I'm curious to see how the preferences go without the factor of $$$ involved. So let's have it, what would you want it to be?
This is of course unofficial and will have no effect on the actual game, I'm just curious to see if anyone other than Herr Baron Moneybags actually wants a historical theme.

I voted historical, because I can think of dozens of awesome settings to put a good beat-em up in.

Post-Apocalyptic Cyberpunk falls into the general category of Futurisitc/SciFi. So, both.

What? No steampunk? I demand an option where everything is powered by steam. I love steam so goddamned much. It's why I take extra-long showers. Steam totally rules and is a completely viable and logical method of power distribution.

Why so much love for the 80/90s theme? Didn't we get enough of those brawlers in the 90s with all the Final Fight clones? I would much rather see something that hasn't been done to death.

I suggested that as an option originally, really shocked it wasn't an option. You think if there is any situation that makes sense where 1 person should be able to take out masses of enemies it's stupid slow zombies.

Anyways I wanted the atmosphere of a Streets of Rage/Final Fight with way more moves. I wanted to pay respect to the time period and poke fun at it as well. Also I wanted to see some of today's pop culture represented as enemies etc.Beat Em Up- Streets of Rage 2

You have MAME. No zombies please, that's the dullest thing possible. And it would be especially stupid to watch them fighting well--or did you just want them to stagger around like sacks of potatoes? Golden Axe has skeletons too, close enough. Originally Posted by The Coop

I suspect WM has a fixed definition of history and the great majority of those defraying it will be disappointed they've no say what portion of history goes into the game. I too would vote for Historical could I select which era but w/o that proviso it goes near the bottom. Not saying it sounds bad at all, rather entirely vague; I wouldn't mind just so long as it isn't Nazis. No more of that shit.
---Technically Medieval is distinct from Historical but since it's shared with Fantasy I wouldn't expect any setting too precise.
Personally I'd go with Futuristic if it meant a brawler based on Phantasy Star. It would be sheer awe.
But since cyberpunk is the most concrete outside of `80s/`90s (which I don't see coming out so well) cyberpunk it is. But if WM makes just another Blade Runner knockoff I'll burn every copy of Pier Solar in existence.

Agreed. I think that this Shower-Brawler should be a concept taken completely seriously. It would also be a worthy use of Australia's up and coming video game R rating. Originally Posted by Joe Redifer

I was a tad disappointed by the lack of a steampunk option, too. And no "cutesy rainbow nightmare brawler" either? Boo. :P
Also post-apocalyptic should have been a category on its own. Many causes of apocalypse, so more choice of different post-apocalyptic settings / characters (zombies, mutants, gangs, aliens? Etc).
I've voted cyberpunk, mainly because I feel there's more chance of an interesting end result than any of the other options (I do agree there's more scope with "historical", but there is also more potential for "boring".
)
