About Waterline

Earth's magnetic field failed a long time ago. The solar wind has been peeling the atmosphere away ever since, and the water went with it, boiled off into space. What's left is a world of exposed seabeds, salt basins and mountain ranges that used to be coastline.

You have a ship, and nowhere to be. Description

Built on real Earth elevation and seabed data, Waterline takes the sprawl of a classic space sim and folds it onto a single world.

Features (Game is in active development, but here is what is already completed)

"Old World" map spanning Scandinavia and Europe to Africa and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge built from real-world elevation and ocean-floor survey data
