Call me deluded but I'm pretty optimistic when it comes to "vaporware" software. The quotes are there since sometimes these things do become solid. It paid off with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, so yeah, I'm still hopeful that Nibris' Sadness would turn out the same.

After like a year with no updates whatsoever, Nibris has finally made some noise via a comment on their YouTube page mentioning an E3 2009 appearance and reiterating the game's Fall 2009 target. Then again, didn't they say the same thing about the Leipzig Games Convention last year?

Sadness's ex-scriptwriter Adam Artur Antolski says the game is definitely real, though. Talking to N-Europe, he said that Nibris is still using a lot of the stuff he came up with for the game and that as far as he knows, Sadness is still alive.
