N-E: Were there any signs that Nibris was anywhere close to entering actual development of Sadness?
Antolski: A couple of times, first when we made a deal with Frontline, and then a couple times later - but we had a lot of problems with deadlines. In my opinion: it was because there was no main designer, just three leading creative members of the team but no actual leader. There is a Polish proverb, "When there are six cooks, there is nothing to eat," and I think it sums everything up.

N-E: Did Nibris actually have official Wii development kits? Are they a licensed developer?
Antolski: Well, we certainly had Dolphin development kits, for the GameCube, and as far I know, a Wii development kit is just some kind of add-on for the Dolphin.

N-E: So Nibris are licensed GameCube developers?
Antolski: I'm certain we had Dolphin, I am not sure we had that add-on for the Wii though. I was told that we were going to be licensed by Nintendo, and we were supposed to get those kits, but they didn't tell me how the whole thing ended and when.

N-E: When did you start working at NIBRiS, and how long did you work there?
Antolski: I started at the very beginning, in 2006, and it lasted just over a year ... I had absolutely no experience: In fact, I wasn't even an adult yet.

This game will never get made, but someone should make a game based in Lviv anyway, because that's a great setting for a videogame (or media in general).

Also, lulz.
 
:lol :lol :lol

"Just some kind of addon" Sorry but the ductape is played out Nibris. Anyone still have the happiness photoshop?

Damn you. You win... for now!

Do you have a devkit? I have the add-on. We can share the minecarts!

I'm certain we had Dolphin.... I wasn't even an adult yet.
 
Where's that dude who kept claiming that the game was real?

edit: GAFfer, I mean. He was in every fucking Nibris thread.
 
I just want to know what the minecart was going to be used for. That poor object is all alone and has no place to call home -- its creators are cruel.

Are you talking about that guy that said that little video footage was proof that Nibris can make a good game?

:lol

I forget what that one does. There's also one with the front red. The actual dev kit is just a generic black box.

It's the review one, the red front one has a HDD that can load ISO's onto it. I've seen one up close.

We're not supposed to talk about it :P

Oh really?! I assumed that the actual physical appearance of dev kits was considered trivial knowledge enough to not be NDA'd... I mean there's a whole forum (Assembler Games) that discusses prototype and dev hardware and software.

Plus most of the time it's trivially uninteresting.

Guess what a dev PS2 looks like? A really big PS2!
Guess what a dev Xbox 360 looks like? An Xbox 360! BUT BLACK!

Does the XBox do the miraculous thing and break this pattern?
 
:lol even better is that the minecart was made by frontline

N-E: Frontline Studios parted ways with Nibris citing artistic differences. What were the terms of the deal with Frontline, and how much work did Nibris and Frontline get done together?
Antolski: Practically nothing. There were some meetings which I wasn't invited to, however the practical and most important matter was we couldn't match deadlines. By the way, I believe they did that 3D object, the minecart I was talking about earlier.

Well x360 devkits are black or white. New ones are white normally.

This whole drama should be put into a graphic novel, GAF gifs and all. An instant classic we´ll still be telling our grandchildren about. :lol
