Overgrowth Alpha 125 changes - Wolfire Games

[SchnaiderT]

I think the wolfs supposed too punch with there fists or scratch with there big nails unlike the rabbits thet kick with there strong legs

[PYates77]

@SchnaiderT They do. Wolves already have a completely different fighting style.

They throw big claw slaps mostly, but can also kick.

[donkylalex]

@Parakoopatroopa YOU HAVE THE WORST TASTE EVER! they spent over a year working on this game, give em some respect and lets see YOU make a better game than this!

[lMarksmanl]

This is better than GMOD for sure :D Just because you can make enemies patrol!

[malle232]

Omg i love this game... The graphics are nice! the way you fight is so freaking awesome... and the way you slow the time when you kick them in the face... Come on guys spread the news of this game!!! :D

[jgblreaper]

sound dampening and echoes would be nice, so that if your inside a structure or in snowy terrain sound would be less/more effective

[liamsp544]

Weirdest jump animation I have ever seen.

[TheDarklord0211]

very cool stuff ;)

[javierGW8th]

you should add a running stance where they run on all fours. It should make them faster.

[Hal0Elite42]

@javierGW8th this game is furry enough already. It doesnt need to be any furrier

[beebaize]

Wallrun!?!?!?! Gawd I want this game now. The movements you can do is awesome!

[Hypogripho]

Humble bundle ??

dl.dropbox.com/u/270717/humble­-frozenbyte-bundle.flv

[Exestenz]

I will buy this game twice.

[DvDPlaya]

I pre-ordered a really long time ago with Natural Selection 2, how do i try Alpha125?

[MaddTheSane]

@DvDPlaya Check the Secret Preorder Forum on the Wolfire's forums. They should have the most recent alphas available for download if you have an account. If you don't have an account, contact them either by making an account or on IRC.

[kink97]

Terrific just terrific BUT STILL NO BLOOD!

[Meapoblox]

@kink97 I remember a video of them showing off the way blood hits terrain. Just looks like they didnt add it to the NPCs and player.

[SFtheWolf]

@kink97 Of what things that they displayed in the video did there need to be blood? If you get tackled or kicked in the chest your head doesn't explode.

[TheCrookedCrow1]

whenis this game going to finish???

[rankaratar]

1:02 WOLF PWND!

[VNdoug]

Movements of falling/standing up looks a bit.... well, how i can say... like: BAM!I AM *BEEP*ING FAST NINJA!

[MyJizzHasFizz]

Can I make one suggestion?

When the rabbits sprint, it look's like they are just walking really really fast. now I understand this was probably intentional, but a suggestion I would make is to maybe make them lean forward more, or make it look like they are really putting effort into running. They just seem like they are hardly trying when they run so bloody fast.

Any way, Brilliant work, game looks AMAZING, keep it up!

[shrubz99]

@MyJizzHasFizz pretty sure it is intentional, adds a somwhat mysterious image of the rabbit, who runs fast and is an expert in martial arts.

[furryegglet]

@MyJizzHasFizz How do you sprint?

[MyJizzHasFizz]

@furryegglet Push forward I believe. When I said "sprint" I meant when they reach top speed, there isn't a button designated to sprinting I don't think.

[Yoshi92]

hmhmmm, multiplayer for our lucky preorderers, we want! :P

[LunaVorax]

Does all of this means that the game is soon to be considered Beta ?

[ThePferdemensch]

im a happy buyer

[ketmoves]

This is the update that I believe will get me to preorder.

[Harder12]

slowly wanting to buy this more and more

[EspierYoshikawa]

I am going to play Lugaru now.

[evilpenquin]

This has probably been answered a billion times, but are you planning on adding a multi-player component?

[ss2man44]

@evilpenquin For a while, there WAS a multiplayer component, and I think it could even still be there. Either way, I know multiplayer is indeed planned.

[ddgxstatic]

swwwweeeeeeeettt!!! Go Wolfire!

