Neofeud Steam Cards Now Available + Neofeud 2 Trailer & more!Nov 10, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHere's a teaser trailer for Neofeud 2, which I'm still working as fast as transhumanly possible on! :) The majority of the backgrounds are completed at this point and a good portion of the character designs. I've been focusing more on fleshing out the story / plot of the game itself of late. And at long last, Neofeud Steam trading cards are now available! Go from Nano-Augmented Hobo to Cyborg Wage Slave to Neofeudal Monarch-CEO and finally Six Billion Dollar Baller! :D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30434709/b1f86db680df0dfeafc5475ad24f50e96c6e155c.png In addition, I'm currently experimenting with creating a Neofeud card game using the art I've spent years painting. Maybe something in the vein of indie cyberpunk card game 'System Crash', which I really liked and am still playing during downtime. https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/Neofeud/ Finally, Neofeud is on sale again for the next week! :) As mentioned previously currently funding development of Neofeud 2 (basically covering my family's bills) with revenue from Neofeud 1, so every sale supports completion of the sequel, along with the other Silver Spook projects! If you had a chance to play Neofeud and have a minute to leave a review, even just a couple sentences, I would greatly appreciate it!Neofeud in "Top 25 Cyberpunk Games" + Neofeud 2 updateMar 31, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/d527d78123c55f1f7118794453a48b26e1eecb31.jpg Woohoo, Neofeud was included in the Top 25 Cyberpunk Games list by GamersDecide! (Up there with Deus Ex, what an honor!) Next up, here are some previews from Neofeud 2, which I am currently hard at work on. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/ba27c7b98e152b763afb3abf8be7cde71ff33fe3.png I am, at least for now, developing this sequel to NF1 as a solo-developer - doing the art, writing, programming etc. - as with the first game. I am planning to bring folks on toward the end, however, particularly for voice acting of the many characters. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/bc331998a3036df2795b524ddfbd6f96f55b238b.gif https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/c167bf869131330e69bd813789ded436f3533d47.gif (A higher-res video of the above scene) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/9624bc4a29190a17a9dd3fdc7f2c87fa19a43251.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/b987321bb70c9415c24cbb3b814f5f1300f13860.png (Video of the above scene) Also, if you were thinking about picking it up, Neofeud is on sale for the next week! :) I'm currently funding development of Neofeud 2 (basically paying my rent, food, etc.) with revenue from Neofeud 1, so every sale supports completion of the sequel!

Huge thanks, Bill. Podcast will be coming here: https://www.youtube.com/user/twiliteminotaur In celebration, Neofeud is on sale this week! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/18881f9e75cf977ba12d99392964a2e42297c710.jpg Or if you prefer hallucinating to marks etched on paper or electrons, my Neofeud Short Story Collection is also up here: https://silverspook.itch.io/neofeudstory https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/e2e2f43d9f181aaedf1b53e5216f95b0dec57daf.jpg Yes, the next Silver Spook podcast will feature my conversation with William Gibson..... WHAT!?!? The fact that I got Gibson on the podcast at all is utter mindfuckery for me, and the reality has yet to sink in. I pretty much can't top this interview for potential guests in the cyberpunk pantheon. Also, I believe I may have the only recording of Gibson saying, "Mother fucker", and with full 70's-Ramones-punk attitude. :) Neofeud 2 Updates + Silver Spook Live At The AGS Awards This Saturday!Mar 20, 2018 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/1ebcc8807c289ad1ee6fcbc2b3241b3f38cddc38.png My latest art from Neofeud 2: Novus Ordo Seclorum, currently in progress!

As such, I will be livestreaming the AGS awards this Saturday March 24th at 20:00 CET from my Youtube channel with live commentary. The ceremony itself, which is a streamed event from an AGS-based client, will have characters from Neofeud present in the virtual "audience" and will also feature music from the Neofeud soundtrack. I hear the voting was extremely close, so it's anybody's competition! :) Finally, here are the most recent Silver Spook Podcasts. In the first I interview Joshua Nuernberger, creator Gemini Rue, the best-selling Wadjet Eye Game of all time, and winner of numerous awards including PC Gamer Game Of The Year (adventure). Gemini Rue is also an amazing dark sci-fi/neo-noir adventure game and among my favorites. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/c48ff97c1e09a583323e708b5f7a653a54c6b753.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vidPOF-JEM8&t=1216s And here I speak with long-time friend of the adventure gaming community and de-facto virtual "town crier" for the Space Quest franchise, The Space Quest Historian: http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30434709/426428066cb76f0682225da9b3d2735ca03dbad3.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vidPOF-JEM8&t=1216s We discuss the history and present of adventure games, the relationship between Youtubers/Streamers and game creators, as well as the Space Quest Historian's thoughts on Neofeud after playing it.

Finally, check out Steam Shovellers, a great game journalism site that does an excellent job spotting the hidden gems in the massive number of Steam releases. :) Steam Shovellers will be playing Neofeud on Twitch on New Years Eve afternoon, Eastern Time, and I will probably drop in for a bit, so go hang out!

"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. https://nerdando.com/2017/12/04/neofeud-unavventura-cyberpunk-profonda-e-retro/ 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." http://saveorquit.com/2017/12/03/review-neofeud/ NEOFEUD IS A TOP 100 FINALIST!

If you liked Neofeud, please consider voting for it for 2017 "Indie of the Year" on IndieDB! https://i.imgur.com/N53zrnv.jpg Here is some more background on myself and the game: "The art, writing, programming and music* of Neofeud was created by one person, Christian Kealoha Miller, also known as 'Silver Spook'. He also performed half of the voice acting. Christian is a Native Hawaiian, born and raised in Hawaii. Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals. The art, stories and gameplay of Neofeud are a reflection of my experiences as a STEM teacher for the underserved youth of Honolulu’s inner city. Teaching robotics, programming, and sustainability is an often difficult, stressful, and even Kafka-esque endeavor -- being in one of the richest, most beautiful places on Earth, yet dealing with families with working parents, who are living out of a van, or sleeping on the street. It is hard trying to keep the kids out of gangs, off of drugs, and on a path towards better opportunities, such as the ones I had growing up in a slum area of paradise while going to an upscale private school. I made Neofeud to be a fun and engaging game in and of itself, but I also wanted the player to think about the society in which we live, as well as the one which we may be heading toward if nothing is done." Here's a roundup of some of the articles this year on Neofeud: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DL-c5-lVQAAnjVh.jpg Read the rest of this article from Native Hawaiian Print Pubication, the Ka Wai Ola. "A Diamond Of Storytelling In The Scrap Pile... The characters of Neofeud are developed so much more than characters in nearly any other game I’ve recently played" --Sprites And Dice "'Cyberpunk-Fueled Noir.' Reminiscent of Beneath a Steel Sky and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream... The art, gameplay, music and story come together to deliver a solid game." --Indie Ranger “An ambitious, atmospheric cyberpunk scenario and essentially the work of a single person (voice acting excluded). Oh, and it might also be one of the best adventure games I have played in a while... The world building is something else. It has a thickness, a density to it." --IndieGames.com "This spectacular and complex story will take at least 12 hours to play through, and the writing is excellent and enjoyable." --3rd Strike "Science fiction at its most raw and visceral... Neofeud doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable subject matter. It gave me chills and made my stomach roll... It made me uncomfortable to listen to and watch…but that is the entire point. I can’t turn a blind eye in the game, and I certainly can’t turn a blind eye in real life." --Steamshovelers "An immersive cyberpunk adventure game... Echoes of H.R. Giger and William Gibson... knows what makes a quality game." --Brandon C.
