Overgrowth Alpha 115 changes - Wolfire Games

[tjholowaychukable]

you build a game like this and you say a color picker is complicated? I wrote an identical one in a few minutes, but I certainly could not build this game haha

[Regginyaga]

Shut up and take my money!

[FreeRoamProductions]

Would I be able to put a character such as sgt johnson from the halo franchise using your blender technique video? you know with rigging and such?

[Korban3]

@FreeRoamProductions Yup. I don't think Aubrey has a released a full tutorial as they haven't streamlined the character creation process yet, but sometime.

[Mastee157]

mmh good.,

*preorder game*



[Di1994Ma]

Hello, I can put the big game window across the screen? Esque run the game and I get in small window.

[hansvonde]

bought it for 9 euros

[Korban3]

I got two comments here. 1) I think you guys should shloud make an epic fight video. All combat awesome. Just for fun? 2) How on Earth do 4 guys do in a week, what a professional team could do in a month?!?! I mean what are you guys, Gods?

[Janosevic80]

This game is really epic.I never seen such i cool game.really good done.It is sad i can't preoder it so i need to download it illegally.But as soon as the game comes out i will download it

[halflifefan84]

This game looks amazing! I've only watched about 5 videos and I'm already gunna ask my parents if I can pre order it! I know my 9800gt will probably suffer when trying to play this, but I don't care, I want to at least be proud that I pre ordered such a game :)

[angelmarine1292]

I WOULD pre-order, but the price is a bit steep for an inde title, was expecting $20 max. I know I sound cheap, and it looks cool, but again a bit pricey for an Inde title.

[TheLetterY13]

@angelmarine1292

Well, I preordered it and I think the alphas are worth it by far.

[SharrkyX]

@angelmarine1292 Its an Indie game, but any indiegame might be better than any other big games. This looks freaking amazing, with only 4 people making it.

Im currently in love with lugar HD demo :P

[LittleBigJoey]

@SharrkyX Yeah this game seems focused round the fans, not the money

[boredman443]

Tap/hold controls can be extremely annoying in games. Especially in an intensive fight, they can screw the player over by the wrong thing the wrong moment.

[Kolosos007]

Goddamn! Fighting looks....EPIC!

[Kugluck]

Wanna see ears along back, when running. For aerodynamic ninja style.

[Arnie1000351]

could you get this game on steam i don't mind but if it were on steam it would sell alot more

[ThatsoLiger]

@Arnie1000351 It would sell alot more but they would not make as much

[Arnie1000351]

@ThatsoLiger probly true

[3d834]

I really hope they do put other characters in such as the mouse, the cat and the dog!

[ZebbeXD]

@3d834 if they don't.... I do

[3d834]

@JesterTheMiner Yeah this is way better than minecraft

[zap54312]

I gotta say, this looks like a great game, too bad I'm too much of a cheep-ass to pre-order. Also, the fact that the characters are animals is kind of off-putting, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

[TheArin]

That's pretty damn cool. Users will definitely make some interest levels with the color picker/overbrightness tools. Great work Wolfire!

[Rewiinded]

Too bad it's a furfag game.

[eliacentoeni]

LIKE LIKE LIKE!

[kittyburger000]

Wolfire if you fix the stand-up animation (After you get knocked down) i will pre-order!!!!

[Azminday]

We need first person!!!!!

And you people never cease to amaze me.

[fingerboy18]

You guys are like blizzard only you show us that you're working haha.

[tuxsbro]

Thats super awesome you use webkit like that

[SteelTipped1]

goddamn it i wish this game would come out already. i'm dying for the finished product

[Boaal]

These guys think of everything!

[zwerty007]

Now we can make a mirror's edge set that actually looks like mirror's edge

[contracide]

when i pre order am i free to change the game as well....may be send in some of my changes...

[ShockRawTecTalk]

Lol how do you download the update again ... always forget D:<

[zwerty007]

@ShockRawTecTalk goto secret preorder forum and look at the thread

[scumlander]

@synthkid220 In actual gameplay, it's really quite useful, at least in Lugaru it was; since it indicates an enemy death during regular hand to hand combat, which is pretty important when you've got a ton of guys around you, and fists are flying everywhere. Plus it feels awesome and boosts your confidence while fighting, which is super important when against such aggressive AI.

[TheHitez]

@synthkid220 or a simple toggle button

[TheHitez]

You know how I can tell I'm playing an amazing game? when I feel fully immersed in the world. how do I know when I am fully immersed? when I have fun just RUNNING AROUND NOWHERE in particular!

Grand Theft Auto was the last game I had the feeling of enjoying just joy-riding. And now as a ninja rabbit doing flips in the woods. awesome. TY Wolfire games for this fun little experience!

[coffeeCollie]

How easy is it to add human models to this game, and use them in gameplay?

[drrednek]

@coffeeCollie Very easy actually, it's demonstrated in one of their videos.

[sporeguy99]

@coffeeCollie Don't you think it would look weird if you saw a human jump 20 feet into the air?

[coffeeCollie]

@sporeguy99 Would it be less weird to see anthropomorphic rabbits doing it, really? :D

[zwerty007]

@coffeeCollie When my friend said the jumping in lugaru looked unrealistic, my response was 'They're rabbits.'

