Overgrowth Alpha 163 changes - Wolfire Games

[lazort22]

this game should actually be really badass i mean like none other game has any of these features its AMAZING!

[MrSnakesMC]

You're work is amazing, some of the best and most popular companies out there don't concentrate to this much detail, mostly due to deadlines and/or engines, the type of game or how much they're working with. This, sir is amazing keep on going and this game will be a legend.

[fight2IDIE]

this game is amazing!!!

i hope the developers at Wolfire keep working on this and never give up! so talented, good work! :)

[MGSfanatic101]

I really want this! D: Have to save up lol

[nozajshadowcaster]

much better then cod to bad my comp cant play games very well cant even play minecraft :(

[Xbox720HD]

i was going to buy, but i dont want to play 30 dollars i hope you will bring it down to 20$ ;9

[stefanheichen]

this world needs more people like him ^^ !!! 

[Dessierey]

@SternenlichtR Thats why I dont like big comapny games as much, they focus more on the crap stuff and less on the small, awesome stuff.

[ComputerHRD]

This is like my dream game lol

[HybridLouis]

Dude you guys are geniuses hahahaa this is so interesting!

[Erectionproblem]

This is pretty cool. Im gonna follow this.

[tehlastflax]

i think the kicking is way to strong, i mean when you kick the guy went flying

[ghostsade3]

@tehlastflax You need an understanding of how the game is supposed to work, along with its predecessor Lugaru. The rabbits in this game are like bodybuilder in strength. It's supposed to be like that. Everything else is supposed to be as realistic as possible, and they are doing an absolutely phenomenal job.

[Togerax]

Is Tapio from Finland? since Tapio is a Finnish name and there is a lot of snow outside.

[KaamosSound]

@Togerax Yes, I am.

[tpauluchs]

I recognize these levels from Lugaru!

[Blackowtz]

I think there should be an animation where when the model is colliding with bushes/trees, that they will try to cover their face, or look away. Some way of how realistically you would react to doing such a thing.

[Bloodraven216]

you guys need to make it so your player and enimies and whoever cover there face a bit when thier head is in the foilage

[adribier]

i like that penetration

[zgthor]

MARCS ZERO

[MrBananaCast]

but why does the rabbits sound like dogs / wolfs

[MrBananaCast]

i've pre-ordered this game it looks and plays amazingly well for beoing a alpha

[KondoPondo]

haha I love the clip of you recording sounds. So awesome.

[romano082]

Samurai Warrior Usagi Yojimbo C64 remake

[Shrubberee]

You, sir, are a coding GOD.

[rickdbzfan]

Marqueszero

[NastyNovi]

How many polygons do the trees use?

[EnigmaNovb]

Seems decent. I now understand a lot better why games take so long to make!

[AnteroX1234]

@EnigmaNovb why GOOD games take so long to make. you don't see this much detail in garbage like COD or anything that comes out after 2008

[Sara3346]

Ok now read the comment fourX below me..

[Akylosauria]

Does anyone know if there's any kind of online multiplayer feature planned for the full version?

[TheLordpeanuts]

I think if you add water to the game, you should make it so that when a character walks through it, then their clothing gets darker and they move a bit slower for a while.

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

@TheLordpeanuts its gonna lag like crap, -.-

[CrazeeWeegeMan47]

@BRBSHUTUPNOOB

Actually, many games today use a tecnique (yes, i spelled it wrong.) similar to this, with little performance difference, just darken the texture a bit and move a bit slower. If the Pheonix Engine can handle the slow movement from plants, and the advanced blood splatting/dripping, it could handle water in some way/shape/form.

[CalvinDWalker]

@TheLordpeanuts He did the same thing with blood - where it was "absorbed" into the clothes and fur of the characters - so to transfer that over to water doesn't seem too hard, mostly due to what I've seen Dave pull off of course.

[Sara3346]

Sweet read the comment below me wolFire!

[Bob0p]

Suggestion: For different terrains like sand and dirt if your character touches them a staining should be able to happen to happen based off the surfaces it touches. Along with in some levels you should have dirt or sand blowing around in the air and staining clothing.

Another suggestion: day/night transitions & weather such as rain, and snow precipitation.

