Get your facts right before you post.

Our goal is to breed the Aeon concept with his skills and vision to create the best skin in the world. We'll keep you posted on every major update with screenshots etc, but for the moment we're still tossing ideas back and forth and seeing what's best and what's possible.

The good news is that we're seeing a 1:1 turnaround of concept to code within a day for most of the designs we've tried out. The advantage of doing Aeon for a year is that nothing's really a secret anymore on the code front, so we can focus energy on what really counts: the design. Sorry to anyone expecting incremental updates to "classic" Aeon. All I can say is that your patience will be rewarded. Also, any content you collect for Aeon like backdrops and nfos will be very much accommodated by its successor.

I'm making it public simply to allay any fears that we're sat on our arses and to give you some insight into how we're doing things. A lot of concepts are being devised, realised, modified and discarded to ensure that this new Aeon arrives complete and in the best possible shape. This, then, is just one of several prototypes we're messing around with and signifies nothing, not even necessarily a direction. Hopefully, though, it gives you a slight impression of the quality bar that's been set and our desire to keep you "in the loop" over the coming weeks. Just think: if this is from the reject bin, what does that bode for the production model?

Everything else adheres to the Aeon philosophy (especially its custom backdrop support) but has changed a lot. Hell, I wouldn't even bank on this view looking similar or even appearing at all. Exciting times indeed.