[coffeeCollie]

@zwerty007 several-foot-tall talking bipedal rabbits~

[siden313]

@sporeguy99 I am sure they will add a feature which will allow you to change in-game phisics, so it will not look weird;]

[GaidinTS]

I look forward to these updates every week. thanks

[Astanize]

i got a vanilla card to buy it but you cant put that money directly on paypal or google checkout!! and im in Canada so i cant use the amazon service... is there another way?!

[Frutol]

i really need 30$ on paypal :(

[shaurz]

Oh cool, it your whole UI based on webkit?

[bamyo53]

@shaurz I'm pretty sure it is. One of their guys is really awesome in Webkit Web UI stuff.

[shaurz]

@bamyo53 It's a pretty clever idea, I would never have though of it myself. I know a lot of games use Flash these days for the GUI but that is new to me.

[efrejok]

Really nice ragdoll physics! :D

[MisterMayong]

i would like to know before i preorder the game, what the system requirements for this game are. do you need an high-end pc or can an average pc handle that game with good looking graphics?

[limozeen64]

Its funny this game witch is being made by 5 guys in their basement looks better then most of the games coming out this year.

[Worstplayer]

Will there be an option to turn off camera inertia completely? It has no place in a mouse controlled game IMO and completely ruined Assassin's Creed and Prototype for me.

[maarten562]

That throw is sick!

[hexmanhex]

do yyou have already storyline for the game?

[MayAnneNaze]

You make me proud to be a gamer Wolfire! =)

[VHASE]

it's official. you guys rock!

[BjarkeDuDe]

how can four guys manage to make such a kick ass game!?

[MrGilatar]

@BjarkeDuDe They're just .. awesome I guess :D

[Fjudin]

Pre-ordered!

[W4rr1orZ]

I'd really like to preorder,but I still don't have the money ... (steam winter sales..)

But I can say that I really enjoyed Lugaru,it was different.Simply fun.

[alyon59]

Just a couple of question.

!) Do you have a sound track for this game or plan on composing one?

and

2)Do you have promotional accounts on site for people who would be interested in this sort of media?

[XxSchlongConneryxX]

when are we getting weapon animations? i really wanna cut down some bunnies with some heavy ass hammers

[chadoftoons]

Are you graphic nerds? this is so extremly cool like making out photoshop a game xD

[likesoursugar]

I will preorder today :)

[sporeisGOD1]

yeah shakes a good "idea" but needs work on speed and power of shake, but im loving that your trying new things out it makes me so happy to see REAL game development! =)

[Makrillol]

I really want to preorder this game but i dont really know what i am supposed to do with it

[MDxm3000]

@Makrillol: Play around with the alpha, make some models in blender and design a level for yourself and stuff it's pretty easy.

[raket94]

Amazing!

But please change the camera shake. Doesn't look very good :/

[lRever]

I've pre orderd the game and found myself not only enjoying the alpha gameplay but seeing the progress of making a game aswell.

[turunen45]

You do have some ideas that would make other developers find shortcuts, substitutes or even totally discard the ideas. You would make a nice bunch of developers for a bigger company...

[tycoonassassin]

But I liked running around with upside down camera... bawr

[PowerFuzion]

also imo, not a fan of the camera shake, the slow mo with impact gave it the right feel already, maby and blurring (motion blur) but i wouldnt go with the shake <^^

[xerilon]

Amazing!

[TRAdamTM]

imo the camera-shake doesnt look very good, it would be better to just have a quick strong zoom-out or camera movement in the particular direction of the impact (with a slight motion blur)

[Phur3ouZ]

Noticing lots of people having thoughts about the shakes - personally, I think it's a good idea, because it gives the impression of 'power' and the power just creates sonic waves from impact.

But going on to the main point, yeah, if you persist with the shakes, make it an option, to be enabled or disabled, then everyones happy.

Though really, Wolfire..no one can be unhappy with your product, it is, in short, amazing, brilliant and really well thought out :D

[ZayanuZaroc]

I'm going to preorder it tomorrow! :D

[Scykei]

The camera shake on impact seems weird but that's probably just me.

[Rafaelinux]

A slower, although stronger shake would be better (slower frequency, higher amplitude, if that makes any more sense ^^'')

And these yellow-tinted steps look just awesome.

[cromos]

I'm so proud of having pre-ordered in the early development stages and seen this take form. It'll be one of the most well thought games ever.

[l2enegadesofFunk]

@cromos Haha, me too. I've been a devoted member of the Wolfire community since 2005. I'm a veteran of the Forums and have pretty much always been active on them. I've seen this project too every single one of its stages. =D

[BigbangNic]

@cromos i second that! Didn't regret pre-ordering it either.

[MidBoss]

So awesome.

[joeshcosmo]

I don't know if I like the camera shake.... maybe with some tweaking it might work. I know it's in the early stages, but it seems like it might get annoying. I don't really like those shaky cam movies. I just want them to hold still so I can see the action. Just my thoughts, take them for what they're worth. Keep up the good work though. This is officially my most anticipated game, and any day now I'm gonna pre-order this thing.

[smileman66]

Excellent. Keep it up, guys.

[nomnomSam]

I really need to pre-order this game already.

[rekindledsoftware]

@nomnomSam same here.

[ogzwqe]

@nomnomSam They really need to release an auto-updater..... I bought the game a year ago, and haven't DLed bcz on the lack of auto-updater, bcz I had to re-DL every single file -_-

[pjotrkiller]

@ogzwqe

Noob, they added a "download updated files only" option now, updating from 114 to 115 is only 37mb...
