Luc Bernard has recently released the first screenshots and details about his next iPhone game SteamPirates.

The story follows Kat a human who was raised by the Cat Empire. After she found out that she wasn’t a cat (she just thought that she didn’t have any fur or a tail), she went out to the seas to find herself (it left her deeply traumatised). A few years later once she comes back, the Cat Empire is now ruled by Captain Purrrrrrrkos who is trying to take over the oceans.
Kat must then decide to either stay loyal to the ones that raised her, or join Ze Pug Rebellion.

SteamPirates is described as a turn based RPG game featuring:

• Ship Battles (upgrade your ship and fight with it)
• Ground Battles (normal character battles like in a final fantasy)
• Travel to different weird locations (such as Cat Cove, Neo Orlans, Beaches, Mermaid Lairs)
• Fully Hand Drawn Animated game
• Go on various quests such as saving rockstars from sea eating monsters, getting flowers for dog smelling bars, etc…
• Classic JRPG with Western Influence
• Funny ridiculous storyline

The game is being developed by the team behind Mecho Wars and will again feature an orchestral soundtrack by Sean Beeson. The main theme from new game has been provided and sounds pretty epic.
Bernard, was responsible for the turn based strategy iPhone game Mecho Wars that has long been promised an online multiplayer update. He reassured that the long awaited update is set to be submitted within the next few days and it will feature 4 different online modes, push notifications, Open Feint integration and the ability to play up to 20 matches simultaneously.
