Mmk.. my bad, my memory is apparently quite spotty because I see nothing about 3D on RTSoft's site. But I never said I was definitely sure, so.. 
My apologies anyway for getting your hopes up, some of you. (though I prefer 2D personally)
The post Simeon quoted was from just two or three weeks ago; here's an older one from January that also alludes to Dink (and mentions 2D, d'oh):
I've been puttering away fulltime on new games for a few months now.
I've got two projects going but the one that is most interesting to me is a hardware accelerated 2D game - I've been working on the game engine and editor and it's pretty sharp. Supports some really nifty features, for instance, internally, it doesn't use tiles at all, but the editor can emulate tiles, even using many tile sizes in the same map! (Thanks for the idea, Lerc!)
As a test, I wrote an importer for the original Dink map, it was neat seeing the entire Dink map with full zoom capabilities, you can smoothly zoom out from one screen to show the entire map at once! I put up some screenshots here and here.
Uh, just to be clear the new game doesn't use Dink tiles, it's just a test.
Note how he says the new game doesn't use Dink tiles, but he doesn't say that the new game isn't a new Dink. Also, he's working on two projects. Hrm... I sure wish he'd announce something, it's been a pretty good while since we saw something totally new out of the RTSoft camp, for those of you who keep up with it.
