Very pretty art style. Hope the story and gameplay can do it justice. Is this still coming out this year, or did it get delayed to 2010 like everything else?
@ChibiteraSuperSonik: Cool. Good idea on the developers' part. I definitely heard it was supposed to come out this year, or I could just be really tired this morning.
This twin dark + light worlds in a steampunk setting was best done by Chris Wooding's Broken Sky series, I always thought. Kids books or no, the ideas and setting he made were fantastic.
This, however, looks awesome in a way of its own. I'll keep an eye out.
But yeah, he's a good author for ideas in general. His adult fantasy & steampunk stuff has been very good also; in particular The Braided Path trilogy and Fade, but his upcoming novel Retribution Falls appears from excerpts and previews to be something of a Steampunk Firefly. So yeah, can't recommend the Wooding enough!
As for steampunk/clockpunk in games, FF6, FF7, FF9, Fable 2 and Bioshock hit all the right notes for me. FF9 more than the rest. While obviously the twin worlds thing was done well in Link to the Past, Metroid Prime 2 (and presumably Twilight Princess, though I haven't played it). This is the first instance I can recall of the two concepts being together in a game, though. Thus my interest.

Edge's "Of Twilight"
and a kind offer to sell them the license to Edge for $100 Billion!
I'm still hoping that EA screw this guy for every penny he has over the Mirror's Edge / Mirrors by Edge thing.

*goes to check but is too lazy to report back*
EDIT: *actually I have a minute...*
I see TBA 2010 pretty much everywhere. From what I could find in 30 seconds, anyway.

Wow, someone else remembers those books? Damn, I loved those so much, and the ideas were indeed amazing.
