Overgrowth Alpha 152 changes - Wolfire Games

[baatarishero]

at the end: LIKE A BOSS

[SonicWind149]

I'm guessing you'll have to hide the bodies of unconscious enemies in the final game to ensure you don't cause suspicion among the enemies that are still awake or alive.

[yubaa2]

vai marques zero !

[ProjectXero35]

This game...makes my dick....ROCK HARD...

[Akashic8Lamb]

Female bunehs?

[chewbakadude123]

need to do different animations for when your running fast and walking slower, cause running fast atm is just him flailing arms and feet like crazy, but the game looks great, keep up the good work (I know your gona get around to this eventually ;)

[shoopoop21]

Finally, NOW I can knock out anthropomorphic rabbits and position them in humorous and compromising ways!

Thank you, Wolfire!

[arthuro13]

Did the choke hold to some prick on the bus the other day.. guy was about 18 and grabbed this girl by the neck. i was all FUCK NO NOT ON MY WATCH and he passed out :/ bus driver kicked me out.

[zaw2001able]

overgrowth should make it so you can cut someones limbs off so it is more realistic

[rexymoo22]

hitman bunneh :0

[Animatorx96]

Did anyone else notice Alpha 151 is missing?

[Sara3346]

Hey I just released if you drag or pull something hard enough wouldn't the muscle tear?

[xTipshedax]

Stealth is awesome for this! And the choke hold is hilarious and awesome!

[smaug131]

awesome... but I wonder, can you keep dead and alive rabbits as shield against others? I'd love to grab an enemie from behind like this, but not killing it, just making it unconscious, so I can use this human shieldto stop others from attacking me, and taking advantage of the confusion when I throw my victim between them.

yay at my crappy english :D

[TheDarthNefarian]

@smaug131 You mean rabbit shield? XD

[smaug131]

@TheDarthNefarian yeah, forgot about that XD

[SalskeMusic]

I think u should add the ability to throw weapons and grab it again. :)

[MagFlare]

@SalskeMusic That's already in, though, innit?

[MrYoyogre]

All game that allow to be stealth HAVE to allow piling up corpses.

This game is no exception ;p

[ZzRvXzZ]

LOL PLEASE SOME HELP ME... i have a problem with this alpha

when the game finishes loading the map, it freezes for ever... the ingame vision doesn't show up... it freezes with the loading phrases like "loading penis..."

and theres some editing interfaces as well, but no ingame vision...

HELP ME

ps: i also can't move the mouse :/

[rocker398]

@ZzRvXzZ This fixed it for me, Go into your config.txt file in your My Documents/Wolfire/Overgrowth/D­ata/config.txt and change "editor_mode: false" to true "editor_mode: true"

[lcjj7]

Is... is this a game where you are a giant rabbit who goes around killing other various giant animals?

Take my money!

[frozencold199]

These videos are amazing, I think all games developers should share alpha game play just to see how things are going, its always interesting watching a game go from buggy to complete and it really makes me want to buy it

[garavel222]

Solid rabbit?

[NIALL07ADD]

thats a rear naked choke

[billykey123]

if an enemy sees his best friend dead on floor will he go go for help he or just ignore it

[Preevailer]

compare overgrowth to WoW...

[inlinevoid]

@Preevailer You can't. They are two completely different games.

[Adam1927]

@XxBlessedSpiritxX Overgrowth is 'compatible with Intels', whatever that means. If you're talking about Intel integrated graphics processors, then I wouldn't hold my breath - those things aren't designed to play anything at a reasonable framerate, so even if you could get it running you'd still likely be playing a slideshow.

[rich1051414]

@XxBlessedSpiritxX what? do you mean windows? you do realize linux and windows runs on the same hardware, intel is only a brand of processor. if you mean integrated graphics, it probably will be, but intel has very poor performance, and will probably be near a unplayable framerate. you can pick up a 40 dollar graphics card and it should run like silk on lower resolutions.

[XxBlessedSpiritxX]

@rich1051414 im getting a new computer... WITH a NON-INTEL (or whatever) GRAPHICS CARD

[rich1051414]

@XxBlessedSpiritxX amd has much better integrated graphics than intel since they are based on ati cores, but integrated is never ideal for gaming. a dedicated graphics card will always perform better if gaming is the role you need the computer to fullfill.

[rapstyle11]

OVERGROWTH IS THE BEST!!!FUCK THE REST!!!

[DarkHarpuia]

The only thing that needs to change is the position of the hands when they're gripping something, but other than that minor gripe, this is really amazing!

