Just last week, Nibris came out of 3 months of hiding with some gameplay footage? of their DS title Raid over the River. This week? More 'news' Nibris.
Nibris announces another new project
When the world has begun to doubt whether or not you even exist, and your "games" have become comedic fodder, what's a young developer to do? We would suggest something crazy, like finishing a game, or even just following through when promising official statements. But the folks at Nibris, they're rebels. Instead, they've announced yet another title, this time a horror game for the DS. The Children of the Night is said to feature third person gameplay and a deep story. Unlike the rumored Sadness, it will be in full color. At least, that's the plan: a commenter under the name of "Nibris" who sometimes speaks out at C3 reported that the game is still in a conceptual stage. Yeah, we know -- a Nibris game only in the planning stages? Say it ain't so!
The commenter also reports that Sadness is almost complete, thus freeing up the creative team for work on Children of the Night, but we'll believe that one when we see lots of actual gameplay footage ... and maybe a copy on a shelf somewhere. Don't get us wrong. We want all these games to exist, and to be released, and for everyone to join hands and sing about making the world a better place. But when videos feature flash carts with other commercial games on them, deadlines come and go repeatedly, and gameplay footage continues to be presented in a slapdash manner, we start to doubt things a little.
The sarcasm pretty much sums up my feellings exactly.
