Story:

Sometime in the late 19th Century...

Over the past few decades, steam technology has been developing at a rapid pace. The government has created the first cyborgs, these are soldiers who have lost limbs in past battles and to keep them active, have had robotic limbs attached. These limbs – working on a combination of steam power and a cog system – have turned the soldiers into a form of super soldiers, known as Neo- Soldiers. This was a huge advantage to the government; they now had a stronger army to protect their lands with. Throughout the land this was seen as a huge leap in technology that would make life safe for everyone. Not everyone was so happy though…

An underground organization was formed, the Air Pirates, with the members believing that the neo-soldiers would be eventually used to oppress the people. The government eventually caught wind of the existence of this organization and a campaign was started to suppress their actions to avoid the people from turning against the government.

Faced with possible death, the members of the Air Pirates fled the cities, starting small shanty towns where they could plan their attacks against the government that forced them into a life of exile.

About the team:
Steam-Front began initial pre-production in February 2007 with only one member, it didn’t stay this way for long though, within two months four new modeller/animators jumped at the chance to bring to life a game set in a genre hardly touched by modern game developers. The growth of the team didn’t stop there, with an amazing concept artist well known within the steampunk community hoping on board less than a month later.
With a team of students eager to make their first foray into the world of game creation and fresh ideas continuing to flow freely throughout, Steam-Front is shaping up to be the next generation of yesteryear!
