Overgrowth Alpha 158 changes - Wolfire Games

[MrVVheatley]

Those Ragdoll physics are amazing!

[galacticman123]

HELP ME! I pre-ordered the game, I registered to the forums and yet something will not let me get into the ALPHAS. WHAT DO I DO!??!??

[SuperBugen]

@galacticman123 Really? This happened to you? Now I'm a bit scared to pre-order it myself. Did this happen to anyone else?

[DSBrekus]

@SuperBugen I didn't have any problems.

[DSBrekus]

@galacticman123 You should have received an email, to activate your account, then you must link that account to your preorder, the instructions are all on the site if you look for them. After that you can enter the secret pre order forum in which the weekly alpha downloads are posted as topics.

[kaishaku72]

awesome

[RexBadMan]

whats the name of this engine?

its beautiful and cool !! :)

[bearoyay]

@RexBadMan phoenix i believe

[Glynnwat]

I would sell my soul for a combination of this and Mount and Blade: Warband

[spider853]

You really need to write a book about all those technology, and developing a game engine, I'm sure it will be the most successful game engine book ever!

[ctrlaltdisease]

I hope this has gamepad support or at least key-mapping. Id love to play an adventure game in this game world with a controller rather than mouse and keyboard.

[JmcXenon]

i would never get to pirate such an awesome game but it was never released in my country romania and i cant play it this is SAD :( i want to play so much its too awesome :(

[ManualOllie212]

For a game about bunny wabbits, it has probably one of the most realistic physics engines I have ever seen.

[MorganCupkakke]

@ManualOllie212 Its not about "bunny wabbits" It's about Rabbits fighting for their island Lugaru against many other animal races.

[ManualOllie212]

@MorganCupkakke So bunny wabbits...

[hagenisse]

Sorry devs. Rather spend my money on a complete game :/

[321cheeseman]

@hagenisse Well then get it when it is a complete game... This ain't rocket science.

[Wharficron]

@hagenisse

You are, just a little while in advance; it's a preorder.

[jegertobbak123]

you are stupid if you pirate this, i mean they have worked so hard for this. if i made a game that i used so many days or even years to make, i know i would`a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeen soooooooooo MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD IF ANY BODDDDDDDYYYYYYY PIRATED THE GAME . btw:30$ is an awesome prise to an sooo awesome game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSquid21]

@jegertobbak123 well then i guess that makes me stupid :3

[MdgetCow]

This might just be the best game ever.

[fighterpiolt1992]

i would pre-order but theres no linux client yet 

[minigunexo]

I hope this game will be in a humble bundle cause 30$ is quite too much for me

[Nif3]

@minigunexo You are a faggot, this game is absolutely worth 30 bucks.

[crazyjak56]

@minigunexo 30$ too much for you? For this game? Are you mad?

[KAPELAKI]

is it online and when is it coming out?

[RyouConcord]

Dude, fuck yeah! This game's going to be so fucking malleable. 

[RMJ1984]

This game looks like alot of fun, especially in the climbing running, i hope it becomes possible to do all sorts of crazy things.

[LokesProduction]

How to turn this game into full Screen? I Doesn't seem to find the options for it. and the window is quite small, hard to play the game.

[helmesjo]

@LokesProduction ALT+Enter I guess.

[LokesProduction]

@helmesjo Nothing happends.

[zekethewolfy]

@Regginyaga fail

[SquirtOutADump]

@Regginyaga It's already easily pirated.

[sieurdesushi]

@SquirtOutADump why would you pirate this. that's just wrong

[adribier]

does anybody know if the price is gonna be always the same?

(I mean, 30 bucks it's a good price, the game looks fantastic, but I would prefer to pay 20$ or 25$ for a digital game...)

