What a fascinating story. I still feel this is some seriously shady practice however. One guy drawing some pictures, then cropping them later, and saying "Hey Cubed, new game coming!" is pretty dubious.

True to my word, here's the response from Nibris' PR guy:

"Of course - our graphic artist - Marek Okon - "Omen" (designer of ROTR and Children of th Night) sometimes puts some of his on this site - it is nothing unusual. Btw, he is a winner of many contests."

Doesn't change anything. As far as I'm concerned Nibris are BS until they actually release a game, or at the very least show something playable.

I wanna settle this.

FWIW, I tried to interview them for most of last year, and they gave me an epic runaround.

sp0rsk, why don't you PM me with your email address, or at least some burning questions you want answering and I can pass them on. Or, in fact, just email whatever you want to me... :)

That doesn't make any sense.

Hey, I'm going to use art that I made for a completely different purpose and crop it, and somehow it'll mesh perfectly with this concept game!

What?

Did the artist ever respond?

I think the point is that he wanted to do it himself. Which is, you know, pretty reasonable.

Hey no fair, I'm laffing at GAF ownage, not rooting for Nibris.

I doubt we'll ever see anything, but you never know. DS games arnt that expensive to create.

Eh, okay. Point taken. I don't think it's anything even approaching ownage though.

Yeah, I understand that. I was just giving him other options should they fail to respond to him directly (a situation others seem to have been faced with).

Yeah, it would have been better if there was another few pages of outrage at the "stolen" art, before Spork got to the bottom of it. Still , I was laughing at silly GAF.

E-mail interview is no good. Can't do anything with that.

Of course I do. But what can I do about it, seriously? If they only choose to do email-based interviews that's their call (possibly because of their level of English, who knows?). If Piotr isn't responding to emails (he's the one that posts on Cubed³ normally, although it seems to be a shared account), then email Radek on media@nibris.net and ask if something can be sorted out.

Uh, all that art just makes them seem a lot more unprofessional and thus a lot less "real".. Even if the deviant art account owners say they're making them for their games. Just trying to look at this objectively..

All I know is that I get to either see an amusing thread investigating a fake game studio, OR I get to buy another Wii game eventually.

Either way, things are "looking good".
