Well, the game is in the development stages. I have, however, written a set of rules that is a turn-based RPG style.

Machina-Obscura In reply to Dealramh-McGreine [2011-10-22 14:17:56 +0000 UTC]

as of yet, no one has played it I am working on it alone in my freetime and that takes a lot of time. But, apart from the rules, the world is kinda ready for the start of the game. The rules however give me the creeps -.- But I already found some ways.
Anyways, another plan is to present this to video game companies. currently working on a presentation.

I'm pretty pumped about this! I love RPGs, but I do get tired of the stereotypical fantasy/Medieval world from time to time. This is just what the doctor ordered! If you need any help with any rough concept sketches or artist's renderings, I'd be glad to pitch in.

well, how about some mean and rough dockworkers-gone-criminal kind of thing. Big, muscular men with a grim face and a neglected trhee-day beard? ^^ something like them, but meaner and stronger ^^ => outgoing link

Is this still in the works or has all work halted?

From what I've seen its a very impressive project!

Machina-Obscura In reply to ZandoranCelix [2011-07-11 09:11:48 +0000 UTC]

yes, it is still in work. But I am mainly working alone, so it takes time
But I have it almost as far as to allow for a first "testing round".
Since I have got proper Internet half an hour ago, I will finally be able to post updates here, as well as to tinker a basic website for the project. Well, I don't know about that last one, but it will come. ^^

Hello!
me again, because I also post in your other page, but because this is machina-obscura page, I decided to post again here.
I just registered in your forum, I am very interested in your game, I love steampunk but I have to be sincere, I don't know much about technicism, glossary, what is steampunk what is not...so for me to see the forum was a lottery winning ticket
sorry my english, got a little rusty lately.
So I want to ask a Question to you...I created this character for the forum, but I want to draw it and submit in here...can I do it? of course I will put the correct credits
Thank you so much!
love your drawings!

Sometimes I get a little late with the drawings, I sketch the designs, clean them, and colour them..all traditional...maybe that's why! is also my first steampunk character! but I promise Scarlet has to end very good..
and...how are you doing? i should started with that haha

I stumbled upon Your Steam Punk Awesomeness While Looking up Elephant Guns, and Finding the Rotary Rifle. I am Absoluetly fascinated by it, and have been devouring Your Site and Work! You Sir, are AWESOME. Totaly, and Comepletly, AWESOME.

well, that rotary rifle wasn't me ^^ check out the link that I should have provided in the description.
I asked this artist if I am allowed to use it for the project.
Really glad that you like the project so much!

TheSailorGeek [2009-11-28 08:22:07 +0000 UTC]

May I make a reccommendation? I realize it's a bit late in the game for it, but I think it's a good idea. I think there ought to be a Swashbuckler class. This character can either be a pirate or a privateer. He/She would be a high DEX and CHA character. I notice that there currently isn't a class that specializes in swordsmanship, so I think this would be a good addition.

Machina-Obscura In reply to TheSailorGeek [2011-07-11 09:17:34 +0000 UTC]

Well, the char classes are just the basic at character creation, and they get certain boni lateron that go well with the selected class. But what you do with your life....well, thats up to you It is still written in the stars whether a chemist suddenly decides to become a successful air pirate, for example ^^

hey, i just wanted to let you know that I'm excited to see another steam punk game popping up! I am currently in the process of creating my table top game in steampunk as well. It's more in the vein of Heroscape than RPG, but this looks awsome. So, as the deal goes, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine! Keep up the good work, cheers!
