Hey Warlocks,

We have been busy around Warlock Projects lately, and that work helped us solve a frustrating bug that has been present across the franchise for a while now. Today, we are ready to implement the fix to Project Warlock II, and give you an update on bringing it to the original Project Warlock as well.
Back to Solid Ground
The main focus of this update is a complete re-design of Character Collision. For a long time, we have been getting reports of players clipping through the map and falling into the void. We tried to patch it a few times before, but we could never quite figure out the exact root of the problem.
Due to a complex convergence of curious circumstances (meaning: “we aren’t really sure why”), the "falling through the floor" bug appeared much more frequently in Project Warlock: Lost Chapters. Having a way to actually see it happen consistently meant we could finally figure out what was causing the issue in the first place. Character Collision turned out to be the prime suspect and the script was rewritten. Today we’re ready to introduce this fix to Project Warlock II, and we’re working on a way to bring it to the first Project Warlock too.
Bringing this fix to the first game is not a simple matter of migrating the code. While Project Warlock II and Lost Chapters are both built in C#, the original Project Warlock was written in JavaScript. Since the engines speak different languages, we can’t just move the code over and call it a day.
We’ve actually explored ways to introduce a quick-fix based on the one we came up with to Project Warlock, but it led to multiple other problems. Which is obviously a no-go.
We know that the issues of falling through the map actually appear more frequently in the first game than they did in the sequel, and we’re determined to squash that bug once and for all. To do it right, we’ve already started the massive task of porting the original Project Warlock over to C#.
It’s a lot to juggle while we’re technically working on three projects, with one still in the development, but it’s a necessary step to modernize the first part of the series and finally make the floor solid again. We’re making steady progress and will let you know as soon as we have more news to share.
Changelog:
Character Collision: Completely re-designed to eliminate the "falling out of world" issue
Visual Fixes: Resolved an issue where certain on-screen effects, such as fire, were not visible
E2M9: Fixed a section of the fence that was missing
E1M4: Fixed a specific area where floor collision was missing
Until next time!

Hey, Warlocks!
Over the last few updates, we’ve been steadily introducing performance fixes and optimizations. This time, we went all-in. With this patch, we’ve done a big performance sweep, turning our focus behind the scenes to make Project Warlock II run smoother, faster, and more stable.
While those changes happened deep under the hood, the results should be clear in-game: higher FPS on average, reduced stutters, and better overall stability across all systems.
Performance Improvements
This update targets performance from multiple angles - enemies AI, scripts, input handling, and more.
Updated Unity Engine to version 2019.4.41.f
Monster AI Optimization
Optimized monster movement, senses, and overall AI routines to reduce CPU load during busy combat scenarios
Item and UI Script Optimizations
Reduced performance overhead from item script and weapon sprites
Enhanced UI responsiveness and enemy lifebar behavior for less impact on frame rates
Input Manager Optimization
Better, faster, and more reliable input handling for a smoother feel across the board
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Beam Staff, Laser Rifle, and Laser Minigun projectiles would veer left instead of firing straight when aiming at the sky
Fixed an issue on Steam Deck where no save slot was highlighted when entering the save menu
Fixed an issue where keyboard prompts would appear instead of controller prompts on Steam Deck
This patch is part of our ongoing mission to make Project Warlock II run at its best. You should now see improved performance across the board, from steadier frame rates to a more consistent gameplay feel -especially in heavy combat situations.
We’ll continue keeping an eye on performance and tuning things further, but this update marks a big step forward in making the game smoother and more stable for everyone.

Until next time!

Hey Warlocks!
This week we've taken another look at monster hitboxes and made improvements to many monsters across all chapters to ensure more accurate and responsive combat. Here's what that means:
We've implemented general improvements to hitbox placement and size for most enemies across all Chapters.
For flying monsters like the Cacobot (Chapter 1) and Demonface (Chapter 2), we've specifically changed their hitbox type from body to head. This means every shot you land on them will now register as a headshot - pretty fitting, since they're essentially just flying heads with guns!

