"Welcome, travelers from the Old World… and beware!"

You are about to step into New Arc, a city where the arcane and the mechanical don't simply coexist but, in fact, clash in an epic struggle for supremacy; two titans on the edge of a cliff, each trying with all their might to throw the other off. A precarious balance that could be toppled by even a small push from an unexpected direction. Every nook and cranny whispers secrets here, and every step you take could either drown you in trouble or shower you in gold.


Forget everything you thought you knew about magic — in New Arc, it's not just a bunch of spells, cantrips and incantations. Here, magic is a faith, a bona fide religion with various branches and sects, each vying to pull you into their embrace. And the technologies? These range from billowing steam engines to bone-shaking electromagnetic gadgets. It will be up to you to select which you master, how you use them to change the world around you, and which side you join. Will you endeavor to make New Arc a technologists' utopia or help the magic users reshape it into a haven for the arcane arts?


Beyond the confines of New Arc, other cities and regions await, scattered across the continent of the New World. Journey through biomes ranging from enigmatic, fog-covered swamps to expansive prairies trodden by cowboys and gunslingers. Delve into mysterious crevasses where daylight doesn't reach, or scale the snow-capped mountain peaks where the echo of icy winds guard ancient legends. Explore underground labyrinths and celestial cities; every corner of the continent contains secrets, mysteries, and dangers.


Our world teems with races, each with its unique characteristics, cultures, and quirks. Numerous and diverse, from the prolific dwarves to pixies suffocating in the pollution of industrial cities. Take the elves, for instance: forget the stereotypical forest-dwelling, bow-wielding culture… the elven people of New Arc are the eldest of races, from which all others are descended. Though in decline after the collapse of their ancient empire, they chose not to fade silently into the night nor to take vengeance on the younger races. Instead, they focus on communicating with their ancestors in voodoo-like magical rites and restoring the foundations of their culture. Perhaps more than others, they are torn between progressive ideals and established traditions.


Traveling through the New World, you'll face not just trolls, gigantic kraken, or dragons guarding their hoards, but you'll also get swept into the whirlpool of political intrigue. Elections here are not just a game of musical chairs but a battle of minds and ideals, where magic and technology become but pieces on the board of a grand game.


New Arc Line is full of opportunities and adventures, and every action you choose leaves a mark on the map of the New World… and can lead to unexpected outcomes! Whether supporting a particular faction, developing technologies or magic, and then finding a balance between them… all of these decisions affect the balance of power and the lives and the fate of ordinary citizens. Be ready to take responsibility for your actions and expect many unforeseen twists in the plot.


In New Arc Line, every legend can come to life, and every fairy tale can become reality. Join us on this thrilling journey, where your choices, skill, and a roll of the dice determine the future of an entire world. We cannot wait to see what stories you will carve out for yourselves once the game launches. For now, don't forget to wishlist it so you don't miss more of these updates that are on the way, and if you'd like to hang out and chat with us, we will be happy to see you on the official Discord server[discord.gg]!

Greetings, esteemed Mages and Technologists alike!

Excuse our short period of silence, we have been tinkering with the technological marvels of game development. And you know how easy it is to lose track of time like that, it's almost like being under some kind of a spell.

Either way, this absolute laser-focus on work allowed us to make great strides forward in making New Arc Line. While the game is by no means ready yet for the full public spotlight, we will be running a closed, private playtest soon. We are at a stage when we need to gather feedback from a smaller group of players and fans, and we want you to be a part of it!

If you would like to be present even in these early development stages and leave your mark on New Arc Line, we cordially invite you to join Fulqrum Publishing's Champions program - this will allow you to play the alpha version of our game soon, when we start our closed playtest. Just send an e-mail to champions@fulqrumpublishing.com and they will prepare you to embark to the New World!

CURRENT STATUS: There is currently no New Arc Line playtest happening nor is another one scheduled yet. There are however playtests of other Fulqrum Publishing games happening regularly in the Champions program, so if that is of interest to you, feel free to contact the mentioned e-mail address.

Whether or not you join the Champions program, rest assured - we will have much more info and content to share with you soon. As a small token of things to come, here is an automaton to keep you company:
