Thanks guys for the input.  I'm currently in the process of getting Neofeud to Steam, and as it's my first time with this process, this is all hugely helpful info for me.  Greatly appreciated!

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!

Hilarious playthrough of Dysmaton by a Youtuber called "Clown Nebula".  It sounds great with an Italian playing it!  Bravissimo!

EDIT: Accidentally posted the trailer, here's the right video!

"Coworking"

In other news, don't hold me to this, but it looks like I'll be having a chat with AGS veteran and adventure game maker extraordinaire, Fitz next weekend!  Stay tuned!

Yeah I might have to stop following Chicky now that I know he isn't a hot Asian girl.  Jk.

Really cool to see the behind-the-scenes of the animation! And that festival looks like it was a ton of fun! Very jealous!

Strong female characters in cyberpunk!

Deborah Dunaway plays literal royalty, as well as a trans-species kid, a Nazi bureaucrat, and more in Neofeud.

You can follow Deb here: https://twitter.com/bittersweetdb

I actually met Deb for the first time at a meetup with William Gibson in Kitsilano beach, Vancouver. We've been friends ever since, and apart from donating her vocal talents to the game, she's also backed Neofeud through patreon in the three-figure range. So thanks for that, Deb!

Hey AGSers!  If anyone would like to talk about one of their adventure games (a sci-fi / cyberpunk game would be cool, but not necessary!) and/or their art, gamedev process, etc. with Silver Spook in a podcast / video in the near future, please let me know! (post here or message, etc!)  I want to help spread the word about your game, AGS generally, and talk to some cool people (you are all super cool, so don't worry about that!)  I'm hoping to do this sometime this week, although the time is not nailed down.  Let me know!

Wow that guy is super creepy! But fantastic job on the artwork.

Thanks, Frodo .  Anyone else on here use or heard of FireFlower?

"Bae, we can't be pimpin' dis Kimmy-ass shit.  We's only on you-know versal basic income, girl.  Dey gonna 'spect us," Jin said.

"You's one universal basic bitch, is all," Ray-Sa dropped the mic.

Fuckin' whack-ass Macrosoft default headset mic.  Thirty credits, max.  You's jackin' swag from a Techtopia, you gotta go big or go the fuck home, Ray always said. Fo real, shit was headlined on her LifeStream, 'bove the gif of her droppin' her stepmom wit a roundhouse that make Runa Russey blush in her Octagon. 

'Go big or go the fuck home,' --Ray

Ray-Sa stomp that shit plastic microphone to 'fetti.  Snatch the gold-plated 50-billion-karat diamond mic, huge disco-ball-size icy. Like that Egypt-Queen head-thingy from D-Va's music videos.  Something a baller boy might buy you, if boys planetside weren't all scrub garbage nowdays. 

Jin make a bitch face at Ray, check her nano-watch like that rabbit mutherfucker from that Alice in Happyland VR shit.  "You cray-cray, bitch.  We gotta bounce, like yesterday, hoe."

Ray not listenin', "Aw hellz yeah.  I'mma own the 'tubes wit dis fuckin' mic.  Queen of the Livestream," Ray hold the shit up like a trophy, smile glintin' gold with black holes where the teeth gone.

Just getting a fuckin' ticket outta Low-Zone they had to mob some stupid rich ghetto-tourist for the high-status card.  Jin had a MD, fuckin brain surgeon training even, but the robodocs put her out on the street.  Malpractice for a human to even touch someone with a scalpel.  So Jin mostly turned tricks. Ray didn't like it when Jin got fucked by someone other than herself, so Ray did fights for the VR when she could.  Ray was a pitbull.  She could take a wailing -- learned that by getting beat to shit nightly by a drunk-ass dad, after auto-trucks took his haulin' job.  Problem was everyone had a cam and was gladiating nowdays, and only rich hoes with billionaire parents and network pull could make any bank from broadcasts. 

But one day, they'd know.  They'd all fuckin' know. 

Ray was a queen; the galaxy just di'n't know it yet.

Neither did the 5-0.

"Fuck!" Ray yelled. The flyin' po-po sirens holla back up the mall, white Manikins in pearl-Gussacci flickerin'.  Red-blue, red-blue, red-blue.

