'''''Shadowline''''' was an early development version of ''[[Deadlock]]''.

== Overview ==
Not much is known about ''Shadowline''. It was presumably a transitional version from ''[[Neon Prime]]'' to the ''Deadlock'' [[The Cursed Apple|Cursed Apple]] setting that existed in 2022-2023. The web domain ''playshadowline.com'' and twitter account ''@PlayShadowline'' were registered in November 2023.

In this version, the [[ziplines]] were called "shadowlines",<ref name=":0">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Shopkeeper|file=Guide the map lanes.mp3|transcription=There are four lanes, each with a shadowline that players can ride to move quickly.}}</ref> and [[Astral Gates]] were "shadowline nexus". The shadowlines were presumably based on [[wikipedia:Ley_line|ley lines]].

== Mentions ==

* The [[Shopkeeper]] narrated an old version of the tutorial that refers to the game as ''Shadowline.''<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Shopkeeper|file=Guide the map welcome.mp3|transcription=Shadowline is a 6v6 strategic shooter, where gunplay, fast-paced movement, power progression, and unique heroes collide!}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
* [[Kelvin]] referenced a shadowline in one of his voice lines when upgrading his Ice Path. The voice line has since been removed.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|quotes=Kelvin/Quotes#Abilities_2|transcription=Sometimes, you don't have access to the shadowline.}}</ref>
* In [[Viscous|Viscous']] background, the Bermuda Triangle [[Astral Gates|Astral Gate]] is described as a "shadowline nexus".

== Caldera_trooper ==
'''Caldera_trooper''' was a [[map]] found in early builds of ''Deadlock'' that presumably started development during the ''Shadowline'' period. It had a similar layout to ''Neon Prime's'' map, but with new lighting and assets from what would later become the Cursed Apple. Caldera_trooper was last compiled in July 2023.
