Steampunker is the story of Vincent, an inventor and engineer, who must save the world from the invasion of evil robots. Traveling through grim harbors, fantastical submarines, mysterious islands, a rocket trip to the Moon, and finally a death-defying battle against the robots on their space ship, Vincent risks everything to save the world and make the universe a little bit safer for Science.

Antyweb.pl: 'Graphics are Steampunker's strongest point. The backdrops of locations traversed by our hero, as well as the graphics accompanying the subsequent puzzles and brain-teasers, all create a unique alluring atmosphere. The game is simply stunning.'

Shaun Musgrave, Touch Arcade: ‘Steampunker is a fairly interesting hybrid of point and click adventure and hidden object searching from a developer hailing from Poland. It kind of reminded me of those games that were big in the early PC CD-ROM days. The art style in this one is pretty cool, and for some reason, having a digitized actor in a costume on top of a computer generated background stirred up some nostalgia in me.’

Chiho Komoriya, vsmedia: ‘…the artwork is wonderful! If you love Steampunk, you are attracted by the nostalgic, decadent atmosphere that this has. This is an interactive art work as well as a game.’

Yulia Vakhrusheva, Casual Connect: 'Steampunker is more than a point-and-click adventure. It's suspenseful atmosphere keeps you hooked until the end - it felt like reading an exciting sci-fi book and being part of its story! '

What We Need & What You Get
In order to make Steampunker available for release on iPhone and Android tablets, we need to raise $2000. We listen carefully to the feedback offered by gamers playing the iPad version and with your help we'd like to add several gamer-friendly features in the process. We are already working on it but we need more funding. Once the goal is reached, the improved version for iPad, iPhone and Android tablets will be ready no later than in January 2015. We are proud of the unique graphics and atmosphere of the game and these certainly won't change.
The game will be available for the following devices:
1) iPad: iPad 2 or newer, iPad mini or newer, iOS 7 or higher
2) iPhone: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5,5c,5s iPhone 6, 6+, iOS 7 or higher
3) Android: over 500 devices - Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or higher, minimum resolution 1024x800, minimum diagonal 8 inches
Then we would like to translate the game to several languages including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. The stretch goal is $ 3000 for the first set of three languages: German, Japanese and Polish. The language versions are planned for March/April 2015. Once we reach the goal, we'll start raisinng funds for another set of languages.

As recording musicians we'd like to release the soundtrack on a special limited edition CD. $7000 is the stretch goal for this. If the goal is reached we'll send out the CDs in January 2015.
If we are able to make the stretch goal of $10,000, the design team will also develop an option of playing Steampunker as a female character. It's going to require a lot of work but we hope to finish it by April 2015.

Even if we fall short of our goal, all the funds raised will still go directly into developing Android and iPhone versions of Steampunker. It will simply take us much longer to produce them. Similarly, even if we don't meet our stretch goals, anything raised beyond the initial $2000 will go into funding language versions, but production will be slowed down until we are able to find additional sources of funding. By meeting our target amount and our stretch goals, we can go ahead and get everything done right away. That means more fun video games for you as soon as possible!

All of the above and you in the video game.
If you have a good steampunk photo, we will only adjust colors so it looks like all other pictures in the game (black and white or sepia). If you don't have one, send us any photo of your face and we'll compose it into a picture. You can buy this perk as a gift for someone else but we won't place anybody's photo in the game before we get his or her permission.
$ 1000
All of the above and an exclusive special credit on the game.
Your name will be placed in the credits on the first page, right below the game makers names. You will be able to choose the description - for example"our most generous backer", "Steampunker's main sponsor" etc.
If we fail to raise the whole amount required, each dollar contributed will go towards the Android and iPhone versions. Unfortunately the deadline will have to be extended, as we will need to work on other projects in the meantime.
What makes Steampunker special?
Every week hundreds, if not thousands, of new games are launched. However, steampunk-style games are few and far between, a couple a year at most. What makes Steampunker unique? First of all, detailed hand-drawn graphics, critically acclaimed by the players and reviewers alike. We think Steampunker stands out among many currently popular games just as beautiful steampunk jewellery and clothing stand out among mass-made products. We believe many gaming enthusiasts are already tired of games which look the same and the clones made in one day after a particular title becomes successful and are ready to embrace something different.
What's more, Steampunker also features an original dedicated soundtrack composed and recorded especially for the game.
There is a joke that compares crowdfunding to a pre-order with a 10% chance that the ordered product will be created in the first place.
As opposed to many other projects seeking funding at the initial development stage, Steampunker actually already exists. The game is available for iPads, as that is the original platform for which it was developed. Unfortunately we will not be able to add new features and develop other versions without crowdfunding.
Risks & Challenges
While every game development project faces challenges and setbacks, we have the advantage of already having a completed game, albeit only for the iPad. Our design team has the experience necessary to carry through on expending the original Steampunker for multiple platforms and developing new features funded through this campaign.
Besides monetary contributions you can help us so much by sharing, tweeting, and talking about Steampunker! There are links at the top of the page, below the video, that allow you to easily share this campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.
That will help us a lot. Thank you so much!
