PTW:

also i was wondering if its possible to trap that huge sea serpent in the screenie and then tame him for use against the natives?

Sir, this is bay12. I am shocked at your lack of imagination. Taming a creature to set him on the natives? Amateur!

Here at the Twelfth Bay we would capture a breeding pair of the creatures and drown their young for their valuable bones, used in all sorts of industrial and artistic applications. The hardiest of the creatures would then be trained as sea-cavalry to wreak havoc on the seaside.

No.  We capture the serpent and train it to attack our own people.

No.  We capture the serpent and train it to attack our own people.

That comes much later, when one of the young get the taste of dwarf blood during an accident involving a shovel, a high speed minecart, and not less than four goblins.

Only problem: you are playing as the humans this time around. Therefore the accident equation would instead involve tesla coils, minced spike menace and a baby stuck in a high pressure valve under the sea.

Fixed for little steampunk mermaid segue.

I do believe my megaproject will be attaching enough propellers, lighter-than-air conveyances and steam turbines to my colony to make the entire damn thing air-mobile. Cause really.....if you can make a Laputa-style flying city, then you can make anything.

Failing that, a factory which is powered by enslaved Deep Ones would be a nice gig.

I also expect to see a great number of extravagant and fanciful Victorian appellations, such as "Dr. Higginbottom's Miraculous Anti-Aetheric Laudanum". No steampunk setting is complete without those.

EDIT: Oh, and Imperial Steam Grenadiers. kthx

[Aklyon]

Yes, the long names are quite nice.

Speaking of, I found what purports to be some development art

and the poets do indeed carry bottles of laudanum! Verily, I approve. No industrializing society can achieve its full cultural potential without some people tripping balls and writing about it.

I've always been a fan of builders, and even more so of demented ones.  Dungeon Keeper is still one of my favorites...  and CE looks like it has a lot of fun potential.  I'm eagerly waiting for more news.

Question...  You guys know about the Girl Genius Comic?

Also - Zangi, curse yer scurvy hide! :p  I just spent most of my free time for the last four days reading Girl Genius from start to current, and it's truly a beautiful thing!  Thanks for tossing that link out.  I was thinking Phil Foglio was a familiar name, and then saw that he did the Phil & Dixie comics from Dragon mag.

[Zangi]

Hah, no problem, I think I first found out about that comic... somewhere around these forums.  Pretty much did the same thing you did.

[Hyndis]

I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.


DO WANT!

Seriously. Do want. So hard. And its even modding friendly!



...this may actually be the game that supplants DF for me assuming it lives up to its goals.   

[sebcool]

Yes yes yes yes yes steam punk colony game Fuck yes!!

This thread is linked on the Gaslamp website now. Hide the urchins.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

ptw. i'm excited for the game, although the feeling that i'm being specifically marketed to makes me a bit uncomfortable. i'll also not be able to play this game in the next 10 years or so, due to poverty
the worst part will be when i see all my friends who refused to try df having fun with this game, and coming to me all like "hey, you gonna love this game, it's like a cool version of that shitty game you play with the letters and stuf". i'm gonna be a grumpy and bitter hipster...
