Yes indeed, this game is under very early developement stages.
There are no guarantees.

The info on Broken Sword can be found at this URL.
http://bswordproject.cjb.net/


This game looks to be another fresh idea!
Speculated to be a neo release (MVS)
The developers details I will keep confidential at this point not to ruin any business decisions as of now.
This game may or may not materialize at this point but the earlier the announcement the better.
I am the first to bring this annoucement public, and if the magic-box gets ahold of it, it must credit the source.
Which is copyrighted.
Please do not ask me for contacts because they simply cannot be given to any party at this time,
Thanks
LWK

Keep in mind this game is in extremely early stages, so graphics are preliminary.

It uses rendered 3-D backgrounds, and is and action adventure title.
From early point it is said to be static 3D since the neo is incapable of polygon based 3D.
Looks to be a great addition to the neo.

No offense but that just looks like some images someone made in illustrator.

It doesn't look like anything more to me than a homebrew game, if thats what it even is.

So I don't see how this will be an addition to the neo, since it's not like SNK is accually going to release this game.

It's not the first homebrew neo title that was ever made.

I don't know what to think. Whether this Broken Sword Project is home-brewed or not really isn't the question here. I have seen official SNK releases that have looked far more worse than most home-brew projects combind(can we say Fight Fever?). I'll wait with baited breath on this one....

Yeah I know what you two are saying, the neo in general is and extremely cult system with a cult following very few even know what the heck a neo is.

Just another addition, who knows yet. Its so damn early.

What are you trying to pull, NeoLord, I thought Neo-Media Publication was the name of your company that you used for publishing your magazine?

Well for one thats the way to do it, since it is/was speculated.
Who knows you may have personally ruined any business agreemnent that could have ever been.
I am saddened that you can be this selfish in this situation and turn a good news thread into allegations, yet you blamed me in the past for doing this kind of stuff.


I thought people would be happy with this project, thanks to bio its now another "hes hiding this and that thread".
You know what since you are indeed so interested in making others look bad why not take me down with the ship as well.
Yeah I have tried with you. I have tried multiple times.
So if it is indeed Mike then so what???
He not one time stated "I have nothing to do with this project" or words as such.
Now your going to make it look like I am some fucking pawn in this now grounded "flame game"
Whats the fucking point, why announce the issuing of a game when people go out of there way to destroy something positive.
I have no influence on NL and he has no influence on me, we are friends if thats ok, No I am not the guy bringing him cakes with chizels buried in them.
I am now getting defensive due to ICQ's and peoples constant crap.
I will be nobody's friend if there is this much suspicion it simply put is not worth it.
The reason the scene is getting depressing is because of people's constant paranoia.
Bio, I dont know if you checked lately, but at NL's boards I mod there and represent them, but if people see me in "lackey fashion" I will drop the position.
Now you tell me this, if you had a company agreement would you want it put out in the public eye?
I sure as hell would not, this topic was completely voluntary to begin with, it has now degraded into your average paranoia thread. I know this because it got me on the paranoid side with reading these responses. What a negative outlook, "he lives for his enemies" Funny.

And if NL was playing dumb or so? Did he lie directly to you? He never stated he had nothing to do with it.

I regret ever posting this damn thread in the first place, I thought you guys would be interested but I see there is some vendetta against certain parties who hold grudges.
This is my personal opinion, and because I do not delete without just cause, this thread will stay up.
Damnit Bio if winning these petty arguements is so important you can have it.
If you feel this was dishnoest on Mike's part then maybe he can explain it himself. I dont speak for Mike. Mike I consider a trustable person who is a good friend of whom I frequently speak to through ICQ, he has brought some good stuff to this scene, but it seems the second opinion towards him is negative.

I shine nobody's shoes, and in this situation I am going solo.
I tried, I died, I am dead. the fucking end.

