game
@@thedoge9590 while it's easy to point fingers at the "rule 34 crowd" and laugh at the coomers but like... It was always like that, sex always sells since the beginning of human civilisation
*You can tell some games won’t deliver* based on their ambitions.. this is one of them, “You can create your own base!” “ *Oh Cool* “ “You can also have children and if they get sick - there’s a 50:50 chance they’ll make it - and if they don’t.. your spouse will blame you and that brings in the ‘Grief system’ where you have to repair your marriage before it ends in divorce and your character must pay child support till he kills himself” “ *Ummmm.. alright* “
I mean I'm down with a dark zombie game, I think the 50/50 thing is BS but has there been a zombie game where it stresses how important/vital medicine looting is (besides half assed state of decay)? The grief thing just feels like This War Of Mine.
Yep, when they say shit like this you know 100% it's bullshit Reminds me of an mmo on kickstarter that claimed you can build your own town and be a king or a farmer Like... Why would i want to be a farmer in an mmorpg?
This. They want more attention on stuff they actually make like that Continent voice conference app that they showed on their not-really-behind-the-scenes video that was supposed to be about the game but it looked more like a vlog of themselves with barely any details about the game while using their Continent app.
they should have started the pre-order scam,make up a release day, throw some crappy game play last minute put together, polish it up, may be once every 3 months, make the scam look real, and will get a lot of money use that money to invest into some thing, then cancel the game and return the money.
What a time to be alive. We can get amazing games once in a while, with total bullcrap in the middle to fill the gaps. I don’t even play these types of games, but I’m so tired of hearing about and buying into a cool concept for a video game only to see it be something else.
@monkaS is Life No he is right because all the dlc for Destiny 1 was supposed to be base game content but Activision fired the writer Joe Staten and rewrote the script so they could make the 4 parts into DLC
@coby wright Yep! And TBE fact that the whole DLC scheme/scam has ruined gaming because Destiny isn't the only game where later DLC was supposed to be apart of the actual original game & storh, smfh. Or how DLCs are the focus instead of going ahead of either making a new game apart of an already successful series(GTA), or another game to prequel or sequel to a series of the storyline! (too many to use an examples) Smfh!😒
What? What kind of logic is that? The market is completely fine, it's the peoples fault for shitting themselves. That's like saying "the market is bad cause there are 20 McDonald's in my town and everyone wants to eat there!".
as opposed to people shitting their pants over a bi-annual addition to an AAA franchise that never delivers? compared to that I think getting excited over a zombie game that finally looked decent isn't that bad, haven't an actual good one since l4d2
I think what happened was they wanted to make this game, so they threw together the initial trailer as a pitch, hoping to get investors or a publisher on board. It generated a ton of buzz, but didn't work, and now they've made all these little trailer videos trying to get anyone to fund the project, but fans wanted gameplay. So they stalled as long as they could so the team they have could throw together this "vertical slice" as a last ditch effort, hoping SOMEONE will see the buzz it's gotten and throw them some money to finally make it.
Exactly. If it released without being exposed they'd have a bunch of money and a player base waiting for updates. They'd be able to string it along into some profit
"Why would they fake a game?" They genuinely wanted to do it. and just got why in over their heads. Wouldn't be the first time someone saw an opportunity and it never materialized. Happens all the time.
@@Kogasengaha_Hishoshi Looks they are still holding out hope they can pull it off. Or just haven't accepted/won't admit they bit off more than they could chew.
@@kevinmach730 Because it IS a promising venture. Just a venture that will never see fruit, it was a risk. But when you have, again. A polished Trailer/teaser snippet of that sort of lvl, should of said at least somethin lol They want to hold onto it but it will never have anything substantial of course.
Nope. They are investor scammers, it's all about money. Fast cash to crypto they can hide away for any authority that comes looking. They just got too ambitious and greedy, so they marketed their latest scam far too much, earning big sponsor money from nvidia. I'm willing to bet if these two fraudsters don't disappear into obscurity in the next year, they will be arrested very soon.
@@kevinmach730 Fraudster will always double down. Admitting to any transparency will reveal their criminal behaviors. More than likely these brothers are very much involved with the russian mob. Look them their names on russian web, and you'll find their other aliases. They are wanted for bank fraud in 4 countries. INTERPOL wants their real names too. Which is why you'll never see them leave their little shithole town in russia. They are hiding there.
Im pretty sure this game was going to exist, but It was only a popular idea in the begining, then the team realized what they promised wasn't possible for them so they've just been stringing us along until this
Maybe so I do think switching to unreal engine 5 at the kast second was a horrible choice and that could be the reason behind the lack of polish vs the other trailers. Either way they need to be more transparent
The games they have released were quickly abandoned as soon as they made some money, so even if they did plan to make it, it was probably still gonna be a scammy money grab.
This feels, at least in this moment, more like a small company that overhyped what they could do and are scrambling when people are asking why it's taking so long.
Well these devs already have a bad reputation, so it is beyond understanding people's reactions given they launched 2 games in the past and dropped them for no reason and with poor excuses. This is why everyone thinks it is a scam instead of an actual game that got delayed, and obviously the big question of, who develops an entire game and announces it without securing the trademark first, it has laziness and lack of reliability written all over, it is just weird. I wanted to believe so hard but with the past history of the devs i rly dunno.
