[R3dR0ck3t7]

Can you use a USB connected Xbox controller?

[MultiMonsterFish]

[Tutorialandgamplay99]

how to two player on keyboard

[RiderCore]

[JakyRedEyes]

This guy knows what the peoples want, props pal.

[KeshnerfFilms]

1:16 oh boy...

[ufojoedude]

So then this game will have multiplayer? That's i a nice addition and could be really fun.

[Theremanppdas]

[MorganCupkakke]

[pivotmasterXD2000]

38:00 SPARTAAA!

[CharlieboiiGaming]

how to play multiplayer on mac?

[EPICMOTAGE]

i have a good idea how bout there be like shops around the world that u can by new outfits from!

[XxDahamonnahxX]

making the splitscreen vertical instead of horizontal is alot better

player1 controls the upper screen

and player2 controls the lower screen

[SuperProBit]

@XxDahamonnahxX Screen is split vertically at the moment.

Upper/Lower would be a horizontal split.

Vertical split is left/right as shown in the video, with 99% of new monitors being 16:9 widescreen it makes more sense to do it left/right than to do it up/down.

[Bonethugs333]

im really looking forward to play split screen with my friends

[atmmachine11]

Oh my gosh I wish I had money :) Ive been watching overgrowth development for a long time now...I want to preorder so bad! :D

[Noblaum]

@AnonNewsman It looks that way, doesn't it? It actually has an incredible combat engine. I don't know why they picked rabbits to ninja-fy, but it actually works perfectly. If they used people it would look weird.

[Noblaum]

@UberTrevor It's in alpha for a reason, they'll add Steam support when it's finished.

[MegaChr1sty]

this is no match to voxatron ;)

[Noblaum]

@MegaChr1sty Neither games are done. And why compare ninja-rabbit melee to blocky robot shooters?

[CharizardNoob]

Game looks miles better than Skyrim.

[DrTranify]

@CharizardNoob ...no

[Tiorpk]

Nice vid :) Might get the game

[Derpburger]

intently listening to player bugs and issues. That's a rarity in games nowadays

[siggibiggy]

@Derpburger Why I love Indie game developers so fucking much.

[RossMarlow]

Holy fuck, that kill at 2:11.

Matrix up in this bitch.

[Maxaker67]

will this support two screens?

[tRaShGuTz]

Two words: Dis. Memberment! ^^

[Alrold]

1 sec , you are working on win7 ??? really ? you are really a brave man .

[tRaShGuTz]

@Alrold don't mix up 7 and vista

[Alrold]

@tRaShGuTz same shit other name , at least I expect that machine were he works don have acces to the internet at least not direcly .

[tRaShGuTz]

@Alrold I've never experienced such a stable OS, and I have a shitty laptop; he probably works on a PC i couldn't even afford, so he should be fine. Plus, look at what he's acomplishing with it ;)

[Alrold]

@tRaShGuTz did you try any other OS ? I mean not windows ? .

[tRaShGuTz]

@Alrold Yeah, vista.....was so unstable, after one year of usage, my computer was unusable and it's moitherboard died. I had an old computer running windows xp, and given the shitty specs, it survived a relatively long time...Oh, other than windows? Briefly encountered Linux and did some computer classes on mac, it looked weird to me, but is by definition much more stable than windows in general, though windows 7 IS exeptionally stable if you don't strain it too much.

[GOOB3000]

@Alrold Lol. Wth?

[HabeKeinMitleid]

David is FUCKING inspiring. :) After about 6 years of programming and game development on and off, it's such a great hobby that I now try to find the time to do more of.

[flonga1]

This is incredible. Are you going to have SDK support on retail? Def gonna get this. I would love to see AAA take some of your ideas (your attention to detail on blood effects, body physics, body animation, etc) and implement it.

[GOOB3000]

@flonga1 Mod SDK? of course

[Ferusolin]

The combat in this game reminds me a lot of the later Jedi Knight series. I like it :) I'll be sure to buy this.

[TrueDren]

As far as the enemies not falling off a cliff on accident, I honestly cannot recall a game that I've played that does this. Kudos! :D

[JsJr101]

wolfire i subscribed to your youtube account so can you answer this question plz if u buy preorder will you get the full game when it comes out ,and when you get alphas is it 30.00$ each?

[naerey]

@JsJr101 yes you get full game, alphas are free

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@JsJr101 You pre-order. You get the game once is completed, and you get access to all alphas. You don't have to pay extra.

[mybox1991]

a controller is that a ps3 controller or a xbox 369 controller or a spesial controller for pc?