[inlinevoid]

@adribier So how much would you pay if Overgrowth was analog instead? >.>

[Zeath163]

@inlinevoid it already is, you just need to plug in a 360 pad :)

[inlinevoid]

@Zeath163 Read adribier's comment and you'll notice I was being sarcastic lol

[Halibut86]

Looks like it's taken a lot of work to get where this is, but it still doesn't look like a fun game x_x

[BadComenter]

@Halibut86 you are wrong its fun as hell

[Halibut86]

@BadComenter yeah, well, you know that's just like uh your opinion man

[agent576]

@Halibut86 0/10

[Halibut86]

@agent576 yep thats what it looks like to me

[Er0y]

@Halibut86 As a guy who has pre-ordered. I've spent hours already just screwing around and having a great time. It is VERY fun.

[CalvinDWalker]

So is the only way to get this game via Steam? Or can I just download it directly onto my computer on your site?

[Cype3D]

@waffle652 I think that's kind of a good idea. Skydivers straighten themself and fall vertically to be faster and extend themself and fall horizontally to be slower.

[dagdamor1]

Infinitely better than reaching a certain area and BAM HUGE WINDOW OBSCURING FACE COMPLETE WITH JARRING PAUSE saying "HEY YOU PRESS A TO JUMP CUZ YOU NEED TO JUMP"

[waffle652]

You should add a script that halts your acceleration during a fall after a certain speed is reached (IE terminal Velocity). Then, add a mechanic through which you can control your aerodynamics, so you can somewhat control your speed. So, If you want to fall faster, you can, but you'd sustain greater injury from shorter falls. Or slower, so you can take less damage from greater falls.

THEN add a flying squirrel race that has it's OWN gameplay based on gliding! Muahahahahaha!

[Bionuker]

I loved how your voice and the music complemented the gruesome events at the ending.

[Armadillopants92]

Getting my new computer this week =D Finally i can play this game!!!!! So excited. I pre-ordered it a few months ago and i've been going crazyy i havent been able to play it haha

[Wolfehz0r]

@Armadillopants92 Don't expect too much, it's not done yet!

[Armadillopants92]

@Wolfehz0r hahah i know ;) im just excited. I want them to take as much time as they need on this game

[RtraaX]

Good ending.

[ZippyChan]

1:40 "Hear about development News" *Smack!* "As soon as it happens..." *SLAM* You can follow me on twitter at wolfire. *SPLAT!*

[Spytron3030]

Just finish the game.

[1986ERB]

damm with each new preview I want to buy it more!!! Will be awesome when finished, cant wait for dogs!

[rekindledphoenix]

really really awesome! How is the progress for upgrades through steam that was mentioned a few videos ago?

[drillport]

That fall at the end was awesome!

[GiantDoucheNG]

my computer cannot run this at all but i still watch these religiously

[lonebard]

1:36 is an egg?

[SilentEliminator]

1:37, early easter egg? xD

[Franchan10]

the end looked painful

[AllGamesTrailer]

i will buy this if its have mission

[Foxfool228]

I'm also noticing a new GUI color scheme. When was this implemented?

[GOOB3000]

@Foxfool228 5-6 weeks ago ish

[pixelissue]

great ending! aaaaargghhh!!! splat!

[Plestecheune]

Omg, an inter-space dimensionnal machine.

[torcado194]

awesome ending

[VanCan23]

@torcado194 Nothing beats bleed to death bunny.

[killer6468]

LEVEL LOAD AREAS??? I SEE DUNGEONS/HOUSE INTERIORS COMING ALONG!!! (think of Skyrim :P)

[JakeSpringhorn]

I have a feeling this game won't be finished for years and years. Or should I say the alpha.

[roadbuster86]

I guess it's time to work on the jumping animation too.

characters look like hovering in mid air, it has to be a little more dynamic

[TheBigCheezeHipster]

Why rabbits? 

[ostakex]

Only if I didn't hate the art direction so much...

[Foxfool228]

@ostakex If I may ask, how come?

[GOOB3000]

@ostakex wut?

[Spencerrox135]

Ok, you should definitely add one level that will have enemies and is beatable. That would be cool so you don't have to add them yourself. Thx!!!!!!!

[KeshnerfFilms]

Furries...

[16mes]

@KeshnerfFilms Your face is a furry.

