An empire arrives on your planet to eradicate and plunder. Heal the land and people, prevent erasure of your native language and culture, and confront the invaders before it is too late!





SYNOPSIS:

For aeons, the Whenu Ora people lived in peace on their planet, in harmony with nature, and each other.

Hunter-gatherers sprouted into villages. Villages begot cities - yet millennia passed without war.

Over time, the Whenu Ora built great civilizations, while maintaining the Garden of Yiden - the mother homeworld which birthed them.

They blossomed up toward the stars, sailed Hoku Wa'a - starships - across the Galactic Silk Road, trading with other peoples.

Now, an Empire arrives, to eradicate and plunder. The Mother homeworld desecrated, the relatives broken, the water of life poisoned.

Khailatu, a Peace Officer of the Cosmic Tree, must heal the land and people, prevent colonial erasure of language and culture, and confront the Invaders before all is lost.

Hi, I'm having a weird problem where suddenly I can't see any of the loops in a view past Loop 279? It seems to have just started where I can create new loops, and I can see the new loops' animations, (like 281, 290, etc) but once I close AGS and re-open, all loops past 279 are invisible again. Any idea what might cause this?

"Creating new homeworlds always means a lot of trial and error. Our world... well, this one's an error."

This game was made in about a month and is a dystopic sci-fi adventure game.

I've already got achievements implemented in Steam, and I'm looking into getting these working in GOG.

Based on the instructions from this thread, it seems like you need to do some work in C++ to get GOG achievements working: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=52432.msg636528308#msg636528308

Is there a way to get the achievements working with GOG Galaxy just from within AGS scripts or will I need Visual Studio or something else?  Thanks!

I ask cause I haven't personally done it much, but I hear that Steam trading cards are fairly popular, and I was considering adding them to my game (Neofeud) Steam options.

Thanks for your input!

I'm trying to make news articles viewable on an in-game phone, which has text lengths in the thousands of characters.
What's the best way to get those strings into the game? I know the max length of lines is 500 chars so I'm guessing appending it that way.

Ideally I'm also trying to get the text to scroll smoothly like in an actual smartphone. I was just considering rendering the entire news article text as an image to do that.

Hi, I had someone recently playing Neofeud encounter an error I've never seen before, was wondering if anyone might have any insight into what's going on?

I got fried by the electricity meter for tampering with it then got an error msg "AGS save game error" or something similar. My character reapeared on the screen and i went down a floor went back up, automatically got fried again without touching anything then got an error msg and the game crashed. When I reopened the game my 3 save games were gone and I have to start again.

I been pplaying a bit today. Been saving along the way. Now everytime i try to load a save it says "not an ags save game" and the actual save is called " invalid ags save 7" even though i only labelled it 7. if i try to load it again the game shuts down and i get a window with ags save game error contact ags developer. Or something close to anyway.

Hi, I recently had a player ask if there's a way to get their AGS game (Neofeud) to show up as what they're currently playing, in their Discord server. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what would need to be done to make that work? I believe they are playing a stand-alone exe rather than the Steam version if that makes a difference. Thanks!

So I have someone running a version of Neofeud for Mac wrapped in Wineskin and they've been getting this error:



"I'm running on a 2011 MacBook Pro with High Sierra, with AMD 6750M graphics. The error pops up right when I attempt to start the game.

I tried changing video driver & resolution in the winsetup.exe program included. In Wineskin settings, too, tried forcing the use of XQuartz or Mac driver. Always get the same error. After the one I took a screenshot of, there's another window with more information:"



The game worked for a few other folks with Mac. Not exactly sure what is causing this error on this guy's comp. Any ideas?

Are there many folks who play point and click adventure games who use Macs? Do any of you personally use Macs?

I'm of course on a PC and only have access to Windows but I'd be interested to know if there's a significant percentage of Mac users, or if it's very few to none. Thanks!