[mopembopem]

Great stuff, it would be cool if enemies communicated with each other. For example, if a rabit saw a palyer comming, he could yell out loud and based on sound any all other enemies within a radious could be on alert. This would definitly rais AI of the enemy and make player to think about startegies of how to attack and quickly take an opponent out :-)

[RadGH]

Is this game going to be just like Lugaru? Will there be any character development or exploration, or just level after level of (albiet amazing) static levels and enemies to walk up and kill?

Also as mentioned, co-op multiplayer? IMO this game is too fast paced to enjoy in PvP over a long duration. Some people would prefer that, but not me.

The game looks amazing, but I just feel more and more like I won't enjoy the end product as much as I did following it's development.

[RadGH]

@RadGH ( I guess the /as mentioned/ just said lan play, not co-op, but whatever. )

[winterkewl]

you have achieved so much already!!! Nice Work! :)

[eneekmot]

Woot! When are you adding a multiplayer mode? I don't care if it's not fully-featured, I just want to be able to duel with people.

[d123s404]

@eneekmot I contacted them before about this.  They said they'd like to include online multiplayer, but they have to figure out how they would deal with lags first. In other words, no promises made. : (

[RickTheStickman2]

@d123s404

I hope that doesn't happen.

Multiplayer is boring.

[d123s404]

@RickTheStickman2 I hope it happens. Adding multiplayer won't affect you anyways because you can just ignore it. :D

[GOOB3000]

@RickTheStickman2 It's not like you have to play it -_-. You have the option if it's there,

[RickTheStickman2]

@GOOB3000

I'm just showing my opinion, chill out bro.

[KesSharann]

@d123s404 I'd like to see LAN play.

[RealBronzeClaws]

Remember when you traveled to the Raider Base to find the son of the real traitor, and the base was nothing more than your basic shapes?

[SpackoZako]

OMG have to download this new alpha

[Legionari3]

looking better and better

[moviemaker310]

wtf.this are less then 125 changes >:(

[Fiendir]

@moviemaker310 The video shows the changes in the 125th alpha version in the game, not 125 changes to the alpha, derp.

[moviemaker310]

@Fiendir i know!

[LOOTS243]

Will they make a online multiplayer?

[Zillygf]

@LOOTS243 No.

[LOOTS243]

@Zillygf Ok..

[0Yuro0]

@LOOTS243

hmmm not quite sure of this...

blog.wolfire.com/2009/01/multi­player-news/

[LOOTS243]

@0Yuro0 ty

[TheMoonWhale]

@LOOTS243 Bro, this game is based on online mutiplayer. Dunno what that other guy is on, but yes there will be. :)

[Djemps]

@TheMoonWhale It's single player homie.

[Phisk3n]

@Djemps Yeah there isn't mp right now but you sure there wont be in the final version?

[LOOTS243]

@TheMoonWhale Nice, ty for responding :D

[masterdequo]

how many people you got working on this?

[ahoKajt]

This game seems really interesting, but I found the combat in the Lugaru demo to be too fast for me... >.>

[Danjib]

AWESOME!

[Winderice]

you should add a level up system? :O w/ upgrades

[MyXxxmexxx]

I'm not a pre order guy but this is mass buy for my

[igorbog88]

@MyXxxmexxx

mass buy ftw

[flightlessbird71]

i cant wait to get it!!

[chadoftoons]

yes!!!!1111oneoneone now we can play a game and not a editor! congrats to the milestone but i think everone knows that this game is already in alpha stage beyond epic.

[spliter88]

Achievement!

You Unlocked Milestone #1!

Game Mode Unlocked!

Now seriously, Congrats on the milestone. I wish I could preorder right now but little money and I'm saving for Natural Selection 2.

I will preorder next month! I promise!

[domoney1011]

Dear wolfire. By any chance may you add a "Breaking Bones" animation such as the rabbit kicks then the wolf catches the leg a elbow drops the knee cap and breaks it. That would be great. so if thats possible plz do it and if the leg breaks make the knee cap face inward. Thank you for your time.

