NEO Scavenger Is Officially Launched!

Hey Folks!

NEO Scavenger has officially launched! After almost four years of development, nearly three of which were in Beta/Early Access, it's finally time for the big v1.0!

NEO Scavenger is my first commercially released game, and is a sort of love letter to the pen and paper role-playing games I grew up playing. In it, the player takes on the role of a character who wakes up in a strange facility where the world has experienced some cataclysm. Using their wits and anything they can scavenge from their surroundings, they explore this strange wasteland, piecing together clues about their past.

It's a hard game, where the player must take care to think of everything from dressing appropriately to disinfecting wounds. The story will not come spoon-fed to you, and the game will not hold your hand. But for those who are persistent and clever, rewards and answers await!

NEO Scavenger is available at many of your favorite online retailers, including:

  • Blue Bottle Games Official Site
  • GOG
  • Indie Ammo Box
  • Desura
  • CoinPlay
  • Indie Game Stand
  • Steam
  • Shiny Loot

HUGE Thank You to the NEO Scavenger Community

I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who has helped me over the past several years. From friends and family to helpful community members, I've always had support and encouragement all around me. Plus, many of you have been providing excellent feedback and suggestions over the years to help make NEO Scavenger what it is today. If you fire up the game, do check out the "Credits" page to see many of the talented individuals who made this all possible.

Thank you!

What Are My Plans for Support, and What's Next?

I answer these and several other questions regarding future plans in more detail here. The short version is that I'll be focusing more on bug fixes and better modding support after launch, as well as looking into potential new projects. And, of course, probably a vacation :)

So please head on over to your website of choice and take a look! There's a free demo if you haven't tried it, to help you decide if it's right for you. And for those who were just waiting for the beta to end, it's finally time!
