The contacts page lists "Greg Douglas" as CTO - sounds like it might be this guy: http://www.doolwind.com/blog/game-developer-spotlight-greg-d...

Also, the same name appears against:

- A C++ R-Tree ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-tree ) implementation: http://www.superliminal.com/sources/sources.htm (towards end)

- A contributor to the GameMonkey script engine.

I think it is legit, but the other shoe will drop when we see which knob got turned to max. at the expense of the others - My initial guess covers pretty much what others have pointed out - materials, lighting, compression. The example scenes look instanced to all hell (ie: the scene is a DAG).

Edit: Also see:
