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 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",[1] and Astral Gates were "shadowline nexus". The shadowlines were presumably based on ley lines.

Mentions

  • The Shopkeeper narrated an old version of the tutorial that refers to the game as Shadowline.[2][1]
  • Kelvin may reference a shadowline when upgrading his Ice Path.[3]
  • In Viscous' background, the Bermuda Triangle Astral Gate is described as a "shadowline nexus".

Caldera_trooper map tour

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.