[KeshnerfFilms]

@16mes Quite fuzzy it is...

[Gregzenegair]

Splash !

[shaurz]

Bunny crunch

[AceOfQuades]

why is there a brown tint on everything?

[cheeseit126]

FANTASTIC RAGDOLL

[kerrermanis]

Man, all that stuff looks pretty intuitive, great effort! :O

[IndustrialBonecraft]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this game is one of the very few games where the collisions feels visceral enough to potentially make me wince. It's amazing.

[MeesesMakeFeces]

Eggys need to turn into dragons that you can fly on!

[lpasepok]

Aw man! These videos are the highlights of my week :D!

[IAMSHUGO]

splat

[kloplop321]

Enemy head targets the player, but breaks the spine at 1:26-1:28

(the head doesn't move, but the body goes 360)

[ganryusasaki]

Enemy rabbit turned his head 180 during that spin kick there.

[MindTrixx1]

at 1:12 , i always get there then the game just crashes :c

ATI Radeon HD 4550

Vista 64bit.

[captainjeremy]

@MindTrixx1 there's a line in the config file, something like "editormode". make sure thats enabled.

[FrankDaTank1218]

I love this whole game/concept, but honestly I am getting fatigued, when is this releasing?

[Hdfufd1]

make it available for buying through steam!

[MrYoyogre]

@Hdfufd1

1) Launch Steam

2) Launch game

3) Press shift+tab

4) ???

5) PROFIT!

[RicochetSaw]

@Hdfufd1 IT WILL!

[marcusanddoom]

@Hdfufd1 they will they said so on their website, also its worth mentioning if you pre order it form their site you will be able to redeem it on steam later and more money goes to the devs!

[juacoredx]

@Hdfufd1 they would lose a ton of money.

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@juacoredx Not really. They can up the price 15% so they don't.

[peber13]

@Hdfufd1 I think he said that they added some Steam api. So I would imagine that it will be available through steam at release. :)

[BioscenceProductions]

@Hdfufd1 you act like thats an easy task

[mordsinnex]

@BioscenceProductions Derp, it WILL be on Steam. :l

[HellsAngels0012]

@Hdfufd1 nhaa thats a rip off lol steam takes most of the money

[WMan37]

@HellsAngels0012 But it also makes it available to many people because lots of people use steam, and eventually it won't matter what the percentage is that is taken away, if any, because many people would be buying it.

[johotpockets]

@HellsAngels0012 i'm sure the extra publicity would more than make up for it. and no, if they took most of the money, then huge developers like EA and microsoft wouldn't buy into it.

[HellsAngels0012]

@johotpockets ehh it might but by take most of the money they take 10%

and no EA sux :P they havnt had a good game in a LONG time

[valvarexart]

@HellsAngels0012 What I heard they take "ABOUT" 25%. They actually buy licenses to sell a certain amount of games, like 250 000 for a certain amount of money. That's why they can have sales like that.

[HellsAngels0012]

@valvarexart nhaa from what i heard its 10% and they talk to the devs b4 makin a sale

[stro0nger]

i can't belive you did this engine by yourself *O*  you pretend to sell this engine?

[MaMastoast]

I really think the way the arms of the character all instantly stiffly at the sides when jumping looks odd, there is no movement and they're just sticking straight down, they're like this for almost the entire job. I'm currently taking a 3d education and it really bothers me xD... Love the ragdoll physics though, can't believe you've done this all by yourself.

Actually show this to my fellow students and they were quite imoressed

[MaMastoast]

@MaMastoast

Almost the entire jump*

[hendrikwiersma]

Can't wait for the Linux built. Gonna be great!

[owenpat]

wow 0 dislikes

[Nyocurio]

ahh, finally. my weekly dose of crack arrived punctually as always.

[stro0nger]

thats sooo awesome,and this engine looks so easy,what engine is that? you made that engine?

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@stro0nger He made the engine, yes.

