An Overdue GreetingLong time no chat. I've been keeping my head down since the 1.0 launch of Gunlocked 2, staying busy with work, but it's time to reemerge and talk about the state of things now and to come!As I've mentioned before, I've…
FromLefcourtContinuing with some small performance boosts as I zero in on any late game trouble makers now that double the power is available to players. Made some optimizations to how the "allied outlines" shader is handled in-game. Note: If you do…
Patch notesThis update fixes a few issues related to bombs. Most importantly, a memory leak related to the Shock Bomb weapon. This issue could be quickly exacerbated by the new power scaling in the 1.0 update. Bombs are a slow-to-start build that can…
Patch notesFixed an issue that prevented the Backdraft's symbionic from unlocking, related to the recent utility overhaul.
Patch notesI made substantial changes to upgrades and mouse controls in the 1.0 patch, and I didn’t catch every edge case issue that cropped. There’s still some stuff I’m looking into, but these were the most pressing. Balance Shock Bombs now start…

Patch notesPatch 1.0 NotesWe Have Liftoff...Today marks the launch of 1.0 for Gunlocked 2. After nearly 2 years of work (off and on), and 1 year from the Kickstarter, it has reached a place that I'm finally happy with. This update is massive, and…

FromLefcourtOverviewSo here we are, on the raggedy edge. This is the final countdown. Where we're going, we don't need roads. Gunlocked 2 is entering its final phase of development, but there's still a lot to come.So what's left, and when will it…
FromLefcourtThis is a small but significant update. The engine I use has received a major update after a long delay. This has resulted in a few things that needed to be fixed, to be compatible with the new version, but also some small performance…
Patch notesHope everyone had a nice end of year. I took a bit to recharge, but was still mostly working behind the scenes. I just saw some bug reports, and thought I'd address those, and what else is going on real quick-like. The engine I use recently…

FromLefcourtWait, weren’t we just at patch 0.42.00? Yes, but don’t worry, I'm not skimping out. When I created my original roadmap, before launching Gunlocked 2, I had a list of every piece of content, and the order I planned to release it in. But as…
FromLefcourtSuper Shootin Star has officially launched! If you like what I do, and want to help me keep doing it, there's no easier way than this.Every dollar earned goes right back into Gunlocked 2 development. So What is Super Shootin Star?An…
FromLefcourtA previously innocuous fix to replicators and leveling up seems to have caused a soft-locking issue if players reached the maximum cap of 24 unique utilities. This would cause a blank screen at level up. This patch fixes that issue, and…
Patch notesBug Fixes Fixed an issue that could cause the difficulty to reset when resuming from a saved game Fixed an issue that would cause the Particloner to not register the correct number of copies when resuming from a save Fixed an issue that…

FromLefcourt4 years ago I released a little mobile game that combined Doodle Jump with rocket jumping. People called it "Reverse Downwell", Apple called it a "New Game We Love." But alas, I don't have enough hours in the day to maintain mobile and PC…
FromLefcourtOne of the toughest things for a game developer is to balance the needs of gamers with different skill levels. There can be a large disparity between experiences, and it isn’t always easy to reconcile, or even identify where the disparity…
FromLefcourtFixed a number of reported bugs. More stuff soon. Have a nice weekend! The "Additional Pylons" achievement will now properly unlock Fixed an issue causing the drone swarm mastery chance to constantly increase over time Fixed Shell Shocker’s…
Patch notesFixed a couple of critical issues in today's hotfix. Fixed a bug that would reset experience needed to level to its base level 1 amount when resuming from a saved game. This could cause you to get a bunch of free level ups later in the game…
Patch notesI don't know about you all, but I'm feeling really good about where GL2 is now, and where it's headed after the 0.30.00 patch. There's still a lot left to do, beyond what I'll talk about today, but I thought I'd update you all on the next…

FromLefcourtAnother single, but important fix Fixed a bug that could allow a damaging hit-box for the Dragon Fry boss to get stuck on the screen if killed at just the right time. This could cause you to take damage from an invisible source going…
Patch notesJust one quick bug fix for now, and then back to work on the next update: Fixed a bug that could cause the utility "Spark Fuse" to create conflicts with other bullet-type attacks from both the player and enemies
Patch notesIntroThe 0.25.00 Symbionic Patch is well under way, but isn’t ready yet. Because the Supply Drop update became as large as it did, and took an extra week, the Symbionic update also got pushed back slightly. So I wanted to make sure I got…
FromLefcourtQuick fix for the Roll With It Achievement. While some players have unlocked the achievement, a bug could prevent it from triggering if you hadn't previously unlocked a different achievement. This should no longer be the case.
Patch notesIf you lock a utility until you don't have slots for new utilities, you will no longer be offered that locked utility, causing a soft-lock if you choose it The Power Converter augment will properly trigger again Fixed an issue causing some…

Patch notesIntroEvery developer has a different plan for Early Access. Some use it mostly for balance, while others use it to figure out exactly what a game will eventually be. I like to do a soft launch with my games that resides somewhere in the…
FromLefcourtPatch 0.15.00 was already shaping up to be a pretty large update when it was "just" going to add 20ish new utility upgrades. But its scope has expanded as I've continued to collate the data, crunch the numbers, and read the feedback. And…
FromLefcourtI was alerted to a critical bug with settings caused by an update to the Simulator (of all things). The 0.15.00 Supply Drop update will have significant balance and pacing updates, but most aren't ready for primetime. You may notice…
Patch notesIntro Not quite large enough to justify a full patch update, but significant for those of you wanting to dive into the simulator and break things. And you will break things. Once fully unlocked, It is entirely possible to equip so many…
Patch notesDaily upkeep Due to a cloud conflict for my own backup files, the wrong upgrade libraries were uploaded with the latest patch. This only affected descriptions and rarities. Now fixed. The Hercules Beetle ships (large coleop ships that fire…
Patch notesIntroI’ve had the opportunity now to watch quite a bit of footage of various skill-level players attempt one or more runs in Gunlocked 2, and this patch is about massaging certain pain points in everything from balance to usability.Getting…
FromLefcourtNothing crazy, just two quick changes: A little bug snuck by in the update allowing other upgrades to override the range on the new Plasma Bomb. This could cause inconsistent results depending on the upgrades you chose. Should now be fixed.…
Patch notesIntroThis patch represents the culmination of almost all previously received feedback. Unlike 0.11.00, this update focuses a lot more on quality of life and balance changes based on both user feedback, and what I’ve learned from watching…
