The Ship: Full Steam Ahead is a steampunk murder game on Kickstarter
We're still not entirely sure that we get steampunk as a whole, but generally speaking the Joystiq staff is completely in favor of fancy dresses and revisionist historical storytelling. The Ship: Full Steam Ahead looks to have plenty of both, or at least it will, provided its Kickstarter fundraiser is a success.Currently in a pre-pre-production conceptual phase at Blazing Griffin in Scotland, Full Steam Ahead is actually a sequel to The Ship, a non-steampunk multiplayer murder mystery PC game. Like its predecessor, Full Steam Ahead will be available on PC and will task players with finding and killing other players before said other players kill them – only this time, steampunk.The fundraiser, which has another 58 days to go as of press time, hopes to raise £128,000, which shakes out to about $206,732. Pledge levels ranging from £4 to £4,096 grant everything from heartfelt thanks, to a full three-night VIP getaway to the Full Steam Ahead launch party in Edinburgh.

We are only showcasing them as they pertain to WoW. As there are fans of all platforms here, we know that you will make your choice based on your own preference. In addition, despite the image on Olibith's video before you play it, it is harmless.)The World of Warcraft Bitfilm Festival nominees are really working hard for their votes!

We previously wrote about their chance to win 1500 Euros earlier this month.The first one on the scene was Olibith, with a sentimental video about the contest, set to the Carpenters. Next up was Baron Soosdon, letting you know that if you don't vote for him, a "terrible curse" will fall upon you. The only one missing was Dopefish, whom I had to chase down to make a video in order to be fair.If you have any suggestions for WoW Moviewatch, you can mail them to us at machinima AT wowinsider DOT com.Previously on Moviewatch ...See the Olibith and Dopefish vote videos, as well as a full list of the nominees after the jump ...
