After reading about the cancellation of the Bob Ross game, I have come to the conclusion that the next Wii game to be canceled will be Sadness from Nibris.
Think about it, the game has been announced a while back and since then NOTHING has been shown. All we have is some artwork, empty promises and a video of what they think the game might be like. But no screens, gameplay footage or solid details. Nothing. That is a bad sign right there.
True, games do take a while to develop and Nibris could be just waiting for the game to be ready before they show it off, but considering the huge media hype surrounding the Wii right now they could've at least showed some gameplay footage or make an official statement.
So yeah, I think Sadness might go through development hell and be canceled, so don't be surprised if a year had passed and no news on the game has surfaced. Again, I may be wrong with this, but I find it weird that nothing of the game has surfaced.

I'm sure they'd be the first to break the news if something happened.
Sadness has potential, but you're right, many games further along than that have had the plugs pulled on them, so this may suffer the same fate.

See that's the thing. They haven't even gotten official dev kits and they are already hyping the things they want to do with the game.
I wouldn't be surprised that if the game does get released it will not live up to its expectations because their ambition was far bigger than what they could actually do in the game (just like what happened to Ubi and Red Steel).

The title of this thread scared me; shame on you.

regarding the game, I doubt it'll be cancelled, I think that at most it'll be like DNF or Too Human....

As for the game, its good that they finally got a publisher, but that doesn't mean the game will flourish anytime soon. Once they show off videos, screens, gameplay footage and demos then I will give them more credit.
And I still believe that if Sadness is released it will suffer the same problem Red Steel had and that is it was too ambitious for its own good, becoming a game full of potential but with too many failed ideas.

Now that you mention it, N-Space (developers of Geist), also received help from Miyamoto.
Shiggy, the indie developer's walking aid!

It's been so long with out even an utterance. Same thing happened with project hammer.....nobody spoke of it again.

Also, don't count a game out just because no one hears anything about it. Games spend a long time going through their primary programming period during which there is generally little to nothing to say about the game.

Personally, I think any new studio tackling a product in 3D is biting off more than they should try to chew. Start slow, like with a 2D game of some kind and then work your way up.

Enticing gamers with the promises of Sadness for a year or two before you even have certainty that you'll be developing the game is going to come back and bite them in the ass (it's already biting them now).

Fortunately for us, nothing is ever forgotten on the Internet and lots of people saved it and put it on YouTube.

The clip is less than 30 seconds long and there's only about 5 seconds worth of game footage (none of which is particularly interesting).
I'm not quite sure whether this proves the game is real or proves it is a fake.

GoNintendo posted some supposedly leaked Sadness footage (http://gonintendo.com/?p=53372) yesterday, only to take it down a half hour later.

The reason GoNintendo took is down was because they believed it was a fake.
And I completely forgot about the Bob Ross game. I recall the developers saying that it was still on track, but then dropped the game all together.
