2020 is here, so wed like to wish everyone out there a Happy New year. 2020 will be a big year for us as well be releasing Broken Lines early this year, so we already have a lot to look forward to!

Game Tip - Movement

In Broken Lines, the soldiers are aware of their surroundings and so will automatically respond to nearby threats. This means that when playing, you will only need to give interesting strategic commands such as where to move, and when/where to use a special ability (like throwing a grenade). With the orders submitted, you hit play and watch as the squad carries out your orders, while reacting to threats. [previewyoutube=GLdrrojMD-M;full][/previewyoutube]

The Developer Diaries on YouTube

As were reaching the end of the development process for Broken Lines (were mainly sorting out bugs now) weve begun to put together a few developer diary videos where we talk about the various mechanics of the game. Other than giving you a good look at what the game plays like, these videos will help you understand how the game works, and give you the edge that you need if you want to challenge the games harder modes! Check them out in our YouTube Channel. And thats it for this weeks news blast, we hope that youve enjoyed it!