"I told you! I so told yo dumbass!" Jin smack Ray' buff arm.  Don't hurt but Ray turn around pissed.

"YOU suppose to have that CCTVs and silent triggers all hacked and shit!" Ray yell back.  Sirens get louder.

"I's did my job, bitch!  The cams be down, I jailbreak all'em DRM tags on the swag," Jin fuming, holo-glasses steaming up, "You and your dramas! Makin' a scene when we supposed to be on the DL-"

"Whatev's, let's bail," Ray wrap the Goldiva Mic cord round her shoulder, sling the disco-ball on her back, and they break for the exit.  Judgey rich hoes wit bot-manservants lift they snob-noses at Ray and Jin's ghetto threads.  Ray clotheslines them on the way out.  Leave a tumbling pile of screaming and stilettos and handbags.  Trophy bitches.

Ray-Sa and Jin already got a few-k of merch stuffed in they shitty All-Mart purses, they set, if they can get out, move it on the dark-net.

"Freeze!" The robocops come raining out the flying cop car, hit the ground running.  Mall peepz all diving out of the way, shouting. 

Ray and Jin click they heels together like Dorothy, metal stilt-springs pop out the soles, and they stridin' fast as hovercycles, leaping over fat fuckin' khaki tourist family chompin cinnabon and splash through quartz fountains, disappear through Nikeebok holo-ads. 

Fuckin' robocops is fast though and Jin get her ass cooked by a microwave gun.  She shriek and fall down the escalator.

"Fuck!  Jin!" Ray slide down the rail fast as she can.  Jin on the ground, knee lookin' like it split.  Head all fucked up like she lost a scrap, bloody face, river out the nose.

"Come on, get up!" Ray try to help Jin up, but she just scream and the leg sound like rotten tree branch.

"You... ratchet-ass bitch.  Everything a fuckin' reality-show to you, huh?" Jin spat some tear-juice in Ray face, and wince some more.  "Go.  You get out.  I'll catch you flip side," Jin say, lying back down.

"Fuck that.  I'm the queen.  Undefeated.  Fuck these robocops," Ray say, clicking her knuckles together.  Shit start glowing red with that powerglove mojo. 

Ray decapitate one po-po's head clean off with one uppercut; wires and circuits glittering like diamonds into a Sharper Image.  Everything goes slo-mo, the screaming mall-patrons is stadium applause.  Ray' heartbeat is pulsing techno-victory-anthem.  The cold feeling on her waist is the big-ass belt, 'Queen Ray!  Heavyweight champion of the galaxy!'.

The cold feeling spread, becomes pain.  The million-volts to the back make Ray spasm till everything is full of grey numb unconscious. 

Last thing Ray see is Jin' resting-bitch-face.

I love Leo gifs! XD 

Anyway, here you guy, horusr, you're on the Dysmaton site!

Alright, I think horusr has won the secret thingy hunt!

Thanks everyone for playing, you all did a great job. Now I can finally stop procrastinating development! (Damnit!)

Just so everyone knows what's going on: the first to find and name all the Easter Eggs in the pic above gets a shout out on the Dysmaton site, plus a copy of the Neofeud Short Story Collection.

And here's a higher res pic: http://i.imgur.com/iuTKXtq.jpg

I think there's just one more Easter Egg to find!

It was from the 1980's, but "Winners Don't Use Drugs" wasn't about stopping piracy, but drugs.

Cool news! Good to see you back around these parts.   Title always makes me laugh. >D

Looks awesome man! I need to get some cool liquid reflections for my game.

Thanks Tycho.

Alright, since it seems it's a bit trickier than I first thought, here's the full-resolution version of this scene.  In addition to getting a kudos on the Dysmaton site, if you get all the Easter Eggs, I'll give you a copy of the Neofeud Short Story Collection.

EDIT oops!  Forgot the full res image.  Here it is: http://i.imgur.com/iuTKXtq.jpg

@Hobo: Thanks! Took a while to work, and not quite finished yet.

Hm, there's still technically two Easter Eggs missing. You guys can do it, I believe in you!
