Now, not many will know what the title of this topic is. Which is precisely why I made it.

SteamPunk is a style of art direction and world based on, basically, how they thought the future would be in the years 1800. In terms of books, we're talking Jules Verne (10.000 Miles Below Sea, Around The World in 80 Days, Journey to the Center of the Earth), H.G. Wells (The Time Machine) and so on and so on.

Now, there's also anime and comics in the steampunk genre (Gundam, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) but the interesting thing is the graphical side of it. Steampunk is - to put it lightly - absolutely gorgeous. Airships, leviathans, underwater cities, underground cities (city of ember) are all steampunk.


Let me show you some images.

Spoiler:

Game, Guns of Icarus.

Drawn image, the Nautilus from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen


Spoiler:

Underground city, City of Ember.


Spoiler:

Skyrail, Fable 3.


Image

Narshe the Mining City, Final Fantasy 6

Image

Airship docking in the city of Lindblum.





This, gentlemen, is SteamPunk. And for the love of God, start recognizing it.

That will be all.

My definition of Steam Punk :
Something to do with steam and is mechanical that doesn't look so futuristic :roll:

And does Gundam count as steampunk? As it's into the future where people settle in floating colonies.

as far as I can understand, steam punk is a style where they draw a "futuristic historical" era. It looks old and dated back in the 19th century, however it has some futuristic features, as in flying ships, floating cities

gundam is sci-fi, not steam punk