@@ChemicalViruS004 fyi, just fuel to this fire, but they were DENIED their trademarks months ago and have not applied again, something no legitimate business no matter how small or large would ever do. I've got a feeling that lawsuits are gearing up, but who knows since the brothers are hiding in russian mob cities in a at-war criminal-run country that is currently the enemy of the free world.
It’s honestly a shame that the video game industry has now turned into this giant husk of its former self, full of scams, shitty development time frames, and shady practices Edit: Yes I know this type of behavior has been around in the industry for years, its just been getting worse for the past 10 years
As opposed to being thrown together quickly last minute, I think this is actually all they've been able to get done in the years they've been developing it
I’ve seen the proposition by some people that the original trailer was supposed to be a behinds doors proof of concept for publishers, that they decided to release to the public to gauge interest. It caught WAY more attention than they imagined and they’ve been forced to play along for this past year.
That's horse shit, has games like Dayz and other zombie survival games not exist? It's to built hype and they know it. It's the same shit over and over again for many years. Oh and also, fortnite was actually initially a zombie survival game.
There's a motivation to create a 'fake game' because of that gauging interest. You take the time to make a nice trailer and/or some fake gameplay footage, and if people are actually interested then you can start developing. But it's a waste of time to make a product that people aren't interested in. If this is all they're doing, it should be a fairly normal practice. I don't mind at all, and it even seems like a good idea. Considering all the crunch, low pay, etc. going on in the game industry, at least they can work on things that people will actually care about, buy and play.
@@macfurrywong8108 I think you completely missed what I was trying to say. I'm not at all excusing them, but it's very much possible they released a proof of concept business trailer to see the response and got more than what they asked for. Remember they've gained literally nothing from showing these trailers. No preorders, nothing. So there isn't really any malintent so far on their end.
@@TINJ_ Agreed. Again, I don't know why people are that angry when they haven't made a penny off of us yet. I totally see the reason to be skeptical and even i'm skeptical but the game literally has no preorder system.
I have some experience in the game industry, and I would say that they intended to release something kind of like the original trailer, but underestimated how difficult it was. They got some nice models and effects, tightly scripted it out (any parts that are not walking simulator totally faked). They ground out the render at like 1fps and thought they had it in the bag. Then the moment the huge variety of systems (e.g. AI, animation, survival systems, narrative, etc) started clashing with each other and the performance requirements, they realized they were toast. If you build things out of off-the-shelf components a lot of them don't play nice with each other. So now they're desperately trying to scrape some kind of playable game together partly for ego and partly so they don't go broke over it.
Informative thank you for sharing. Kinda neat to see a potential thought process involved that sounds plausible
Год назад+44
I couldn't have said it better :D I want to release a game with a small Indie Studio. You work on 1-Script 2-Gameplay 3-Animations and lastly 4-Graphics... This is why all games from great developers look awful, even after 80% completion. Because they were working on everything else, before they start with design/graphics Edit: Graphics are the easiest thing. Literally everything else takes more time
@ The shame is how hard it is to nail all the basics before you even get to your game's point of difference. That's why I would choose to aggressively remove features up front. For example, what kind of unique game can I build if the enemies don't require pathfinding? Or don't require animation because you only see them in photographs? Or if the player doesn't have inventory or health?
Год назад+7
@@davidcummins8125 I really don't wanna cut short on these things. My script is at 25% completion right now. Took me 5 months 😂 If the game takes 4-5 years development, I'm fine with that... Graphics and animations are the last things, so it could take me 10 years if it has too
The AI is pretty telling. You can tell those zombies where just pre-placed mooks programmed to run at the player in a straight line when they got close enough.
What they stand to gain is: during one of their very first trailers after they asked for their community to volunteer to help finish the game (for free) they were cross promoting a video chat app during the day before trailer. There’s obviously investors involved with that endeavor so even though they’re not defrauding, their investors (that we know of) they are using the popularity they’ve gained as a platform to promote a completely different piece of software. Go look and find the video where they’re all (the developers) sitting around outside overlooking the mountains and in the forest (not joking) they’re working on and promoting a completely different app during the trailer for the game that has garnered so much press. The entire ordeal is shady and underhanded as far as I’m concerned.
My guess is that the developer made the premade footage to generate buzz and hope that actual real game creators would want to join the project to complete it, but when they approached people for the project, no one wanted to build it from the ground up
Well I mean a good game from the ground up takes 7+ years. People don’t realize you need an entire storyline that goes with the gameplay, then you have to build an entire fucking word and model characters and script etc. I mean a game like this with a massive company behind it would take 7+ years too
The truth is that these "developers" (they are not developers by any means), have been running this investment scam for years through proxies that collect investments in their crypto accounts. They never had any intention today or tomorrow to actually make a video game. Their past games were bought and paid for as basic assets packages and had volunteers finish up the work. The problem with their latest scam is that there is no foundation to build anything worth presenting to legitimate investors. These criminals are going to ride the investor grift train all the way into obscurity. These fraudster brothers have been doing this almost their entire life.
