Despite the relative silence on Dust: An Elysian Tail since it won 2009's "Dream-Build-Play" competition, one man has been playing it daily for years now. That exclusive audience is the game's developer, Dean Dodrill, who says the game will finally be released at some point in 2012. Nay, he promises it'll be released in 2012.
"It's coming out in 2012, promise," Dodrill wrote under his pseudonym "Noogy" on the Neogaf forums. He doesn't give any other details, or even a more specific launch window, but we've reached out for a more definitive date.

Wow, I've been tracking this game since it was first revealed to the press. I thought it was just some off hand project that would never get finished. Looks like the developer was actually working on it all this time.

Damn impressive for what seems like a one-man-show.

There is a term used by Indie devs to describe a one man project. All music, graphics and code. Forget what it is, but its pretty much a respected thing amongst devs. I made a game with zombies in it was the same kinda deal. Pretty bad ass.

I have been waiting for this game for a long time now. I can't wait to finally get a hold of it.

This is the closest anyone's gotten to Vanillaware 2D art outside of Vanillaware. Must purchase.
Looks great in the trailer, but that logo's gotta go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmSAQwbbig8

Wow, this slipped off my radar some time ago. Thanks for the heads up Joystiq. You've proved once again how much more awesome you are then Kotaku. ;)

Yes, I've been excited about this for quite a while as-well. It's pretty close to my dream game to be honest, only thing better would be a 3D version! My most anticipated game of 2012 by far.
