Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!

Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.

Hi there, I'm a new mod for this community and I'd like to start out by collecting some ideas for upcoming weekly discussions. We're planning on pinning one discussion post a week, every week, each one being about a different aspect of gaming. The type of stuff we're looking for would be:

  • Genres (Puzzle, Roguelike, FPS, 4X, etc.)
  • Themes (The feelings or ideas a game conveys - isolation, anti-consumerism, hope, memory, etc.)
  • "Examples of X" (Things in games that you like* and find notable - good representation, humor, well-written grief, immersion, etc.)
  • Mechanics (parrying, critical hits, crowd control, diegetic feedback, etc.)
  • Game development (Stuff related to the development of games - delays, remasters, ports, glitches, etc.)

*We want to encourage positive discussions of games, generally. Criticism is warranted, but we must be mindful to not degrade into the flamewars that often crop up around this sphere elsewhere.

Things of this nature that you would want to see future discussion threads focused around. Toss anything you got down in the comments!

Today, we announce the closure of Fntastic studio. Unfortunately, The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.

We invested all our efforts, resources, and man-hours into the development of The Day Before, which was our first huge game. We really wanted to release new patches to reveal the full potential of the game, but unfortunately, we don't have the funding to continue the work.

It's important to note that we didn't take any money from the public during the development of The Day Before; there were no pre-orders or crowdfunding campaigns. We worked tirelessly for five years, pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into the game.

At the moment, the future of The Day Before and Propnight is unknown, but the servers will remain operational.

We apologize if we didn't meet your expectations. We did everything within our power, but unfortunately, we miscalculated our capabilities. Creating games is an incredibly challenging endeavor.

We're grateful to everyone who supported us during these difficult years. It's been a fantastic journey over the past eight years:
2015: Opening of the studio
2017: Release of The Wild Eight
2018: Release of Dead Dozen
2018: Release of Radiant One 2021: Release of Propnight
2023: Release of The Day Before

Great to hear, I'd expect nothing less from a Jet Set Radio remake.

Just release a beta version and let the true/core fans shape the final version of game.

I'm talking to you Hello Games (No man's sky), just don't mess it up with upcoming 'Light no fire'.

By the way - I do agree that the music was played too fast for award winners this year, and I asked our team to relax that rule as the show went on. While no one was actually cut off, it’s something to address going forward.

Good seeing him actually address this, but it still sucks for everyone who won awards this year.