I have to agree with Biomotor on this. Why were you trying to be so secret about the whole issue when the info for it was on the bottom of the page? <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">

That makes no sense at all. It's like you are offering a present which is all wrapped up but, then you walk into the next room and see what the package was before it was put into the present. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Better be careful if you support things you may get caught in a "paranoia paradox"
Its best to have no friends, that way people are not constantly suspicious of you, its the neo way.

Oh look at me I am a neo fan I have to represent morale and be perfect in every damn way humanly imaginable.
Not to forget if I so much as not reveal business info and how many times I have had sex in the last week, people will label me a game player.
I honestly feel dirty at this point.
Like I made some terrible decision by just giving a little info on game that I THOUGHT might interest you guys.
I apoligize for the 123,563 time. (before someone questions that number 123,563 its and example and a purposely made over exageration)
I am sorry I am not perfect.
I am sorry I did not meet the neo "standerd".
I am sorry I even brought this forward to begin with.
I am sorry if I am now seen as shit because we wanted to keep a tight lid on a project.(even though I gave a little info on it to gain (gulp) support)
Maybe Neolord should just admit hes evil, even though he is not so he can be seen as someone with NO credibility, that way people wont have to question him all the damn time.
Right now any credibility I have I want to be forgotten and flushed down the thomas, because it simply is not worth the backlash.
I am shit, there.
The scene is not tainted only because of bad dealers etc.
Its tainted because we strike down anything good that comes along with constant suspicion.And are ego trips and amazingly prideful attitudes, "LWK you made a mistake, where is the gun" <-- this type of messed up mentality.
Here is a few examples.
Shawns deal with SNK me and a few other striked it down and made him look like he was lieing.
Ray's newest strikers 1945 release, we never believed it would materialize, same goes for the AES 2 and the converter.
This is typical, and I am a idiot for not expecting this kind of attitide, hell I feel like I am in the national enquierer, maybe I brought this on myself.
You want to know the truth about SNK?
They make more bad marketing decisions then any company I have seen in a long time.
There luck and talent is what gets them by.
How do you buy games from SNK when they wont sell them to you in the first place?? ( and example of what Shawn was stabbing at)
There is no community more negative then the cursed neo scene's
(And since I mentioned Shawn without negative affiliation, when I was mad at him I cursed like a mad man, feel free to use that against me)

Ok you win.
Now what the fuck can I say to make myself look decent now? Nothing.
You know its about time I entered chat to be called a liar dont you think?

Flame someone today we are ALL PERFECT NEO beings/fans MAKE A MISTAKE?
IMPOSSIBLE...
Its more important to some to make others look bad then to enjoy the news in the first place.
And lets not forget "LWK lives for his enemies"
so basically if your not my enemy I am already dead.

Then why the hell did you post it here, you retard? The fault it yours.

You know what since you are indeed so interested in making others look bad why not take me down with the ship as well.

We might be, if it did not have the appearance of being a deceptive scheme, or some sort of exercise in stroking your own egos. Why bring up information, then pretend to not have connection to it when you do? BTW, whatever happened to your attitude about saying anything/not hiding anything, regardless of consequences? <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Yeah I have tried with you. I have tried multiple times.

No, but his statement does give that appearance. "I do not know what to think." He is involved, but has no opinion? I doubt that. If NeoLord just came in and said he was working on something, it would have garnered a far different response.

Whats the fucking point, why announce the issuing of a game when people go out of there way to destroy something positive.
I have no influence on NL and he has no influence on me, we are friends if thats ok, No I am not the guy bringing him cakes with chizels buried in them.

What, you mean a Non-Disclosure Agreement? I sure as hell would not have gone posting the info on a public site if I did. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

I sure as hell would not, this topic was completely voluntary to begin with, it has now degraded into your average paranoia thread. I know this because it got me on the paranoid side with reading these responses. What a negative outlook, "he lives for his enemies" Funny.

