Salt Meridian

Trade, broadsides and the trade winds. The West Indies, anno 1718.

A pirate trading MMO where the sea is real: ships float on the waves you see, sails pull on the wind you feel, and the captain decides who takes the helm. Crew a raft or command a man-of-war, run sugar and silk between islands, and keep one eye on the water.

Nightmare Engine

You are somewhere underground, and you are not alone.

A finished first-person horror game, built on our own engine and its old-school look. The lantern keeps you sane and gives you away. The creature hunts by sight and sound, and moves faster when you are not looking at it.

  • Lantern, sanity and a creature that learns where you are
  • Hide, set traps, and doubt what you see
  • Our own engine: retro rendering, creature AI, hand-made creature audio

  • A voxel workshop: Energy Builders forge hard-light shields, decoys, armour and rides; Gadget Heroes build drones, exosuits and street rovers
  • Share and trade blueprints in the player market
  • Solo or co-op on the same server-run city

How we work

I

Real, not faked

If a ship heels, it is because the wind pushed her. If a cannonball lands short, the sea rose under it. We build the thing, then we measure it.

II

Made by hand

Our own models, our own creatures, our own music. The Salt Meridian title theme was written and produced by Kölja.

III

Played, then argued over

Every build gets sailed, screenshotted and picked apart before it goes anywhere. What doesn't hold up gets rebuilt.