[aquablade10000]

Will this be on Steam when its done?

[Adam1927]

@aquablade10000 Almost certainly. Preorders will be transferreable to Steam as well.

[alexandsimba]

Hitman in Combat System Game?...Awesome!

[ZzRvXzZ]

yeah nice... i pre-ordered it... downloaded the alpha 152...

and then, when the map finished loading... the game just freezes... all the time... please help...

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

@ZzRvXzZ i have the same problem as you, if you find a fix please REPLY! i really want to play this game!

[ZzRvXzZ]

@BRBSHUTUPNOOB

PLEASE... SEND ME A PM IF U FIND THE FIX AS WELL... .. T_T

[IamNuts114]

@ZzRvXzZ IF you try to read, you can see that there IN FACT is a fix - check the latest Alpha update.!

[ZzRvXzZ]

@IamNuts114

send the link please!!!

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

@ZzRvXzZ please PM me the link, ill subscribe to you with 3 accounts, PLEASE!

[ZzRvXzZ]

@BRBSHUTUPNOOB

I DONT KNOW.... i asked the guy for the link....

if u find it.. send itto me too :'/

[857Evan]

@ZzRvXzZ I have The same problem!!

[rocker398]

@857Evan Just in case you never see my reply to ZzRvXzZ,

Go into your config.txt file in your My Documents/Wolfire/Overgrowth/D­­ata/config.txt and change "editor_mode: false" to true "editor_mode: true" It should should now load fine.

[YangoMusic]

When will this come out?

And how will you play? Whats the story? The main thin you have to do?

[Tfaddy11]

@Drac0nizz Lol frustrated much ? U mad bro ?

[Tfaddy11]

@Drac0nizz Yes because that comment completely pointed out that i was whining despite the fact there is nothing to whine about. Admit it, your comment was stupid and no one liked it.

[Tfaddy11]

@Drac0nizz No shit sherlock, you can download a lot of things from piratebay. But it makes you pathetic because these Indi developpers ACTUALLY need the money if you're going to get the game.

[jeffkantoku]

a pile of bodies... lol!

[Dude902]

I haven't seen procedural grabbing this good since GTA4, and this looks even better.

[devilisback1]

@Dude902 also hitman

[siggibiggy]

@Dude902 Where is this in GTA4?

[spooncastro]

@siggibiggy With picking-up coffee cups, and bricks and such. There's a few examples if you just walk down a street and look at people holding things like umberella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay..­. I mean umbrellas.

[siggibiggy]

@spooncastro Thats... thats wraung

[Arnechk]

Only thing that is not so appealing in games like this, is the moment when any animation starts, it starts instantly. If you can find a way to smooth out that transition via "key to action" delay (losing the responsiveness) or pre-animated movement, where character would predict what moves you will do (good responsiveness, but harder to make and would still look same, or worse on certain occasions).

[Arcrave]

Only issue I have seen so far is when you hit enemies and they slide on the ground looks kinda like sliding on ice.. Other than that. Dang!!!! Looks awesome :D

[Kugluck]

Yay! Hitrabbit!

[Chosis]

It's called a Sleeper Hold. A Figure 4 is done with the legs.

[BeRsErKeR16]

furries...? WHY..jpe

[xalener]

@BeRsErKeR16

Because Humans don't emotionally attatch to human characters as easily as they do to anthropomorphic ones. See: Mickey mouse, Buggs bunny, Spyro the dragon, Crash bandacoot, Banjo Kazooie, Donky Kong, etc.

More attachment = more visceral combat.

It's quite literally first grade stuff, man.

[Articorse]

Dude, now you're just showing off.

[CightonProductions]

Oh man, you gotta include some stealth missions.

[FatDiggerNick]

And then they get up 20 seconds later because blood chokes don't work that way.

[xxxx59xxxx]

thats really fucking sad that it took this long for an [indie] developer to understand that arms connected to an unconscious body do not have infinite strength

[siden313]

I am sure Chuck Norris likes this game !

[Joshrouss]

who agrees that the end of this game the main charichter is getting his ass kicked by cyber bunny and he throws you off a clif and kills you but your friend also pushes the cyber bunny and the game ends o ya all with sad music

[RuEvEloll]

hitman 5

[cjmkael]

You sound a lot like Idra from SC2.

[gootuber369]

rear naked choke

[AproposOfMe]

Everyone else, Y U no better than two man studio?

[Craziestout]

lol, what is this? Looks amazing visually!

