The self-proclaimed Polish videogame developer Nibris has updated its website, dating the release of their alleged Wii title ´Sadness´ which they now promise for fall 2009. The website is still partly under construction, as the brief welcoming message explains:
Welcome to our new website. Take a moment to explore it. Premium features are coming up soon so don't forget to visit again.
The company also has a new slogan: ´You will feel it´, which hints at the direction they want ´Sadness´ to take.
Dear player, thanks to our games, we want you to experience genuine feelings - emotions, sadness, fear or joy.
There are no new media for their upcoming games. In fact, no other titles are mentioned. There is merely a brief game description for ´Sadness´ in sub-par English:
Game description
The study of fear and the borders of human imagination... A trip to the darkest corners of consciousness, in all of us... A trip to the hell of the subconscious and not necessarily to return...
This gothic horror (atmosphere) is not the game of the action. If you're counting on shooting, litres of blood and piles of dead bodies then unfortunately you won't find this here. We are preparing for a mood which will not leave you till the very end of the game. An irregular scenario decides on such issues as schizophrenia or narcolepsy. Apart from an extremely complex and rich-in-the-shocking-factor scenario, the power of our production is innovative use of the Wii controller.
Sadness is black and white psychological horror game in which you control Maria - Victorian age aristocrat trying to protect her 8 year old, blind son from monsters trying to get him. Action is set on the verge of XIX and XX century, in ruins in woods of Russian Empire. Entire game focus on psychological aspects of fear and player interactions with Alexander.

Coming soon (this vacation maybe).
Nibris further claims that some staff members will be attending the Games Convention, which is to take place in Leipzig, Germany from August 20th.
The studio has also posted the following job vacancies for their Cracow, Poland office: programmers, project manager, 2D animators, 3D animators, 3D artists, 2D (concept) artists. Additionally, they are considering applications by animators and asset artists (2D & 3D) to work from home.
In addition to FOG Studios and Emergent Game Technologies, which were already associated with Nibris, the studio now also lists the publishers Slitherine Software and ZOO Digital Publishing as partners.
I will soon publish my in-depth investigation into the studio (after my first such article on Crossbeam Studios). Please stick with this blog until then. Thank you all for your patience.
EDIT Here is a little taste of what my article will unearth. The job page shows two images, work01.jpg and work03.jpg. If you enter work02.jpg, you reveal the following image which shows a Wii development kit.
That is a real Wii dev kit. I have seen one myself once. But does that mean ´Sadness´ will actually be published on the console? Wait for the in-depth article and find out.

nice taste. REALLY looking forward to the whole article-- it's sure to blow up like the crossbeam one did.
ReplyDeletein fact, it became so huge that it basically forced crossbeam to push out some definitive information-- being under fire from every angle... hopefully nibris' publisher feels the same about the nibris article's imminent super-exposure and will do the same.
-"superfan" tactics.
Wow, I'm excited!
ReplyDelete^^^ check your pants, poopy >=]
ReplyDeleteI was reading through some Sadness articles on IGN and remembered that you mentioned Nibris in the Crossbeam article, so I came over here to check up on the studio's validity and you have a teaser! Damn. You're trying to force me to give your blog more hits aren't you?
ReplyDeleteBelieve me the game will come out, everything takes time though.
ReplyDeletecan not help to wait it out

ReplyDeletedo you know when wii2 will come back to market ?
http://nintendowii2.blogspot.com says that it is very soon...
I know Nintendo's last secret for the wii?
ReplyDeleteWant to know?
I will do an exclusive for your blog.
But i must keep my identity anonymous at all costs. At this point at Nintendo there are quite a number of people that have been privy to the final secret. I can share these with the fan base now as we are close to releasing this last piece of the wii puzzle and it wouldn't make a difference now or later to announce it.
u-huh
ReplyDeleteWoah I'm very excited. What should it be?
ReplyDeleteA flood of hardcore games?
Sorry , but it is hard to believe. But when it really "wouldn't make a difference now or later to announce it" - then just do it. We will see if it becomes true.
Hi Anonymous. Why simply tease information and not come out with it straight away? You realise that most people here will simply believe that you are lying, myself probably included. But give it a shot, if you must try to convince us.
ReplyDeleteHey Falafelkid:
ReplyDeleteWhen will you release the Sadness-Article?
