long answer: [I can't say as people with ban sticks might listen in]
in some ways it's good these trolls exist to turn away other clueless idiots who can't work out for themselves the difference between a really great game with no PR from a really crap game with hyped PR (eg: AoC). it will keep the clueless idiots out of DF when it releases.
Uh... I'm on your side buddy. And you said the TROLLS are braindead? Seriously, scroll up, I trashed Waterlilly a little while back. Some artists that work on Darkfall have worked on other projects, or have since left Darkfall to work on other projects.
i don't think any full-time DF artists or programmers would be working on anything unrelated to DF. i'm a programmer with 10+ years in the business and i can tell you anyone not pulling 10 hour days at this stage of the game has probably already been let go. out of work hobbies don't count.
anyone with actual software development experience can see from the outside it's a real game, and can extrapolate from the various screenshots and such where they're at with the project. it's no coincidence that DF is only questioned by clueless forum idiots and not by serious software developers.

<sigh> The trolling is done. We know the game exists, when are you people going to stop? They have an old, well respected, European distributer, the game was announced to the companies stock holders. It exists. Its legit.
As I stated before, no, we don't know if it really exists. Many other games have provided more information, and gotten further down the road to distribution only to fail at the last second. (G&H is a great example).
When its finally released and available for sale, its legit...till then, its all just vaporware.
Also, to those who argue, then all software is vaporware, including games like WAR. True enough, but the difference is in the probability of them releasing.
In WAR's case, it would be fair to estimate the probability of release within the next year at about 90%.
Darkfall on the other hand it would be generous to peg the number much higher than 10%.

Oookie, a long time since I have last updated my personal site. This is because I’ve been very busy the past months with all kinds of work and projects, and even though I have tons of new stuff, I can’t show any of them yet to the public because of nda’s and such. Will have to wait until after misc. release dates
I’ve been working a lot for ImagineFX again, and for the current issue (28) I made a workshop on values, and the result you can see here. I also recorded a long video when painting this, which comes with the DVD embedded with the magazine.
I would also like to mention that we (Tascha and I) launched the Pixelbrush, main site recently at our forum’s 1-year anniversary. This is basically a resource site for artists with links, interview, reviews, and art. We’re still in the process of adding content, and hoping that it will be a helpful place in the future for aspiring artists.

Hi everybody! I just wanted to post something quick to show that I’m still alive. In fact more than ever
I’ve been INCREDIBLY busy the past months, both with work and personal matters. Concerning new works, I have tons laying around here waiting to be posted after official publishing dates and all that jazz. I will have more card games to show, both A Game of Thrones, Call of Cthulhu (both card games AND some other tentacly snacks). There are lots of more tutorials just waiting to be implemented, there are personal pieces, commissioned pieces, and 3D stuff.
In other nice news, I was surprised that my portfolio over at CGSociety was featured as the fourth most visited portfolio. I had NO clue about this and completely caught by surprised when someone pointed me to this article."
What do you think? Is the art director of Aventurine working on anything unrelated to DF? Not to question his dedication to the project, but he's obviously working on a lot of stuff unrelated to DF for monetary remuneration, which are the "other jobs" mentioned in this thread. Yet you said it was made up. Even SignusM, a supporter, admitted it. Saying everything you dislike acknowledging is made up doesn't make it go away or be untrue.
So comissioned work you get paid for is a personal hobby now? Did you even read the posts or did you just skip them? I'm beginning to doubt you're a sensible person.
let me put it this way, do you think he's working on these side projects while being paid by Aventurine? do you think an art director could possibly be employed as less than full-time? what the guy does out of hours has no bearing on the game, and yes i too have done paid consultancy work outside a regular 50 hour a week job.

peruse the several hundred screenshots and 5 official videos and decide for yourself whether the game is real or not.
