The Roper steam velocipede, built by Sylvester H. Roper in the late 1860s, is widely considered the first steam motorcycle in the world.

The little steam motor ferry between the 2 "sides" of the Copenhagen harbour.. between the naval base and the "civilian" part of Copenhagen port. This would be the 1890s -1900; my estimate.

The bottom floor of the chamber was filled with catapults, every type of catapult ever conceived by gnomes. There were sling catapults, cross-bow catapults, willow-sprung catapults, steam-driven catapults (still experimental – they were working on adjusting the water temperature.

New character! Haven’t made a name for her yet, but I did for her cat lol. More under da cut.

The cats name is Missus Baubles and I love it.

Anyway, this character is more of a designer, and while she focuses solely on clothes, she occasionally helps engineers with putting designs over their works.

I wanted to give her a secretary-esque and art-deco look while adorning classy accessories. Unlike Alicia, she cannot breath the surrounding air very well, hence her ventilation mask.

I've wanted to introduce these fellas for a very long time, but here's my automaton band! I love them alot, they mean alot to me, and I hope you like them too! They used to reside at a fairground decades ago, and nowadays they are retired at the Clarkston Historical Museum. (There's a whole crazy story with what happened between then and now, but that's to be told another time)

Steam Powered: Little Hamster, Big Adventure

I've had my eyes on this game when I heard about it back in around June (it came out in March this year), but I couldn't buy it because I didn't have a computer that ran windows.

But that changed recently and I finally remembered to snag this little game.

PomPom - The Great Space Rescue is a cute little puzzle platformer. It looks kind of like a Mario Game with the Kirby Aesthetic.

The story is pretty simple. PomPom is just running on his little hamster wheel when his owner, Hoshi, comes home with jewels that just fell from the sky! How lucky!

Except not! He's not lucky at all! Because a crew of Space Pirate Cats want those jewels and kidnap Hoshi! PomPom, his lovable hamster, is the only one who can save the day!

Like Mario & Kirby, your objective is to guide PomPom from right to left and reach the end of the stage. But that is where the similarities abruptly end.

PomPom will automatically move from left to right and jump whenever he's at a ledge. Even if there's nothing under him.

Instead of playing as PomPom himself, you control a cursor. PomPom will collect random objects on his path; from gurders to walk under to springs to bounce off of, balloons to ride on, hammers to break platforms, and more! Your job is to stop time, place down platforms for PomPom to platform on, and help him reach the end of the stage without this little hamster getting himself killed.

This game, I don't think, requires cat-like reflexes. I don't know if it's my fat fingers or my greasy hands, but I find it a little difficult to pause the game (spacebar) and set down an object (left mouse click) at the same time. I don't know if I just need to deep clean my laptop or if this game is better with a proper mouse and not a trackpad. (NOTE: You don't NEED to stop time to set platforms down, it just makes it easier.)

My only tip, and it's not really a good one, is that you should save your platform and not use them until you know exactly where Pompom is going. Otherwise, you're either gonna waste something or trap yourself.

Thankfully the game is pretty forgiving. Instead of lives, it gives you second chances for when Pompom dies; you get a nice bubble that gives you a few seconds to place Pompom where you want on the screen. Sometimes, it can feel a little pointless, like you're in a bad position and you can't continue one way or the other. But other times, this can get you out of a really tight spot and give you that one pickup you REALLY needed to make it to the next checkpoint.

At the time of writing, I only beat the first world's levels. But I'm already hungry for more and I want other people to love this little game! If I beat this game, I'll give it a proper score. But from what I played, I think the game's a solid A+!

Didcot Railway Centre: Steam Railmotor No. 93. Detail: Window blind by wwwuppertal Via Flickr: Steam powered railmotor No. 93 is more than 100 years old (built in 1908!). In 1935 it was bereft of its engine and converted into an auto trailer. Thanks to the funding of the Heritage Lottery it could be reconstructed to its original technical state in 2011. Since then it is fully operational again. It bears the name "Clevedon" (after a town in Somerset).

New OC! Info below:

This is Rye Greaves!

A man of persuasion, despite his lack of friendly charm. He uses more intimidating means of getting what he wants, and even if someone rejects him then, there are still more…tangible ways of achieving his goal.

He is the right hand man of the Chairman (lore?…) and many look up to him that reside in a certain organization. (LORE??)

His eyes glow a powerful, chartreuse green as a result of an accident with a dangerous power source in the back alleyways of the nicknamed Steam City (LORE!).

This resulted in the power severely injuring him, but was healed by the Chairman’s associates, turning the accident into a manifestation of strength.

When focusing said strength, his pupils become VERY small, as seen above…that’s all for now…let’s see what happens next.

This piece is pretty self explanatory- I just wanted to mess around with the headshots from their references and put them together in some kind of way!
