Steampunk (or a variant thereof) is my genre of choice, and I believe to be the next big 'fantasy'.
Oddly enough, we pitched it around to all of the major publishers, and some not so major ones. We have a completely working demo. The ability to create your own characters and costumes, select and move, issue orders, hit points, etc. Sadly 'Marketing' doesn't find steampunk appealing, thus finances aren't given.
My game was an MMO/RTS hybrid. Personally, I think if we had the funding to get it off the ground it would have been a mini-success, but of course I'm biased. 
Screenshots can be found here.

WTF?
Can't believe no one has been interested in this....
Wish I had the money to support you in this, but unfortunately I don't 8)
Another option is to make it open source and let the community take care of it while still maintaining control over it, but I guess it's not an option? Pretty sure a lot of people would love to put their hands on this...
