Steam-Front is a FPS multiplayer modification set in a steampunk world being developed for the forth coming Unreal Tournament 2007.
-----------------------------
Features:
The feature list is far larger than the following, rest assured we have a few tricks up our sleeves that we’re not quite ready to reveal.
- Steampunk Setting: An old-world setting with a breathtaking feel!
- Steam-packs: The action no longer takes place on the ground – take to the skies with your steam powered jet pack!
- Levelling: Added Strategic Depth!
- The Military and the Air Pirates: Two completely different warring factions to play as – will you join the devastating Military or the outcast Air Pirates?!
- A play style for every gamer: choose to fight as the quick and nimble Sharpshooter, the highly trained Soldier or the ‘flatten-everything-in-his-path’ Blaster class!
- Vehicles: Mount steam powered vehicles for an added advantage on the battlefield!
- Unique Weapons: Civil war era weaponry beefed up with steam technology!

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!

We are proud to announce the latest mod in development for Unreal Tournament 3, Steam-Front.
With a unique steampunk setting, Steam-Front puts you in control! Join a technologically advanced military machine and become a warrior that embraces the future of warfare... or a devastating Air Pirate set to make a mark in the kaleidoscope of battle opportunities. Embrace the choice between three classes, and a reward based levelling system for added strategic depth. But, these are only minor details! The feature that really sets us apart from other mods out there is the fact that you are no longer expected to keep the fighting on the ground; every soldier has a steampack strapped to his back which allows you to fly for short periods and take the battle to the clouds!
Development has been quietly underway for a number of months. Almost all of the player concepts are now completed and modelling is well underway, so expect more updates in the very near future!

Definitely Dead :(
sounds dead :(
Looks Great! I like the style, drawing style. Its pretty far fetched and original :D .
Hey, sounding like an awesome mod, can't wait to try it out. Further elaboration on the Steam packs feature would be nice in an upcoming update. As of now I'm thinking Tribes esque? As well as shedding some light on the reward/levelling system. Persistant or no?
Wish you good luck on your mod, I'll be following it closely. Steam punk? Consider me a fan already. It truely is a nice change from all the cyber punk mods everywhere... so... good job!
Steampunk? I'm so in!
Awesome art :> Makes me want to get back into drawing.
Not at all. Other than it having a steampunk theme and some aeronautical elements, they're nothing like each other. I can see where the confusion would come from as we haven't released enough information to give a clear understanding of the game play mechanics to date, but rest assured in about two weeks time you'll find out everything you want to know :)
thats cool ... ive been looking around for a UT3 mod i can join, i had just left a mod for UT2k4 ... it went pretty well with development ... but not many people played it, the game is already dying :( ...
if i can't find a team i like ill probably go off and join forces with some freinds and make something with them :P ...
i have my own ideas ... but i lack coding experience to do it on my own -_- .
is this pretty much like a mechanized Air Buccaneers? :/
Hey everyone and welcome to Steam-Front!
In the coming weeks expect to see a huge update, we’ve almost completed all of our characters design concepts and we’ll start to release a huge amount information on the game play and mechanics as well as model renders.
Our team is continuing to expand and we’re all excited to see how this project develops, so please stay tuned!