[Forgineers]

Those Rabbits are fucking awesome at kicking! :)

[BZaRDev]

Funny as it is, I'm probably enjoying these videos and insight more than I will the actual game :). Not that the game will be bad, on the contrary! I'm just such a geek ^^

[kroepkroep]

It keeps looking better and better. But i think the kicks and punhes arent looking like they are solid. Let them lean just a litlle forward when they kick and it wil be (proberly) more realistic =]

toi toi toi!!

[WindWalker940]

are there stealth kills?

[CyberMcRock]

I like the wolf's model, maybe I'll pre-order today or tomorrow

[tongofication]

Awesome. Though the last two I downloaded didn't work... 

[zeeroj]

This is exciting :D Can't wait to play around with it

[cromos]

I'm so proud of you, Wolfire. Those 30 dollars were nothing compared to the amout of knowledge and entertainment you give us with the development news. This game is gonna be awesome. Please take your time.

[fleshBasedProcessor]

I enjoy these weekly updates so much I'm starting to feel obligated to buy the game now. Since it is finally looking more like a game than an editor maybe I will.

[Visper321]

What annoys me in most open world video games, is that if you kick someone over and they fall on their face, they then render themselves a preset recovering animation, so they would warp onto their backs and push themselves up instead of getting up realisticly. You fixed the limp ragdolls by making them active when they fell, so I think you should also fix the recovering animations as well.

[Quikie93]

@Visper321 like how?

[3d834]

You forgot to mention that enemies can now walk when you put them in patrol mode ( 0:33 )

[Aleczacool]

@3d834

That's been there for yonks, mate.

[3d834]

@Aleczacool Yonks?

[xboxliveDrArtard]

@3d834 he did that in about 1-2 weeks ago...

[3d834]

@xboxliveDrArtard No they didn't. If you watch the videos he doesn't say that he changed the speed of the patrol mode.

[DrWhiteMage]

This game looks amazing, and I really am stunned at both the quality of the game and the passion of the developers.

But being nurse-fed on the current trend of the $5 indie game, I'm still feeling the urge to hold out on preordering. A small drop in price or even a sale would hopefully be all I need to push my stinginess over the edge and finally pick up this fine piece of work.

[Superyndaaa]

Truly remarkable progress., ill be sure to download this Alpha and play around, thank you.

[xsporian]

I just realized how small your towns are. You really need to work on that

[PAWMANIACS]

@xsporian wile slightly larger towns might be acceptable, i believe the lore of the game calls for small towns.

[monstercameron]

what gfx engine are you guys using?custom?

[tuckerb117]

@monstercameron they are using a totally custom engine its amazing!!!

[Visper321]

@tuckerb117 It is also incredibly powerful.

[CheifPaco]

I'm eating corn out of a can!



[WerQ0HerQ]

@CheifPaco What kind of can?

[jixxen]

Lol, this video is so recent, that as I type this, the download for a125 isn't even out yet.

[SpooderW]

reusing the music from the making of sound teaser i see....

[jixxen]

Two words. Cool Beans!

[sambetty123]

@GlopeClover i believe you can, but im not sure how...

[TheMendAudio]

We ought to hold a contest for who can make the best machinima movie from the engine as is right now!

[Korban3]

w00t 136th view! Cool alpha, even if it wasn't as epic as the some of the others, this is a huge milestone. Overgrowth has gone from kick ass editor to kick ass game and editor. AMAZING! So excited, I'm gonna preorder soon, I hope.

[JonezGames]

This game has a lot of potential.

Keep it up

[SanMarin0]

Its looking sweet!

[koolgool]

I love the physics of the combat. I just want to see it develop a little more before I buy it, but I can see myself buying this in the future. :> I'll continue keeping up with the production in the meantime.

[fsemblert]

This is to good to be made by such a small team. Wolfire isn't telling us something am sure! XP

[newschool92]

Implement objectives and then cardboard box disguises. +1

[MDxm3000]

awesome, we can now start building gameplay with this Alpha.

[freedominstinct]

You are amazing. This stuff blows my mind.
