"Clockwork Empires” Steampunk Builder Coming to PC in 2014

The guys behind the critically acclaimed Dungeons of Dredmor, Gaslamp Games, bring narrative-driven colony building sandbox game called Clockwork Empires. Players will be able to get their hands on it in 2014.
Players should know that the new game will take them into a brilliantly handcrafted steampunk dystopia, where they will get in the shoes of a Junior Bureaucrat (Colonial Grade) whose job is to seek promotions, fame as well as natural resources to feed the ever-hungry maw of industry and commerce. 

One will be able to experience the possibility of building immense colonies with magnificent and luxuriously decorated houses, cathedrals, pubs and so much more. 
Even the characters are created in a very interesting manner, each having its own personality, motivation as well as secrets.

When things go wrong, it is up to you to save everyone and you will be rewarded by the Empire with medals, promotions and titles worthy of a true politician or you can choose to fail, let everything crumble and still be rewarded in the true Bureaucratic fashion.

Lead producer and CEO of independent developer Gaslamp Games Daniel Jacobsen said that “The uniqueness of building this world inside the Empire is the ability of the player to do what they want, including the freedom to fail: we’ve given characters an incredibly intricate set of tools allowing them to construct a world and unleash cosmic horrors in vast, complex ways.” 

Furthermore, he went on to say “The player is left with their own choices for his or her characters - there are rewards and consequences for each action. Eventually it unravels into a remarkably entertaining character-driven cataclysm filled with incredibly horrifying-yet-delightful possibilities – death, disease, prosperity, science and more - without a true victory condition.” Therefore, one can see that gamers have a choice when it comes to how to play the game. You don't need to save everyone if that is not what you wish for as this world is dictated by you.

The powerful Sharing Technologies will provide players with the possibility of uploading their personal creation the Heliographic Aether. This will allow other Bureaucrats to continue building and expanding the linked colonial megaprojects.
