Art Asset Overview #25

[tankdoom]

He kinda sounds like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite 

[54Dcool]

You should put the first Raider-consept into the game as well

[heuykiller]

Awesome art work! How many tris/polygons are the characters?

[TheDarklord0211]

TBH I don't like the way hes designed, his hood just bugs me, having holds in it with his eyes popping out the sides, doesn't feel natural, considering there are no police so they don't have to hide their faces and having their hoods like that will just cloud their vision.

[rizhall]

Wow, that raider has some seriously nice footsies! Is that AI?

[Rulerofwax24]

Blender you say? Wow, you guys are using an open source 3D animation program to help in making a game with open developer tools (and you are making the game open source too, right? I think you are)

[MrFreshFob]

*sees painting* :O *goes to Microsoft paint* *tries to draw* :( why cant i draw T_T

[Ricochet8844]

1:41 Defeated by your own creation. It's like Animator VS Animation!

[EvilMonkeyMadman]

I don't know why your voice calms me so much... i think you talk with perfect rooming in between your words so it automatically becomes Binaural Beat.

[turdmen111]

@EvilMonkeyMadman i actually was thinking the same thing lol!

[EloTheCat]

He looks so cute. I wish I could model like that from a single picture. :/

[zodiac868]

1:08 lol butt flap

[3sTheDUKE]

Oh and that final concept showcase bit with the segmented 3D painting was awesome. It adds a new way of showcasing paintings and concepts. It'd be great to see more of those.

[3sTheDUKE]

I'm keen on pre-ordering, but I would feel alot more confortable (and I'm sure many other potential buyers aswell) if there was a demo released.

Perhapse just a limited area or a small camp/town with just 2 character models available.

Or even just a tech-demo.

Persnonally I'd like a tech-demo. Like that hidden area + room that was in TES - Oblivion. I really got a fell for it with that when playing at a friend's house, then I bought it :3

[homework115]

you may have already planed to add this in the game but if you haven't dismemberment would be an amazing thing to have... its just an idea

[leapmancompany]

This guy is one of the most humble people I ever seen.

[MrDimwit646]

Blender FTW!

[Videos2Game]

@WolfireGames Put it in the Huble Bundle :D

[Ralokone]

I am just happy to see more stuff :)

had a hard week

this made it worth it :)

[Usiema]

wow, the footwork looks so clean and polished now. I like the character idea, can't wait to see the color pallette hook up with that one.

[Atlasfield]

A kind of ninja/assassins bunny? Cool... any special power or a kind of specific weapon? (something like a brotherhood, whatever)

[Startmenu4]

I'm sure you're already well aware of this but, remember to keep character design distinct enough so that players have no trouble recognizing the class from a distance. Teamfortress 2 is a perfect example.

[ThePcGammer97]

a great co op mission would be you and a friend take on an army of raiders or even in the campaign

[DAudIcI]

I am very happy with the clothing of these characters, that the raider looks like some hard core street rioter and similarly to the guard, their armour looks like some bulletproof vest. Similarly to the concrete-like monoliths, it's a beautiful blend of medieval(ish) and modern...

[CalvinDWalker]

I'm calling it right now: in terms of popularity, this is going to be the next Minecraft.

By the way, I intend on getting the Alpha for Christmas, so hopefully that'll be update 163. Can't wait to see what's in Overgrowth by that time :D

[PigeonRivers]

Your viewer base has gotten so much bigger since you started Overgrowth. It was a shame Lugaru, being the amazing game that it was, didn't get the publicity it deserved. It makes me happy to know that Overgrowth is going to change that :)

[tokanite]

why does the player character always die at the end of these videos :(

[TheWildChallenger101]

1:26

old mod vs new :D

[IndustrialBonecraft]

Oh God damn I love these videos.

Indie developers vastly out-performing AAA companies. I REALLY hope this game is a success.

[Dahxelb]

Yeay, a bigger variety in enemies and looks. In my opinion, VARIETY is KEY for a successful game. :D

[xxashton92xx]

This guy must have a rabbit fetish...

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@xxashton92xx Why? He is making the rabbits for his game. He does other stuff, do.

[TheDefiantBadger]

@xxashton92xx Get out of here.

[xxashton92xx]

@TheDefiantBadger you don't know how to take a joke do you friend?

[TheDefiantBadger]

@xxashton92xx I do, only good ones though.

[xxashton92xx]

@TheDefiantBadger taking a joke is not to do with it being funny or not, you just have to realize the person is simply not being serous

[TheDefiantBadger]

@xxashton92xx Well frankly I thought it was a pretty foul and distasteful joke, that's why said it.

[TheDefiantBadger]

@xxashton92xx AND before you say, of course I realise it's not serious, but what I said still stands.

[godzillanightmare]

Make some different colored hoods.

That would be cool

[meemoXIX]

He looks good, great job. Interesting what you said about "original concepts". I didn't know that.

[Shykaary]

You rock.

