I think the female fancy shirt will be in the shirts cathegory.
The clockbelt with the lacy skirt can be a special belt, like the one from the ninja pack.
I wondering how they doing it with the long skirt. Also, love the new boots.
And the hairstyles, the male jacket and hats... Backparts, wings, pistols...
This booster is full of win and autosold.
bAss_, I cant wait to see your new Steampunk pack thread, maybe I will post some pics too

The Steam Shogun is going to get a makeover, and Earl Cheatham will likely get some new touches. I may even revamp Captain Zeppelin, even though I never play him, just to have an excuse to play with the new toys some more.

Jay dropped in to threaten the T rating of the marathon Ustream while the servers were down, so he's still lurking about.

Was that a jet pack? It looks like a flypose. I know we're getting steam jump as a power. And I know that there is the back pack. BUT... that first item? Is that really a persistent jet pack... Finally? After all these years? Does my rocketeer finally get a rocket pack for reals? I've been wanting that item for so many years now that I'm not sure if I'm ready for it. Something feels wrong with the universe.

Yep, he is still on board, and working hard it seems.
He showed up (lol) at the Ustream live chat so... He is still with us.
Devs said months ago he was overwhelmed with work, but the Steampunk is all made by Cheryl and her team, and Animal pack heads were made also for another art dev...
So I dont have a clue of what could be Sexy Jay working on...
Backpacks? Also for weapons so we can actually wear things like quivers for archers?
Upgrading the old low-res pieces?
Animated hair?
Time will tell... But for now, gimmie Steampunk pack!

I would imagine that first bit we saw was actually the steam jump power.

Other than that ... it would have been nice to see the clockwork wings in action (though I might have missed that). I'm certainly buying the pack though, lots of fun stuff it looks like.

I say it missing some Steampunk blades (Think Vibroblade form KoTOR2). My Dual Blader would love steampunk blades for a 'older' look!

I think it's a little late to get anything changed in the pack at this point.

What exactly would a steampunk blade look like, that a Red Cap Dagger won't cover? Or a sabre?

Not that I want people going out and using Red Cap Daggers >_>;;

Well i was kinda hoping for something like the "Vibroblades" of the star wars lore/games(KoTOR2). My dual blader use's mostly the Vanguard blades but i want a older look and some of the other blades don't cut it for me.

Given the Victorian and Edwardian inspiration for the entire steampunk aesthetic, I would go with the fencing foils for a steampunk character. But then again, I also go for fancy hats and monocles rather than "omgz brass everywhere!".

I think the strength of the steampunk genre comes from its contrast with the prim and proper ideals of 19th century Europe. A good character design would definitely leverage this.

Okay, this is a very cool pack.

But everyone and their grandmother is going to run in steampunk gear for the next months. Thats the only thing that I don’t like about it, an overkill of steampunk toons.

City of Steampunk!

I am ok with this outcome.

So, with the new pantaloon costume pieces, and the pantaloon swapping technology, are we going to start seeing pantaloon raids?

Pantaloon pantaloon pantaloon...



...I forgot what experience means.

I was thinking just the opposite. In fact I think that a steampunk themed Incarnate Trial would look pretty cool.

No. But an Ouroboros arc that takes you to the 19th century would be neat.


One question. What exactly does this new face tech do? Looking at the faces, they don't look much different. Just that we got new faces. But, unless I'm wrong, it was mentioned that we got new facial technology, which implies we can do more with them than we can do now. Didn't really see much different than what we can already do with 'em.

Well, I've seen people going on about the world ending this Saturday, so you may be out of luck!

The tech, from my limited understanding, is supposed to make the faces appear to have a bit more geometry, possibilities such as the bridge of the nose, the eyeballs, details, curves and such without the actual model having been altered and given more polygons in order to achieve such things.
So, in theory, they'd look less like faces painted onto the existing head geometry and a little more like the head geometry is sculpted properly to the face.

I hope I conveyed that correctly and somewhat understandably!

The trial to steal Nemesis's, er, plans? Parts? Pantaloons?

Wow. I had no idea. Yeah, I'm getting that.

... I mean, I barely even log in these days, and I'm still getting that.