[haunter600]

Probably going to be the second game im not going to pirate in the past 3 years. The last one was Minecraft, before i realized how lazy and bad his new ideas were.

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

can someone help please? my game ALWAYS crashes when i load a map. I REALLY want to play overgrowth, when i play 143 or older alphas it doesnt crash. PLEASE HELP!

[siden313]

@BRBSHUTUPNOOB

You have wrong crack u PIRATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

@siden313 Dont reply to me like that you bitch D:

[Bluerage98]

At this point in development, people still have no clue what the difference between the stages Alpha, beta, and demo is.

[zeromasterd2]

@Bluerage98 This is also because people are lied to about "Alpha" and "Beta" stages, when they're allowed to play those development stages themselves. Alpha software should be the core mechanics, Beta should be a state where bug fixes are all one requires, and Demo stages should be either an excerpt from the final, complete version of the game, OR an altered section of the final game, meant to portray the best of the game (for example, Batman: AA's demo scenario didn't occur in the full game).

[Bluerage98]

@zeromasterd2 See, that's not so hard to understand now is it?

[zeromasterd2]

@Bluerage98 Yes, well people don't care to learn. For example, BF3's alpha was LESS glitchy than its beta. And that was a sorry excuse for a beta too.

[xalener]

@zeromasterd2

A beta, being a test, can't be a sorry excuse for anything.

I know you;re gonna say "HURR DURR BETAS DEY B DA DEMOS!!!!! I NO CUZ I PLAID GERS OF WAR 3 BETA AN WAYWO WEECH BTA AN MODUN WAUFAH BABA" It's bullshit. Those weren't real betas. Those were pre-release builds made for promotion moreso than testing.

BF3's was just made for testing, and was made open. Get that in your fucking heads.

[zeromasterd2]

@xalener

1 - I do not own an Xbox 360, nor a PS3.

2 - It is a sorry excuse for a beta, as in, I can't believe the game passed the Alpha stage with so many core bugs. Like horrible netcode, falling through the floor, etc. The Medal of Honor 2010 beta was as solid as the full game.

3 - It was NOT made just for testing, or there would be proper bug report facilities and updates, like when I tested Bitdefender 2010 Beta, 2011 Beta, 2012 Beta, 8 Realms Beta, and Test Drive Unlimited 2 Beta.

[xalener]

@zeromasterd2

"It is a sorry excuse for a beta, as in, I can't believe the game passed the Alpha stage with so many core bugs. Like horrible netcode, falling through the floor, etc. The Medal of Honor 2010 beta was as solid as the full game."

That's what a REAL beta FUCKING IS. The beta marks the BEGINNING of bug fixes. Not the half way mark. Not just fucking wrapping it up.

[zeromasterd2]

@xalener Nice job, taking my statements out of context. Tell me why a game is STARTING bug fixes four weeks before it releases? And why they don't have any bug reporting systems? Stop trolling. Don't ignore half my messages and try to make me sound stupid. That "beta" was meant as a preview. Not anything to fix bugs. In fact, the console discs have to be shipped out 6 weeks before release date to stock shelves, get cross-country and pass MS/Sony's testing. What version they got? That "beta".

[xalener]

@zeromasterd2

I guess they saw those clusterfuck forums as an adequate reporting system. I guess the serious stuff would rise to the surface pretty fast, but it IS stupid.

The build we saw was way out of date. Why? I honestly have no idea. The closest to a legit reason I've heard is that either the M$ or Sony, or even EA has some rule where all public releases have to be of approved builds, and the last approved build was old. Idk. I don't feel like defending this fucking thing, man. s'a game.

[Tfaddy11]

@xalener You should of have pointed out how the beta was already 1 month old on release. The game wasn't to test out glitches but to test server stress, net code and balancing. Also you should of have told him to go see operation firestorm and grand bazaar gameplay commentary, where we can easily see that they fixed glitches and improved the game graphically.

[xalener]

@Tfaddy11

Well, I told him the first one.

[Tfaddy11]

@zeromasterd2 You and Xalener seem the last people to actually understand this. On release the BF3 beta was already a month old, Go on and check the grand bazaar or operation firestorm gameplay, they're almost full commentaries and i haven't seen a single glitch. Also the Beta was not made to search for glitches as DICE already found them. They wanted to test out server stress and netcode, also balancing and things that seems to go wrong. Also there is something called a ''day one patch'' ;).

