Hey y'all! It's been a while.

Episode 2 drops NEXT MONDAY! October 31! If you haven't already, check out the trailer.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

While the update drops next week, that doesn't mean we can't give you a last-minute sneak peek at some of the stuff you'll see in it.

[h2]Weapons[/h2]

Last time we showed off the plasma gun. This time? Telefragger.



A sniper rifle that teleports you into the enemies to gib them from the inside out. Why would you ever use anything else? Oh, right. Because you'll also be able to ride this beauty.





Duke's bike ain't got nothing on this.

[h2]Are we sure this is Paradise?[/h2]

Not much to say here, but here are some of the places you'll be sliding and shooting your way through on Monday.











[h2]Target Practice[/h2]

And some of the enemies.



Remember the blade-legged runner from a few months ago? This is what he looks like now.



This fella's got a fresh coat of paint too.



You may also meet someone else out in Paradise...



In case you missed it, we also released an Episode 2 commentary with the developer, some of the audio staff and the legendary GmanLives. Check it out to tide yourself over until Monday.

See you in Paradise on October 31!

Custom mapping tools have arrived in Turbo Overkill! Now you can create and play custom levels straight from the main menu.

Turbo Overkill Custom is implemented with Steam Workshop. You can subscribe, download, rate and publish directly inside Turbo Overkill. This is only the beginning of mod support for Turbo Overkill.

The current tools are still considered Alpha. We will be taking on feedback from now until the 1.0 release on how we can improve and extend this feature set.

Check out our official guide on how to setup custom maps.

[h2]Steam Cloud Saves[/h2]
We've overhauled the save system to be a bit cleaner.
Steam Cloud support has also been added.

[h2]Launcher Level 2 Upgrade[/h2]

The upgrade to the Launcher is brutal, allowing the user to preload up to 4 rockets for maximum damage.
You can acquire the rocket launcher by purchasing it from a Weapons Station in the levels Ascension, Rooftops and Artifact-Zero.

[h2]Bestiary Added[/h2]

Want to know more about those fools you keep gibbing? Check out the Bestiary from the main menu!

[h2]Don't forget to smile[/h2]
We've added 5 new Photo Mode poses, along with a few minor tweaks to the Photo Mode system. Much more to come!

You can view the full patch notes below:

[h2]Main Features[/h2]

• Rocket Launcher Level 2 Upgrade
  
• Steam Cloud saves added
  
• Level Editor added
  
• Custom Mods menu added, tied with Steam Workshop Support

[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

• Added option to disable low health sound effects
  
• Crosshair hit marker UI

This patch includes a big refactor of the last level, Artifact-Zero.

After receiving a lot of valuable feedback, we decided to go back to the drawing board on a few things. The level has been stream-lined for more clarity on where to go, and a lot of the frustrating sections have been replaced with something a bit more fun. We hope you have a blast!
