Developers The Day Before from the Yakut studio Fntastic published an open message in which they addressed not only their fans, but also haters:
To our future players who will dive into the game on December 7th. We did this for you, so that you enjoy the game and so that it becomes a holiday for you. Together we will continue to improve the game and add content to it.
People who didn’t believe us. We made this game for you too. We accept any criticism and do not hold it against you. Before we move on, let us make a few points:
Please forgive us for the less than stellar marketing and teasers. We learn something new and improve every day.
Please don’t accuse us of fraud – that’s not true. We didn’t take a penny from anyone.
Please don’t accuse us of stealing assets – that’s also not true. Our team worked day and night for five years to make our dream game a reality.
Please don’t underestimate our work; that was not easy. We are just like you; we worked hard. And we are incredibly happy that our game will finally see the light of day.
To those who supported us no matter what. Thank you for protecting us from attacks and fakes. Your kind words gave us the energy to create this game. All the best to you!
To future streamers who will stream the game on December 7th. We wish you many views and new subscribers. We hope that The Day Before will help you squeeze a ton of interesting content out of your game.
To our volunteers who supported us not only in word, but also in deed. Your support has helped us get to this day. You have supported us through our darkest nights and we look forward to sharing with you the better days that lie ahead.
And to the partners who believed in us, despite all the difficulties. Thank you for supporting us from the very beginning of development. Your advice and support helped us create this game.
As Christmas and New Year approaches, we wish joy and happiness to your families! We love everyone!