[Kasotomic]

maybe you can at that you can cut of your enemies head's or their arm to add a more gory effect to the game? and if someone don't like it you can switch it off on options :p

[Janosevic80]

Brought the game.Epic shit.Can't w8 for the real release keep up the good work.

[AstartesWolf]

@UberTrevor i sure hope not

[DamuEmran]

I came here because of Inside gaming. I also like furry characters

[mclaren777]

I love the ragdoll animations.

[rekindledphoenix]

thumbs up if your mouse went to close the error within the video

[GOOB3000]

@rekindledphoenix Lmao! big thumbs down for you :p

[ColloseusXReturns]

Now all you need to do is add some networking for online multiplayer and this game is perfect :D

[robertpicklesnickle]

you should be put in charge of making the redwall games

[RhinoSea]

You should add a hat store

[Tenrou2]

Looks great. I just think the normal jump should be toned down a bit. Maybe the current jump could be a "super jump" that way you could still showcase the rabbit's jump power. The normal jump seems too floaty in my opinion.

[Moue666]

Oh jeez I thought I got an actual error.

[PHeMoX]

Want Want Want!

Very nice stuff man, keep at it.

[snipersas]

looking good

[muffinsdotexe]

Am I the only one who thinks that the slow motion is really really obnoxious?

[Peeveser]

I think the blood is too bright.

[Juma1st]

I lOVE THE GAME OF OVERGROWTH SO I WRITE IN CAPSLOCK

[AnarickTheDevil]

So is this an actual game there working on or is it a game maker tool type of thing?

[Ninjaculation]

@AnarickTheDevil they are making a game. You have to have game maker tools in order to make a game. Check their blog out some time wolfiredotcom

[moorg745]

@ShotgunRocket Try making an actual point.

[furkelnurkel]

game looks awesome cant wait for realse day!

[QuestH123]

Poor david, had no one to play 2 player with :(

[RadGH]

1:56 Y U NO KICK RABBIT

[andrey9797]

Can you please have like a special sale of the game on Christmas?

[andrey9797]

Split screen???

Yesssssssssssssssssss

[minimums7]

Bunnys killed in Alpha: 26421134 and counting :D Great work @WolfireGames

[Tutorialandgamplay99]

Fuckin! fuck! fuck! bITCH! WTf! LMFAO!!!

[Rahhzor]

I have a thing to say. yes, they don't jump off cliffs, but I think that there should be 50% chance to fall, and to not fall: they are not looking at the cliff behind them, and since they are distracted, they may fall.

[MBAustin13]

@Rahhzor

Maybe more like a 10% chance to fall, and have them stay a small margin away from the cliff edge (like real people would). Otherwise you could just "scare" all your enemies into killing themselves XD

[Cimmantti]

That was so fetch.

[nukularwessels]

I havent seen a game do that wall-run-to-flip-to-kill move since sands of time. Mind blown.

[Cimmantti]

What sort of "program" do you guys use? Cuz at the beginning I can sorta see like a taskbar type-thing?

[Adam1927]

@Cimmantti That's just the editor interface - the engine was built by David specifically for Overgrowth.

[Cimmantti]

@Adam1927 ...how do you build an engine. ._. What program? XD

[Adam1927]

@Cimmantti I know nothing about programming/coding/development­, but I don't think there's any one 'program' you can use to create a game or engine (unless we're talking about something like RPG Maker).. you need a coding language, a graphics API, programs to model, animate, and texture objects among other things.

[gabrielverdon1]

@Cimmantti A lot of it is probably done in Visual Studio, which is a programming "IDE," or Integrated Development Environment. But the more important thing is to know a programming language like C++.

[Idekaks]

It certainly looks a lot like C++, but I don't think these "0.0f" are legal in C++.

[z3dar]

Damn this is interesting to follow your progress.

This really helps me to understand the process of game making much better.

You should really think about implementing dismemberment in the game.

I haven't seen that in many games yet, but based on what you've done so far, I'm sure you could come up with a good way to do it.

[felixderdritte]

The improvements to the AI are looking good! However the AI tends to back itself towards a cliff, which most (sane) people won't do. Perhaps the AI could shy away from large drops

[ThePferdemensch]

It's growing!

[nobodypersonsomeone]

What language is that? Is it C#?

[SuperShadow]

@nobodypersonsomeone I think it's C++.

[tutlex]

@SuperShadow And ANgleScript

[jamesjohnson88]

IdrA?!

[Raijian9]

This is very impressive work. Very inspiring to see some good indie activity.

