CoS 1.X versions end development, CoS: Arkadia development begins

25 October, 2013 - Mechanist Games

To kick off the beginning of Mechanist's self-publishing efforts for City of Steam, we will be heavily modifying the game, ending the previous 1.X product version line and branching off in a different direction. We want to publish City of Steam: Arkadia, effectively a 2.0 version, on several gaming platforms and hope to include Steam in that list of platforms before the end of the year.

Before doing so, we need to revisit many of the features and modifications that were made for the 1.X versions. The changes will not be minor. Many systems will be updated and added to, some will be reduced, others will be removed. The details of these changes can be found in the following weeks on the game's new site http://www.cityofsteam.com/ and will be updated as more information becomes available.

We hope to give the game a fresh new start, put the past behind us, and honor our loyal supporters at the same time.

Mechanist ends cooperation with publisher R2, will self-publish now

25 October, 2013 - Mechanist Games

Mechanist Games has ended it's cooperation with R2 Games and purchased back the rights to publish the English version of the game. But before that can happen, many important changes need to happen for the game to be healthy and suitable for platforms such as Steam.

Description

Release date: 2013

A city of industrial wonders sits on the brink of collapse. A world of mechanical precision has been brought to the verge of war. The New Epoch is ending, and what comes next will change the Great Mechanism forever.

City of Steam is a 3-D MMORPG set in a steampunk-inspired universe years in the making. No tired fantasy tropes here! No dragon rides, no flaming swords, and no enchanted forests. If any of our elves live in trees, it's because they're CRAZY!

Despite its modern, streamlined interface, City of Steam is firmly grounded in the tabletop RPG tradition. Based on the pen and paper RPG series The New Epoch, City of Steam boasts a world of incredible depth and detail. From the clockroaches that plague the tunnels beneath Nexus to the great phlogiston-filled airships that soar above the city, City of Steam will immerse you in a world of danger, intrigue, and technological fantasy.

Features:

11 playable races, each with unique quest lines and abilities.
4 classes with dozens of abilities and branching profession choices.
10 massively multiplayer hubs with hundreds of levels to explore and quest-giving NPCs to meet.
Wear tricornes and bowlers to step out in style! Find thousands of randomly-generated pieces of equipment and cosmetic items bursting with steampunk flavor.
Gauges and gears everywhere! Modify every weapon in the game, giving your gear the bonuses and appearance you crave.
Be the envy of all your friends as you zoom by on a sleek steambike or state-of-the-art jetpack!
Try team and solo Challenge Dungeons to test your skills to the limit!
All the MMO features you expect: a player-driven Marketplace, team matchmaking, up to 5v5 PVP battles, and more!
The breakthrough browser MMORPG, soon to be available on Steam with your help!

This is not the same game shown in the videos. That is the Closed Beta version of the game that is nothing like the current nerfed version.

Death2Gnomes 20 Dec, 2013 @ 9:53pm

its not the same game that was voted to be on Greenlight, it needs to be taken off.

The is one of the most deplorable pay-to-win games I have ever come across, even worse than publisher R2. Most events you perform in the game can be advanced by using money.

Even today they added a new update heavily reducing the amount of gold a player can add to his Company daily, while now allowing you to use currency to perform the same task you could do for free.

The game is also very deceptive in that it is deliberately designed so that you "accidently" use in game currency without meaning to and the grinding is extreme after you hit late 30 levels.
It used to be a very good game in its original form and the first 30 levels of this version are enjoyable, but the changes have made it into a money grabbing grind fest.

As a free player it is worth playing up to level 30, but avoid at all costs if you tend to put money into your browser games.
