Where is NEON for PC????

[PVB]

I apologize if this is old news, but I wasn't able to find the answer with some simple searches ...

Is it safe to assume that Neon for the PC will be able to work with the audio-in signal, so (for instance) I could hook it up to my hi-fi rig and visualize from any external sound source? Or does it require that I play audio internally from the PC?

Thanks,

Neon should work with any audio input, whether from PC music players (Winamp, WMP, etc.) or external via the Line input, etc.

Could I run Neon on one monitor, while I play Duke Nukem Forever on the other?

Any updates on the PC version of neon ?
Please give us a reasonable estimate.
Thanks

Neon PC doesn't exist!

Any beta testers around want to show us some nice screens every so often? Or maybe some short vids. I love my mind-altering vis. Ta.

It's being endlessly tweaked and altered by Llamasoft. They may have given themselves an impossible brief here; they're obviously not going to release it till it's 'finished' and it won't ever be finished because there's no point where they can't add more techniques or layers. In the end, it will just keep growing and growing of its of volition untill the next thing you know...



(Only, you know, with goat heads.)

Is all.

Slightly off-topic but is there any talk of an update to neon on the 360, possibly as a result of work on this PC version?

The recent NXE has spoiled the 360 version IMO and I wondered if there has been any mention of a fix for it or, better still, an updated version with some editor bits that we could pay for through XBLA or even XBCG?

With work on SG PC and GR+++ I doubt Llamasoft have the time at the moment.

You would have thought MS tried Neon in the new NXE before launch and could have notified Yak of the issues, but it seems they didn't.

Tried it myself last night and I dunno what specifically is wrong with it, but it just doesn't look right. Might be a screen refresh thing, but I found it hard to look at the screen with some of the stacks.

Yeah I'm really disappointed at the way Microsoft have handled this as it's obvious to anyone that Neon doesn't run properly now and that Llamasoft clearly weren't involved anywhere in the NXE update process. I might be completely wrong, but it looks like a simple timing issue as well and shouldn't have been too much work to fix.

Like I said earlier, I just hope we get an updated version through one distribution channel or another.

Thing is, I very much doubt they are that concerned. I don't mean that in a nasty way, simply that it does what MS want it to, which is provide some snazzy graphics when it's playing audio. They really aren't interested in the subtleties of the interactive side of Neon or if the effects are altered by the new dash. As long as it's not actually crashing I doubt anyone other than us lot will even notice.

Yep, considering that the manual/user guide that came with my 360 didn't even mention Neon and their own camera input to Neon wasn't created by Llamasoft, it's not high on their "we care" list.

Yeah, sadly all the evidence would say you're both right.

It's ironic in a week when they are making great public claims about supporting indi developers with the launch of Community Games that they treat an iconic indi developer like Llamasoft this way.
