If you turn a corner as a survivor under a chase and spot something you can turn into, the killer could easily run by your location completely oblivious to you standing still right there. Some props, like giant pigs or rolling wheels, are easy to spot and chase, but others like diminutive soda bottles or logs can blend in seamlessly with the environment. We are always open to our fans' suggestions, and never exploit people's labor, or make anyone help us.There are no perks to sift through on either side of the equation, so whether you’re the survivor or the killer, props are the key element for success or failure. This was a tremendous help for which they received special roles on the game Discord server. It's important to note that the latter fact does not diminish what they have done for us in any way. Besides, there were no big dialogues or texts in the game, the overall amount of text is small. They wanted to help willingly because they really liked the game. When our players encountered that the translation was not proper enough, they approached us with some translations of their own that they prepared beforehand. UPDATE: Fntastic have responded with a follow-up statement in answer to my query about their supporters' work on Propnight: It’s still the most wishlisted game on Steam. The Day Before is scheduled for release on March 1st 2023, having been pushed back from its previous launch date of June 21st this year due to development switching over to Unreal Engine 5. That’s a good sign, but you’d also hope to see remuneration for any supporters who step in to cover for contractors. The statement also went on to say that Fntastic does plan to recruit their “most active external volunteers (supporters) for full-time work”, and said one supporter based in the Netherlands has recently joined as a full-time employee. I've asked Fntastic for more details on that.

Surely when supporters step in to replace paid work then they should also be paid too? And not in “cool rewards, participation certificates, and free codes”, as detailed on their website. In Propnight, together with these supporters, we found bugs, dealt with cheaters, and even organized our Discord communities.” Most of it had to be redone with the help of our enthusiastic volunteers (supporters). As practice has shown, the result of their work was not so perfect. “Last year, we ordered localization for Propnight from a well-known large studio specializing in translations. “In addition to tests, external volunteers (supporters) help localize products into different languages,” they said. We also have 40 external US and worldwide volunteers (supporters) who help with testing and reviewing our products at a very early stage.”Ĭrucially, the Gotovtsev brothers’ gave more information on the work that unpaid supporters contribute to The Day Before and Fntastic’s other games, such as online survival horror Propnight. Today we have over 100 full-time internal volunteers (employees) from Singapore, Russia, the Netherlands, Thailand, Ukraine, Finland, Kazakhstan, and Belarus who work as engineers, artists, HR professionals, etc. The statement then went on to explain the structure of Fntastic’s team, including distinguishing between their paid staff and unpaid supporters: “Anyone who is open to life can become a volunteer with Fntastic, and there are two types of volunteers.

You'd think a good place to start might be to pay all of their staff. The Gotovtsev brothers acknowledged that Fntastic is a “commercial organization” that aims to "create the best conditions" for team members, and that "as our organization grows in capacity, we intend to be more involved in improving the lives of people around the world".

Fntastic's founders, Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev, explain their company's volunteer mindset.