Thank you for all of your hard and dedicated work. I'll be buying this in the near future :)

[triumph243]

ok getting it

[roflcopter3005]

I want this game so very badly. Can't wait to see the finished product. The blood effects look wonderful, and the map layouts look phenomenal.

[hendrikwiersma]

@roflcopter3005 Why don't you preorder? Then you can play the Alphas.

[BadComenter]

these are the only reasons I look forward to mondays

[facuriosan]

you should add a way to steal weapons from your enemy's hands or at least punching him in a certain way that makes him drop the weapon

[dem0nk1d123]

Why cant legit devs do this kinda stuff?

[NOPEDotJayPeg]

The combat in this is so fluid and organic looking, It would be cool to see some type of decapitation/limb removing mechanic.

[Shrubberee]

Beautiful! Can't wait to try out the spltiscreen. I'd love to bash my friend's heads in and then drag them around...

[AluminumHaste]

<3

[ddgxstatic]

yes aye! look some heavy cutlas chop man getting lol

[St8Solja]

So when is this coming out?

[945pie]

@St8Solja no time soon as far as I can tell, they have just started working on story and are still fixing out bugs and such. Hope this helped.

[AshRothPhan]

2:07 fuckin amazing

[siden313]

@AshRothPhan

What is so amazing there ?

[smaug131]

@siden313 turner uses magic on the enemie :P

[Crunchieman]

amazing!

cant wait till a bunnies souls update

[thedancingradish]

this is so awsome!!! omg

[srj6w4u]

With every new video this gets just more and more awesome. Can we have self inflatable pocket sizes wolverines to throw on enemy bunnies, and like steroids to make even bigger wolverines? Every bunny should have a rabid wolverine pet on steroids.

[GOOB3000]

I think the AI should just fall off because that's always a funny thing to see in a game xD

[Winstonsicle]

You should make it so the enemies try to avoid getting cornered against a wall or at the edge of a cliff.

[shortinos]

"I'm actually trying to control both at the same time in this video" - Forever Alone

[AwayToSlay]

looks awesome :3

[ThinkTankerMeeks]

Will we be able to make a multiplayer games where one person is essentially a camera (and can screencapture on their computer) while other Player Characters are able to act within the level? I want to make Overgrowth Machinima!

[IceTehFurz]

@ThinkTankerMeeks I'm sure there will be eventually. It's too early into the alpha to assume though. They already made it so you can make custom gestures and movements (and the text-to-animation), so it would be probable in due time.

[Aratrok1]

@ThinkTankerMeeks I would SO love that! Hell yeah, I'm with you man.

[siden313]

@ThinkTankerMeeks

Thats actually great point ! :)

[JeeOnFire]

@ThinkTankerMeeks I can say that YES, it will be possible, thanks to Phoenix engine that will allow people to make their own scripts

[yourpersonalspammer]

could you make a video on how to update from one alpha to the next please?

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@yourpersonalspammer If you pre-ordered, there's a forum at wolfire.com where you can get instructions for that.

[yourpersonalspammer]

@NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa I know, I read that once but I didn't understand it. Maybe I wasn't concentrating but a video would make it easier to follow.

[AeroFlameX]

551 likes, 1 dislike. Seems legit

[EatNipples]

@AeroFlameX and that one dislike probably came from the guy that just posted before you, called "meantism" who cannot see a point in this game....

[MinecraftMonster10]

One of the first videos of the game I've seen so far, Now I need to find some money...

[kshep92]

I really wish I studied game development instead of web dev. I would love to help you out on this project

[maddeku0]

will someone please help me out here im probably just being a dumbass but... i have preordered and downloaded the alpha, but everytime, right before a level is about to load, the game quits and doesn't give any sort of explanation. the last version of the alpha i downloaded was 144 i think and im using mac os x 10.5.8 on a laptop, also i have lugaru witch works fine

[Adam1927]

@maddeku0 Are you sure you have hardware capable of running it? Post the logfile created after the crash on the SPF.

[naerey]

i love the blood effects

[johnny1o1o]

@naerey check out ma videos! very blood-centric

[Kadda67]

Bring programming gameplay elements back to the front!!! Not graphics!

[CorporalHotdogs]

@Kadda67 WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS ABOUT?

Nothing about this had anything to do with graphical improvements.

[Kadda67]

@CorporalHotdogs Ehm yes. That was my point.

[GOOB3000]

@Kadda67 yeah seriously, dude. wtf?

[TheBannanaOfRazors]

What I was trying to say is that if two guards meet eachother and start to have a conversation it would be easy to sneak past them, I couldn't say this because I ran out of letters.

