Back in 2008 I was tasked with creating the starting player level for a game called Steampunk MMO. It was the start of a new company, funding was in place, and parallel developments on other projects to support a long standing MMO. Unfortunately the source of funding for the project was abruptly halted, one of the main individuals involved was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The project was shelved and the company continued to survive from other projects. We all put a lot of hard work and passion into Steampunk MMO and were all saddened at the end of it's development.