You DO live for your enemies. When people ignore you, you try and pick fights to draw attention to yourself. Then when you get slapped down, you whine about how you are tired of this BS, should quit the scene (Please do, what is stopping you?), how you could be getting laid right now (Unless payday is too far off), etc.


And if NL was playing dumb or so? Did he lie directly to you? He never stated he had nothing to do with it.

When there is even the appearance of deception, people get suspicious. The appearance was there, now you are in Damage Control Mode. Admit Nothing. Deny Everything. Make Counter-Accusations.


I regret ever posting this damn thread in the first place, I thought you guys would be interested but I see there is some vendetta against certain parties who hold grudges.

Sure, it is MY fault you chose to post information that should have been kept private. Silly me. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

This is my personal opinion, and because I do not delete without just cause, this thread will stay up.
Damnit Bio if winning these petty arguements is so important you can have it.

They only become "petty arguments" when it becomes obvious you are on the losing side. You quit this one more quickly than normal, ya big wussalope. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

If you feel this was dishnoest on Mike's part then maybe he can explain it himself. I dont speak for Mike. Mike I consider a trustable person who is a good friend of whom I frequently speak to through ICQ, he has brought some good stuff to this scene, but it seems the second opinion towards him is negative.

I have had a good opinion of Mike up until now, and we shall see what developes from this before I change my opinion. I await an explanation from him.


I shine nobody's shoes, and in this situation I am going solo.

No, you just drop names (BillKwanDo, anyone?) of prominent people in the scene, situations that have occurred, etc., trying to elevate yourself in other peoples' views.

I tried, I died, I am dead. the fucking end.[/Q]

Somehow I doubt that....

BTW, if NeoLord and company have no involvement in the developement of the game, and this is just a "media leak," you have a lot to learn about the art. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I was not blaming you I was assuming you had queered the deal. I never said with 100% clarity that Bio is to blame or any other person for occurances that happen, I was just attacking you personally for attacking me. Its human nature.
I never said you had any ability I never personally confirmed it. Hence the word may
Well,.. had you read the reason I said I posted it shortly after you would know.

How many good Threads have you ruined with your negative shit? Pot, kettle, black.

How many good threads have you ruined with you negative shit?, return quote.
Lets see here is another example the DDK game which has nothing to do with neo news and is OT all the way yet was never moved,
then there is your constant speeches about LWK crying for attnention etc. (More useless ranting)
Get real anyone who finds keyboard attention extremely important is a guaranteed recluse.

We might be, if it did not have the appearance of being a deceptive scheme, or some sort of exercise in stroking your own egos. Why bring up information, then pretend to not have connection to it when you do? BTW, whatever happened to your attitude about saying anything/not hiding anything, regardless of consequences?

I dont think it was meant to be deceptive, did you ever stop to think maybe because it has something to do with neonews not only Mike is invloved?
I am not hiding anything I could have wiped this topic out of site but chose to leave it.
You know damn well I dont hide things, and if I do I bring myself out in the open out of guilt of the act.
Ask me a truly scary question and I will answer it with ease.

No, but his statement does give that appearance. "I do not know what to think." He is involved, but has no opinion? I doubt that. If NeoLord just came in and said he was working on something, it would have garnered a far different response.

Thats your issue with him, which you should have quoted his post and his post alone, but you quoted mine.

It is when you pull stunts like this that you appear to be a lackey. Let NeoLord make his own announcements.

A lackey? Does anyone grasp the thought of how rediculous and paranoid this has become?
And yes indeed if you need to speak stunts go into acrobatics. NL make his own announcements?
Hmmm I though by being a "American" I had the right to speak for myself.
Guess not!

What, you mean a Non-Disclosure Agreement? I sure as hell would not have gone posting the info on a public site if I did.

"What, you mean a Non-Disclosure Agreement?"

Rhetoric? I think so, asking a question as and example, I will bite.
I stated already why I went to a public forum to give a little info on the game <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

You DO live for your enemies. When people ignore you, you try and pick fights to draw attention to yourself. Then when you get slapped down, you whine about how you are tired of this BS, should quit the scene (Please do, what is stopping you?), how you could be getting laid right now (Unless payday is too far off), etc.