Hey Warlocks!
This Project Warlock II update focuses on balance adjustments for Buckshot Revolver, slight life steal nerf, alongside a specific level difficulty tweak and various achievement bug fixes.
Balance
We've implemented the following balance changes:
Weapons
Buckshot Revolver:
Added damage dropoff:
Effective range is now 8m.
Maximal range is 50m. (These ranges will be monitored and adjusted if necessary.)
Reduced damage per pellet from 60 to 25.
Buckshot Revolver Balance Details: The Buckshot Revolver is intended for close-quarters combat. It should deal full damage up to 8 meters from monsters. Beyond 8 meters, damage will begin to decrease, requiring more hits per kill. Between 8m and 50m, the damage output will be noticeably lower, and beyond 50m, the Buckshot Revolver will be very weak. This encourages the use of other weapons at longer ranges.
Life Leech (General):
Decreased Health amount per steal from 10 to 5.
Decreased Health steal chance per shot from 15% to 10%.
Dagger Life Steal:
Decreased Life Steal chance from 50% to 25% per hit.
Steamer Ammo:
Added more Streamer ammo pickups to Chapter 3.
Levels
E1M6:
Adjusted the difficulty on the Shambler Arena. A Pigdaddy spawn was changed to a Pigdemon, and its position was adjusted.
Bugfixes
The following achievement issues have been addressed:
Achievement "All Secrets E3M9": Added a missing Secret trigger to E3M9, allowing this achievement to unlock correctly.
Achievement "All Secrets E3M12": Added a missing Secret trigger to E3M12, allowing this achievement to unlock correctly.
Achievement "Demons Doing their Thing": Fixed an issue where this achievement would not unlock under the intended conditions.
Thanks for the continued feedback and all of your bug reports – it really helps us make the game better for everyone.

Hey Warlocks!
Here's another update for Project Warlock II with improvements based on your feedback! This patch brings important improvements for Steam Deck, the first batch of your ever insightful loading screen tips, and fixes for several gameplay issues that have been reported since 1.0 launch. We're also working on performance optimizations that will arrive in future updates.
Loading Screen Tips
Again - thanks for all the submissions! From the 100 tips already in the game, we're now rotating 25 of them weekly while keeping the others in the regular pool. This approach ensures players see fresh content and gives different tips a chance to be featured prominently. We're still accepting more tips to expand the collection! Submit them here.
Added the first batch of new Loading Screen Tips from the community
Steam Deck Support
We've improved the Steam Deck support based on the community feedback and Steam requirements.
Remapped some of the default key bindings (we suggest resetting your key bindings to default once you download the patch)
Improved text readability
Improved automap visibility
Fixes
As we work on addressing issues that have been reported since the 1.0 launch, we're ready to introduce fixes for several important problems that have been impacting gameplay. This update focuses on resolving specific gameplay issues, exploits, and balance adjustments.
Temporarily removed Camera Sway Effect - will be re-added later as a toggleable option
Removed hitboxes from all lanterns to prevent exploits that could cause players to fall out of world
Fixed an issue with Cannon where holding fire (LMB) and activating Akimbo would cause the weapon to become unable to fire during Akimbo
Fixed an issue with Urd's Magnum Pistol where it could apply higher fire rate without purchasing Alt Fire
Fixed an issue where headshots would consume the first bullet from the chamber for Urd's Magnum Pistol and Revolver
Fixed an issue where Kirsten's Void Staff and Void Streamer pull effect could drag monsters outside the arena and map boundaries
Fixed an issue where monsters could teleport out of arenas, blocking progression
Fixed an issue where Elite Humans could spawn - there's no need for their elitism
Audio balance adjustments - music in the arenas is now properly audible
Performance Update
We're continuously working on improving the overall performance in Project Warlock II. While this patch doesn't include performance optimizations, we want to keep you updated on our progress. This is a larger process that will take multiple patches and extensive testing to get the performance dialed in just right. We're planning to roll out these optimizations gradually rather than pushing everything at once - this approach helps us minimize the risk of introducing new problems while we work to eliminate FPS drops and other performance issues.
See you in the next one!

