Building elements are described as having a high degree of freedom, allowing players to design ideal homes.

Glowbug Games unveiled 'Seaforge: Shores of Atlantis' with a trailer on July 30, presenting an open-world survival craft experience set in the mythical sunken civilization. The game supports online co-op for up to four players, though one source lists the player count as three, indicating a possible discrepancy in early materials. Players begin after a shipwreck, waking on forgotten islands that hide the lost ruins of Atlantis. During the day, they dive to gather resources from underwater caves, ruins, coral reefs, and dangerous deep-sea areas. These materials are used to build simple structures, such as a thatched-roof house, to survive hazardous nights. The game includes a progression system where players unlock blueprints for Atlantean weapons powered by solar energy, and they can construct greenhouses to grow mysterious plants that produce food and energy. Boss battles feature creatures like giant sandworms, and players must also purify insect-infested islands and recover ancient powers. The developer's comment compares the game to Subnautica and Valheim, suggesting a hybrid of underwater exploration and combat-building loops. The title is planned for early access on Steam, but no release date has been set.
