  Dev. Diary 4. Scorch Town

  In this diary, we wish to lift the veil of secrecy and talk about one new location that will be coming into the game in the next update.We are speaking about Scorch Town, a city on the edge of the wasteland.There, it stands tall amidst white‑hot sand, cliffs, and rusted oil rigs. A bastion of civilization built in the name of progress, extracting black oil through the marvels of technology and iron will. With time, it became the symbol of technological supremacy and the rational mind of the world.It grew around drilling rigs and a train station that connects it to other parts of the new continent. There is always something happening there, a constant flow of oil, hardware, contraband, and people.On a first glance, you could make a mistake thinking that this is nothing more than just a hub for mining and processing. But there is so much more beneath it. In this city of contrasts, every lighthearted moment can turn into tragedy in mere moments. Joyful lighting hides an ever‑growing social pressure. The atmosphere of rebellion is in the air, luring and testing anyone who dares to visit.And this is the place for the yearly conclave of hellfires, who come to create a magic fair of flame and sorcery, as they challenge the entire city to a symbolic duel of viewpoints. In a world where magic and technology have been clashing for a while now, Scorch Town becomes one of the hot points of philosophical and political struggle.That’s where our new quest “Thunder in the Desert” will lead you - right into the middle of the action. Try your luck at the fair, and experience the heat of the conflict for yourself. And if you dare, you can even try to uncover the mysteries that this city tries so hard to conceal.To be more straightforward, the main things you will be able to do here are:Take part in festivities! Have fun while you can.Delve into the new location. This is an entirely new setting that offers quite a few landmarks to explore.Involve yourself in the underlying conflict of ...

  Dev. Diary 3. Quests and Robots

  Greetings, Magicians and Technologists. New Dev. Diary is here! This time we want to show off some of the coolest things we’ve made for the game. Robots! But before deep diving into the world of machines we want to share the first insights about the upcoming content update. Unexpected guests From BeyondWe’re working on a new content update to the game, and two things stand out the most:A new location. A diesel themed town that was featured in our first dev. diary! A unique storyline to go along with it. This includes new quests that introduce a different side of the world, along with a host of new characters who will help you explore it.As development progresses, we’ll be sharing more information about all aspects of the game in future developer diaries.But there are things that we can talk about in more details. Our metal friends that you will encounter a lot in New Arc Line.Those who work, fix, help… and drinkIn the world of New Arc Line, machines become an integral part of the city’s landscape, its habits, and even its character. From the moment you arrive on the Continent, you’ll find them everywhere: in hospitals and laboratories, on the streets and in the ports, and even in the darkest back alleys.These mechanical helpers are so deeply woven into society that it’s impossible to imagine progress without them.The City Where the Gears Never Sleep. While some robots sweep the streets, repair cobblestones, or polish people’s boots, others work in factories, adjust steam valves, and deliver parcels. They know no fatigue, ask for no payment, and, most importantly, never complain about their supervisors. Which is a good thing, right? Let’s take a closer look at a few of these models. Each one a unique piece of the everyday life of New Arc Line.Street CleanerIts brass joints squeak with every movement, and a thin trail of steam rises from the tank on its back. The cleaner works tirelessly, sweeping the cobblestones, keeping order and tidiness in the streets of the city...

  Dev. Diary 2. Technical Updates and Transports

  Hi everyone! Today we return with our second dev diary! And in this one, we want to talk about two things:First, give you a concrete update on the development of the game - something that was sorely missing last time. It's more of a technical update, but we want to demonstrate that behind the scenes we are working hard to make the best game possible for you guys to enjoyAnd second, to just to show off our work on the various types of vehicles we've made for the game. A lot of cool concept art and screenshots there! Technical UpdateWe’ve recently migrated New Arc Line to Unreal Engine 5.6. This was an important technical milestone for the project and a necessary step for future development, especially as we push bigger scenes, denser environments, and more demanding visuals.The engine update required a significant amount of work. Over the past several months, the team has been focused on:updating and adapting core systems to the new engine versionrestoring functionality that temporarily stopped working after the migrationstabilizing performance, builds, and content loading after the upgradeWhy UE 5.5 and 5.6 matter for usUE 5.5 baseline: better rendering performance and higher fidelityBy moving through 5.5 on the way to 5.6, we’re also inheriting a set of major upgrades:Lumen performance leap, improving real-time lighting while helping maintain smooth frame rates in complex scenes.Major improvements to runtime streaming of static content, plus the Fast Geometry Streaming to load more immutable world geometry faster while keeping frame rates steadier.Additional streaming-related engine work like asynchronous physics state creation/destruction, reducing hitching when content streams in/out.Updated 60 FPS–oriented device profiles, reducing setup friction and giving a stronger performance baseline on current-gen targets.Wider performance work with new GPU profiling tools, including renderer parallelization improvements. Mass upgrade perspective (better crowds over time)W...

  The Architectural Heart of New Arc Line: A World of Progress and Pressure

  Hi everyone! It’s been a long time, eh? Don’t worry, we’re still out there, continuously working on the game all day, every day. But we thought it would be a good idea to share a bit more behind-the-scenes stuff with you in our new Dev Diary series. This article is the first of many to come, and if you want a particular theme of the game development explored, tell us in the comments! We hope you’ll find this one an interesting read. And keep in mind that the 20% discount is available till the beginning of January. -New Arc Line Dev Team Steampunk in New Arc Line isn’t about Victorian gentlemen with teapots. It’s dust on goggles, sparks flying from welding torches, the blaring horns of locomotives, and the endless flow of machines, fuel, and raw materials. The game’s visual identity lives at the intersection of industrial realism and myth. Architecture and technology are not just scenery, they’re integral to the world’s central conflict. In New Arc Line, where magic clashes with technology, the environment is one of the most important elements of the atmosphere. We’ve created diverse biomes to emphasize the scale and contrast of this world. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44588423/9b4e8c52f6b709bf7a9d8b08e0e2f83b08a0a373.png Each region isn’t just visually distinct - it reflects the ideologies of the factions and the events driving the world’s story. At the beginning of the journey, the player finds themselves in a bustling urban setting: crowded streets, seaport chaos, a festive mood, and the protagonist’s hope for something grand and beautiful. But reality hits harder and sooner than expected. We’ve worked to embed lore in every detail of the world. When it comes to environmental storytelling, everything matters: buildings, banners, signs, transport, robots, clothing, all of it speaks to how this society is evolving under the pressure of progress and revolution. Whether you’re wandering through a noisy fairground, a secret underground lab, or the base of a frozen fortress - the...