[Tigregalis]

Haha, it's kinda amusing seeing his hand guard up like that, it's pretty unique, maybe you should try to work that in, as his 'fighting style'?

[ERKRAKANARB]

@Tigregalis its just because its unfinished

[Tigregalis]

@ERKRAKANARB Uhhhhhh... I know. You completely missed the point. My point is that I found the unfinished guard pose, with his hands up, quite entertaining, and I think they should genuinely work it into the character, rather than give him the clenched fists of the other characters. Comprende?

[3d834]

Wouldn't it be awesome if you made a rabbit that could do Earth Bending like in Avatar the last air bender. Like it could be an epic boss or some thing!

[whothehellisthat]

Wow! That's great work, dude! And the little 3D-ness you made was really, cool, too!

[BjarkeDuDe]

Thanks! now i cant wait for next week >:(

[DerPixelschubser]

I think I'll never feel comfortable working with Blender. ;) Great Work!!

[smileman66]

Reminds me of the hunters from Left 4 Dead.

[TheDefiantBadger]

Best model so far I think.

[DGtibbs]

His hand kind of looks like he stuck it in a beehive, but otherwise, looks freakin awesome.

[MMMAAATTTLLL]

@DGtibbs yeah he said hasnt done the morph targets for the hands or mouth

[Mephistin]

wait... lu'ger'u? I've been pronouncing it as lu'gar'u this whole time...

[DGtibbs]

@Mephistin I think either way is acceptable.

[Mephistin]

@DGtibbs Even if it wasn't, lu'gar'u sounds cooler to me

[Bionuker]

Blender, yay! Nice work.

[bfox2k]

Hey its Altihare!

(Altair + Hare)

[TheKrishux]

Blender FTW! ;D

[AniCator]

@TheKrishux Indeed.

[Theicemonkeyjr]

Hey the raider looks incredible!

[ThalesII]

I think it would look better if his ears were slightly bended back, like in the concept, and also if the blue of his cloak looked more washed-out. Other than that I think it looks amazing :)

[XxCrientxX]

I used to buy Overgrown but then I took an arrow in the knee

[holyboddy]

@XxCrientxX Sorry we only allow originality in these parts of youtube.

[TheDefiantBadger]

@holyboddy That must be a nightmare to enforce.

[holyboddy]

@TheDefiantBadger Yes, especially on youtube.

[KarmineSpot]

It seemingly would take a year or more to complete the overall Overgrowth "Alpha". So there will be about a hundred videos about it from this point

[MrMekune]

Altair bunnie.

[qwasd0r]

I love your artwork!

[DrTrinitrotoluene]

Im getting this game for christmas if its still $30, as for now im gonna play an old cracked version, i feel dirty but i wanna brush up for my pre order

[TheGamingRoots]

Damn the raider looks epic, like the hood alot.

[Roboface97]

I think they should make some normal game footage. Recording stuff like awesome fight scenes and going through levels and places.

[TimmysHQ]

If he has eye-holes, why won't his clothes cover his entire head? I can't really see the advantage of letting the mouth and nose be in the open.

[smaug131]

@TimmysHQ so he can still eat and talk without having to put his mask off all the time I think.

[TheRainySky]

@TimmysHQ Its not always about functionality in design. I guess he wanted to give the character a hoodie to give him a stealth/rogue like feel and the holes for the eyes give the design something unique, else it wouldnt be interesting to look at.

[MarsterTigermus]

I like the eye-holes

[VincentCecelia]

is only 2 people making this game? I am subscribed but can't figure this out

[Juma1st]

@VincentCecelia exactly

[deadly840]

A new character! Can't wait for monday I hope he'll be in the game.

[DiogeneshoKunikos]

Great job, as usual.

[GrassDragon]

I love the hood having holes for the eyes! Really neat concept.

[koalakid11]

@GrassDragon So true! So true! :-)

[MCdictionary]

i have to say, david is better at fighting than you are

[Bleenderhead]

1:05 he is so high that he can't stop staring at his hands.

[jimmy41607]

i use blender too can users put their character in the game also? so the game is more customized

[arkatub]

@jimmy41607

yeah the engine is fully mod-able, theres example files and a wiki to show you what to do aswell.

[Zalo10]

It's too skinny!

[nhydock]

I kind of want to see shaders applied to the game that make the 3D look like the concept sketch of the raider.

[lRedWingl]

This music is so calm I nearly pee'd my self :s

[XFX40]

wow he looks cool I WANT A WALLPAPER NOW

[radioactive2558]

I think the armor/hood looked better darker, but it's still really cool.

[ZeFruitNazi]

Do you use a tablet when drawing, or straight up mouse?

[adem44a]

I really liked the way the concept art looked somewhat 3d. I think you guys should experiment with some slightly cell shaded graphics.

[TheZombiesarepeople2]

He should be more random. Right now he looks like he belongs to some sort of cult or something, not a raider. I liked the heavily-armored one more :P

[TheomanZero]

Are any of the character models in the alpha right now final? I recall hearing that they would be replaced withe more modular models at some point.

