Nope. It's fake.

They've been showing the same stuff since 2010 and claiming they're close to a public release.

The problem becomes apparant when you start looking into what they say the do; they can only fool people who bascially know nothing about programming limits. They basically claim they're using the CG version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism. As anyone who's even partially tech-savvy knows, having a PC render all that will bring the system to a crawl, no matter what tricks they use, due to the sheer amount of data needed to be processed.

A good example is http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/342901 (requires flash 9 or greater.) It's a 2d particle sim game. Pile in enough particles, erase what keeps them in place, and the program will noticably start to lag, having to calculate what happens next. You don't even have to fill the screen to cause this to happen. I mention this, because they claim that they're basically using a screen filled with their points that change based on input, to create a 3D environment. And this is assuming they're not using spock speak to describe pixels so they can get more money from investors.

In short, it's a scam, and they will eventually get sued for failing to make good on their claims.

I think it is unlisted when the privacy setting is set to only have a unique link and cannot find it via public search (i.e. Only the uploader has the link but can give it to anyone and how many as he pleases).

Yep. Nothing suspicious about that there. If they really were working on amazing new tech that would revolutinize the gaming community, and have previously made public announcements, why would they try to hide a tech demo like that?

What, the Illuminati? I knew they were up to something. These are dangerous plains to roam on the Internet, EpicFail. Be careful.
