Well what the fuck is it? Seems to me to be a mishmash of Steampunk and Cyberpunk aesthetics slammed into a wall of the earlier 20th Century. Basically between 1900 and 1940. I like the sound of it, and I've heard that Skycaptain and the World of Tomorow is considered to be very Dieselpunk, but is that it? Others say Mad Max. Any ideas /s/teampunkers?
how come a year ago when i was talking about dieselpunk i was told it was made up and there was no content and now all the discussion, so i propose a /d/ieselpunk board once again.
>>1276 A fair enough proposition these days, now that we're slightly more alive. Look forward to me adding /d/iesel in the near future. God, I might have to redesign the navigation interface...

Dieselpunk is more like Nazi-ufos + Raygun gothic meets WWIIMostly WWII themed things and the fear of atomic war...
>>1308 Hooly wow. Source/More?
>>1310I'm pretty sure it's some Polish guy from CGSociety, look for it there.
Crimson Skies is sometimes considered Dieselpunk, but I think that apart from the planes there isn't much Dieselpunk in it. Cars, buildings and other technology pretty much stay as they were in that era....Imo DP is set in 1920 - 1940 and has the Noir-thingy like>>525 said.Also robots, machines look sleek (few to no exposed gears) gangviolence, possible prohibition, cities are dirty...
Well, by request of this thread, there is now a /d/-Dieselpunk. Enjoy folks.

What do you mean nor punk ?I don't consider that there is punk in steampunk.
>537 I was thinking along the lines of gloomy dystopian miasma that was dubbed cyperpunk for the futuristic stuff and steampunk for the Victorian stuff.

>516 I've never really seen that sort of stuff as true, core steampunk. All mark twain is is an example of fiction from that era, that utilised the modern transport of that era. One would hardly say that because Murder on the orient express contained steamtrains it was an influence on the genre. Not enough sci-fi or fantasy too it.Admittedly, specific storied may be influenced by the situations within the novels, they really have nothing to do with the genre other than the time they are set in.

In my opinion, Steampunk should not contain fantasy, only sci fi element, as it is a subgender of sci fi.
Or more precisely, must contain sci fi but can contain fantasy even thought it's not necessary.
I've always seen Steampunk as more of a Sci-fi genre, with a vaguely lovecraftian-styled undercurrent of fantasy.
>No.602 The above-mentioned A Night In The Lonesome October is an example I guess of the Lovecraftian mythos in a Victorian pastiche. I don't see scifi and fantasy as totally opposing; I was always under the impression that Steampunk was just another subgenre of Alternate History whether it had a fantastic or scientific bent.

Let's not forget the argument that one culture's technology might be another's magic.
Nor should we forget the argument that one culture's esoteric system of magic might be another inventor's research.Happened all the time chap.

Just that website in general. Thanks for the link Archie.
thanks for that amazing post!
I think it was beautiful!
Was this Mecanique Vivante's work? If so, they're the same group who created the Sireoles - motor-driven, musical sirens. Either way, this performance was immensely interesting.
I remember watching this, it was incredibly captivating. The story behind this was so interesting that it got me interested in such performance arts.

>>460You sir, lack imagination.
>>1274Agreed.I can see that kind of procession moving down a hugely overcrowded street, with people haning from balconies that go several tens stories up, people waving flags, and generally enjying themselves. Airships overhead in a yellow evening sky, trailing bunting fro their hulls, and poorly recorded marching band music blaring from battered metal speakers atop lamp posts.(apologies for the typos - it's been a damn good night :))

Elaborate.
Yeah so. Crappy concept sketch ahoy. False screen name because I don't want people chasing me, just some tips.Anybody here know how gears and such work? If so, the image linked in this post needs a look over to see if it could make sense. The gyre replaces burning coal - it powers the boiler the same way, so don't mind about that. Fantasyfag aspect.The file there <---is the same ship.Anyway: http://yfrog.com/0v05062009164128j

So /a/, this show needs moar love :( Why do you continue to neglect it, /a/?
Too busy working on a thinking engine, my good chap.
This 2nd pic jogs this memory I have of an article I read once. It was about a guy from ~about the turn of the century or the 1920s, cant recal exactly, who can be credited for envisioning the internet. I think he had even built some prototypes perhaps... Maybe that was just my imagination. But he was thinking like crossing the telescope with the telegraph and hooking it up to a library of pages. I'm sorry I didn't get the guys name. I think it was a book review, so maybe I'll run into it someday
>>389 That was actually visualized in "Souls In the Great Machine" book of the Greatwinter trilogy. But I remember the real-life bit of it too from somewhere.
