Project Warlock II News

Hey Warlocks!

It’s time for a content update!

We’ve heard your feedback regarding character progression, and ways to customize your playthroughs. We’re introducing 2 new ways to do so, by adding Perk and Stats Systems.

Those features should spice up your playthroughs and make them more interesting. It should also give you an incentive to try out all of the combinations! And if you really like something you see, make sure to capture the moment with brand new Photo Mode!

Keep in mind, that there is no save wipe, but for best experience with the new patch we recommend to start a New Game!

We've also prepared an updated Roadmap. We've managed to put a check mark on all of the sticky notes planned for Chapter 1 and the work on the Chapter 2 is in full swing. We're also looking at reworked Roadmap for 2023, so keep you eyes peeled!



Check out full patch notes:

[h3]Stat Shop[/h3]



Player stats are a new type of upgrade within the game. By collecting stat points, players can spend them in a stat station on increasing different damage efficiency types.

Those include:

• Melee damage efficiency
  
• Firearm damage efficiency
  
• Frost damage efficiency
  
• Fire damage efficiency
  
• Explosive damage efficiency
  

[h3]Photo Mode[/h3]



Photo Mode is a new addition which allows the player to pause the game and take photos in real time while playing at any time. The time is stopped, and players can take pictures of the chaos at the moment of taking the picture.

There are multiple options:

• Mouse Mode and Camera Mode
  
  
  
  
  • Mouse Mode enables Cursor and allows to change filters
    
  • Camera Mode disables Cursor and allows the camera to move freely.
    
• Game Logo Overlay (4 corners to pick from)
  
• Camera FOV
  
• Pixel Shader Filters
  
• CRT Filters
  
• Color Filters
  
• Color Correction
  

That would be it for today. We hope you enjoy new features, and make sure to let us know how your playthroughs are going with the new systems!

Please let us know if you still have issues with the fonts, or any other aspect of the game!

Welcome to the first update of 2023!

In this Difficulty Levels Patch (game version 0.2.7.74) we’ve added 2 brand new difficulty levels to Project Warlock II. Namely: Come Get Some and Ready to Die. We want to deliver a much more challenging gameplay to those looking for intense, action packed, and deadly (really deadly) experience!



The Difficulty Levels Patch brings not only new difficulty levels, but also an overall balance to the two existing ones. Each Difficulty also grants a different score multiplier so if you want to crank those combo scores up, make sure to play on the highest difficulty you can.

Spoiler alert: This includes mini bosses, so if you’ve encountered an Umbershambler in the past, now he may be accompanied by his Turbo Knight bodyguards.



Shamblers and Ubershamblers should me more of a threat now thanks to balancing and improvements to their AI.

This patch also brings an overhaul to the music in the first episode!

Most of the level tracks were reworked and extended - each having almost 10 minutes thanks to Jerry and Luke!

E1M1 is now accompanied by a new music track, titled GATHERUM 5 - it's a great throwback to the music from Project Warlock. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Go and check the new and difficulty levels for yourself and be sure to share your thoughts on the forum and our official Discord! All feedback is welcome and most helpful in improving the game.

As always, please leave a Steam review if you enjoy the game as it helps us in reaching new players.

That’s all for today’s update, we’d like to wish you a Happy New Year filled with wonderful adventures!
