Introduction

"In the 22nd century, humanity is attacked and slowly exterminated by a horde of alien monsters, lead by Notorious Mental. Sam "Serious" Stone, the last man on Earth is forced to go back in time to change what went wrong..."

Serious Sam HD Extended is a fan-made reboot/retelling of Serious Sam 1/HD. Its main goal is to update the game's story as if it was made after its prequel, Serious Sam 3 BFE. The story is also expanded upon with more lore and more locations, with more mysteries to solve and more enemies to fight.

After 3 years of work, its first episode is ready for release. And it comes with a demo of the second episode!


Main Features:

- 18 levels of mayhem, which includes:

* 10 levels of highly enhanced original levels, some with rebalanced difficulty
* The 3 DLC levels, completely redesigned
* 5 completely new levels

- New enemy types, powered by the Ultimate Enemy Pack
- Breakable pots! Some might hide items, some might be trapped!
- Lots of new NETRICSA messages, with more detailed story and lore
- 4 Bosses to fight
- Every level contains a LORE ITEM, which forms a backstory when completed
- Some weapon changes:

*The Minigun now fires twice as fast, but its bullets have a halved damage, just like in SS1 Classic
*The Single Shotgun was made to have less spread and more accurate
*The Double Shotgun was made to have more spread, but shoots more pellets


Episode 2 Demo features:

- 6 levels; 4 enhanced original levels, 2 completely new levels.

Of course, I see you walking up to me and asking "But Solais, you released almost all TFE levels. What else to show?" To which I say "Well my friend who somehow broke into my house uninvited, that's because there are more completely new levels to come, as Episode 2 is full of them!"

However, I can't promise a release date yet, as I've have some real life events upcoming for a while. But I ensure you that Ep2 will be completed later!


Known Issues

It is known that due to the project updating the graphics of the game a little, people who could run the game effortlessly before might experience some hitches. This is especially true for the "Holy Gardens" level, which can cause desync in multiplayer if the host machine is too slow.
