Gearspark - Announced

[HiddenX]

The Steampunk RPG Gearspark has been announced:

Gearspark

A First-Person Love Letter to Steampunk Fantasy Roleplaying.
Inspired by Arcanum: Of Magick and Steamworks Obscura and Dishonored®, Gearspark immerses you into an industrial revolution in a world of magick. Uncover conspiracies against the Rahldbanon Empire, wield 1800s-era guns, steampunk technology, swords and sorcery in your expeditions into uncharted lands, to quell rebellion, or to inspire it.

Uncover a shadowy conspiracy against Grand Artificer Rahldbanon that could plunge Naerus into civil war. Take the side of the booming, industrial Empire or the magickal kingdoms that still cling to tradition. Wield blades, spells, gadgets or guns.

Fight to save the Empire...or to tear it down, brick by brick.

"Inspired by Arcanum" got me to check out the Steam page... But it's a first person action RPG, not too highly inspired by it I guess.

Well it actually says the game is inspired by Arcanum: Of Magick & Steamworks Obscura & Dishonored. What bothers me it says the game content will be randomized.

Sounds like another procedural generation game.

I do enjoy steampunk games, I'll be watching and reading here to see what others think of this one.

I don't mind the first-person view, but this looks really low-budget.

Well it's interesting because I think the interface UI looks really good imo, but the in-engine environments do look pretty poor.

graphics looks like a mmorpg of 20 years ago.

 

[Carnifex]

Agreed, comfortable and inviting, plus steampunk goodness, the semi-geek in me is pleased.

I think the graphics are quite functional if the rest of the game is good. After all wiz 8 graphics while a bit blocky is still quite functional.

Looks like Arcanum without the worldbuilding... which I can't really get excited over. We'll see.
