Sweet Indeed. I hope this skin will run smoothly on xbox. For now I pleased myself with Aeon Auriga. Day by day Ellipsis release date is closer. java script:emoticon(':popcorn:',%20'smid_18')

The only thing we can do for applications/skins/... made by people for FREE and in their spare time, is wait and be thankful they make those things.
Only with patience we can survive this.... ;-)

if you can't do the time, do the skin yourself

but Blackbolt, how's it coming along for you? what's left to do? what i've seen so far it looks great. when you release it i will donate a few bucks so ju can go get yourself a cold one, you really deserve that

Jun 8 2009, 06:45 PM
I'm glad you guys cleared that up by yourselfs, I thought I was going to have to get the old moderator stick out the closet, been a while since I've had to use that.
Ellipsis very nearly done, I wouldn't say that if it wasn't. It's so close to being done, that not so long ago we where talking about releasing it on June 6th, to correspond with the the June 6th 2006 anniversary for the first public release of MC360. Unfortunatly due to certain unforeseen problems (fallout 3/PC issues/real life) we couldn't meet that deadline, plus it would only have been rushed. Since we killed that date as a release, the skin has gotten better, no threat of deadline means we're able to fully flourish our ideas into excellent sections of the skin.
Now I'll share my basic plan for how we'll release Ellipsis. When it does finally get released, it will be as a beta build, Beta Zero to be precise. This will be released via the website, which is being redone. Then we will take all the comments and bugs and fix as many as we can untill we think we're ready for Beta One. After Beta One its likely there will be a gap for a while while we regroup and get everything together. Eventually we will either release Beta Two if it's taking too long, or if not we'll just release Ellipsis 1.0. After that we're going to do something a bit special, which I am not ready to talk about yet.
So hang in there, theres only a few bits to do before we're ready for public beta. Just bare in mind its a lot of work and please remember this isn't being done alone by myself, Equinox is the coder and doing an amazing job, better than could ever be hoped, he deserves half the credit too if not more!
Another screeny for now:

Yes dude.
EqUiNoX and myself have started work on the library sections, once we're done with this, theres a few windows left to do. Once these are complete I believe we'll be ready for public consumption the form of Beta Zero.
Obviously I can't say when we can release I honestly dont know myself, could be 3 weeks, could be a month, could be 2 months possibley. Only thing to take from this is that Ellipsis is being worked on hard at the min, more so than it has been ever before and it will be finished, but untill I know for sure when we'll be ready I wont get into any dates, I wouldn't want to piss anyone off if we missed a date!
Also our new site should be ready shortly, they'll be alot more info there to read about Ellipsis and its design process. So have some more patience with us, you'll hopefully like what we've been doing as much as we do.

Perhaps we can have a litte competition to stimulate donations
the donator who donates the most (=sum of different donations) gets the privilege to experience Ellipsis in avant-première (14 days in advance) ...