@@bobbythomas6520 fyi, scripts and story lines in this industry are usually bought or sequenced and then hiring a ghost writer to finish it off. It would implode your world to find out some of your beloved franchises stories, etc are just ripped from thousands of other scripts that get thrown away. Most of the stuff you see is not original works by any means, regardless of accredited writers who copywrite first and have legal protection from anyone that wants to come forward and make a claim. The story is the last thing put together. Games, movies, TV shows all have story boards first to get established shots to begin producing and then editing puts together roughs and then the final, all while the story line is changed constantly through the project, all to match one of many plots, settings, characters, point of view, and conflicts. The rest is entirely made up on a whim. Which is why so many adaptations from book to screen don't work and why so many adaptations get so much wrong compared to the original material.
@@evolicious yeah no shit they’re ripped off, you still have to develop the whole story you absolute idiot. I’m not reading that entire paragraph when I know exactly how to make a game 💀 nice try tho
@@bobbythomas6520 Bit of a stretch, the last of us (just an example) was developed over 3 years, and that game has motion capture for everything you see and very well written charcaters and dialogue. Not attacking you or anything but games do not take 7+ years to make just saying.
Sometimes the only answer to _"WHY?!"_ is a simple "I just felt like doin it for the sake of doin it." 😁 Sometimes there's no great plot or conspiracy, and its just a guy derpin around out there. Godspeed, Mr Derp.
@drygimangdrminjak That's what I'm thinking. Small team wants to make a big project but lacks resources. So make a really nice trailer and build hype. Then they can show potential investors the millions of views on the trailer and how many people have wishlisted the game and get money to actually make the game. If there is fraud, it's on their investors but their investors have a duty to do their due diligence as well. I'm not sure it's really even fraud, but more a demonstration of how modern business works. There's been plenty of silicon valley VC companies that have invested way more money in far more insane schemes than this.
The only thing I can think of is that they really planned on making this huge thing and put out a video of what they want the final game to look at, people got excited, then they started actually working on the game and realized "O fuk, making a game is way harder than animating."
Yes! I think this is the case.... A small team setting a waaay to big of a bar! And assets are thrown in as well. An easy tell is that the flashlight is disconnected from the camera. The flashlight supposed to stem from the gun, but isn't and ect.
@@EraserTraceur Ah, it's actually from an older game called Snatcher. Set in the future, robots are killing people and wearing their skin to blend in. MC has amnesia. As he looks for clues about his past he ends up joining a group that works to investigate these body snatchers and stop them before there's no people left.
They are probably doing this for fame so people go get their other games while waiting for the real thing to come out. Not a cssh grab but a teasing attention man-handle
The funny thing was that it came out from nowhere, so unexpected and people just started hyping it up knew it from the start this shit wasn't going to end well
@@-G-a-b-r-i-e-l it's weird I notice a lot of these, however the comments seem to be typed by a real person. Unless they are copied and pasted. It's still odd
I've actually worked on a similar game before. Just like our game, this game seems to gave a ton of really nice assets, but no actual gameplay. Long story short, the investors that put money into these companies are often braindead idiots that don't know how games work, so you can woo them with beautiful models and prerendered cutscenes and they'll throw money at you. But once it comes to creating gameplay, this is usually put to the side because it's more important to show something nice for the next investor meeting.
Switching to unreal engine 5 just a few months before release was a horrible choice, I think they didn't realize how difficult that would be and they game isn't ready or in the state the fans are expecting it to be in. They should have just been honest and dropped it into early access but they showed off to many vertical slices and concepts now people expect a fully polished game.
I know it probably won’t happen but, it’d be so badass to be this company and actually have the game created and launching soon-ish and actually be the game it’s represented to be. Damn they’d have so much free promo off the accusations and then again off all the apologies from content creators. The ball truly is in their court, unfortunately I think they’ll waste the opportunity, but imagine.
The game they initially promoted would only be feasible for the largest publishers. We are talking RDR2 level of detail and scale but with better graphics. Vehicle and mud physics of snowrunner. I don't think they could come close to pulling it off if they gave it 200% effort
I'll take finding toothpaste in the toy stores to get procedural generated loot. Follow with updates regularly and that Might be a fix haha games a wet dream at this point and I'm sleeping
If it was really being made, and being released this November, they'd show quest markers, there'd be character voice overs, there'd be explosions, SOMETHING
yeah if this is going to be a mmo what even is the story. People watched this and was like yeah its ready for November and I'm like how there is nothing in this trailer that tells me its gonna be an mmo. saw 6 zombies get shot and like he said a basic crafting table this is bare bones the foundation no way they pull a story and missions and actually objective in a few months and I dont even know why march was even the original release date they have nothing lol.
I feel bad for the guy who actually put in the work to put this together. It's not a bad job on his part at all, it's whoever is managing the project and approving this to be shown publicly.
