Everyone should immediately go out and buy Shaun's awesome game. It was already super cheap, and worth 5x what you'll pay when it's on sale. (And I've said so more seriously in a Steam review, I mean it!)

Neofeud is now 50% on Steam!

Thanks everyone who has already bought and played Neofeud! If you liked the game and have a moment to leave a review, even a sentence or two, I would really appreciate it!

Is that Proto-J from the first Neofeud down in the lower right corner?

Very nice catch, mkennedy!

@Selmiak: Thanks for the suggestion, I see what you mean about the bus' position, will see about modifying the water level or bus level. The scene itself isn't quite final at any rate and I'll be adding and changing things a bit more before it's shipped.

@Blondbraid & Cassie: Thanks!

Thanks Cassie.   Here is another one!



Hand painting all of this for Neofeud 2 takes ages, but I'm always happy with the surreal/impressionistic effect. Trying to go for more something more consistent and readable, but still hallucinatory. Also, yes there may be a bit of a Monkey Island vibe going on here. I'm from an actual tropical island so I have all the reference in the world.

(Here's the still version)

Folks who hung around the AGS Fortnightly Writing Competition may remember this story.

Thanks Stupot! Yeah, they actually were distinct games at one point, but as of now they are the same game. It's better this way.

Here's the latest stream with a special shoutout for AGS's own Sick Chicken Studios upcoming epic p-n-c Guard Duty. Wishlist it now!

My William Gibson Interview, Living Near Active Volcano, And More! We now return to your regularly scheduled program

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhkoIwKs5PA

William Gibson on the Silver Spook Podcast!

An illuminating deep-dive into "cyberpunk" and the atemporal torch-passing of subversive sci-fi mindfuckery from British New Wave to CP to Black Mirror and Ned Beauman.

Topics include:
-cyberpunk as co-optable movement vs subversive tendency
-misfit matchmaking on the WGB
-Ray Bradbury in sleeveless jean jackets
-the evolution of the semiotics and culture of cyberpunk
-techno-shintoism and Buddhist robotic dog burials
-the inside-scoop on Johnny Mnemonic
-and more, from the master himself!

(Also, my cyberpunk adventure Neofeud is on sale for just 5 more days! https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/Neofeud/ )

@Hobo: Sorry about that! I told some folks I was gonna get it up Wednesday but I ran into some tough video editing issues (I had 3 cameras and usually just do audio so there were lot of kinks to work out.)

But here it is!

My interview with William Gibson, edit-in-progress! Cyberpunk as co-optable movement vs subversive tendency, misfit matchmaking, Neofeud, Ray Bradbury in sleeveless jean jackets and more, from the master himself.

Going to be streaming in the next couple days once the jet lag wears off and posting my interview  with William Gibson, godfather of cyberpunk.

Oh and also Neofeud is on sale for one more week! (My bad got the dates wrong )

Been taking a short break from working on Neofeud 2, but for a good cause!

I just interviewed William Gibson. The future is unevenly distributed, but the author of Neuromancer et al. has graciously fenced some atemporal sci-fi-continuum to Silver Spook.



Podcast coming here: https://www.youtube.com/user/twiliteminotaur

Look at how far you've gotten with your podcast! From chatting with the little ol' me to interviewing to your idol! In under 20 episodes! The big question now is: who do you interview NOW?! Hm... Rutger Hauer? Keanu Reeves? The digitized consciousness of Stephen Hawking?

I was joking with a friend of mine, "So now that you've interviewed William Gibson, how do you top that as cyberpunk podcasts go?"

I was like, "Maybe I could interview Keanu Reeves, and we do the entire interview both in Matrix-shades (I have my pinhole glasses version)."

He was like, "No man, even that is not as epic. You cannot get more legendary than the Gibson interview."

"Well, I guess I can interview God, or like, the digital H+ superintelligence post-singularity God-Machine, or the gestalt of Wintermute and Neuromancer."

"Yeah, sorry man. You've reached your peak."



I am going to look into Keanu though. I actually do know someone who knows him, and we are both Hawaiian.

Thanks Fitz.

Well, you know how I mentioned that I met my wife and William Gibson at the same time in the podcasts? It has to do with that. To be honest, I am kind of surprised that he found an interview with me to be worth his time, given that there are just a handful of video interviews with him out there, but to speculate on what makes me special would probably be a public act of narcissism on my part. Needless to say, I am honored.

To be honest, I think that Bill is just a very nice and chill guy. Probably helps that he likes weirdness, and I think I have a good amount of that.