Mortar Altfire Adjusted
The altfire’s multishot count has been reduced from 5 to 4.
HUD Update
You’ll now see an Akimbo Duration Bar added to the HUD to give you better awareness during dual-wielding mayhem.
Bug Fixes

Enter Realmshift

Hey Warlocks!
Since we first announced that each Warlock Disciple would have their own dedicated chapter in Project Warlock II, the idea was always to allow characters to visit the other worlds. Making it happen though was a bit of a different story. After months of behind the scenes work we're ready to deliver the Realmshift mode for you guys to enjoy!
Realmshift lets you break the boundaries of the story campaign and play Project Warlock II in an entirely new way. Want to blast through Chapter 1 as Kirsten or tackle Chapter 3 with Palmer's arsenal? Now you can! But Realmshift is more than just a character swap - it allows you to play through all Project Warlock II Chapters with fully unlocked arsenals, expanded weapon capacity, and Hard Mode enabled from the start.
Without further ado, let's jump into the Patch Notes
NEW GAME MODE: REALMSHIFT
Realmshift allows you to play any chapter with any character. Simple as that. This mode is unlocked after completing Story Mode (previously "New Game").
The unlock system works retroactively, so anyone who has completed Chapter 3 before this update will have an option to start Realmshift from the get-go, as the completion tag is not included in individual save files. So if you've already completed Chapter 3, you'll have immediate access to Realmshift without needing to replay anything!
Note for players who haven't completed the entire game: Each Chapter unlocks after beating the previous one. To unlock Chapter 2, you need to complete Chapter 1 (defeat the boss and finish the final level). Similarly, to unlock Chapter 3, you need to beat Chapter 2 (defeat its boss and complete its final level). After successfully completing Chapter 3, Realmshift becomes available.
Realmshift Features:
Start with fully unlocked arsenal and abilities
Purchase both weapon upgrades and carry 12 weapons instead of the standard 6
Weapon and ability pickups are replaced with additional weapon upgrade tokens
Access new weapon variants after purchasing both upgrades and alt-fire upgrades
New weapons appear in a dedicated category in the upgrade shop
All Realmshift playthroughs include Hard Mode enabled from the start
Universal ammo pickups that provide ammunition for all weapon types
VISUAL & AUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
As you might have noticed, all Chapter 3 weapons have received a complete visual overhaul to better reflect Kirsten's character
New weapon cooloff sounds for Kirsten's arsenal
Improved audio mixing and music volume balance
LEVEL DESIGN
Added new decorations to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 to increase overall aesthetics
Improved some geometry elements in various Chapter 3 levels
GAMEPLAY & BALANCE UPDATES
Reworked Laser Minigun primary fire - Now spools up before shooting for improved weapon feedback
Reworked Laser Minigun alt-fire - Now creates a static field that damages enemies over time
Re-worked Laser Rifle projectile visuals and mechanics - Now hitscan with projectile color reflecting weapon heat
Sped up door opening speed in Chapter 3 and disabled automatic closing
Improved Chapter 3 door visibility with new textures
Added weapon buff when hitting the correct cooloff timing window
Added new firerate speedup mechanic for the Sceptres in Chapter 3
Added Magnum Pistol variant without the scope for Urd before buying the scope upgrade
Overall weapon balance adjustments
Reworked fire damage calculation to prevent overpowered interactions
Knight and Turbo Knight melee resistances are now consistent
Updated rune quests objectives to make them more challenging
Increased Robosatan's Health from 2000HP to 5000HP
USER INTERFACE
Existing tutorial screens were temporarily removed, as they will be replaced in time for the 1.0 release
Further improved button selection visibility in all menus
BUG FIXES
Fixed Beam Staff projectile origin issues with Akimbo in Palmer's Arsenal
Corrected long-standing texture warping and misalignment problems (Start of E1M6, church windows in E1M4)
Mouse cursor is now properly constrained within the game window in fullscreen and windowed mode
Fixed premature boss music triggering in E1M5 before the Turbo Knight encounter
Resolved melee weapon interaction with destructible secrets in E1M1 and E1M4
Addressed various FPS drop issues
Fixed distorted Frost Audio looping
SFX no longer audible when volume is set to 0
Corrected Heavy Rifle alternate fire functionality
Improved projectile hit effect positioning in geometry and decorations
Realmshift has been one of our most requested features since Project Warlock II entered Early Access, so feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think on the Steam forums or our Discord server. We can't wait to hear about your favorite character-chapter combinations.
Until next time!