Another suggestion: water & swimming machinates maybe adding rivers and streams to maps.

another suggestion: reflective surfaces

[gustav0105]

where is 164? :O

[mitchwulfman]

the collision detection concept is amazing. keep being awesome, guys

[TehNinjaGabe]

how do you change the color of the bunnies

[ThoseTolerableNoobs]

Very interesting game...I'll keep my eye on it.

[poogun99]

Took me 5 hours to download...and it doesnt work. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[SasNolan]

@poogun99 Trollface :D

[dennismoore1]

You should add optimization for multi-core computers. I noticed that my fourth core is bearing almost all of the load, causing my game to lag occasionally.

[billytamer]

wow you guys record your owns sounds? thats pretty cool

[DishonestAbe0]

Wow, genius!

[delpher32exe]

overgrowth: forever

[GertjanSluimer2]

this is almost better than real life omg

[ZechsMerquise73]

@GertjanSluimer2 At least in the game you get to be a rabbit or a wolf.

[JellyInvasion]

i remember playing Lugaru a long time ago, and it was awesome. Now i see this game, and i want to play it right now! This game looks great, I'm going to go preorder it asap :)

[LuccasBode]

I pre-ordered overgrouth

Best thing i`ve made last year

[cudasam1]

I think you need to make the running animation look more realistic. I run track and I have never seen anyone run so stiff and straight up,when you run you are mostly leaning forward and your head is down, also I think it would look a bit better if you made the ears go back when they are fighting to make it look like they are trying to protect their ears as they are very important to Rabbits, also when the rabbits are running

[JoeJoeTater]

Oh man, I can just imagine the giant tree level(s).

[AmorphousBlob2]

Will plants have ground-color matching like detail objects do?

[TheNikSpace]

guys where is the old funny videos u made when you start posting... miss them!!!

[OleFaldmo]

MUST HAVE !!!



[SteamGreifer]

Can we get a fullscreen option?

[AwakeIsland]

2 Suggestions (*thumbs up if you agree):

1. I hope you are leaving a little mystery for us players when we eventually get the full vesion

2. Get a youtube partnership and earn some ad revenue, 33,000 views could help your game if you monetize it.

[KravVolder]

@AwakeIsland Unfortunately, Awake, the monetization only occurs after your video hits, I think, 1,000,000 views. THEN it counts every thousand views.

[rmwalshyDESIGN]

@KravVolder nope not true

[Nowzies]

dude, for some reason I really like your voice

no homo

[deathbyplutonium]

this wasnt in my sub box!

[Jesterofthesky]

These videos always seem to end with you dying... you need to get better at your game man! :P

[ShadoShade]

Greatest game being developed of 2012.

[theugama]

youre awesome im 13 and im thinking of becoming a video game creator ive only created 2 racing games and i want to create some awesome fighting games but i love your videos and i love lugaru and overgrowth they're awesome if you could but them on consle that would be amazing!!!

[raafaelfabres]

hey I'm brazilian and I record a lot of videos for this game I'm intersting for this game I think that the people in brazil intersting too,for this game!Lend me this game for disclose your impressive work and your impressive game!!Return for me for this suggestion

[Godshelp09]

@raafaelfabres BR BR BR BR?

[csheff15]

I like the little victory dance at time 2:03

[RenegadeRoller]

this game looks incredible keep up the amazing work guys

[TLOWNSU]

You sound almost exactly like one of my Algebra teachers.

[DeadFishFactory]

I don't know why it's just so awesome to listen to him talk about how it works.

[TeamModernWarfail]

Any plans to ever put Overgrowth in the Humble Indue Bundle? Just wondering. Have been watching Alpha changes for a couple months now and might be finally ready to put the investment down. Had too many games to buy before now.

[Nyocurio]

@TeamModernWarfail I guess they'll do that some long time after initial release, if at all. There's no point in having your game in a bundle when it didn't have a chance before to earn money on its own IMO

[HarchGameplays]

Eu amo o MarquesZero

[thekillerdinamo]

@HarchGameplays OH MY GOD

[c6030315]

The two top comments aren't even english....

[cott002367]

wow, that's a pretty clever way of dealing with the trees - i like it!

[casefc3s]

haha, he said penetration depth

[Regginyaga]

The only reason every game isn't this awesome is low standards

[snaphappy7530]

@Regginyaga If every game was awesome there would be no contrast and no game would be awesome

[DivebombMovies]

need tree climbing and a death from above attack

[misteriobanda1]

Maquelezo (=P) brought me here! XD

[XtraTycoon]

just preordered!