Hi guys, I've been having a lot of testers report issues with fullscreen mode in 1080p and higher resolution monitors and I was wondering if this was common or if there is some way to fix this?  Here's a couple of the reports:

Also as I am running a dual monitor setup for whatever reason Allegro decided to change the resolution of both monitors to 1600x1200 and display the game on them both. On one monitor which is a 4k display it was severely cut off, so I think there might be some display related issues. If there was a way to easily run it in window mode that would be helpful, as I didn't see an option in my brief look on the settings. It also didn't try scaling up the 1366x768 so it was in a little window on my 1080p monitor. For reference I am running an AMD Fury under the latest open source drivers. Here is the log output for that run: https://pastebin.com/Bz6GSKD3 . Another thing to note is that upon quitting the game it didn't reset the desktop resolution to what it was set to before, so had to manually reset my monitor positions and sizes.

Using 1080p I lose 1/4th of my screen (on horizontal and vertical). I really hope this wasn't intentional, because I really dislike even games that don't have full proper scaling (maximizable window, borderless fullscreen, etc)... not even supporting 1080p (which--according to steam survey--is on half of all single-monitor computers... and 33% of multi-monitor computers) is even worse.

Alt-tab and alt-f4 don't work which is another annoyance.

My game Neofeud is in 1366 x 768 for reference.

I'm trying to distribute my game and make sure that players have the game running with certain default settings, for example, windowed mode on.

I have AGS Build 3.4.0.15 and I see that the ACSETUP.CFG file that my game is using appears to be the one in USER/SAVEDGAMES/GAME/ folder, not the compiled folder.

I read in another thread that you can get around this by putting the correct ACSETUP.CFG file in your game compiled folder with the game .exe file.

Will the game actually use this ACSETUP.CFG file when downloaded? Because I tried deleting the ACSETUP.CFG file from my USER/SAVEDGAMES/GAME/ folder and then running my game, and it didn't seem to use the settings from the ACSETUP.CFG in the compiled folder.  It just created a brand new blank ACSETUP.CFG file in the USER/SAVEDGAMES/GAME/ folder.

I've had my game (Neofeud) greenlit and I'm currently trying to add achievements using the agsteam.dll tool, but I'm having some trouble figuring out exactly what I need to do to implement the achievement in AGS.  I have added a test achievement to the game on Steamworks, but I'm having trouble figuring out what code I need to add into the AGS game files to make the achievements work.  Is there some documentation for agsteam.dll that I missed, perhaps?

Thanks

What do you guys think of Steam achievements, in particular, with point-and-click adventure games?  Do you like them?  Are there certain sorts of achievements that work well in these types of games?  Are they pretty important or could you take them or leave them?

Likewise for Steam trading cards.

Thanks!

Has anyone here used or distributed their games through FireFlower Games?

Just curious, as I'm considering them as a potential distribution service for Neofeud.  Thanks for any input!

Hi, is there a way to get an array of all of the objects in a room?  I know for characters you can use 'character[]' but I was wondering if there's a way to get all of the objects to perform a function on them, one by one.

Hi guys, so I looked at some old embedded videos that I put in my game thread (Neofeud) and the embedding seems to have stopped working.  Is there a new way to put videos in threads now?

Silver Spook Games Presents



A coup d'etat against the posthuman, immortal Neofeudal Royalty has resulted in a tentative return to a long-forgotten world of "Democratic Republics", "Equality, Liberty, Fraternity", and "Rule of Law".

But the ultrarich do not go quietly as workplaces are co-operatized, fighting the redistribution of their quadrillions, even with the threat of the guillotine. Riots, shootings are on the rise as inter-species tensions increase between humans and the humanoid machines, transgenics, non-corporeals entering their communities.

An ex-con robot from the slumsprawl ghetto and the radical socialist daughter of a billionaire wind up unwilling partners in the Coastlandia Police Department. Called in to investigate a routine self-flying aircar crash, they uncover a spiraling conspiracy involving far-right "Humanity First" groups, sentient machine neo-revolutionaries, and diehard remnants of hypercapitalistic Monarchies that will shake the social and cosmological fabric of the universe(s)...
