2020 is here, so we’d like to wish everyone out there a Happy New year. 2020 will be a big year for us as we’ll 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.

Broken Lines talks with Venture Beat
"PortaPlay considers Broken Lines a “war noir” in some respects, focusing on the mental states of the soldiers [...] It’s an intriguing setup, and I’m eager to give it a look-see later this year" - Jason Wilson, Venture Beat

Broken Lines Community and Beta
We are looking for beta testers to play through the game, find bugs and tell us what you feel needs improving.
If you think you are up to the task, sign up here for a chance to get into the beta program!
Please note, signing up does not guarantee a beta position as the spaces are limited.
Furthermore, if you want to talk to the developers, get to know the other people playing Broken Lines, or simply want to learn more about the game, join us on Discord today!
The Developer Diaries on YouTube
As we’re reaching the end of the development process for Broken Lines (we’re mainly sorting out bugs now) we’ve 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 game’s harder modes!
Check them out in our YouTube Channel.
And that’s it for this week’s news blast, we hope that you’ve enjoyed it! If you have, please consider following us on our Social Media platforms for more Broken Lines content:
