| folks,
i posted this over at amiga.org, but didn't get much response, so i thought i'd retell my thoughts here.... a few weeks ago i got my latest issue of amiga future magazine in the post, rather excited for the review of the new stormC editor from alinea. looked good, bought a copy, love it. but... in the screenshot used in the review there was some sourcecode that referenced an assign for "arteffect 5."
i didn't think much of it at the time, but then, i saw the following screenshot in a discussion thread over on support.amigaos.net which has an icon for, you guessed it, arteffect 5. and yesterday, while perusing through the amiga software database, i found this: a new entry for arteffect 5 with a release date of 2013.
so, is it really possible? after all of this time? we know stefan robl was working on a powerpc-native version of arteffect back in 2004-2005. there's still mention of it on his personal website.
what do you guys think? is it actually possible we'll see a new version of this excellent graphics package which hasn't seen a significant update since the H&P days? or am i just seeing what i want to see?

| Hi, please not write about it ;) There is not much to write ... As many know is ArtEffect 68k and the aim is to put it in a PPC native Version, but this is a long, long way. The icon+software has in the current state not much to do with a final AE5.

The fact that Alinea have already published StormC5ED shows that they are currently serious about the IP they bought from H&P.
I'm quite impressed by the fact that they just quietly got on with it. Who'd heard of StormC5ED until the review in Amiga Future. |

It also has an icon called "arteffect bugs"
