Incubator Games gives us a sneak preview of their steampunk turn-based tactics game, Trudy's Mechanicals:

Rip apart your body and become a machine!

To survive aboard the gruesome airship named Trudy, most citizens are turned into Mechanicals. Their limbs are torn away, replaced with industrial tools to secure a spot on the assembly lines. When the alternative is starvation or the toxic mists below, few refuse the offer. However, not all are content with watching their humanity stripped away, and a revolution slowly begins to brew.

“We’ve created a Slavic-influenced world that stands out from typical Steampunk settings,” says Incubator Games lead designer Radek Koncewicz. “Gone are bowler hats and fine brandies, replaced with fur caps and vegetable spirits.”

Description

Trudy’s Mechanicals is a turn-based tactical strategy game set in a giant Steampunk dirigible. The title pits a host of combat veterans, bespectacled scholars, and industrial labourers against the corrupt gentry in a full-scale guerrilla war. With Trudy, Incubator Games aims to bring a Slavic aesthetic to the world of Steampunk while injecting a more kinetic and interactive element to the tactics genre. Trudy’s Mechanicals is slated for release on the PC in early 2016, with ports to various other platforms currently being explored.


History

The concept of Trudy’s Mechanicals was a distant dream when Incubator Games was originally founded, but one that was always going to see the light of day. Following numerous work-for-hire projects that allowed the company to save funds and develop technology, Trudy’s Mechanicals was successfully pitched to OMDC’s IDM Fund. A labour of love years in the making, Trudy is now our team’s main focus as we strive to make it as good a game as we possibly can.


Features

  • Distinct characters with unique abilities akin to MOBA heroes.
  • Fully interactive 3D environments that provide a new set of choices with each battle.
  • Slavic-rooted Steampunk setting beautifully illustrated in a painterly style.
  • Intuitive UI that makes complex actions a breeze to preview and execute.
  • Streamlined progression with plenty of optional content for those willing to dig deeper.

Nice to see another original title in the works, especially in a genre that hasn't been explored much.

I read it as Turdy Mechanicals and was like "What the..." :)
On topic: sounds interesting, but I hope it relies more on gameplay than story because this "death or slavery" theme is for some reason uninteresting for me.