By the way, the UI around 8:00 minutes in to this video, where the character looks in the handbag? yeah that UI is ripped from a mobile game called “Last Day On Earth”. priceless
@@Professorlicme8 Jesus Christ you get the gist. Wait a few months till the release bugs are fixed and it can be certain that the devs are actively working on the game ie content updates, patches, etc
I've been following this "game" and its development ever since it was first announced, and from day one I sensed that something was very off about it. That feeling has never gone away since then. Force Gaming has also done several videos discussing this game, and I'd recommend him as a helpful source of further information.
it doesn’t even look THAT bad. i don’t give a shit if “every item doesn’t have textures” they just didn’t show zombies but like i hardly ever see zombies in dayZ? and this is supposed to be inspired by that according to charlie? with that being said if this was free on gamepass i might check it out, probably won’t now but if i didn’t see this i might have
@@De4daim Truth is placeholder or no there should not be muzzle flash on any suppressed weapon especially on a game that’s been in “production” for over almost 2 years and claims to be A in-depth zombie survival Game.
5:29 Honestly, the game looks fantastic from the video, Idk what Charlie means! The Beautiful gameplay, The Ultimate story, The Terrifying zombies to overcome, and Therapeutic walking animations and jiggles. Honestly, release it as it is in the video, 10/10 game.
My theory is that those fancy “gameplay” videos they showed us last year was in an attempt to lure in buyers to the IP. That way the buyers would take over development and funding, and the studio would’ve made money by just selling the idea.
But what idea is there to buy? Open world zombie survival is not exactly something new or revolutionary. Anyone can start their own zombie game without giving these guys money.
@@gambello1195 it's a pretty common thing to make a small vertical slice of a game idea to see if there's any interest in the idea, so I wouldn't be surprised if they would try the same thing on investors, which clearly didn't work
@@juances i think their pitch was zombie mmo with a wide range of urban, suburban, and rural environments that can be full explored. Basically Dayz but with a larger map, npcs, and fully explorable skyscrapers and under ground tunnels
My theory is that they're using the hype behind the day before to get more eyes on some of their other projects (like the productivity app they developed and showcased in a video supposed to be focused on the day before, or their game, Prop Night, that got boosts in players whenever something about the day before came out)
The “game” has gotten massive investments from Nvidia and other major companies, so that’s the incentive right there. I’m pretty sure those companies admitted that they haven’t seen any exclusive non-public footage either
I find it funny how they didn't question the authenticity of the product, and why they were giving sponsorship money that went straight into traded crypto accounts. Nvidia just showing the world how corrupt they are that they do absolutely nothing to protect their consumers from scams.
Is their channel monetized? If so, that could be why they’re doing it. Getting hype around it, and making RUclips videos that hint at something big. I still think it’s a stupid plan but it could be a motive
it gave them like a thousand dollars at most lol. there's no way they put this much effort and lied to the internet for 2 years promising a game for a thousand dollars
At this point, even as a passerby, looking at them humbly showing themselves frequently as the developers instantly make me think oh this is definitely a scam. No self-respecting serious developers who work full time will take time to show their face, except for the bosses or already internationally famous individuals. This is like hard selling your shitty show/book/game through controversies regarding your fan-hating/bashing interviews. Not the same energy, but the same fan baiting.
My theory is that they originally had a full game based on asset flips that was ready to release, the copyright issue was a major asset that they flipped for free. The new gameplay is what they scrapped together to try and buy time to completely rebuild the game. They tried to scam, but got caught before they were able to execute, so now they're trying to scrap the scam back together
Charlie is so wrong about everything he said. There was never a copyright dispute it was a trademark dispute to use the name which is completely different. He is is misinformed and probably learned about the situation 2 days before he recorded this.
Quixel is both a blessing and curse. It's a great repository for allowing artists to speed up their workflow, but also for scammers to make their bullshit look more polished.
This looks like one of those popular zombie games you would have seen 10 years ago. It's as if this was just generated by an AI, who basically mashed together all the hyped up zombie games/mmos from the last 10 years
I think the sad thing is that even if this game were to come out, people would still buy it in droves and let games that actually have passion put into them swept under the rug.
this is a very similar situation to what was happening with Omori back when it was being developed, and that game turned out to be more than worth the wait
@@cromulom2223 not really. They held off game play trailers and when they did they thought the gameplay looked worse than the teasers they'd been given. It's almost the exact same here.
I feel like this is just a perfect example of the company writing a check the devs couldn't cash. Like, they had this idea for this big game but they didn't realize just how much work would actually go into it
Yeah, even assuming pre-made assets, this game has some visual styling, ability to loot and transfer items, weapon customization, shooting, shooting animations, and zombie animations. Sure, there's prob a TON that isn't anywhere near finished, and I wouldn't call this a success. But there is more work/coding in this project than Charlie is leading on to believe. It really just sounds like an inexperienced team/dev that thought game development was easier than it really is and made empty promises. But what's new? Even AAA titles do the same.
I liked the feeling it gives when you shoot Zombies, it feels real or satisfying. It doesn't look that bad but it looks something I can find in any other game.
It might be DayZ situation again. Devs feed you with huge promises, making hype train, open preorder and release raw glitchy piece of the game what always will be in permanent alpha state.
There was a college football game (Gridiron Champions) that was supposed to have come out in 2018 and it kept getting pushed back until they came out with a statement on how they had to abandon it due to a lawsuit for defamation. It was crowd funded but it followed the same kind of timeline of never being able to release gameplay or missed updates until it was cancelled.

