Hello all, my name is Rebecca. I work for a small game developer company Mechanist Games. They are now working on a browser-based, steampunk/industrial fantasy, 3D full featured MMORPG, you might want to check out City of Steam. City of Steam is based on a series of role-playing books (The New Epoch) written by our own Founder and Lead Designer, so there's a rich lore and story to the game that most MMOs don't bother much with. In addition, it's made by an indie developer, and despite being browser-based, thanks to Unity 3D it looks quite impressive; the world, for example, is a huge mechanism of gears and spokes, as seen below:



(To see this in full animation, see: http://www.cityofste...ld/worldmachine )

For a better picture of the game, check our latest Closed Beta Trailer. A lot has been changed and improved since then, but it can still give a good idea for what we plan to make of our game:



This world is full of both magical and mechanical monstrosities, clockwork wonders (even dwarves are part-organic, part-mechanichal), and ripe for adventure. Expansive metropolitan cities built on years of neglect and abandon allow untold evils to thrive within the heart of its intricate networks of pipes, gears and towering spires. It is up to the new age of hardy adventurers to aid the Triumvirs, the local governing body, to rid and clean up the depths and heights of the city.

Edit:
