steampunk version of last oasis?
This gives me last oasis vibes but with steam punk.

The main gameplay difference is that here your moving base (Trampler) is your actual base. In Last Oasis if you get killed on your walker it's not a huge deal, here though your Trampler is your base and all of your loot is inside of it -- and there are many mechanics of breaching (raiding like in Rust) it.

So gameplay wise it's more like Sea of Thieves meets Rust. You can highly customize/build out your base, and take it on a journey.

This is exactly what comes in mind when see these machines.
Looking forward to it. Even though i am not into PvP aspects like in SoT or any other PvPvE type of games. But i think i will try to handle this one.

it's that adrenaline of knowing you MIGHT have some PVP while doing PVE that gets us going

Looks really cool. Always loved the idea of walking bases. Sadly PVP doesn't interest me at all, and thus never tried Oasis.

My only hope is a chance of a PVE server / mode. But doubtful. You wouldn't believe how many PVEr's there are out here looking for awesome games like Sand.
But anything with PVP just draws out trolls and ganking. Anything to ruin other peoples fun, is what many set out to do.

Loved Last Oasis, and sea of thieves, particularly the "going all around doing multitask while in combat on your machine" aspect.
Shame that LS failed to maintain playerbase tho, hope this one will prevail

My only recomendation would be to get the capped servers since u open the game, what made LO be dead is uncapped servers with zergs controlling everything and killing small groups, adding 5 cap or 12 cap on servers would be the smartest choice in my opinion.

Love the SoT meets Rust, but acknowledges LO's positives.

LO had the potential to be huge, but poor development choices nuked it at its prime. Right out of the gate, even if we're doing 1:1 LO comparison, the Dieselpunk/Steampunk idea gives you SO many more options to explore. But then add in, as you've stated DEV side, its more SoT meets Rust you open even more doors.

Take note of what all of those inspirations do well, and what they did poorly that kind of plateau'd their growth and you have a solid recipe for success option.

A hybrid of those 3 games spiritually has a lot of potential. We're looking forward to it.
