♔ кιякℓαη∂
au version of earth where a lot of technology from ancient times was rediscovered and there was a huge huge push from the mid-1700's on to implement it
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and combine it with steam and combustion engines
♔ кιякℓαη∂
preferred sources for fuel are of course coal and oil that drives the heating of water into steam. in some more "let's not ruin everything with industrialisation" places they prefer to use hydroelectric power
♔ кιякℓαη∂
presumably electricity has been around for at least a century or so
♔ кιякℓαη∂
enabling the use of video terminals and the network and such
♔ кιякℓαη∂
perhaps lightning is also used as a source
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and solar power
♔ кιякℓαη∂
both preferred by airship captains i'm sure
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and airship pirates lolol
♔ кιякℓαη∂
there's also a disgusting amount of magic going on and a lot of clash between old and new
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and the world's major governments are pushing for more control
♔ кιякℓαη∂
so they sell it as being for the good of everyone
♔ кιякℓαη∂
uSHERING IN AN ERA OF PEACE meanwhile we're making terrible war machines yaaaay
♔ кιякℓαη∂
while the general populace of this 'box's location has FREE access to electricity and public terminals and little devices handed out by the government
♔ кιякℓαη∂
they are kept in the dark about a lot of other things
♔ кιякℓαη∂
so I'm thinking there's much less of an emphasis on private capitalism
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and yes, this musebox is set somewhere in the UK
♔ кιякℓαη∂
THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS TO BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLD but
♔ кιякℓαη∂
eh
♔ кιякℓαη∂
and it's not just a commentary on the british empire
♔ кιякℓαη∂
more like a commentary/satire on everyone in the 1800's
♔ кιякℓαη∂
because the world was just going nuts
♔ кιякℓαη∂
so no you don't have the mass communication like news networks but there are certainly lots of newspapers and lots of gossip
♔ кιякℓαη∂
contemplating making it so there was recently a lot of war
♔ кιякℓαη∂
like an early World War but I don't know
♔ кιякℓαη∂
I should hurry up and read War of the Worlds so I can just say "THIS HAPPENED"
♔ кιякℓαη∂
oh god Artie I'm sorry putting all this on your plate
♔ кιякℓαη∂
oh right
♔ кιякℓαη∂
I need to fix the layouts on the comms
♔ кιякℓαη∂
add the coding for the housing page and characters page
♔ кιякℓαη∂
andddd
♔ кιякℓαη∂
i feel like there was something else
♔ кιякℓαη∂
OH YEAH create a mod plurk
♔ кιякℓαη∂
also of course radio has been around
♔ кιякℓαη∂
films are still on reels and at the point they were in the early 30's