[TheBannanaOfRazors]

You should make it so that when you are holding a weapon, like the big sword, the enemies will stay a few feet away from you, because they're afraid of you. And when they are going to attack you they only try to do it in a safe way, like counterattacks. If there are multiple enemies they should surround you and try to trap you. You should also add some dialog between two guards, imagine two guards patroling meet eachother and they turn to eachother and start having a conversation, and sneak past

[kycopp]

this reminds me of the jedi knight series lol, i will definitely be playing this game

[EvilKnebl]

multiplayer!! =)))))) been waiting for this for a year =P

[jangerhard2]

What language is used for the coding? 

[Adam1927]

@jangerhard2 C++ I believe. Do a Google search for 'wolfire choosing a scripting language' and click on the first search result that appears - David goes over it in-depth in that blog post.

[meantism]

what the fuck is the point of this game

[Adam1927]

@meantism Same as every other game I'd imagine. 

[EatNipples]

@meantism oh please, go home and die.

The game is already incredible awesome even when it's only in alpha stadium...

[meantism]

@EatNipples Go home and die? Because this game looks like complete trash? You're a fucking fool.

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@meantism Please state why does the game look like garbage, and someone might take you seriously once in your life.

[meantism]

@NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa What's more to it? All I see is a generic game of sorts; no objectives that I see. So you tell me OH WISE ONE, what is the purpose of the game, then?

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

@meantism It's a sequel to fighting game called "Lugaru", which was fairly great. You should go look things up before spewing out crap. Trust me, it works better that way.

Just so you know, using terms like "generic" incorrectly will make you look like a fool.

[meantism]

@NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa your e-penis is raging right now

[SerraFlame]

@meantism The word you're looking for is ALPHA. The game mechanics and assets are still in production, and story/objectives are fairly far in the future. Don't criticize a game that's unfinished.

[ThinkTankerMeeks]

@meantism They're currently in the Alpha stages, meaning they're currently building the system, and when its done, objectives, story, characters, etc. will be able to be created and defined within the system. Rome wasn't built in a day.

[meantism]

@ThinkTankerMeeks hey! finally! not an outrageous douchebag!

[goofy775]

@meantism how do you think a game is developed... this isn't a game yet.. its still in alpha stages.. hes just working out game mechanics etc..

[meantism]

@goofy775 WORD

[splatterkkk]

@meantism oh ho ho, no objectives, minecraft has no true objective, the end is not the end of the game, besides its in ALPHA, he will concentrate on objectives later, you can make town infiltration missions already, its just harder, dumbass

[inlinevoid]

@meantism Lol, this game looks like complete trash? Please, sir, learn something about game development before you spew your ignorance onto Youtube. It'll save you the embarrassment of looking like a complete moron.

[meantism]

@inlinevoid who are you?

[TheVanstones]

@meantism Sup best frendo, just think about it. NOt gonna be an a hole here, but before you start calling games COMPLETE TRASH, please, do respect at the first of the video when he clearly says "In this video, we show you the changes in Overgrowth ALPHA (means really early in development, shouldn't have quests, shouldn't look like Battlefield 3) But just remember that :D Buddee

[Noblaum]

@meantism To cause rabbits and wolves to die horribly.

[0coldfinger0]

Aw, it would've been funny to see the enemy fall off a cliff! Oh well, I still love this game and it's updates :D

[adem44a]

I like how when you fix something, you don't just say that you fixed it, you actually explain how you fixed it/got around it. Awesome update, keep em coming. :)

[Thet3]

I am pre ordering!

[BeastlyRig]

Amazing! I hope it becomes as successful as Minecraft!

[shadowd63]

@BeastlyRig Hope it comes onto consoles like MC too. It looks like this could honestly make it.

[iiGerardoii]

i love you guys

[IUsedToBeNumberOne]

I know that this game is extremely early in development and the combat system isn't finished yet, but can I have a rough guess as to when a combat tutorial will be implemented?

[oskarito2001]

how to download update?

[Adam1927]

@oskarito2001 The same way you download it every week - check the SPF for the stickied thread.

[fighterpiolt1992]

what about adding towns and cities that have clan wars?

[Noblaum]

@fighterpiolt1992 It's not open-world. They do have a city map and multi-player mode, though, which would be interesting to stage a team deathmatch of sorts in. As of now you could just put enemies in there and be a one-man army.

[MartinCanMakeMovies]

You sound like Travis from Household Hackers :)

[MisterShizno]

this looks like soo much fun.. too bad im a poor bugger
