You guys should just dump whoever these people you're working with. Neon would sell really nicely on Steam.

Of course if this is Valve you're talking about then perhaps its best waiting.

Also, as you'd be flogging it to professional graphics kids, Llamasoft would be entirely within it's rights to charge more for the pluginized (ahaha) version as a pro art tool.

Aye, exactly. It could even be broken down into a suite of plug-ins that perform specific effects and work with each other, like the Trapcode filters:

So you'd have your particle generator, your feedback effects, 3D tunnel effect and so on, all available as individual plug-ins.

Perhaps. But sometimes it is better to just get on with it, rather than waiting around for the implied promise of a better deal that will never appear. If you want a job doing, then usually it comes down to you doing it.

All is possible technically, if the documentation supplied is enough.

A VST plugin version would be very nice, especially with Neon's output fullscreen on a secondary display (of course the option to render it to a video file would be a bonus).

In total agreement!