[FarmChamp]

You give me hope for indy gamemaking

[Rodrigob94]

MARCSZERO brought me here

[TheSuuio]

1:44 start of an epic duel

[gilesahrun]

I would like to see a "Fail Flip Death" in those videos someday :P

[crisso131]

wow

[Nutonabaka]

MarcsZero !!!

[zicalser]

@Nutonabaka KKKK

[Sonic5674203]

MarcsZero!

[thegoldenpenny]

Those trees are freaking awesome, if I do say so myself.

[vinimacelai]

Marques!

[Neegodalage]

Hi, I'm registered in a channel MarquesZero and now I am a registered yours.

[victoorsilvaa]

Quem ta aqui por causa do MarquesZero da joinha!

[georgmczz]

nois

[MrFelray]

that is the best fight engine I ever seen =O

[Limbo1one]

Keep it up guys!

[dbucky2007]

Nice recovery!!! 1:48

[rekindledphoenix]

Each new feature (and implementation thereof) goes beyond the depth of any other game out there. Keep up the amazing work.

[StretchMyName]

hiding in trees is good

[KeshnerfFilms]

..::/David\::.. (the child-programmer all-star of the Indie world)

[Ryanxsx]

Wow, what an amazing creation. I'm very excited to see it get made. While it's very unlikely, I'd love to see this come out on xbox live's arcade. My PC isn't all that amazing, and I'm a little doubtful about what I'd be able to run on it. While it wouldn't be quite as amazing as the pc version, it'd certainly still be great. Either way this is by far one of the best games I've seen in a very, very long time.

[Spaceplant109]

Insanely creative.

[ReusableBattery]

The fact that you taped the recording of audio files leads me to believe that you will be doing somewhat of a documentary on the creation of this game, If so I would love to see something like that.

Great job guys, it just keeps getting better. :}

[Nyocurio]

@ReusableBattery nah, he occasionally uploads videos like that, search the channel, there's more of them

[KeshnerfFilms]

I would love to see a video series of you contemplating an idea, and coding it into the engine.

[hotshot3434]

@KeshnerfFilms i program some java, and i have tried that. the sad fact is that programming is boring to people who don't program.

[KeshnerfFilms]

NOW POST THE .CPP SO WE CAN ADMIRE IT!!!

[donnywillo]

hay I preorded a LONG while back and i got a new pc i was wondering if theres a place i can log in to and re download it i cant remember anything about it lol il i think i got john on my steam fl il ask him when he comes online on steam

[DarkGhost209]

You should look at how Uncharted 3 did their sand/snow when you walk through it. It would be awesome if you could recreate something like that.

[Sohma1229]

Keep up the good work guys!

[LouisAT444]

A video just about foliage. yet it is soooooo interesting.

[manic221]

I'm serious this guy is an ingenious coder, keep up the amazing work!

[GOOB3000]

It's already looking more accurate than Cryengine's vegetation collision detection o.o

[Tobaticle]

nice. definitely will preorder this week

[SoupnOlive]

Even in an episode about trees the rabbit still dies at the end of the video.

[IBeSpyin]

i feel like investing in this game is like investing in a nuclear fission reactor

[fireyblackdragon]

@IBeSpyin you can never hope to understand how it does what it does, but it's still awesome?

[OzytheSage]

I would think that jumping into a cluster of branches and twigs at that speed would be very bad for you. I can't speak from experience, but I imagine that being hit by those branches wouldn't be very fun.

Regardless, just the fact that something like this has been implemented is a step up from just about every other game I've played, as is pretty much everything Wolfire has been doing =)

[Hamsteere]

Thank you for making me feel extremely jealous once again.

[XxICraigIxX]

Amazing work guys.

[AluminumHaste]

Wow amazing! These small subtle touches are always missing from "AAA" games, I'm consistently amazed at your problem solving skills.

The only issue I have is that my laptop is having a harder and harder time rendering these scenes. I have an Alienware M17x, Core2Quad @ 2.2Ghz (Q9000) and 2x Nvidia 260M GTX 1GB, 2x640GB 7200 RPM RAID 0 and 6 GB of dual channel ram and these scenes chug when there's grass and lots of trees.

