* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Professor Charles Winslow, formerly of Prescott Standard Industries. The last straw was converting Automen for military use- he'd intended them to help reconstruction efforts. He designed a lot of other tech including the bikes, the ''Corsair'', and Autorevolvers.
* [[Development Hell]]: ''Damnation'' began as a total conversion mod for ''Unreal Tournament 2004''. It missed its original scheduled release date by several months and was released in an obviously unfinished state.

* [[Steampunk]]: Though [[Darker and Edgier]]. [[Word of God]] is they dropped the "whimsical surface decoration" typical of the genre and designed weapons and machines built to withstand a brutal frontier world. Damn near ''everything'' runs on steam, including many of the guns.
