| Apr 3, 2013 at 15:25 | comment | added | Beofett | Oops, I didn't realize that was the same link... sorry! I can't say I've read an exhaustive breadth of steampunk literature, but from what I've seen, there are three general categories: those that build upon steam technology exclusively; those that have steam technology in direct competition with one or more newly emergent energy sources; and those that have steam technology working in tandem with "magic" energy sources. | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 15:17 | comment | added | Alenanno | I have seen that page (it was linked in my question) but I was wondering if there was more. Thanks anyway. :) | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 15:15 | comment | added | Beofett | Not off-hand, but keep in mind that steampunk is arguably more about the aesthetic than the energy source. Of possible help might be wikipedia's page on Cyberpunk Derivatives, which mentions thinks like dieselpunk and biopunk. | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 15:01 | comment | added | Alenanno | I see, so there are many. Do you know of some online resource where the most common are listed? If not it's ok, but it doesn't hurt to ask. :D | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 14:57 | comment | added | Beofett | It really varies so widely from specific work to specific work. Certainly there are other sources of energy beyond steam in many of them. For instance, China Miéville's Bas-Lag world incorporates both steam energy sources and magical sources (such as 'crisis' energy). | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 14:29 | comment | added | Alenanno | A side question: could a story be steampunk, clockpunk, teslapunk, etc simultaneously? And also, I'm aware of that source but I was wondering if there were more and how they are obtained. | |
