So... There was some talk of Nibris on the IGN boards today. There is an employee inside the company that posts semi-regularly on the boards. Today's thread marks the return from an absence of a couple of months. In that thread, there is a pic of a workstation with an official dev kit, and the word that they have a publisher.
This is not the important part of what is going on... Just on a hunch, I put in
http://ftp.nibris.com, as I do with various sites, to see if they put something up there that they didn't intend for us to see. Two things are up there. An image from November (concept art, capture, not sure), and an intriguing video just called "demo.avi". The video just finished downloading. It is from August. My WMP won't play this AVI file. Anyone else have any luck with it?
