How many years has this been in development now? Has it reached the decade mark yet?

All else aside, the concept art is pretty kickin'. A good use of junk to craft armor. Is that a keyboard shin guard?

Ah, vaporware. What a really easy way to make money.
All you need is:
1) A good con artist to act as your VP of financing. His job is to convince investors that your product is for real without ever showing them said (non-existent) product.
2) A web artist to make you a really good website. This is essential to create the illusion that your company is for real.
3) A lot of dumb suckers who will give you money.
Want to start a new vaporware company? Just send me $29.95 and I'll start development* on an incredible** package of instructional videos*** that outline how to be a successful**** vaporare company, all from the comfort of home!*****
*That means I'll think about it.
**Incredible, as in: Not credible.
***Some imagination required.
****Some failure may occur.
*****By "From the comfort of home" I mean that I will sit at home, in comfort, as you send me money. |

Or a good Fallout by Bethesda.

I wonder what the Afterfall developers who read this thread are thinking...
Meh, they should stop reading and start working on the damn game already! |

Now this newspost's gonna be a classics. A kind of a cautionary tale.
On the other hand, I myself wouldn't scrap them for the time being. Not nice, y'know. I mean, it's still theirs wasted time, not ours (saving BN).