[helmesjo]

Pretty funny that your update-videos are the main event of a new week for me, along with a new episode of "The Walking Dead" ;)

[weapon1fan]

@helmesjo

hahaha same with me

monday - overgrowth alpha video

tuesday - walking dead t.2

[neverhoodyn]

@helmesjo

Walking Dead is the worst show on TV right now. I can't believe you watch that shit.

[helmesjo]

@neverhoodyn Apparently not considering how many who is watching it... And how come you can't believe that ->I<- am watching it? Pretty sure you don't know me, and yet you can't believe that I (BIG I AS HELL HERE) am watching it? Are you the eye of sauron?!

[neverhoodyn]

@helmesjo

Millions of people play MW3, does that make it a good game? Nope. Millions of people were Nazis, does that make nazism a good ideaology? Nope. Billions of flies eat shot, does that make shit taste good? Nope.

[MrJacobiusMaximus]

@neverhoodyn u kiddin me? why are you talking about media on a video about a certain video game in its alpha stages? anyways the walking dead is amazing. you may not be a zombie fan, but it IS amazing. but mw3(upper comment) sucks worse than a hoover vacuum cleaner. (ik this contradicts with what i have said before.)

[neverhoodyn]

@MrJacobiusMaximus

I like zombies but walking dead is not about zombies. It's a family drama about 40 minutes of family and love conflicts and 1 minute of zombies.

[MrJacobiusMaximus]

@neverhoodyn i think its awesome. if a show was just about zombies and shooting, it really wouldnt make a whole lot of sense. personally, walking dead is on my top 3 list

[HiredGunGames]

Are you guys releasing the Enigne

??

[PorifersAnims]

@HiredGunGames i belive it comes with the game

[HiredGunGames]

@PorifersAnims yes as i have preordered this, i mean a full release with full control of the engineto make a complete game. :]

[MrDigantro]

these alphas are getting a little boring... please make a gameplay or graphical update this week. i still like these

[ataraxic89]

@MrDigantro at some point he doesnt need to make gameplay or graphical changes

[BigbangNic]

NEW MUSIC? :D

[Raxe88]

AWESOME!

[Feliy0160]

Now, this brings me to whole new ideas.. Kaizo Mario, so to speak.

[iiscotty91ii]

Oh man, the rag doll physics are PERFECT! How is it that an indie developer can get things like this so right when multi million dollar mainstream cannot?

[naitsabes314]

@iiscotty91ii Because multi million dollar mainstream companies put up deadlines the development team constantly have to fight against. Because of this the games aren't always as polished as they could be. :(

[RPGAlien92]

@naitsabes314 Also, million dollar mainstream companies don't really care about polishing their games this much, as it isn't necessarily needed for them to make money... which, unfortunately, is all they really care about.

Indie developers on the other hand, doesn't make money just for the sake of profit (of course they too want profit, as they need to live), but rather because it's fun to be creative and create and polish your work, not to create something very good, but to challenge yourself!

[c4blew]

@RPGAlien92 I wouldn´t say they don´t care about polishing, but they most of the time don´t have the time to! Most game productions have tight deadlines since Game development costs a shitload of money and the publishers (employers) expect the developers (employees) to get their stuff out in time since they (publishers) already made contracts with retailers etc. and have to deliver the game in time! Indies don't have these restrains that much so they are able to polish their games a lot more!

[neverhoodyn]

@RPGAlien92

That's bullshit. You would not say that if million dollar devs were realeasing videos like this every week. I can assure you that alot of work goes behind creating an AA title, way more work than Overgrowth.

[TheDominitri]

@iiscotty91ii The reason why multi-million dollar companies can't make ragdolls look as good is the uncanny valley, most are trying to look "realistic" and when we see someone in game behave even slightly unnatural (such as being a ragdoll), it looks very wrong, weird or silly to us.

[BosakPet]

@TheDominitri I don't think that's what he ment. You see, even in some AAA projects, you can see ragdolls fall into textures before floating up again, twitch rapidly and do other weird things, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

[Frankagator]

@iiscotty91ii

I was thinking that when playing some of the top market releases this month. I just kept thinking back to how well everything functions in overgrowth in comparison.

