The Day Before Offline Mod in the Works For Those Still Interested in Playing This Troubled Game
The Day Before Offline Mod in the Works For Those Still Interested in Playing This Troubled Game
A couple of modders are currently working on an offline mod for the troubled The Day Before, which would add an offline mode.
• Modders are working on an offline mod for troubled game The Day Before.
• Development studio Fntastic has closed its doors and the game's servers will shut down in January.
• Luci0 and fskartd are working on a crack that would allow players to play the game offline.
It's extra funny to me how there are people actively working on an offline mod for the scam of the year, but Starfield is not getting a co-op mod because it's so dogshit. That alone is a special award, Todd.
Honestly I'm just interested in what else is fucked up about this game. First it's not even the game it purported to be, so I just want the dissection yknow.
I don't understand why everyone is calling it a scam. Everyone got refunded, right? Seems like they just had a better marketing team than development team.
The scam was likely on the investors who funded the game for 5 years.
It was only sold, presumably, so they couldnt be taken to court for failing to deliver. Technically they did publish. It was just a flop
Who would want this 🤣🤣
You know how people are still expressing interest in those Panera charged lemonades even though they’ve legit killed 3 people…?
As a former pack a day smoker and coffee addict, I get it.
Potentially lethal is the amount of caffeine I look for in any drink, but those lemonades only have coffee levels of caffeine. They taste perfectly fine, but not worth a special trip to Panera just for them.
Gaming history preservation, even the bad games.
Yeah I mean look at the Plumbers Don't Wear Ties PS Vita port
"the uncut gem of the '20s '
For free? Absolutely me, I knew well enough not to purchase the game, but I am curious just how bad it is.
Thumbnail looks like the Last of Us. What was this game?
This video sums it up pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMh7lv8wmHs
See this comment thread. 😄
I still don't know or why people are so upset about this game, I mean it was basically a red flag right from the get go, or maybe I'm just getting old...
Do you remember the days when Day Z launched, there we got games like this on a weekly basis and we had no refunds.
There was this game called The War Z which was so much worse than The Day before and also had wrong advertising, was removed from steam for a short period and an asset flip of another game. It got also rebranded two times and was re-released under those new names until it was shut down 2016. One of the developers of this game, Sergey Titov, was infamous among the gaming community and they investigated and presented all the bad games he was behind, it was hilarious.
History just repeats itself but now we are better secured du to steam's refund policies.
Judging by screenshots, such a shame for so much hard work to go to waste. Wish they would open source it. I would suggest AGPL to protect their IP from being stolen(IANAL so don’t quote me), but I would take anything if it meant the work of talented people didn’t go to waste.
Hopefully a modding scene can thrive and make something decent from these ashes.
There was no hard work*, it's made almost entirely of purchased assets and gameplay systems.
*There was hard work on behalf of the people who made the assets for sale.
Oh, I did not know that. I haven’t been following closely but I had heard it was a horrid bait-n-switch for the gameplay. I guess I could not put it past the studio to stoop that low.
I still maintain it would be cool if they open sourced the game. Asset licenses permitting.
It was all just an asset flip. So those assets aren't wasted, you can just buy them online for a different project.
Why'd you have to bring up anal all lf a sudden
IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer
I can’t tell if you’re making a joke or not so there is the definition of the acronym. I added the comment because AGPL may not be the best suited license for it or any similar project. But from what I can recall, AGPL also requires forks/modifications for SaaS purposes to also make their source code available. Whereas GPL, or any others from what I can tell(again not a lawyer), does not require forks/modifications for SaaS to follow the same license.
I wish they would help out the people working for the offline mode in The Crew that is going to shut down in march.
Reminds me of the Escape from Tarkov singeplayer mod.