[AklyonX]

@AluminumHaste The gpus seem ok together, so it might be your cpu having a problem.

[AluminumHaste]

@AklyonX That's what I'm thinking I've been looking on ebay for an upgrade but really the only good one is the Extreme edition which is really expensive still :(

[AklyonX]

@AluminumHaste An i5 is quite good if it'll fit your motherboard's socket, even if its not the best i5. i7 is better of course, but also more expensive...

Possibly could alternately be your RAM, since everything has to be loaded somewhere, though if its DDR2 or 3 I doubt thats the prob with 6 gigs of it.

[AluminumHaste]

@AklyonX Laptop, can't change the motherboard only support socket P(478 pin). Only 2 upgrade options, Q9100 and QX9300 (Extreme).

6 Gigs of dual channel DDR3 1333MHz.

[AluminumHaste]

@AluminumHaste Oh wait my apologies, it's 8 GB DDR3 1333Mhz, I forgot I recently upgraded.

[ZechsMerquise73]

@AluminumHaste 6GB Ram is about as good as it gets. As far as I understand, you don't need above 8 unless you're running a server of some kind. Regardless, ram seems like it wouldn't be a problem in this type of game. I would say graphics+processor.

[AluminumHaste]

@ZechsMerquise73 I just bought a QX9300 Extreme quad core for my laptop, it's no i7 but it's the best I can get for my older platform. So we'll see if that helps.

[TheManBriggs]

How far does it penetrate ??? And wgat a fun job rustling leaves around is !

[KnoxCarbon]

Unreal 3 has met it's match.

[mannonc]

I always watch with anticipation at the end of the videos wondering if Turner will be victorious, or die horribly... Usually it is the latter, but I still root for him anyway. ;3

[KeshnerfFilms]

I think Tapio did a great job.

[jrkirby93]

200 vids, congrats

[ufojoedude]

Damn this game looks better with every video. It really shows how passionate you guys are about this project. Just wish i had a computer powerful enough to handle this game... Either way this game is sure to be amazing.

[ZechsMerquise73]

I love your voice. You should narrate for more things.

[DavidLarsenM1]

I love how nonchalant your are about the stuff you do...

"To solve this problem, I build a nuclear fission reactor and invented a new type of math"

[TheCGSphinx]

@DavidLarsenM1 ^Comment of the year and it is only the start of January, you win sir.

[Mattias01001010]

JOhan man jag ser dig

[NexxCR]

Plants that actually are like real plants? What is this madness!

[Mattias01001010]

Is there any plans to release this on steam when its finished,lol I've bought it but I don't feel for install it outside of steam

[rocker398]

@Mattias01001010 Yeah, it's coming to Steam, and a while back they added the api for it, which means if you are logged into Steam, you can use the Shift-Tab feature :)

[plukerpluck]

@Mattias01001010 from what I've read, yes this will be available on steam. Also, a few videos back he said he added steam overlay support.

You've also pre-ordered which is great. This means that you've bought EVERY version that will be released.

If you were to just buy it though steam later you wouldn't get the Linux version for example. But through the pre-order you'll get the Steam, Windows (non-steam), Mac and Linux version available for use.

[candybubbles]

i wonder when your development actually exceeds the performance of most machines

[wonderboy2402]

Doing things even the big game studios don't dare. Keep it up.

[Eeptog]

jesus christ this looks complicated

[spliter88]

Your open develpment is definitely one of the best things that ever happened to gaming community. The insight we all managed to get from these videos (and the tech posts before you started making them regularly) is invaluable. I thank you on behalf of the community for being such great developers.

[Pshycic67]

I'm downloading this game as I'm watching this video. Its excruciatingly exciting.

[johotpockets]

woah i have that basket

[deathbyspeakers]

Congrats on 200 videos...

[SladenKing]

I giggled like a little schoolgirl when I saw the rabbit collide through that big tree and go into rag doll. If that's not David pressing the ragdoll button, this is officially the greatest game ever, for that incredible detail.

[TrentR42]

Point cloud is an awesome idea, never would have thought of it. Especially using that to create a simplified collision mesh.

[Fro5000]

*nods nods nods*

I know some of these words.

[GOOB3000]

@Fro5000 lolz

[TledgEs]

The snowy mountain level sounds and feels great

[ddgxstatic]

Y'all should have the end-of-video fight scenes tell a story of some sort.