[TheLetterY13]

yeah, looks a lot like a hoodie

[Lumikatti]

I liked that pseudo 3D - concept art version a lot. While I think Overgrowth does look pretty good, part of me wishes it would be in that cel-shady style like that little glimpse of the "3D" concept character.

[JTshoot]

5:06 am

[bloodsuckern]

3:50 am

FUCK YEAH

[MagicAccent]

*Jaw drops, looks at hands in astonishment*

"Oh my god, im alive!"

*get's beaten the shit out of*

[TheOnlyPolygraph]

Looks way too much like the Hunter, imo.

[AfterShockPivot]

The model would look alot better if the ears were bent back like in the concept, right now it looks like someone wearing a hoodie.

[powergannon]

Gangster Ninja Bunny is awesome. That's what I see.

[Eagle0600]

The concept looked a lot better than the final model.

[Azminday]

I always look forward to these art asset overviews! And the eye hols are an interesting addition.

[BassPounderX]

i think the raider should be darker and maby a bit bigger but oh well also you guys need liek 10 models of the same character with slight changes so they are not all the same

[Quikie93]

Raider looks a bit.. assassin- ish

would work better for a weak, agile character in my opinion

as Raider was the "most common" enemy, then i suppose they will be well balanced

GREAT concept and excecution, you are a role model for me in both 2d and 3d! (which iam into aswell)

What software did you use before Blender?

[MasterLagoz]

The armor bit looks like a catchers protection gear from baseball... Dunno if thats good or not, just that it seems quite low on the character.

[download333]

Whoa! My hands are awesome!

[Drondh]

Jazz hands!

[teg5511]

Hearing that soothing voice over the soothing song, is likely the same as taking horse tranquilizers. I just get happy, and then fall out of my chair because I'm so goddamned relaxed.

[hzhangcom]

Haha,mouse click sound @the end, this is looking good man. I pre ordered the game few month ago. Also keep the costume simple, simple is always look good.

[Threvlin]

1:23 the raider is looking at his hands like, "My God, what have I done?!"

Looks good!

[Doctorunique300]

when he's standing still he looks as high as hell

[TheAlecMcleod]

WAYYYYYY too long since the last one. Don't let me catch you doing that again!

[thetubeaccount]

dat voice... could soothe a savage beast

[johnanth]

The "final concept" was... in cell-shaded 3D?! Why don't you use that effect in the main game--it looks absolutely stunning! I really liked the high contrast as well... I don't think the game's characters currently look "dirty", they just seem a bit ugly because the lack that beautiful high contrast and vibrant colours. Dynasty Warriors is an example of the opposite--really ugly models that look brilliant due to the beautiful choice of colours!

[ZetaPlays]

While I agree it looked awesome and it would be a great look for the game if they could pull it off, that wasn't a 3d model at all, it was just the image morphed a bit to look 3d.

[wo262]

@johnanth it isn't cell shaded 3d, just a 2d concept projected over a 3d surface so it has volume. but i also agree, the concept is better thant the 3d and the texture could be done better with that style

[RadGH]

I liked when you had the mesh over the eyes at 0:45, but then you erased it and I was like "aww"

That chest piece definitely needs to be bigger though, or at least move it up to his chest instead of his belly.

[JagermeisterDetox]

hunter? It looks like a hunter. Guess we know his name.

[TeamFortressgineer]

Hunter

[gingerkid963]

waitta minute... FOUR TOES??? is that the new rabbit model that has yet to replace the current one?

[Gimbar83]

Is it possible to get the background song?

[stickyvideos1]

wow your voice is so calm

[TheEoli]

@stickyvideos1 I know, right. I just watch the Art Assets Overview videos and turn down the blinds, turn off the lights and listen to his glorious chill voice. Love it.

[TBonne29]

As much as I can't wait for this come to be completed and released I almost want you to never finish so this game just continues to become more and more awesome.

[turboslow2]

@TBonne29

yea it's like they should release it early so that everyone can test it and continue building on the project.... oh wait.

[Flowz0r91]

@TBonne29 I just hope it never gets released so I can listen to their sexy voices forever.

[dudeglove]

@Flowz0r91 LOL

[Axol]

Very cool, you got my respect ;)

[Thirdburst]

Kinda looks like the hunter from L4D but overall nice job!

[FaceJP24]

@Thirdburst Anything with a hoody can pretty much look like a hunter, so it's not really a problem.

[ShadoShade]

@Thirdburst Without the growling... And the all fours... And the ripping you apart...

[rushnerd]

@Thirdburst

GET THIS THING OFFA MEEEEEEEE!

[ThalesII]

@Thirdburst Just because he's wearing a hood?

[DoDogaTz]

Cool

[Rafaelinux]

Looked better 2D :P

[Korban3]

Man, his characters are a ton better looking than mine were, but then again he is quite the pro.

[raptorphoenixgamer]

I wonder how will the other raiders (by race) will be executed according to their combat styles...

[SigmarJuffe]

second....

[moldyham86]

nice :D
