LanoraeGEAR

There is something I’m still having issues with that I should have mentioned before. Nothing that will prevent me from posting my submission for the event but just for future references. This is concerning the time era this should take place. The journal about the worlds says, and I quote, “The aesthetics of LanoraeGEAR are a mix of Victorian and industrial. Vests, ball gowns, top hats, and the like are peppered with gears, mechanical additions, and goggles. However, some influences from as late as our 1920s may be found as well -- particularly in the aristocratic classes.” And that’s all well and good but while looking around the site I stumbled upon this comment you made: “To be honest, the setting is fairly similar the Bioshock era (if you are familiar with those games) with some remaining traits of the Victorian era that makes it a mash-up of Steampunk things, so there's quite a bit of variety as to what you can do.”

Now I want the record to be clear I have no preference for ether setting. In fact the reason I ask this question is because im intrigued as to what era is closest to the setting. Whatever is best is good but the Bioschock timeline is heavily influenced by the turn of the 20^th century. I ask because these are two very distinct time eras and the society and culture would obviously be influenced by it.

So the main question I’m asking is what time era is the world of LanoraeGEAR? Is it more industrial or is it closer to the early 19^th hundreds?

And I apologize if all this seems like a stupid question.
