A conceptual design for "AUMAAN Download Archive", which was going to be the successor of the original "AUMAAN" as a MGS:TUS supplement.
The subsite was going to be used for hosting downloads (music, videos, etc.) for MGS:TUS, essentially integrating the site with the best of the original AUMAAN.

This design took on a similar appearance to that of MGS:TUS v2, so that AUMAAN would feel familiar to the users of MGS:TUS.

You may notice this approach was going for a more abstract, "METAL GEAR AC!D 2" feel.

This time around, it's believed that at this point "ADA" was going to be its own standalone site. In regards to design, this one was essentially a sort of "messing around" thing.
While the name says "AUMAAN: Zone of the Enders", this was going to be more or less the same as "AUMAAN Download Archive". However, like the others, none of the designs really took off because Nitroid is known for juggling a dozen projects at any given time.
You'll notice right away that AUMAAN (2010) used this concept as the base for its design.
Yet another one of Ryan's concept designs for AUMAAN. This one was around the time MGS:TUS v3 had been taken down, and "MGS:TUS v4 Lite" was in the works.
Apparently "ZONE OF THE ENDERS" and "Download Archive" were both dropped from the title for this version of the site. Also you can really tell how much he lost enthusiasm in AUMAAN at this point. Jesus. Look at it.
A collection of Nitroid's initial design concepts for MGS:TUS v4 from 2008.
Since there's so many unfinished ideas (no offense I swear) or minor changes between them, I went ahead and put them into a single collective screenshot.
