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?
Personally, I think of it more as an alternative name for whatever-the-fuck genere that the two Crimson Skies games take place in.
It's steampunk but steam engines replaced with diesel engines (/IMHO)
Then again, I feel that Deiselpunk always had a bit more of a Noir setting to it. Sort of like that Animatrix short... The Detective was it?
I agree with Clauss.Generally seems to be the sound of it.Maybe a bit more emphasis on capitalism and industry.

If steampunk was how the 19th century actually was, then dieselpunk is how the early 21st century would have been like.
Steampunk is more Victorian eraDieselpunk is WW1-Interwar period-WW2-and perhaps a little after too.The style differences and technology differences are very clear in reality and those can be built upon for the fantasy worlds too.

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...

>>1263 This would be my understanding of what it means too.

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.
