C3: How is the highly anticipated Wii game ‘Sadness’ progressing? Do you have an idea of when it will finally be released?
Nibris: When we are sure that Sadness is as good as we want it to be. This means that the game will be released no earlier than Q4 2008, and maybe even in sometime in 2009. This game will be a completely new thing in Game Industry.
C3: Is the game going to be making use of the WiiConnect24 feature of Wii for anything?
Nibris: No.
AR: How are you finding Wii development so far? Are there any things you wish the hardware could do that it currently cannot due to limitations?
Nibris: There are, of course, some limits in developing, but any other platform would not give us the opportunity to create Sadness the way we want. As for development costs, I don’t talk about them, although in Sadness’ case they are really big.
AR: Is there anything new you can tell us about the game?
Nibris: You will have to wait until E4All, but you will be given a sign soon (perhaps at the Games Convention in Leipzig) *smiles*
AR: Will Sadness be a stand-alone game or will you be aiming to make this into a series of games in the future?
Nibris: We are making this game as a stand-alone product because ‘nothing happens twice’. However, we are only the developer, so the last word will likely be with the publisher.
