Sadness website does nothing to dispel vaporware rumors

Hold on, what's all this? A Sadness rumor that actually came true? This can't be right -- and it sort of isn't. The website is there, and it's got stuff on it, but the stuff is old and it's a pretty amateur attempt at a website. It's just, you would think that the creators of the most talked-about Wii game pretty much ever would make the effort to put together a good show, but it looks somewhat awful.

The screens are old and tiny, the text is formatted all wrong (and translated poorly), and there is no trailer, although it will be "Coming soon (this vacation maybe)." Maybe? Maybe? Whatever.

To top it off, the release is scheduled for Fall 2009. That is, over a year from now. On the plus side, Nibris representatives will be attending the Leipzig Game Convention this year, so if nothing turns up at E3 we might find something there.

One thing about the website though, It has all those Nintendo logos/trademark stuff at the bottom. Surely they can't have all that there unless they actually are a legit Wii developer.

Atleast that gives some credibility to the notion that Sadness is actually real. Although I still have my doubts, lol.

Lol, the creators are Poland based. Krakow to be exact...

I can only hope that this is another case of enthusiastic developers that don't waste funds and time on a website for people to spam to as long as there is nothing to see yet. Autumn Moon's Adventure game "A Vampyre Story" for PC closes in on it's release date and their website lacks some attention too but from what the devs have told me in the forums that's because they are way too busy to make the actual game.
