Neofeud

Neofeud is a dystopic cyberpunk adventure game, coming MARCH 25!

Synopsis:
2033 - We create AI. Sentient robots arrive, but not as our Terminator overlords or our Singularity saviors -- conscious machines are humanity's unwanted bastard children. A few are geniuses who design flying cars, beat cancer, invent teleportation, but millions of defective prototypes roll out of factories -- mentally challenged, motivationally-challenged, criminally-inclined. Legally conscious, but unhirable, these "Defectives" are shuffled through public housing and welfare assistance, straining the already overburdened back of the meager social safety net. The robots who don't end up in prison are dumped, as a last resort, into a massive landfill known as "The Pile".

Humans engage in perfection of their species -- or at least the powerful and well-connected -- genetically engineering children with the human and animal DNA. The failed eugenics experiment "Frankenpeople" are discarded into "The Pile" as well. The new dynasties, 'Neofeudal Lords', live in towering neon glass castles, shuttle around in pristine nanotech-enabled pods, minds and bodies full of cyberware, spending most of their time taking selfies and "optimizing their monetization schemes". A race of supermen concerned only with their own status, their prestige, their success. Where machines have become all too flawed and human, people have become flawless, perfect, cold machines.

Karl Carbon is an ex-cop, dishonorably discharged from Coastlandia PD for disobeying an order to shoot an unarmed sentient humanoid. Karl is exiled to "The Pile" as a lowly social worker. There he counsels gangbanging foster-kid robots and confiscates chimera-children from deadbeat half-wolf parents. Till one day a case goes horribly sideways and and Karl is drawn into a sordid conspiracy that could threaten the strained fabric of Human-Robot-Hybrid civilization -- or save it.

FEATURE TIME
Tricky yet satisfying, point-n-click detective work, interspersed with tense action shootouts.
Handpainted, uber-gritty, noir futureland. Makes Mad Max and Rick Deckard crap their pants.
Endless bombardment of witty one-liners from hardboiled cyberpunk.
An original dystopic sci-fi world and story that will (hopefully) make you question some of your core beliefs. Or at least my sanity
From SilverSpook, creator of the Terminus Machina mod for Deus Ex. Check it out.

It's stellar to see that the authors of the two most innovative and influential Deus Ex mods released in 2013 are still making tremendous progress with their gaming projects.

Once again, congrats to SilverSpook for this achievement! 8)

Thanks FGR for the shout out! And thank you Made In China for the future purchase. :) FastGamerr is being modest here but he does some killer robot voice acting in Neofeud as well. :)

If it wasn't for OTP, I would've never gotten Terminus Machina finished, and if that never happened, I would've likely not had the skills and drive to finish my first commercial title with Neofeud. So thanks again, all!

Here's the latest trailer as well, that I just cooked up. I give it 3 1/2 ham sandwiches out of 4. ;)

Neofeud is on Steam Greenlight! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =894789880

We could totally use your votes! Not everyone on Steam apparently likes this weird cyberpunk stuff and there are more "no" than "yes" at the moment :( But we'll show those normals!

NEOFEUD MADE IT TO THE TOP 100 INDIES OF THE YEAR! Thanks everyone for your votes and support! Neofeud can now use your vote again in the final round for ultimate indie of the year on IndieDB!

http://www.indiedb.com/games/neofeud

Here are a few reviews of Neofeud:

"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

Finally, I wish I spoke better Spanish 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 inspires, 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 to 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.