They didn't make any money though. Steam doesn't pay out until one month after release.
I think what happened was, they released the initial reveal trailer as a proof of concept, to gauge the interest for a project, and then got way too excited trying to deliver on something even a triple A studio would struggle to develop. They set the bar too high for themselves and are now doing this balancing act - trying to capitalize on the fanbase they cultivated, but on a budget that is nowhere near enough, so they keep pushing back the game hoping to salvage the situation.
thats what i was thinking.
No excuse for using the hype around events to push other games and software made by the company regardless of if they oversold the initial vision
That's actually sad tho...
What Dayz fan wouldn't want updated visuals Dayz? Regardless of difficulty level it would be nice to have the option to switch between these games.
I think this is definitely the most logical take on this whole situation
Working in the industry I can 190% confirm THIS is it
Dunno if you noticed, but the zombies did exactly two things. They either crouched and growled loudly or they ran forward in a straight line (not necessarily toward the player). Says something about the AI's level of development, at a minimum.

right. id rather just go play L4D than this or B4B etc... 🥱

He actually predicted this game being a scam, almost a year later. Wow
Not the first dude who say this scam 4 billion lightyears away. There's another YTber who the first thing they said a year ago after seeing the game...its a scam...a little before Charlie did.
The original trailer from almost 3 years ago people were saying it’s a scam and bullshit.

This is like the equivalent of kids bragging about things they have at home but they don't really have it.

(True story...)
Exactly, except this is sad for a different reason lol
What I think is that they're doing what I did when I was an indie developer: get too excited about the idea of a game, start making devlogs to gather hype thinking I could fulfill promises I was too early in development to achieve, throw shit together trying to maintain the fanbase I created and was now afraid to loose incase they'd never come back.
Note to developers: just don't make promises until you are chin deep into development. you'll save yourself a lot of stress.
edit: i misspelled lose but im going to keep it like that just to annoy nerds who correct grammar on social media posts :)
Yup this is exactly what it feels like. They had sort of an idea how the game would play like and what it would be. Started hyping it up to get some people behind it and get a fan base, but now they are struggling to get the game together how they imaged it so they are just trying to at least do something about the mounting pressure.
"jogging simulator" so they're staying true to their roots
I agree. They also could just say “this is what we want to do and our goal is this” instead of “this is absolutely what’s going to be there please don’t leave we promise it’ll be good”
This is feeling like a No Man’s Sky situation where the devs were making these huge promises but literally can’t follow up on.
It's rarely the developers, and more usually, pressure from the company that owns or is funding the game being developed. It's those detached idiots who always want to stress release dates and micros.
My dad always used to tell me about some French Jean designer who didn’t have the money to make his product but he had enough to market. He spent all his money on marketing and billboards rather than creating a product, and when the demand for the jeans for really high, he was able to get a loan from the bank to make the jeans. That entire story sounds entirely ridiculous now that I’m older but maybe the day before is a case of that 👀
That actually makes a lot of sense, generate buzz for something you wanna make, then use the buzz to make it happen. I think its a combination of this and the fact they didn't realise how hard it would actually be to make their product a reality because I doubt anyone they try hire specifically for this project would want to start from the ground up

It generated a ton of buzz, but didn't work, and now they've made all these little trailer videos trying to get anyone to fund the project, but fans wanted gameplay. So they stalled as long as they could so the team they have could throw together this "vertical slice" as a last ditch effort, hoping SOMEONE will see the buzz it's gotten and throw them some money to finally make it.

Well these devs already have a bad reputation, so it is beyond understanding people's reactions given they launched 2 games in the past and dropped them for no reason and with poor excuses. This is why everyone thinks it is a scam instead of an actual game that got delayed, and obviously the big question of, who develops an entire game and announces it without securing the trademark first, it has laziness and lack of reliability written all over, it is just weird.

Exactly development takes forever so they’ve been working on this
I’ve seen the proposition by some people that the original trailer was supposed to be a behinds doors proof of concept for publishers, that they decided to release to the public to gauge interest. It caught WAY more attention than they imagined and they’ve been forced to play along for this past year.
That's horse shit, has games like Dayz and other zombie survival games not exist? It's to built hype and they know it. It's the same shit over and over again for many years. Oh and also, fortnite was actually initially a zombie survival game.
There's a motivation to create a 'fake game' because of that gauging interest. You take the time to make a nice trailer and/or some fake gameplay footage, and if people are actually interested then you can start developing. But it's a waste of time to make a product that people aren't interested in.
If this is all they're doing, it should be a fairly normal practice. I don't mind at all, and it even seems like a good idea. Considering all the crunch, low pay, etc. going on in the game industry, at least they can work on things that people will actually care about, buy and play.
@@macfurrywong8108 I think you completely missed what I was trying to say. I'm not at all excusing them, but it's very much possible they released a proof of concept business trailer to see the response and got more than what they asked for.

BRO this aged fantastically.