How could I live for my enemies? That in all seriousness as a example of my attitude is a poor statement.(Over judgemental Bio) Its impossible to live for my enemies, I thought we went over this in chat already? Why draw attention to myself, you constantly did it for me when I was banned by mentioning my name a load of times.
Then lets see it this way Bio, you live to fight with me. Touchee ne?
Ignore me?
I admit I am not perfect, but who is?
Why not dwell on Shawn's past contradictions?I always seem to be your number one subject. You have become a whiner by whining about me.
You only analise things you have personal bias against, remember Bio I was nice to you, you personally shitted on me. And I am sure you analise other things your not entirely biased against but my name appears in alot of your posts <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

When there is even the appearance of deception, people get suspicious. The appearance was there, now you are in Damage Control Mode. Admit Nothing. Deny Everything. Make Counter-Accusations.

Admit nothing? Deny everything?
Is that not and impossible means in the first place?
How can I not admit nothing, even before "analising" this I admitted I was not perfect, nor do I want to be. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Sure, it is MY fault you chose to post information that should have been kept private. Silly me. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

You know I never said "it is your fault" you must subconsciously believe it is, since you constantly bring it up. (or maybe not <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">)
I said the business relations MAY have been messsed up because of you, I never said ITS ALL BIO'S fault.
Nor do I care enough to give you that much control over the situation entirely.

They only become "petty arguments" when it becomes obvious you are on the losing side. You quit this one more quickly than normal, ya big wussalope. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I quit this one because it gets nothing accomplished, unlike you Bio I dont need to benefit from arguements, being a fellow republican its a natural thing to argue <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
If I were to put my true effort forward there would be no more arguement.
I did not need to quit, nor did I ever say in these words "I QUIT" (I am full aware I made that quote as irony of the whole situation, as to making it I did indeed say it and that was twenty nine words ago.) <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I have had a good opinion of Mike up until now, and we shall see what developes from this before I change my opinion. I await an explanation from him.

Who cares what developes?, its obvious nothing people say or do is good enough for certain people. Yeah we are all out to get you with suspicious means Bio.

No, you just drop names (BillKwanDo, anyone?) of prominent people in the scene, situations that have occurred, etc., trying to elevate yourself in other peoples' views.

I never one time dropped Bill's name the guy is a saint in my opinion.I did however drop Pitt.
I would like you to revive a thread where I dropped Billkwando, and you say I am dishonest.

Somehow I doubt that....

If I was aware of him doing anything controversial I fully apoligize I dont hide things, and Shawn can personally verify that if needed.
Ask away Bio.
(and I weeded out your little face icons, only 8 is allowed you know..)

EDIT: tons of confusing crap, since by originally quoted me incorrectly, I decided to do the same!

I will let your own reply refute you, no need to waste time shutting you down when you let your own stupidity shine through like that. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> BTW, since you are obviously ignorant of what dropping someone's name means, it is something that is done to appear important by associating yourself with the named important party. For instance, "Oh, I was just talking with George W. Bush the other day, and...," or "I just happened to see Brad Pitt when he was...."

Thats about right <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
Man I expected more, why give up?
Dropping someone's name has two meanings and still I stated that I wanted to meet Bilkwando I never got to know him, I am guessing you are actually paying attention to the LWK impersonaters in chat. Although as of late they have declined from three to a staggering zero.(At least I hope)
Stupidity shines through when you make no effort to make the party you claim to be stupid look as you said, "stupid"
You are a very insulting individual on the whole Biomoron, so in truth we have only one thing in common, argueing with each other.
Whether you would like to admit it or not, you enjoy arguing and contesting your points.

And if you payper-view the Biomotor vs LWK fight on friday, you will get free popcorn as and added bonus.
