We've got a special treat for everyone; the TAGLINE soundtrack is now on steam! The original soundtrack features 43 futurist tracks full of sampling, scratching, and manic flair. Each song was composed in the wee hours under electric candlelight; they're short, but pack a mighty punch and are deliciously loop-able!
Non-Commercial use of the songs is permitted, but please try to credit us if you use the songs in your class projects, video essays, obituaries, or whatever else you manage to cram them into!
A big thanks to our amazing fans on our discord server. Here's a friendly reminder to leave a review for the game on steam, it helps us tremendously so please leave positive review if you enjoyed TAGLINE!
Enjoy, The NOTH Team
The "QUICKPLAY" Update!
Eat. Sleep. Run. Repeat!
Alex and Oscar here with some new content and bug fixes. Quickplay, a restart key, and the mysterious mouse clicking bug!
We are introducing QUICKPLAY in this update; a new option on the main menu which allows you to play any challenge you've encountered in the story. You'll be able to pre-select abilities and swap saves if you want to change your character upgrade status. Your global high scores will be tracked on this page.
Smaller updates include the much requested restart key. Hold down TAB (bindable) to instantly restart challenges and task terminals, no more fumbling through the pause screen! A fair amount of players reported mouse clicks not registering in game. This ended up being an issue tied to windows witchcraft. Please report if the issue persists!
We've got a small but mighty list of bullet points this update!
Added QUICKPLAY to the main menu, find challenges in any save file to unlock them here!
Added a RESTART button, holding this down will restart challenges and task terminals.
Fixed a bug where mouse clicks would not register for certain players.
Fixed a bug where certain bindings would be overridden when loading into zones.
You all have been incredibly helpful; please keep your eyes open for any further issues and let us know on our discord server. Feel free to post your times on our Speedrun.com page and share your progress with us! Keep sending us your feedback and help us out with a positive review. Thank you all for the support!
See you at the finish line, The NOTH Team

Remember that leaving a positive review does wonders for us! Thanks for your support!

Hello all!
Alex and Oscar here with some fixes and updates for TAGLINE! We've had a great influx of players who have been committed to speed running the challenges in the game.

Releasing Soon! / Important Updates for BETA Players.
Hello all,
It's the NOTH team here again with some news you've likely heard already; release day is just around the corner! After a 4 year journey TAGLINE will be available to play on the 5th of October!
To avoid some complications between Demo and Full game builds we are making tweaks which will erase save data for BETA players. Don't fret! - if you do wish to keep your BETA saves, you can keep them from getting erased by changing the following names in your game directory:
C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Local\Tagline\Saved\SaveGames Change any file tilted "Save" 1/2/3etc. to "Slot"1/2/3.
This should keep your saves from being wiped with the latest update. Beyond this there's little more to say except thank you for a fantastic year of support! As you can imagine, we've been working on updates, polish, and loads of content the past month; so we've gotto catch some shut-eye!
See you on release day! The NOTH Team
Demo Difficulty Balancing
Hello again!
It's the NOTH team (Alex and Oscar) with yet another patch to improve the TAGLINE demo! We've gotten a lot of feedback we wanted to address, mainly regarding difficulty. The demo was presenting mid to late game challenges; so we took a look at balancing.
Note your saves will be deleted; but this is probably the last time the demo is affected. At this point in development the demo will be receiving less love; most of our time moving forward is going to be focused on getting the game release ready!
Here's a list of some notable tweaks:
Adjusted spawn rate and score requirements for combat.
Changed properties of Waveform, Compressor, and Reverb to assist in combat:
Perform headshots with Waveform for a damage bonus.
Reverb shots can penetrate through targets.
Compressor weakens enemy defenses.
Balanced terminal challenge difficulty.
Minor visual bugs fixed; muzzle flashes, particles, ect.
Small bugs, balances, and inconsequential things!
As always thanks for playing! Make sure to wishlist the game and tell your friends; every new player fuels our fiery pilgrimage towards release!
