After the break up of Earth in 1913, only a few settlements have survived on the flying remains of the planet held in by the weak gravity of what used to be the core. Charlotteville is just such a setlement. It survives mostly by trading, but does have its own water purifier/condensor. The buildings are relicts of the Pre-Breakup world, being built in 1897. ____________________________ May update later. The buildings are inspired by the architexture of my own small Southern town in North Carolina, USA. This game is part of a genre called steampunk, that is somewhat like scifi.
