Probably not a hoax. This guy did make a demo for the "2d" hobbit, it had some effort put into it, though it had been programmed into a corner. I'm just waiting to see what it's all about.

If it is true, it will be the most revolutionary stuff I've seen in years.

I did some beta testing for him a while back; he's competent, I'd give him the benefit of doubt.
But maybe you could post a couple screen shots....? If not of the game, than at least something that would clarify this whole screen 12 thing.

I dont think what he's saying is accurate, but that doesnt mean he's trying to hoax us. We'll just have to find out what he means when he releases whatever he's talking about.

Guys cool it. I dont think its a hoax. He is just not able to word it correctly. By screen 12 he prolly means the 640x480 rez and not the 16colors. Lets all just sit back and wait =)

I reckon that's probably correct. It's easy to confuse a 640x480 screenmode with SCREEN 12.

Yeah, but I asked him directly about it. And he insistently replied that it was SCREEN 12. Review the thread for clues...

well, give the kid a break. you really can't tell till he releases it, so there's no point in debating. *shrug*

I agree, toonski. It will be interesting too, considering the lack of 3D QB games.