[GabrielOnuris]

@iiscotty91ii It's called "good will". Indie developers are focused in doing a great job and THEN earning money with it. multi million dollar companies always focus ONLY in the money that their brand alone will bring, so they toss shit on our plates and expect we to eat just because it has a famous logo printed on the box.

[wallex12]

@iiscotty91ii so true

[ZZimster]

@iiscotty91ii its called TIME. 

[IknowWhatImherefor]

@iiscotty91ii GabrielOnuris is right! Big companies do not give their developers adequete time to "massage" numbers and systems into the perfect place. This causes them to approve things as "Good enough, ship it". Very few AAA games have good looking ragdolls upon death, which is most likely some body template they have in their gamedev kit. On the flipside of this, look how much the Wolfire team is taking their sweet time on adding so many features, there is no hard deadline.

[3r1k92]

@iiscotty91ii And the animations in general are outsanding! Bethesda shoul'ved hired these guys for Skyrim...lol

[aidenscool09]

@iiscotty91ii By not having a specific release date, developers can be more relaxed and have time to actuall work and perfect features, rather than cramming everything in to meet the release dates. ;)

[xipheonj]

@iiscotty91ii The real reason is that he doesn't have a manager or producer that took him off that part when it was "good enough." Not to downplay the talent he has of course.

[VoXeR91]

@iiscotty91ii Simple: They rush games for deadlines, indie companies can take their time and really polish a piece of turd to shine (And that's a fact, Mythbusters did it :D) Not that Overgrowth has or could ever be piece of turd... But you know...

[404MULTIFAIL]

@VoXeR91 

[MrSommar25]

@iiscotty91ii mainstream are out to make money as an industry while indie developers want to make a game for gamers to enjoy

[IAMSHUGO]

@iiscotty91ii Their games cost millions to make, and they have to get as much money back as they can, or their company dies, all within a certain timeline. Indies have much more freedom, so they do what they want, when they want, without much consequence. It's not a simple matter of greed, like others suggest.

[CJTheInvader]

@iiscotty91ii I personally am hoping that after they make overgrowth, they all join a popular game company and get high ranking jobs.

They can do so much with so little resources, if they were part of something bigger the quality of games would skyrocket for that company.

Or maybe they can open an institute or something. As a gamer myself, I declare that they should be revolutionizing the game industry right after overgrowth.

[ChaosBW]

@iiscotty91ii ragdoll physics have been perfect since they were invented, nothing has changed, they are ragdoll physics!

BUT, ragdoll physics are old and laughable, saints row uses ragdolls still.

GTA uses euphoria.

If you don't know what euphoria is, you should really look it up.

to save you the time /watch?v=KoES90f-0pk

Although euphoria is better then ragdolls, even euphoria is out of date, Endorphin is better.

[LE0NSKA]

@iiscotty91ii i was thinking the same about the blood physics! just outstanding

[DrSulfurious]

@iiscotty91ii There's a difference in skill.

[KarmineSpot]

Now this is worlds most detailed description of every single game data. I bet the subscribers always check the tab for Overgrowth Alpha updates! Thumbs up if you agree!

[Technobanana]

Fucking genius

[Dahlheim]

are you using f.lux while recording this video or something? looks just like it

[LtVictor1]

Make this into a sin city game lol :D

[smashbi121]

That fighting scene.

ME GUSTA.

[Stearance]

@smashbi121

Go back to Reddit please.

[Phur3ouZ]

Oh god please don't tell me that's how fast you really type.. That's insane.. (0:33 seconds)

[NightmareNinja91]

@Phur3ouZ

the editing parts are fast forwarded, to make the video shorter. Or he's a robot.

[JhayDizzle]

perfect final jump cut.

[punica456]

how does the unconscious/dead bunny from 1:45 still hold its protection position?

[09gh]

It looks a bit more brown than usual.

[dsi24]

That splurt of blood from the neck and that crunching noise... ;_;

[BassPounderX]

for some reason thing looked better in this video like idk somethgin inadded yet