Fntastically, if you will
I have some experience in the game industry, and I would say that they intended to release something kind of like the original trailer, but underestimated how difficult it was. They got some nice models and effects, tightly scripted it out (any parts that are not walking simulator totally faked). They ground out the render at like 1fps and thought they had it in the bag. Then the moment the huge variety of systems (e.g. AI, animation, survival systems, narrative, etc) started clashing with each other and the performance requirements, they realized they were toast. If you build things out of off-the-shelf components a lot of them don't play nice with each other. So now they're desperately trying to scrape some kind of playable game together partly for ego and partly so they don't go broke over it.
Informative thank you for sharing. Kinda neat to see a potential thought process involved that sounds plausible
I couldn't have said it better :D I want to release a game with a small Indie Studio. You work on 1-Script 2-Gameplay 3-Animations and lastly 4-Graphics... This is why all games from great developers look awful, even after 80% completion. Because they were working on everything else, before they start with design/graphics
Edit: Graphics are the easiest thing. Literally everything else takes more time
@bruh more like 80%
@ The shame is how hard it is to nail all the basics before you even get to your game's point of difference. That's why I would choose to aggressively remove features up front. For example, what kind of unique game can I build if the enemies don't require pathfinding? Or don't require animation because you only see them in photographs? Or if the player doesn't have inventory or health?
@@davidcummins8125 I really don't wanna cut short on these things. My script is at 25% completion right now. Took me 5 months 😂 If the game takes 4-5 years development, I'm fine with that... Graphics and animations are the last things, so it could take me 10 years if it has too

What they stand to gain is: during one of their very first trailers after they asked for their community to volunteer to help finish the game (for free) they were cross promoting a video chat app during the day before trailer. There’s obviously investors involved with that endeavor so even though they’re not defrauding, their investors (that we know of) they are using the popularity they’ve gained as a platform to promote a completely different piece of software. Go look and find the video where they’re all (the developers) sitting around outside overlooking the mountains and in the forest (not joking) they’re working on and promoting a completely different app during the trailer for the game that has garnered so much press. The entire ordeal is shady and underhanded as far as I’m concerned.
My guess is that the developer made the premade footage to generate buzz and hope that actual real game creators would want to join the project to complete it, but when they approached people for the project, no one wanted to build it from the ground up
Well I mean a good game from the ground up takes 7+ years. People don’t realize you need an entire storyline that goes with the gameplay, then you have to build an entire fucking word and model characters and script etc. I mean a game like this with a massive company behind it would take 7+ years too
The truth is that these "developers" (they are not developers by any means), have been running this investment scam for years through proxies that collect investments in their crypto accounts.
They never had any intention today or tomorrow to actually make a video game. Their past games were bought and paid for as basic assets packages and had volunteers finish up the work.
The problem with their latest scam is that there is no foundation to build anything worth presenting to legitimate investors.
These criminals are going to ride the investor grift train all the way into obscurity. These fraudster brothers have been doing this almost their entire life.

Most of the stuff you see is not original works by any means, regardless of accredited writers who copywrite first and have legal protection from anyone that wants to come forward and make a claim.

Damn they’d have so much free promo off the accusations and then again off all the apologies from content creators. The ball truly is in their court, unfortunately I think they’ll waste the opportunity, but imagine.
The game they initially promoted would only be feasible for the largest publishers. We are talking RDR2 level of detail and scale but with better graphics. Vehicle and mud physics of snowrunner. I don't think they could come close to pulling it off if they gave it 200% effort
you're a becoming a very good dreamer max
Tactical thinking. If they had a couple pieces of brain matter between them, they’d take advantage of that easy win.
I'll take finding toothpaste in the toy stores to get procedural generated loot. Follow with updates regularly and that Might be a fix haha games a wet dream at this point and I'm sleeping
I dont they have the means to even do that. Did you see that first trailer? That was AAA level.
8:15 that fast & furious reference will never get old 🤣
If it was really being made, and being released this November, they'd show quest markers, there'd be character voice overs, there'd be explosions, SOMETHING
yeah if this is going to be a mmo what even is the story. People watched this and was like yeah its ready for November and I'm like how there is nothing in this trailer that tells me its gonna be an mmo. saw 6 zombies get shot and like he said a basic crafting table this is bare bones the foundation no way they pull a story and missions and actually objective in a few months and I dont even know why march was even the original release date they have nothing lol.
@@cydneywright2623 it’s not suppose to be like that
@@callmecart9925 what is it supposed to be i don’t think anyone even them don’t know a sandbox survival like what??
@@callmecart9925 i would like something different from the basic survival games we have it’s another day z i’m good such a snooze fest
@@cydneywright2623 ya i think it’s suppose to be a survival multiplayer game 😭
Obviously this is a test to see how well a game can be made with only a marketing team
Charlie said “introducing a new scam” like this is his craft, his job
it is
i imagine the game play loop will be something like; open the game, walk around for 10 minutes, bury your head in your hands, ask for a refund
Imagine if he’s been working his butt off and has been thinking that he’s doing a good job😂
That would be funny, but they would have to be delusional.
Could see it
I feel bad for the guy who actually put in the work to put this together. It's not a bad job on his part at all, it's whoever is managing the project and approving this to be shown publicly.
