In this latest stream, I add some new scenes to Neofeud 2 to AGS, with special guests Future Vintage Gaming and my friend Aaron Victoria!

Neofeud is 50% off on Steam this week! Also, if you could leave a review on Steam, even just a short one, I would really appreciate it! Neofeud's still only got a handful of reviews on Steam and could really use some more, thanks!

For Valentines Day here's what Neofeud might look like as a @SukebanGames  VA-11 HALL-A style cyberpunk bartending game. Who should get together in Neofeud 2? Happy waifu shipping! (Plus Neofeud is on Sale on Itch.io ) https://silverspook.itch.io/neofeud

Nice job man! Hope the sales are still moving.

In this episode, I talk art process, show some of the latest material on Neofeud 2, talk about the podcasts and feature some music by Primordia's James Spanos, Dimi Kaye, and my friend Scott Smigiel!

The Silver Spook Podcast has also been featured on the front page of Exilian, an awesome democratically-run online community! https://exilian.co.uk/index.php

Great podcast, and thanks for the shoutout! I'm glad my little podcast time-saving trick was of some assistance.

On the testing subject, I did have a hard time getting the level of feedback I needed to get Neofeud polished up in time for release, just using volunteers. I ended up finding one particularly good professional tester who was also a fan of point-and-clicks as well as my game. I ended up just paying a bit up front and a small revenue share, but in the end, it was totally worth it as he crushed countless bugs with literally almost a hundred pages of extremely detailed reports. Platform-port / Windows Update related bugs aside, I can still count on one or maybe two hands the number of bugs that have reported by players since. They are very few and far between, and saved me a lot of potential negative Steam reviews due to major-showstopping issues on launch. So if you're an indie short on budget, I'd recommend getting at least one pro, or very proficient tester, especially one who specializes in point-and-click or adventure games, especially if you're worried if your game hasn't had enough testing and there might be some time-bombs hidden in there.

Anyway, my two cents!

Looking forward to Lamplight City and Unavowed!

Oh, oops! 11 AM. Most people who stop in usually know the time, but yes, 11 AM.

Come one come all! Livestreaming this from my Youtube channel tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/user/twiliteminotaur

Thanks everyone!

SilverSpook did a great video this morning of him playing the game, and I was around to help (or not, possibly) since I'm at home sick.  Which just goes to show, every cloud has a silverspook lining.  Or something.

Good times! I think I'll have to play more point and clicks on the stream. It's nice to have a crowdsourced hint system when you get stuck   Great work on this game, lots of fun and more funny cheese-filling than a seven-layer cheese-only burrito.

Neofeud, a cyberpunk adventure and one of the Top 100 indie games of 2017 on IndieDB is now available on the Mac! https://t.co/OB43kAchAE

If you've been thinking about picking up Neofeud, just a reminder that the Steam sale ends tomorrow!

Congratulations on getting this out at last! Here's hoping you make a million in the first 48 hours and can retire to Hawaii.

[*1.3 million subscribers*]

Funhaus, a Youtube comedy channel with over *1.3 million subscribers* just did a short play / comedy video with Neofeud! The video has only been out a few days and it's got over 190,000 views! It's mostly just sillyness, but as a one-guy team with zero budget this is a huge Christmas present, especially considering a bunch of those 190,000 viewers commented "This looks awesome!", "I just bought Neofeud" or "Why haven't I heard of this before!?" so thanks for that, Sir Lawrence!

Happy Cyberpunk Holidays! May your dystopian reality be slightly less grim for the next few weeks.

Thanks everybody who voted for Neofeud in IndieDB! Neofeud made it to the Top 100 Indie Games Of 2017 (Apparently out of over 10,000). We'll see if we beat Cuphead! (Not likely but one can hope!

Thanks MJL! It would be great if Neofeud comes out on top. I wouldn't bet the house on beating the likes of Cuphead and _Observer, but to be in the final 100 rankings against a game voice acted by Rutger Hauer is a real honor.

You got vote from like every device i got in home:).

Thanks CyberUncleCat for going the extra mile!

In addition, I'm also honored to have The Space Quest Historian doing a let's play series of Neofeud!

It's a great video series so far, very entertaining.

Finally, here are a couple more reviews recently published on Neofeud:

This first one is in Spanish (sorry) and I wish I was fluent so I could read this great Neofeud review in its native language, but thankfully there is Google translate!

"A much more complex world than what is shown in Blade Runner, which inspired it, and this game also poses itself as a more in-depth and realistic reflection of the dilemma insinuated by the replicants."

"From the point of view of music and dubbing Neofeud has nothing to envy of major titles."

The reviewer also compared Neofeud with Neil Blomkamp and District 9, which is a high complement for me, since I consider D-9 as one of if not the greatest sci-fi film of the past few decades.

And one more review from Save Or Quit:

"Neofeud is a carefully crafted story that plays out like an interactive detective/mystery movie from the 80's... This is a game for players who like to enjoy a good science fiction story set in a world that feels familiar and possible in the near future."

And finally, my Deus Ex 1 total conversion Terminus Machina has been featured on IndieDB's sister site, ModDB! Thanks for the highlight, guys! You can also see a video of me replaying this mod that I made about 7 years ago with developer commentary.

Yes of course, we will have to defeat the Visionaire Studio wanna-bes as well.

Oh, and here's another review of Neofeud by Save Or Quit!

This game really surprised me in a positive way. All the small puns here and there contributed a lot to my overall enjoyment. I never tired of all the little fun things that popped up every once in a while. Even though the puzzles are mostly really simple and small, the atmosphere and easter eggs make up for them. This isn't a game for hardcore point ‘n' click puzzle fanatics, but this is a game for players who like to enjoy a good science fiction story set in a world that feels familiar and possible in the near future... It is a worthy addition to your steam account if you want a quality, fun story to play through.

Hey guys, it's that time of the year! Help represent AGS on IndieDB and vote for Neofeud. Don't let those Unity, Godot, and Adventure Maker posers steal AGS's rightful throne as best point-and-click adventure engine! 

Please vote for Neofeud for IndieDB game of the year!

Just made this new Neofeud cover art for Itch.io (where Neofeud is on sale, by the way!). Let me know what you guys think!

EDIT: If you've been thinking about it, Neofeud is 33% off this week on Steam!



I will also be streaming live on Thanksgiving at 2PM Eastern Time! Join in! https://www.youtube.com/user/twiliteminotaur

Greetings cyberspatials!

I'm happy to announce that I'm currently in the process of fleshing out the world, characters, and story of:



Here's a brief excerpt: "Queen Sybil The Good, First Comrade of The Egalite Cooperative, Breaker of Chains, Neofeudal's Bane, Mistress of The Multiverse" #amwriting

Secondly, I am currently attempting to get Neofeud ported to Mac!



If anyone has interest in a Mac version of Neofeud, please let me know as I'd like to gauge the interest in a Mac port before I commit too many resources there. If you have a bit of time and the right hardware to test a Mac port, also let me know, thanks.