[zeromasterd2]

@Tfaddy11 I know the consoles are getting a Day-1 patch. That beta wasn't "old" though, some PC players apparently broke in and found all the maps in there. Just because a game works well in a demo on one type of PC doesn't mean it's solid, or a new build. Dice ain't anywhere near finished with that game. It's being rushed out. I was simply saying that that "build" shouldn't have even made it to the Beta side. The "Alpha" they had contained less bugs and glitches.

[Tfaddy11]

@zeromasterd2 I agree that it's awkward that the BETA has more bugs. But they only found map names in the BETA, DICE might of have already planned those maps a month ago seeing that they already announced them and showed pics. But i also agree that it's being rushed, but it's not like they're putting no effort like *cough* Cod *cough* they are doing a good job, i think they want to release it as early as possible for the fans and for it to release before CoD.

[zeromasterd2]

@Tfaddy11 It's not about the fans, it's just about CoD. They hyped it up to be a CoD killer with attention to detail and solid mechanics and all that, then copied about half of CoD's features, and said it's gonna come out before CoD. They don't want to eat their own words by saying "it's not finished yet, we need more time, we're gonna delay the release date", and make them look like idiots for hyping up a game and being unable to deliver. So instead, we get unfinished goods. I hate EA for this.

[Joshrouss]

dis is da best game iv ever seen and for like $29 i mean thats a deal im so getting this like nowwwww

[Oscarismyname]

1.26- Unconcious bunny sex lol!!!!!

[anton2maa]

*Watching overgrowth videos*

Impressive...wait for a sec, let me get my wallet...

and by wallet, I mean bank account ;)

[TheFoulest]

Release a damn linux alpha and you'll get quite a few more pre-orders.

[TheFoulest]

@poobertop

So mature.

[Tfaddy11]

@TheFoulest Aren't they already working on linux ?

[TheFoulest]

@Tfaddy11

When I emailed them they said it was on high on the list of their priorities but I haven't seen anything to indicate that they're even working on it yet. Either way, it's a little disheartening to know that the Linux users, who are always eager to support indie games, have been left out in favour of windows, who is admittedly a larger market. It wouldn't have taken too much to release an alpha for Windows, Linux & Mac at the same time.

[Tfaddy11]

@TheFoulest Yeah i agree D:, it always gets me disappointed when there is this awesome indie game but doesn't work on mac. At least they want to work on it !

[Axxhelairon]

@TheFoulest How about you get an operating system that game developers actually care to design for instead, you faggot?

[l2enegadesofFunk]

He just really badly wants to drags that body at the end...

[xRocketzFighterx]

pretty good but wait what is this game all about? screwattack sent me here.

[SerraFlame]

@xRocketzFighterx It doesn't have a story mode yet. It's in alpha, so they're still working on the programming and assets right now. At the moment it's still just a sandbox mode.

[xRocketzFighterx]

@SerraFlame

for a sandbox pc game its pretty impressive I've looked at the website n everything so much work n heart has been put into the game from what I've seen so far, is it worth me paying right now for the alpha version of the game? is it worth the 30 dollars so far?

[SerraFlame]

@xRocketzFighterx I haven't bought the alpha yet, but it's my first priority (need cash). Pre ordering means that you get the game when it comes out, plus you get the weekly updates to play with until then. Consider that its predecessor, Lugaru, is complete and still for sale, yet aside from a short story mode and scoreboard it falls far behind the current alpha version of Overgrowth. Also, buying now directly supports the development of the game and provides incentive to continue working on it.

[xalener]

@xRocketzFighterx

Since lugaru was about you getting revenge on a rival tribe killing your family, I guess it's gonna be something in that vein.

[yksnimus]

its almost hitman...lol

[TheInvento]

i think the wolf should be able to drag rabbits with one arm

[Hypogripho]

Finally!! Now i can gathering rabbits and then afire them... like in Lugaru... mmm, maybe the fire it is coming... i love to throw wolves against other wolves to kill them...

[EnigmaNovb]

Furry game with pretty decent animations. I like it at least.

[MyoiMyoi]

Oh look a furry programmer. Why would he create anything imaginative.

[warvad]

Closet furry!

...I won't tell.

[KarmineSpot]

afterall there would be around 300 + videos about Overgrowth, and most likely every detail will be designed (remember the continious blood effects video series)

[culdain]

furries furries everywhree

[KarmineSpot]

actually it seems the game wont be released any time soon, and the "constructive criticism' is inappropriate here, or rather say unnecessary, because the uploader does not actually takes these messages to attention, as these videos are for the entertainment purse only. just to keep the public attentive and interested.

