Project Warlock II News

Weekend at Warlock's

Hey everyone,

This was a busy week for Project Warlock II, as we're nearing the moment where you will be able to play the game. Between working on the current build of the game and fixing bugs that tend to appear in soon to be released games, rethinking certain design choices thanks to supportive friends (hey, Dave!), working on the demo (what DEMO?), and finishing marketing activities we also took part in certain initiatives that you guys might find interesting



1. Realms Deep 2021 event

Project Warlock II was featured as a part of the #RD2021 event, where we debuted a gameplay video alongside 160 other excellent retro-themed games. This was also the first time ever we showcased a longer section of gameplay with no image and sound manipulation. So - the gameplay you see is taken from the actual build of the game dating around three weeks' ago (submission date). In the gameplay below you can see footage from Episode 3, halfway into Palmer’s adventure. You will be able to see spells in action, a lot of shooting and enemies that get bisected, blown to bits, shotgun-beheaded and filled with lead in their full pixelated glory. We aimed to show the game in it’s full on balls to the top action mode.



2. Collector's Edition

That was the moment where we announced - amongst other things - Project Warlock II's Collector’s edition that's available right now. This is something you can get your hands on provided you like kicking things that are starting.



3. First ten minutes @IGN

On Sunday an exclusive preview of the first level in action (first ten minutes) aired on IGN showing the slightly tweaked version of the first level. Tweaked as in – having a Hard level amount of enemies with Standard difficulty level behaviour and health levels. The game is still in testing phases, but you can see the way Project Warlock II currently plays. You can check out environments, gunplay, an upgrade and different effects showing the game in action. Played by no-one other than Kuba - @PWarlock_dev himself.
