Dynamic Shadows In Overgrowth - Wolfire Games

[MrSaggat]

I love the 3d meshes in this game

god bless blender.

[estalling]

I would love to see a Diablo style RPG made by wolfire. I love the engine.

[effov]

love the music, this game is going to be awsome

[WarMasterX6]

So this is how a god spends his time :3

[llamameal1]

i like the music

[TheKiimii]

What music is playing in the video?:D It's awesome.

[mikkelmmk18]

What is the music?

[WhatDaHellicopter]

Whale-man!

[scumlander]

@WhatDaHellicopter RRAAAAAAAAAAGH I am not amused!

[TheSliderW]

Dynamic loading of content.

Any recent engine can do it.

Delta force series had with voxel based tiled and infinite landscapes

[Independentsoul85]

dragonjett... get a glue .... U don´t know anything

[Mak123451]

is this free and can u place other AI

[DragoonJett]

Can the Pheonix engine create maps that are 100 times larger than the real earth? No?

Well the cryengine can.

[SteelRvn]

Makes me wonder if even you know what the hell you're talking bout?

[DragoonJett]

Your right I didn't research what the CryEngine 2 could do sorry.

It can create maps 458 time the size of the earth,

which is 68,719,476,736 square kilometers of playable area.

[SteelRvn]

Eh, yeah.. true... But still... No1 would EVER want to create that huge maps, not in cryengine or phoenix or whatever. Just because it's theoreticaly possible doesn't mean it's practically possible m'kay?

But if you come across any computer that can handle those plains of empty space, be sure to /gief :D!

[DragoonJett]

The point is not that it can be done now,

but in 5 years which engine do you think will be used more, pheonix engine, or CryEngine.

[SteelRvn]

CryEngine ofc, you can't compare an independent game producer's engine with one developed by a massive company imo. Source is still the best engine nevertheless.

[Profanwolf]

Source is not the best engine, it's dated.

Cryengine isn't any fucking miracle either, go do research.

[NihilisticHypothesis]

I can code support for creating maps with infinite playable area.

(only limited by the memory of the hardware)

That doesn't mean it's impressive or a good idea..

[deadoon]

Just because cryengine 2 can contain that much area without crashing doesn't mean it will run it well or that it would be very detailed.

[callinstead09]

ROFL NO IT CAN'T! omfg

[Sepulchie]

who cares?

[Nevaeh225]

What is this game Overgrowth supposed to be about?

[Eagle0600]

Overgrowth is the sequel to Lugaru, a very good fighting game. I can only suppose that Overgrowth will be much the same.

[thelooker28]

this is awesome.

now all you need is:

Physics and Dynamic Lighting

[Jam0864]

Pretty sure they already have both of those. :S

[thelooker28]

O_O CryEngine better watch out.

[ensenhest]

This is not nearly as good looking as the cry-engine

[thelooker28]

True, but if the Pheonix engine keeps getting upgraded it will be as good as the CryEngine.

[pabsensi]

@thelooker28 Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), (art) of the Muses.

[llamameal1]

@pabsensi is that a) you like it b) you wanna seem smart c) you don't like it?????

[pabsensi]

@llamameal1 I will choose a), since the option: "you copied the comment right out of wikipedia just because you wanted to" wasn't available.

[SteveAkaDarktimes]

but runs about 10 times better, wont suck your fps and probably have better gameplay then crysis. quiet your nerdgasm about the glorious cryengine.

[ensenhest]

"nerdgasm"? wtf mate?

[DJBassEnergy]

but i bet this is easyer to use so you dont need to be a complete nerd to make a little map

[thelooker28]

you've got a point, Cryengine mappers/modelers have to be seriously skilled.

All I can do is place a vehicle.

[TheHienna]

good job!

[miRajY]

the render is very beautiful, was this particular clay/paint look achieved with shader ?

also it looks like the scene is lit with a light sphere of some sort, the blue of non directly lit area is similar to an area light or 1st bounce global illumination

[l2enegadesofFunk]
