SP Modern Fantasy Steampunk Mod - DEAD

[Tuckles]

Alien is crap. I've already got a few things going on in my head. Something should come up soon.

 

[Savage]

I meant the "aliens" in the beginning of this steampunk vid; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKQDqCvGjhM. It would be cool.

 

[Tuckles]

No, I meant the concept of anything out of this world is fail.

I'm trying to make it steampunk but still slightly plausible. Hell, I'm researching on how steamengines work, and I'm gonna try to build myself my own set of steampunk weapons just to see if they work.

On an unrelated note. Exoskeleton armor giving strength and agility (or maybe an athletics) bonus. Awesome or what?

On another unrelated note, Calradia or no?

 

[Savage]

A steam engine goes on water and on something that heats the water up  - boils the water, create steam, the steam then moves the parts (steam is hot and warmth goes up.) Most power plants use this function.

Anything out of this world? You havent even decided if it is on Earth or Calradia, and the steampunk version of it. Who knows, in steampunk Calradia there maybe are these "aliens" (Ok, not aliens, but spooky creatures dressed in black and red-glowing eyes. Maybe they are robots.)

Exoskeleton, sounds like something from Stalker or Fallout. But whatever, if you make it of brass and lots of gear wheels and pipes + rust, then it's ok. Btw, I vote for Calradia (or a completly new world.) If we choose this world, it wont look like it anyways.


Those "aliens", or better, robotic creatures, could be something that the steam-engineers invented and it rebelled against them (hah, like terminator.) the steam-enineers did fought them off, and they now travel everywhere, attacking merchants and adventurers for spareparts and oil (lol!) Maybe you can meet nice ones, that you can hire as heroes in taverns at the rebels (not at the engineers, they banished them, and maybe not at the aristocrats, coz they... are like they are.) Then they can have their story, and maybe not red eyes but blue (lol. I, robot!)

Just an idea

 

[QuailLover]

I think the map should actualy be a steampunk version of one of the major cities from Native.

For example...lets say...Praven.

 

[Savage]

Like you only travel in a city? Yeah, maybe.

The military dont let anyone out of the city. The aristocrats can do whatever they want. The citizens rebel. The steam-engineers have their guilds here and there and get hired by both the military and the rebellion. Sounds interesting.

 

[Highlander]

Shut up, Polo Loko.

Why not have a Snake Plissken setting: The swadian military has turned Praven into a giant prison.

have you read Girl Genius (www.girlgeniusonline.com) Apart from being hilarious, it might do you good in this mod...

Uh... wait what? There are two versions. One in which pipes of steam are pushed through a vat of water, and then the water is heated and turned into steam, and then there's the opposite, pipes of water are pumped into a furnace, which is heated. The latter is used today, because the former has a big chance of blowing up. Also, AFAIK, most clean power plants now rely on the motion of something to basically move a copper coil around a magnet.

I said no. Dear god.

Exoskeleton, sounds like something from Stalker or Fallout. But whatever, if you make it of brass and lots of gear wheels and pipes + rust, then it's ok. Btw, I vote for Calradia (or a completly new world.) If we choose this world, it wont look like it anyways.

I distinctly remember seeing steampunk clockwork exoskeletons, plus there's Kingdom of Loathing. I'm thinking a toned down version of the clockwork man in Rise of Legends.

No. See above.

Shut up, Polo Loko.

So just set in one city in Calradia? I find that limiting, but it could work.

I wish. That game is awesome, and my noobish prowess would just defile its greatness. I am getting inspiration from it though, no worries there.

Can't say that I have, but I'll check it out. Thanks.


Also, sorry about the lack of updates. Our class play just finished this week, so it was one hell of a hectic week. I'm looking forward to a 4-day weekend soon though, so I'll have some stuff up by then.

Lastly: Poll closes on Friday.

I didn't mean clockwork armor, although I'd want to add that as well, but a clockwork exoskeleton, something like metallic "ribs" surrounding your chest, connected to a device at the back, with more of those "ribs" on your limbs (to increase your strength or running power).

 

[M@ster-$]

Ah, steam engine powered exoskeleton version of Power Armor from Fallout

[Tuckles]

Something like that I guess.

[Tuckles]

Sorry for the doublepost but... Update!

Yes, it's not quite dead, this mod.

Also, the poll's closed (albeit a bit late).

And since only two people actually gave viable suggestions, the choice is between these 4:

Center of the Earth! (My own idea. )
One of the cities of Calradia in a lockdown. -Highlander
Arcanum (ack! That's tough!) -M@ster-$
Edited Native map (The second largest choice, I'll think of something)

 

[M@ster-$]

My choice was obvious

EDIT: Ideas for hats...

1. Chapeau of Magnetic Inversion

Love it! Top Hat with magnetic device

2. Goggled Helmet

Well, it's helmet with goggles attached. In original they were worn by pilots, so I'm not sure...

3. Miner's Helmet

Aye, there should be Miner's Helmet in Steampunk Mod (Industry)

4. And of course different Medieval, Renaissance and Industrial ages hats, helms and helmets

 

[Savage]

But you really wanna copy something that already exist? I think it's better to do something of your own, Tuckles. Nice hats you made, btw. Yeah, you need googles and monocles!

One of the reasons that I'm shaky about an Arcanum theme. But it's always nice to have source material.

What's the point? x_X

2. Goggled Helmet

Ah, the hat of a working man.

3. Miner's Helmet

Aye, there should be Miner's Helmet in Steampunk Mod (Industry)

The blue collared labourer, he is incomplete without this.

4. And of course different Medieval, Renaissance and Industrial ages hats, helms and helmets

Why medieval and renaissance? I'd think those weird hats from the renaissance age would be phased out by now.

Deviation of incoming missiles (arrows and bolts with metal tip, gunpowder from firearms, etc.). This would need additional scripting though...

Why medieval and renaissance? I'd think those weird hats from the renaissance age would be phased out by now.

There could be different Knight Orders in the mod, like Templars and such. They were known to exist even in the more modern times.
