Broken Lines Weekly Digest - The Fantastic Third Edition
In last weeks edition of Know your Squad we re-introduced Conner to you. It was a reintroduction as Conner featured as the main character in our Teaser Trailer, be sure to watch it if you haven't seen it already! For this week, our focus is on Hailey, the squad medic!
This unorthodox medic will be vital to keeping the squad alive, which is interesting as her real talent seems to be ending the lives of others.
Will you be attending Gamescom 2019? We sure will be! Head on over to the Indie Corner in hall 10.2 to meet us, get some awesome swag, and try out the game!
The reason why the Know your Squad segment of our weekly digests is so important is because the characters will respond to the players decisions with their own approval or disapproval. The player will need to find a way to balance this as, if a characters disapproval rating falls too low, that character may abandon the squad and desert. Players will be able to see what the characters think of them by looking at their portraits. Check out these work-in-progress examples to see what we mean.
And finally, to wrap things up with a laugh, weve got another example of what happens when game development takes a hilarious turn! In one of our earlier tests, we somehow managed to convert one of the characters into what can only be described as a mutated version of Fantastic Fours Mister Fantastic, (do you see his stretching powers?).

Character Emotions
The reason why the Know your Squad segment of our weekly digests is so important is because the characters will respond to the players decisions with their own approval or disapproval. The player will need to find a way to balance this as, if a characters disapproval rating falls too low, that character may abandon the squad and desert.

Game Development Fun

The squad has crash-landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of Eastern Europe. With no officers, no leaders, and no intel, they must find an unbreakable resolve if they are to survive.
But with only their training and instincts to guide them, survival becomes a difficult goal. First of all, they need to learn to work together to have any hope of coping with the challenges ahead.
Each survivor has their own views on what to do, and their own principles on what is acceptable. Some want to investigate what caused their crash, others want to stay low and avoid detection by the enemy. There are even whispers of desertion.
It is your task to be the unseeing hand that will guide this ragtag group of soldiers through their struggles. Make your decisions wisely, for they will have real consequences on the fates of the survivors.
- Tactical RPG with diverse characters. Experience the story through the eyes of each soldier as they fight for survival in an alternative WW2 setting.
- Turn-based planning with simultaneous execution (WeGo turn-based gameplay)
- Authentic tactical choices: suppression, destructible cover, realistic ballistics, and camouflage are at your disposal.
- Rogue-like campaign structured with different narrative paths, resources, and permadeath.
- A challenge for even the most experienced gamer. A far-reaching moral system means that the soldiers may desert at any moment if you prove to be incompetent.
- An emotional story, tense atmosphere, and multiple endings based on the decisions that you make.
“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may
be; for without victory, there is no survival.”
― Winston Churchill
