Vaporware Awards 2007
If I could, I would nominate Graal 3d for the Vaporware awards 2007, but I still don't know if it takes the "Duke Nukem Forever" path, or the "Stalker" path.

It would be nice to atleast see screenshots, maybe a updated beta, because it seems, atleast at the moment, that there is no progress at all.
As user-rates seem to be stagnating, and Graal 3d used as excuse for no development in other areas, atleast send a lifesign, and if its a new screenshot .

Well there's shareware, programs that can be tried, freeware, free programs... nagware, programs that nag you to pay for them, and I guess vaporwares, programs that fade into nothingness like vapor?

You can nominate it. Just let Wired.com know...

And Rapidwolve: Vaporware is software, or hardware that's hyped up over and over again by a company but is never released. Some famous examples include Duke Nukem Forever, and the Phantom console (until it was cancelled).

That was cancelled eventually so I don't think it can't be classed as vaporware now.

Some staff can already play Graal3D so its definitely not vaporware
We plan to release some interesting things soon, there is a lot of new things to release, but like we said before we cannot give exact release dates yet.

A time scale would be appreciated though. This has been said over and over for a very long time now. It almost has no meaning!

What you mean "Almost", kemosabe?

Yeah, I think we've got 2 issues here. 1, there's the camp that Just Wants G3D, No More Promises of "Coming Soon" GIVE US THE HAWTNESS! and 2, there's teh camp that Just Wants The Excuse To Die - we couldn't care less about G3D, we want (...) and part and parcel, we want Stefan back so he can work on our (...) list of projects. Which we're sure are much more interesting, important and profitable than any "dumb Ocarina Of Time ripoff".
I'm the second camp, but this is a discussion headed by the first camp. Keep your definitions everybody, there will be future discussions on either topic...

who cares about graal 3d really.

Players cant even make a good 2d playerworld, god forbid they get to work on a 3d one.

The gameplay for 2d worlds is almost non-existant, go play a big game if you want playability

Oooooh! Angst to the max!

At any rate, I bet Graal3D would be more successful than you think.

Just because you (the head coder of the project) say this does not make it any less of a candidate for a Vapourware Award

The company that's developing it had an ad for some hiring they're doing if I'm not mistaken. It had a small, lo-res image in it of what the project supposedly looks like as of 2007.

So I guess the put up or shut up rule is in effect. :D
