I remember watching some footage of it on the day it was released in Early Access. Looked more than a bit shit.

The best part though: this thing actually has "mixed" reviews on Steam.

It was too good to be true anyway. This "fallout killer" had scam written all over it from the start. Just look at the damn concept arts, looks familiar isnt it? :lol:

Ocassionally i go to After Reset steam forums just to laugh at how persistent and desperate this Nixon guy is. He still keeps this illusion that his studio actually working on the game.

Thing is though, didn't the fella behind this "Richard Nixon" already have a track record of not delivering.
This was supposed to be the latest incarnation of his scam, this being the second or third time.

Didn't he do something regarding a NWN persistent server?

I saw a Steam review, which said that Nixon dude is doing a pateron for his "new" game. I couldn't find anything though. Any clues?

Maybe someone interested that I found mr. Nixon on other RPG forum several days ago and asked him when he will release his game. The answer is short - when he get free of bugs version from his dev's. After that he will put buggy version (I suppose version that selling for 50$ right now) as free demo on Steam.



As I see my game will be released much faster than AF. Seriously.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I WATCHING



You wouldn’t believe but that man (Jeffrey Pritz) who stole the money from us and finally wrote that he would never give them back – he has kept trolling us :( He knows that we put all our savings into development and have languished paying for it and working 10-12h/day. And he kept sending pictures and his videos trolling “That’s how I live on Hawaii on you money I stole” *facepalm*

Yeah. It's pretty old video. Another babycry text.

I think After Reset haven't been finished cause everything in the game was from Unity Asset Store (vfx, some models etc.) and code based on PlayMaker Unity plugin. It's a visual code generator like diagrams and blocks in Visio.

You can find PlayMaker menu on the last video



And now Nixon moved to mobile development

It's hard to believe but Mr.Nixon started to scam develop yet another fallout killer game! I present you: Encased. The kickstarter campaign successfully finished with €105,745 of 2,938 suckers.

As for After reset, we have repeatedly said that our studio is not related to the development of this game.

Of course After Reset was "developed" by Black Cloud Studios, this vapourware by Dark Crystal Games of Black Cloud Studios. Yeah, right...
More information in this Steam discussion: Encased: New RPG from After Reset team now on Kickstarter
Hello! My name is Vladimir, and I am one of the backers of After Reset RPG, a game that gathered 90.000 USD from 3000 backers on Kickstarter, after which the developers just dissapeared with the money. I found out that developers behind the scam now refurbished their company as "Dark Crystal Games" the name of the new money grab is "Encased old-school RPG". The head designer behind the failed After Reset, Andrey Lyapichev aka Weilard aka Mr.Nixon is leading this new team. Please, spread this information around. As a person who lost $250 backing their previous scam I can't simply sit around and see it happen again to the new people these criminals try to fool with their fake campaign!

All the needed proof is in the attachment and the links below. Please, do something about it. Help stop the scam

This is basically the same as a ton of other post-apocalyptic game. Hardly the smoking gun that you seem to think it is and like the other user already pointed out, this particular conspiracy theory has been debunked.

After reset isn't a game that was never finished, it is a game that never started, maybe someone that worked in wanted to start it, but the boss himself never had the intention to start. They said that Nixon stole some hours, maybe some days of work to people that made a very short tech demo and didn't paid them It appears only people that made art managed to get paid because art was the only thing that Nixon managed to deliver.
