Bi-weekly is a type of weekly...

Chapter Two Progress Update

The last week included finishing the first drafts of both Story Mode and Battle Mode content for Chapter Two, including a bunch of fixes under the hood for the game. I would say at the time of this writing, Chapter Two is maybe around 75% complete and I feel like I'm on track for a Summer 2018 release on Steam (Xbox One will be later).
It's been a fun scenario to create given the focus on pitch darkness. The volumetric light from Lydia's flashlights really adds some dimension to the darkness and I think you'll enjoy watching the shadows bounce across the walls.
Chapter Two is also going to stress out you in some new ways. Many items that were "freebies" in Chapter One, like storage boxes, power weapons, etc... a bit more... secured in Chapter Two. You'll need to solve puzzles to unlock them, and let's just say it may not be possible to open everything up in your playthrough. You'll need to choose between opening up a new storage chest location and potentially opening a gun case for example.
My focus in the next few weeks is adding in all of the story lore, environment inspectables and polishing up the experience (including difficulty balancing). Stay tuned though, because I don't think your time surviving the darkness is too far off. ;) Thanks again for supporting the game and be sure to keep sharing news about it with friends!
