Lou Goncey 3 Report post Posted November 2, 2015 Just curious, any update on when we should expect AEON? i am looking forward to it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vile 395 Report post Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) We are currently bashing out the previous experience systems - there are two, one quick and simple and one a life path system that will build your character background as you go. The end result, however, will be similar so that characters from either route will be able to adventure together. Unfortunately my co-writer is also a Traveller buff, and Mongoose have chosen this moment to release their 2nd edition playtest documents ... thanks, Matt - not! It will be out when it's out - although A:c is minimalist we need to make sure it meshes seamlessly with A:e, so we have to generate a lot of the advanced sub-systems at the same time.

Lou Goncey 3 Report post Posted December 6, 2015 Does the current news about the new direction of RuneQuest change the future of AEON? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vile 395 Report post Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Not a bit of it. Unless future news tell us that RQ7 will be a series of different settings using a modular universal minimalist D100 system. Edited April 2, 2017 by Vile 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vile 395 Report post Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I'm asking Matt to hurry up with the Mongoose Traveller 2 play test so my writing partner can get back to A:e! Edited April 2, 2017 by Vile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trifletraxor 436 Report post Posted June 4, 2016 Any new updates? ETA? Or has the project been halted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vile 395 Report post Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) The project creeps forward at a glacial pace! This was foreseen, as there are a lot of issues that have to be resolved "behind the scenes". AEON:core™ is a tiny game, but in order for it to fit into the AEON:engine™ modular systems and settings the latter have to be developed, at least in functioning framework format (or FFF as we like to call it here). So, it will be a wile yet until something more solid begins to make its appearance, but it has not halted. Edited April 2, 2017 by Vile 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou Goncey 3 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Just checking in on any information about how AEON is coming along. Not to be a nag -- just genuinely interested... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vile 395 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Currently working on a new direction for the base fantasy game, tentatively called AEON:mageword™. Edited April 2, 2017 by Vile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vile 395 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Nothing newsworthy - a lot of refinement has gone in, but it's still in draft form. "It" being AEON:mageworld™. The BLUEHOLME™ Journeymanne Rules Art Kickstarter is on schedule but keeping me pretty busy for the rest of this year. In 2017 I will prioritise the AEON:engine™ side of things.

Dethstrok9 30 Report post Posted January 13 Just read all this... Is there still a game in development? Or has this all been scrapped... Or has the game been published without my knowledge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vile 395 Report post Posted January 13 It's not been scrapped, nor is it really in development any more. Writing and playtesting on AEON:mageworld is pretty much complete, now it just needs time to turn it into publishable form. Unfortunately (?) I've been a victim of the success of BLUEHOLME™, so all A:e projects have had to go to the back of the queue. Luckily I should have considerably more time on my hands from 2021 onwards*, so there may be some movement on this then. * Boring Real Life Update: Running a degree programme with 200 undergraduates takes too much of my time, and doing it in Hong Kong over the last year has been "interesting" to say the least. All of this will come to an end later this year when I pseudo-retire and leave this part of the world behind. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean Trif may have to move this subforum out of the "Inactive" group???!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may have worded that somewhat obscurely. What I mean is that the basic fantasy game (AEON:underworld) is finished, but it will be a year or so before I can put it into publishable form.

g33k 2,449 Report post Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I too may have been unclear. What I meant was that, at some point, this forum may become much more active, and no longer "Inactive" (due to the dev having updates, beta players & playtesters having comments, etc). Would your departure y from "that part of the world" perhaps mark such a juncture? Edited 3 hours ago by g33k F'ing autocorrect 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
