Warren Spector retiring from games is a real 'system shock', feels like gravity vanishing. His challenge, "Your job is to make people forget people like me ever existed," is accepted, but it will be hard as a Realistic difficulty Deus Ex run with no augmentations and only swimming skills. #gamedev
The first Silver Spook game was my Deus Ex total conversion Terminus Machina. Homeless hacktivist dodges robot cops & drone-strikes in downtown San Fran amidst financial collapse & 90% AI-driven unemployment, tries to grow food & jailbreak prison-slaves into a resistance.
Blown away by Deus Ex at an impressionable 17, I spent the next two decades aspiring to make a game that even approached its quality. Don't know if I succeeded with Terminus, Neofeud or Neofeud 2, but I might not have started without Warren Spector games. Thanks for helping me 'question everything'!
