Will JADE ever see the light of day or is it Vaporware at this point
in time?
At least one demo exists, so it's not complete vaporware, but development is slow at best.
Also, will there be a new version of the Windows Beta any
time soon?
Further ADOM work by TB seems unlikely. It's been years. You may want to visit the forums at http://www.adom.de/ for the opinions of a larger group of fans. -- Andy Williams ADOM Guidebook - http://www.adomgb.info/
Dwarf Fortress is getting closer to the point where it does most everything Jade would have. Magic is still nowhere in sight, but as far as a dyniamic and fully-fleshed-out world goes where everything connects to and affects everything else, you can't do better.
Plus, combat in adventurer mode is just so gratuitously _violent_.

Dwarf Fortress is a very different style of game though. JADE will be a ginle adventurer dungeon crawler at the basis of all things. DF is wonderful of course, but I really want to see JADE too.
As you can see JADE is still in a fairly basic state, but with some important framework implemented at least. Will be a long time before we see a game as complex as ADOM.
I wouldn't have called that a demo; it's not something we can run and test ourselves. I would have called it a teaser or a gameplay video or what-have-you.
If that's what was being referred to, though, it does clear up the perplexity of "why don't I remember noticing any demo?"...

I notice this question pops up on the newsgroup every once in a while, often in the form of, "Is ADOM dead?", or, "Is Thomas going to release the source code?", or, "When can we expect Jade?". In my mind, the discussion over further ADOM development, in spite of a great deal of evidence supporting the theory that Thomas has, in fact, chosen to utterly squander the goodwill and interest of his largely dispersed fanbase, is equivalent to the legalization of marijuana in the United States: People keep talking about it, God love 'em, but folks, it's never, ever, ever, EVER gonna happen. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not in a million, billion years.
