A little bit of Sadness makes me happy
The PR manager's strategy of the nefarious Nibris corporation is apparently quite bastardly. This new studio, whom is working on Raid Over The River on the DS and Sadness on the Wii, has been intentionally very skimp with updates on their projects, but they released this one miserable tiny photo today on a UK forum. Speaking of his miserly boss, here's what a Nibris rep has to say about his outfit:
Way to strangle us with anticipation, thanks! While it's just a tiny early photo, I hope they do model a giant DS Lite in the garden of that creepy mansion. I'm also intrigued about the lack of beefy hardware shown in the picture. I'll hold my hateful jabs, but I'm surprised Wii games can be developed on a standard laptop a tiny dev kit. There better be a closet full of renderboxes on the floor or I'm calling prerendered crap early. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Development nowadays is mostly done remotely. You're given a desktop box to do your coding/testing that you just VPN into from your laptop. This allows developers to bring laptops to meetings, and work from home without needing to have a 'work' PC at home. Is that image on his laptop the first in game footage? from what I see it looks nice. that black and white stuff might actually work. the "Bigger picture here" doesn't look like it's in-game looks more like a sketch to me. On the pictures I've seen of the gamecube dev kits there is no NDEV to be found but who knows maybe it's a new model, I start to believe the image on the laptop is his wallpaper. 5:00 AM on 05.25.2013 Mega Man X pew pews onto Wii U eShop on May 30Do you know why the above trailer is so amazing?
