Like its predecessor, <em>Full Steam Ahead</em> will be available on PC and will task players with finding and killing other players before said other players kill them - only this time, <em>steampunk</em>.<br /><br />The fundraiser, which has another 58 days to go as of press time, hopes to raise &pound;128,000, which shakes out to about $206,732. Pledge levels ranging from &pound;4 to &pound;4,096 grant everything from heartfelt thanks, to a full three-night VIP getaway to the <em>Full Steam Ahead</em> launch party in Edinburgh.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/01/the-ship-full-steam-ahead-is-a-steampunk-murder-game-on-kicksta/">The Ship: Full Steam Ahead is a steampunk murder game on Kickstarter</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:30:00 EST.
