The British Empire: Victorian Sci-Fi Mod Announced
« on: May 08, 2008, 06:09:48 am »
After making a few neat looking rifles based on victorian & ww1 designs. I was thinking that maybe i should make a whole mod based around Victorian Sci-fi.

For those of you who dont know about Vic-Sci-Fi it is a view on the future from what people from the 1800s predicted such as steam powered flying ships and steel armoured gunmen etc.

I would like to announce that this mod is now being developed! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
I am currently working to base this mod around a trenchwar style of fighting.

Damn.. and there I was thinking to myself I was going to make the first Steampunk soldat mod.

That artwork looks sweet.

Oh!

But they would be in wooden (weapons) ?

Its just because you could do something like wwII weapons with modern styles, in metal and so

I will be making weapons that are metal-based. However they will reflect a victorian style of design. Think steel and rivets.

However wooden textures will be key in some of my designs.

Right at the present time i am designing fictional weapons that would have possibly existed in the Victorian/colonial era. They will be from the 3 prominent nations of the time. Great Britian, France and the 'recently nationalised' Germany.

Im confused... was this in like WWII or just after? or what :?  I dont think WW2 and sci fi mix well.  Your graphic art design makes it all the more confusing!

It's like a '20s retro/art deco style mod, I guess, well, [I never watched it so don't quote me] like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow [that's the right title... right?]. Steampunk is suddenly very popular xD

Only because I said it :P

(actually that's true, you can compare the date of my above post with the Steampunk mod thread)

This looks like it could end up being Steampunk-ish...

Not so-much steampunk. Thats too American-west.

Think of it as a European alternative.

A steampunk-themed mod is quite interesting and new.
It's nice to see some change from all the high tech weapons and thingamajiggers.

I hope somewhere out there is a mapper who would take it upon him/herself to rebuild one of those awesome propeller-ships in the poster.

I can offer you my help or are you going solo on this one?
Cheers.
