Hey Warlocks!

Following yesterday's update, we've identified and fixed an issue where player movement became inverted, causing players to move in the opposite direction of their input.

This should no longer be the case, and movement should now respond correctly to your controls at all times.

Enjoy, and see you in the next one!

Hey Warlocks,

Following up on last week's announcement, we're ready to roll out the newest update for Project Warlock! This update addresses some of the issues highlighted by the community, introduces gameplay improvements, and should allow you to enjoy the remaining week of Project Warlock's Best Deal Ever at 90% knowing that you can't fall through the elevator shaft anymore! Also - do share your feedback regarding the new Weapon Wheel - we're keen to know what you think.

Without further ado, here are the patch notes:

Unity Engine Upgrade

• Updated the Unity Engine version from 5.6 to 2018.1.9f2
  This change improves overall performance and was essential to fix elevator physics and player interaction issues

Gameplay Improvements

• Added Weapon Wheel as an alternate weapon of weapon switching for both the mouse + keyboard and controller setups
  
• Mouse Scroll Weapon Switching polished and improved
  Resolved a bug that caused skipped selections due to inconsistent input logic

Achievements

• Changed the way "Evil Nightmare" achievement is obtainable - From now on the "Evil Nightmare" achievement is rewarded for Single Life Mode as it always should have been. Also, achievement descriptions have been updated to properly fit the difficulty modes.

After the reworked difficulty modes update, these achievements were granted for completing each mode:

• Casual - Piece of Cake
  
• Standard - Come Get Some
  
• Hard - Bring it on!
  
• Hardcore - No achievement
  
• Single Life Mode - No achievement

We're changing things up to better reflect the current state of the game and difficulty modes, and bringing the achievements in line with how they were intended to be obtainable. After this patch, the achievments will be granted as follows:

• Casual - Double-edged Sword...
  
• Standard - Piece of Cake
  
• Hard - Come Get Some
  
• Hardcore - Bring it on!
  
• Single Life Mode - Evil Nightmare

Due to the nature of this change, the achievements cannot be automatically granted retroactively. However, we have successfully tested a solution that allows us to indirectly grant the Evil Nightmare achievement to players who didn't receive it after their victorious playthrough.

If you beat Project Warlock on the Single Life Mode before this update and did not receive the Evil Nightmare achievement, you can send a request with attached save file to j.cislo@buckshotsoftware.pl to have it added to your account. The save file is located in this directory:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Buckshot Software\Project Warlock\Steam\STEAMID
We will be able to alter the save file in a way that you will be granted the Evil Nightmare achievement after launching the game. Please note that this solution is for players who completed the ultimate Project Warlock challenge but were not awarded the achievement due to technical issues.


Final Boss Balance Adjustments

• Adjusted boss fight phases for better pacing and balance:
  • Phase 1: Maintains a solid amount of HP
    
  • Phase 2: Slightly lowered the HP pool due to phase-ending animation
    
  • Phase 3: Slightly reduced HP
    
  • Phase 4: Retains high amount of HP
    
  • Phase 5: Lowered HP for a smoother "final blow" phase
• Added more ammo, health, and mana pickups throughout the level

Elevators

• Elevator system has been fully recoded for better performance and stability
  
• Fixed occasional issue of falling through the map
  
• Solved jittering when going up the elevators

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where dynamite would travel unpredictably when strafing around
  
• Fixed Sonic Rocket Launcher projectile rendering issues
  
• Fixed the elevator staggering and making sure you cannot falll through

Thanks again for all the feedback, bug reports, and support. Based on your feedback we've identified some more areas to improve on - and will continue doing so. And for now:
