"Major Propnight Update Adds Building And More Next Week". It has support for 15 languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin America), Polish, Russian, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese for the interface and subtitles. After an open beta period which ran between October 15 and October 18, 2021, the game was released through Steam on November 30, 2021. Propnight was developed using the Unreal game engine. In the game, survivors could transform into a nearby prop in order to evade the killer. Each survivor can only be rescued in this way twice the survivor will die instantly if the survivor is placed on the chair a third time. To catch a Survivor, the killer must knock them down, then place them on a chair, where they will die if not rescued by another Survivor. The Killer's objective is either to kill all 4 survivors, or prevent their escape. To do so, the Survivors must repair 5 of the 7 machines placed across the map, which in turn opens the map's exit. The Survivors' objective is for at least one Survivor to escape the map. Four players play as Survivors, with the fifth player playing as the Killer. Propnight is a 4v1 asymmetrical horror game. I would not want to take away from the players the pleasure of building theories and guessing about everything for themselves." Gameplay Make informed choices about where you spend your money – and what studios you choose to support.The game's plot is left deliberately mysterious, with the only detail given outside of the game being that "In a small provincial town, teenagers continue to disappear mysteriously." In an interview, Anna Vasilieva, the communication director of Fntastic, explained that Propnight "has its own mysterious lore, and we happily thought of a lot of little things that can be noticed while playing the game. When The Day Before launches, the ‘volunteer’ nature of Fntastic should be heavily considered. While Fntastic appears to be doubling down on its stance, the fact is these practices should not be accepted – certainly not for one of the most wishlisted games on Steam.

Working for free harms everyone in the industry, and helps to casualise what is highly-skilled, essential work in game development. These are positions that should logically be paid. Read: Unionisation for freelancers: why is it worth it?

While the studio claimed some volunteers were later hired to full-time positions, this appears to be a temptation dangled for those looking to crack into the games industry by whatever means necessary. Most of it had to be redone with the help of our enthusiastic volunteers (supporters),’ Fntastic said.Īs WellPlayed points out, it appears Fntastic is claiming that translation work the studio paid for was not good enough – leading to the company leaning on unpaid volunteers to finish the job.
As practice has shown, the result of their work was not so perfect. Last year, we ordered localisation for Propnight from a well-known large studio specialising in translations. ‘In addition to tests, external volunteers (supporters) help localise products into different languages. ‘Supporters’ in this regard appears to refer to those working for the company in unpaid positions. We also have 40 external US and worldwide volunteers (supporters) who help with testing and reviewing our products at a very early stage,’ Fntastic said. ‘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. We consider all team members, including employees, volunteers.įntastic went on to cite its charity initiatives as a form of justification for this mindset, claiming it’s working to make the world a better place. Volunteering at Fntastic means that a person works willingly for a common cause. So volunteering means that you bring certain pleasantness to every action you take. If you carry those heavy boxes unwillingly, every moment will be like torture. If you help a stranger carry heavy boxes into their house willingly, you enjoy it. Whatever you do in your life, you have only two choices: do it willingly or unwillingly. When asked for clarity on what volunteer positions entail, Fntastic provided the following statement to WellPlayed: Read: Xbox Game Studios boss says Bethesda no longer has crunch culture Fntastic is positioning The Day Before as a AAA studio release – and its position on the Steam charts certainly justifies this – but this lack of compensation is shoddy at best. As WellPlayed pointed out, these roles are typically well-paid at game studios, and are considered an essential part of development.