By the way, the UI around 8:00 minutes in to this video, where the character looks in the handbag? yeah that UI is ripped from a mobile game called “Last Day On Earth”. priceless
Thanks, Charlie! Your timely reporting has saved me money that I can spend foolishly on other things!
@@bretthietpas9453 he was going to buy it when it “came out”
I’d still consider buying it still but only after a month and or two and all the bugs have been fixed and devs are actually working on it
if you at some point actually spend money on this game idk what to tell you, i guess you really need to make better decisions.
@@dumbassturtle2157 "a month or two and all the bugs have been fixed" bruh what
@@Professorlicme8 Jesus Christ you get the gist. Wait a few months till the release bugs are fixed and it can be certain that the devs are actively working on the game ie content updates, patches, etc
This video aged like a fine wine.
I've been following this "game" and its development ever since it was first announced, and from day one I sensed that something was very off about it. That feeling has never gone away since then.
Force Gaming has also done several videos discussing this game, and I'd recommend him as a helpful source of further information.
Agreed, hes been talking about this for months.
my content is worse than charlie's content
it doesn’t even look THAT bad. i don’t give a shit if “every item doesn’t have textures” they just didn’t show zombies but like i hardly ever see zombies in dayZ? and this is supposed to be inspired by that according to charlie? with that being said if this was free on gamepass i might check it out, probably won’t now but if i didn’t see this i might have
@@weirdyoutubechannels yes, it is.
@@reheatedpizza7292 the fact it "doesnt even look that bad" isn't the point. it isnt what they promised with the previous showcases.
You’ve got to love that horribly rendered muzzle flash on the suppressed rifle. definitely going to pre-order this one for sure.
Placeholder animations in an unfinished game. Shocking!
@@De4daim lmfao. You can admit you drank the coolaid, friend. Nobody here is going to judge you for realizing you're being had.
@@De4daim Truth is placeholder or no there should not be muzzle flash on any suppressed weapon especially on a game that’s been in “production” for over almost 2 years and claims to be A in-depth zombie survival Game.
@@De4daim Ladies and gentlemen, delusion at its peak.
5:29 Honestly, the game looks fantastic from the video, Idk what Charlie means!
The Beautiful gameplay,
The Ultimate story,
The Terrifying zombies to overcome,
and Therapeutic walking animations and jiggles.
Honestly, release it as it is in the video, 10/10 game.
The point he makes is that the original gameplay they released isn’t the game they are showing now. It doesn’t actually exist
@@dylnb137 It was sarcasm, mate.
@@dylnb137 aint no way u fell for this it was so obvious it was a joke,literally only a small minority supports the game and by small i mean 0.1%
i like how they used a dark environment to hide the lack of graphics
Its a good thing if done right. Metro on a switch for example is dark but it doesnt take away from the gameplau
Like gta4
but gta4 is a masterpiece
My theory is that those fancy “gameplay” videos they showed us last year was in an attempt to lure in buyers to the IP.
That way the buyers would take over development and funding, and the studio would’ve made money by just selling the idea.
sounds smart enough, does that really happen tho?
But what idea is there to buy? Open world zombie survival is not exactly something new or revolutionary. Anyone can start their own zombie game without giving these guys money.
what idea tho? i havent followed it but from this video its just an open world zombie game
@@gambello1195 it's a pretty common thing to make a small vertical slice of a game idea to see if there's any interest in the idea, so I wouldn't be surprised if they would try the same thing on investors, which clearly didn't work
@@juances i think their pitch was zombie mmo with a wide range of urban, suburban, and rural environments that can be full explored. Basically Dayz but with a larger map, npcs, and fully explorable skyscrapers and under ground tunnels
My theory is that they're using the hype behind the day before to get more eyes on some of their other projects (like the productivity app they developed and showcased in a video supposed to be focused on the day before, or their game, Prop Night, that got boosts in players whenever something about the day before came out)
So really what you're saying is, they showed a project the day before The Day Before.
Accurately predicted.
The “game” has gotten massive investments from Nvidia and other major companies, so that’s the incentive right there. I’m pretty sure those companies admitted that they haven’t seen any exclusive non-public footage either
I find it funny how they didn't question the authenticity of the product, and why they were giving sponsorship money that went straight into traded crypto accounts.
Nvidia just showing the world how corrupt they are that they do absolutely nothing to protect their consumers from scams.
@@evolicious I see this more as stupidity than corruption. It's their investment money. They're mostly hurting themselves
I wouldn’t necessarily call it a scam if they’re not making money but they DEFINITELY bit off way more than they could chew 🤣😭
Ummmmm are you kidding me they have over 30,000 given through cash app. They just don’t make it public.
@@MYCUNTSTINKSBAD how do you know
they're promoting their other products with the clout of the day before tho, so yes, it's a scam.
They've already tricked a few big companies into investing
@@person80 Source: Trust me bro
Is their channel monetized? If so, that could be why they’re doing it. Getting hype around it, and making RUclips videos that hint at something big. I still think it’s a stupid plan but it could be a motive
it gave them like a thousand dollars at most lol. there's no way they put this much effort and lied to the internet for 2 years promising a game for a thousand dollars
@@LazoGT I was curious as to how much money they could have actually made from adsense
At this point, even as a passerby, looking at them humbly showing themselves frequently as the developers instantly make me think oh this is definitely a scam. No self-respecting serious developers who work full time will take time to show their face, except for the bosses or already internationally famous individuals.
