Adrenaline-pumping gore retro funhouse that’s full of guns, magic, demons, vertical arenas, 3D visuals, 2D sprites, and heavy metal music. Inspired by FPS classics like Quake and Doom 64, Project Warlock II is the explosive boomer shooter sequel you were too shy to ask for.
[h3][b]Hey, Warlocks![/b][/h3]
[b]Welcome to the Chapter 1 Rework update! It is a long one, so we hope you prepared some snacks![/b]
We've been cooking this one up for a while, and after hours upon hours of meticulous playtesting we're finally ready to release the Chapter 1 Rework for Project Warlock II.
We'd like to take a moment to thank all of our Playtesters who provided feedback during this extensive playtesting session. Whether it was here on Steam, in the Survey, or in the Discord channel, massive thank you to everyone who contributed to this update. Your help is immeasurable.
Ever since the idea of reworking Chapter 1 came up, our goal was to expand and emphasize on what makes the game a proper sequel to Project Warlock. We've taken a couple of pages from the original game, upgraded them to modern standards, and incorporated them into Palmer's Campaign. In the Reworked Chapter 1 you will now gain experience and level up to improve your statistics, purchase perks, and upgrade your arsenal of weapons and abilities.
[h3][b]Chapter 2 Info[/b][/h3]
Also, as per our previous announcement, Urd's Chapter 2 with Wargression has been moved to a separate branch, as it does not represent the game we want Project Warlock II to be. The reworked Chapter 2 with systems cohesive with Chapter 1 is currently in the final stages of development, and will move into playtesting phase really soon. Our goal is to retain the progression systems present in the Reworked Chapter 1 and rework Urd's arsenal, while keeping the distinction between each chapter present within the game. Below please find a sneak peek of one of Urd's new tools...

[b]Accessing the previous version of Chapter 2:[/b]
If you would like to check out the retired Chapter 2 (with Wargression system) this can be accessed by following these instructions. Please be aware we will not be developing Wargression build further, and we're leaving it for preservation purposes:

To switch back to the current version of Project Warlock II, select "none" from the dropdown list and update Project Warlock II.
[b]Disclamer regarding save file after this update:[/b]
Due to the extensive scope of the changes introduced to Weapons, Progression, Level Design, and Level Geometry in this update, the pre-rework save files are not compatible with the reworked Chapter 1, hence you will need to start your adventure from the beginning. Your current saves will be moved to the "OLD" folder in the "Steam Saves" directory.
[b]Accessing the previous version of Chapter 2 using existing savegames:[/b]
If you have a save file from Chapter 2, and would like to continue your playthrough on the dedicated branch, follow these steps:[olist]
[*]Switch to "chapter2_wargression" branch, using the instructions above
[*] Launch the game
[*] Close the game
[*] Navigate to the C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Project Warlock 2\Steam Saves\OLD directory
[*] Manually move the save files from the "OLD" folder in the "Steam Saves" directory to the "Steam Saves (Legacy)" folder in the "Project Warlock II" directory in "My Documents"
[*] Launch the game
[*] Load up the desired save file from the game menu
[/olist]
When it comes to the upcoming Chapter 3, the groundwork for Kirsten's campaign has already been made, and the development process is going well. We will be able to share more news regarding Chapter 3 after the release of Reworked Chapter 2 this Summer.
