Can we expect any sneak peeeks sometimmee sooon?

When we have something sexy to show off, yeah. Since we haven't released media in so long, we don't want to release anything that looks like a work in progress. All the games that create bullshots don't have this issue, but we don't want to give the incorrect impression that the work-in-progress screenshots would even remotely represent the final product. Unfortunately a lot of gamers would have that misconception (or that the game will look worse at release) due to the unfortunate prevalence of bullshots in this industry.
This brings up a good point I don't think we adequately covered during our initial release. We so absolutely avoided pre-renders and "to-spec" screenshots it wasn't even funny. Not out of any deliberate intent, merely because it never occurred to us as a proper thing to do. After the fact (we were pretty sleep deprived at the time of production

) we looked back and went "huh, we could have made friggin photographs had we gone the standard route." But we would never do such a thing. We never even did the much-employed trick of rendering at super high res (2536 x something else ridiculous) and downsampling to get that pixel-sharp look. Every single screen is from the engine, just running along all dandy on our own machines.
We're absolutely going to continue this. Maybe turn on some AA, but nothing more.
And it is for that reason that my cohort, AllianceEric, is spot on- the stuff has to be good enough to warrant your praise, hacks be damned.
