That's true, counting from when work on Driftmoon was started, we're not really newbies at all.

The first version of Driftmoon has been under development since Autumn 2009, but the engine is even much older than that, Ville started programming it already in 2005. Making an RPG from scratch is a long project for two people working normal jobs on the side, and taking care of two lovely kids.
Then again, the current plot behind Driftmoon
is actually relatively new, from earlier this year. So, if you ever got around to playing our ancient 2beegames-competition preview in 2009, Driftmoon is actually a whole new game now.