This is like hard selling your shitty show/book/game through controversies regarding your fan-hating/bashing interviews. Not the same energy, but the same fan baiting.
My theory: they got funding from investors, but wasted the money somehow and are now keeping up the pretense to try and save face..
I think part of it is investors and their publisher giving them more money
Because a game with lots of hype i is s gonna get more funding
Oh boy, this aged like fine wine.
My theory is that they originally had a full game based on asset flips that was ready to release, the copyright issue was a major asset that they flipped for free. The new gameplay is what they scrapped together to try and buy time to completely rebuild the game. They tried to scam, but got caught before they were able to execute, so now they're trying to scrap the scam back together
Damn that's just unreal... good take dude
Doubt it. They had nothing. They just made a concept trailer and that’s it. It’s not real gameplay. It’s just animation
Charlie is so wrong about everything he said. There was never a copyright dispute it was a trademark dispute to use the name which is completely different. He is is misinformed and probably learned about the situation 2 days before he recorded this.
@@courier3567 those two words are used pretty interchangeably, I don't really see your point
@@XxSTACKxX my only thing with them having nothing is, what's the motive? why? They have no real motive to have done absolutely nothing
Quixel is both a blessing and curse. It's a great repository for allowing artists to speed up their workflow, but also for scammers to make their bullshit look more polished.
This is a 10 months video and the final "game" is exactly what you said here.
This crap couldn't be "5 years in development".
The prophet has warned us, and yet we didn't heed his warning
true
the first comment
YOURE FIRST
@@p-__ facs
Just leaving this here
@@p-__ TheFuck?
This looks like one of those popular zombie games you would have seen 10 years ago. It's as if this was just generated by an AI, who basically mashed together all the hyped up zombie games/mmos from the last 10 years
"Hey Jimbob, you wanna make a videogame? I mean how hard can it be?"
Also, gotta point out that "Huge Fake Game Scam" would be a WILD knuckle tattoo.
I think the sad thing is that even if this game were to come out, people would still buy it in droves and let games that actually have passion put into them swept under the rug.
Yep, thats exactly what happened.
this is a very similar situation to what was happening with Omori back when it was being developed, and that game turned out to be more than worth the wait
wait can i hear the full story???
@@Sen-ce6sd look up ”How Omori was made and why people thought it was a scam”
Granted omori is way different to the day before
@@cromulom2223 not really. They held off game play trailers and when they did they thought the gameplay looked worse than the teasers they'd been given. It's almost the exact same here.
"Did I ever tell you the defintion of insanity?" ~A witty psychopath
8:50 this store reminds me of when ninja cussed out that kid 😂
Holy shit it does😂😂
I'm surprised they got the zombies to actually run at the player. I was expecting them to just stand in place.
Because the video is an animation, it's not gameplay. The game does not exist.
The fast and the furious reference around 8:20 was funny as fuck to me
fr😂
Gimme a S...S!
Gimme a C....C!
Gimme an A....A!
Gimme an M....M!
But hey at least its free....which isn't saying much.
I feel like this is just a perfect example of the company writing a check the devs couldn't cash. Like, they had this idea for this big game but they didn't realize just how much work would actually go into it
Looks like a decent amount of effort for a scam. Usually, scams have nothing.
I know, right? I get it looks pretty bland, but it doesn’t look that bad for a game in development.
Yeah I don't think it's a scam. Just crappy developers
Yeah, even assuming pre-made assets, this game has some visual styling, ability to loot and transfer items, weapon customization, shooting, shooting animations, and zombie animations. Sure, there's prob a TON that isn't anywhere near finished, and I wouldn't call this a success. But there is more work/coding in this project than Charlie is leading on to believe. It really just sounds like an inexperienced team/dev that thought game development was easier than it really is and made empty promises. But what's new? Even AAA titles do the same.
I liked the feeling it gives when you shoot Zombies, it feels real or satisfying. It doesn't look that bad but it looks something I can find in any other game.
It might be DayZ situation again. Devs feed you with huge promises, making hype train, open preorder and release raw glitchy piece of the game what always will be in permanent alpha state.
At this point any game that charlie says "doesn't exist/ isn't coming out" winds up coming out relatively soon after. He's like a reverse seer
love the guy but couldnt agree more
ive started watching Moist over the past couple of months and I always think that his metaphors are always pretty awesome. Pretty moist you could say
You could, but you shouldn't
Stick with awesome
Stop
Coming back to this video just to see the sh*tshow unfolding
There was a college football game (Gridiron Champions) that was supposed to have come out in 2018 and it kept getting pushed back until they came out with a statement on how they had to abandon it due to a lawsuit for defamation. It was crowd funded but it followed the same kind of timeline of never being able to release gameplay or missed updates until it was cancelled.
crowd funded is a big difference here like this makes it an immediate apples to batmans
Idk why people so quick to label this a scam. They haven't asked for pre-orders, this isn't crowd funded....in what way is this a scam?
