A panoramic view of Central, the main hub in City of Steam.

Although this scene is rife with detail and interactivity, the architecture and terrain are generated procedurally by the free Unity3D Web Player from a single 2.7 megabyte file that only needs to be downloaded once. A wide palette of reusable level elements lets us create huge environments with a minimal footprint, an ideal combination for a browser-based MMORPG.

City of Steam is a browser-based, free-to play online RPG set in an industrial world poised to rediscover the mythic forces that shaped its history. Clockworks, steamworks, combustion, and alchemical principles suffuse the nations and people of the World Machine, pushing heroes and villains alike toward a dangerous secret that could change everything.

  • Impressive for a browser-based game. So will this be a themepark or sandbox game?

  • @gabbyair As far as gameplay goes, CoS plays like a theme park model, but we have plans in place to be very receptive to player input and suggestions as well as adding interactivity to major world challenges. Our system is dynamic and allows for changes and we'll just have to see how it plays out with more testing and input from players. Opportunities will exist for players to vote on quest lines, in-game newspaper content and other pieces as we expand.

  • Im all for this game!

  • @TobyBathory Thanks, we're all also very excited here. It took years of work to get this baby up and running but it looks beautiful. Still needs quite a bit of polishing but we're getting there!

  • Wow, browser game? Seems nice.....

  • @crazyappler Yes it is! It'll run without any large downloads or install. All you will need to have installed is the Unity 3D webplayer plugin.

see all

  • How long did it take you to do all this?

  • @Aeolistify

    Heh, just wait till you see it from ground height with the weapons and magic flying around the joint. It's been quite a long time in the making, but I for one am exceedingly proud of what we've achieved technologically.

  • @TheCityofSteam Interesting, definitely impressed with the emphasis on player input, don't see that much nowadays. Looking forward to it!

  • If this turns out to be legit, colour me impressed.