[khaosxxx]

Just some constructive criticism. When hes dragging bodies, it looks really awkward that his torso and head are completely stationary. It looks more like a machine is pulling the body, not a person straining to drag a heavy body.

[MaxyZorin]

furry hitman

[Ultizer]

yeah realistic isnt fun bro

also 30fps, nice, its like im really playing a console game

graphics look like shit aswell, so much for being a PC exclusive

[NDenizen]

@Ultizer

You realise its 60 fps later on, right?

No, of course you don't

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@Ultizer You do know that the FPS isn't limited to 30FPS. it depends on the computer's specs. I run it at about 140 FPS. And you do realise that this is ALPHA, not BETA, or even at the DEMO stage. It's not done. Get your panties out of your ass

[SerraFlame]

I'm not done yet! ;)

I've been thinking that since controller support is being implemented, allowing for analog input which gives varying speed control, volume as heard by NPCs should be modified by speed (unless it is already and I somehow missed it) so that walking allows you to sneak up while running alerts enemies. That was probably the worst sentence structure ever. :P

[SerraFlame]

Also, I'd just like to mention that UBERxL33T just posts the same comment saying "Overgrowth is a StarFox ripoff" on all of the Overgrowth videos. Don't waste your time replying because he's not listening. (I would love to see him blocked, though.)

[SerraFlame]

I finally figured out why the rabbit looks like a drone while dragging ragdolls, he looks straight forward while walking backwards! He should be looking over his shoulder at least part of the time to make sure he doesn't trip. Otherwise he looks robotic and thoughtless.

[JoeJoeTater]

I think it would look a lot better if the torso swayed with the steps, while dragging. I only played the Lugaru demo, but I already know this is going to be an indispensable feature for stealth. Very nice.

[MastuhShayke]

Body hoarder lol, that's what I do in every game with dragging (DX:HR Mafia 2, Hitman etc.)

[kyleleeo]

Skiped 151

[Bleenderhead]

This is turning into Fallout: New Lugaru.

[yourpersonalspammer]

well done! I was wondering why in other games when dragging the dragged person or object would start twirling around unrealisticly crazy instead of getting stuck on an obstacle. now I know why. great job, keep it up!

[rekindledphoenix]

twelve people are impatient for the game to be released...

[Usiema]

@UBERxL33T hah!  that's what you think. to bad for you that's so far from the truth that the speed of light can barely keep up.

[Thial1000]

WHY DO YOU KEEP ON SKIPPING ALPHAS!?!!?!? (he skipped 151)

[davidtiziu]

@Thial1000 These update is only for optimizations e bugfixes which would be hard to demonstrate in a video. Here are the changes:

Faster active ragdoll animation, terrain material checks

Ragdolls go to sleep faster to stop using resources

Dodge using controllers

Fix for crash when no joysticks are connected, missing xinput dll, enemies grabbing weapons while unconscious

Fixed physics debug world lighting, procedural stance initialization bug, problem with mouse grab when auto camera is enabled

[Aleolex]

@Thial1000 READ THE GODDAMN BLOG.

[kickedsazabi]

this year is pretty good game-wise overall.

as for overgrowth ill have to admit i downloaded it from TPB.

it has all these amazing features, but its correctly named alpha. i wonder if they have the manpower to finish this before the engine gets too old.

[dewersin]

@1:12 "I'm TRYING to move this body, if you don't mind."

[Ilostmysock38]

Where was 151? XD Perhaps I missed it.

[Blindzor93]

i dont understand is this just showing off how the game works or is this game really gonna be about rabbits?

[MizerokRominus]

@Blindzor93 There a problem with a rabbit species being the primary focus? I rather like rabbits.

[AceofOblivionX]

"This game looks alright I gue-HOLY SHIT THAT RABBIT JUST ROUNDHOUSED THAT GUY"

[Ph7uX]

Religion is the cancer of society.

[sqarerootof2]

@Ph7uX yeah...

but why bring it up?

[elay127]

I'm worried that this will lead to some...interesting dead body posing

[lucrisification]

you should be able to drag the rabbit by it ears!

[Bahlof]

Its true that this is a great game with amazing programming, but that doesnt mean everyone has to make kiss ass comments just to try and get thumbs up.

[Korban3]

@Bahlof ...Yes it does.

[madmonkeyness]

@Bahlof yeah, it just means you're black :(

[deadly840]

@Bahlof You can say that about many comments then, be happy people aren't blind for a really good game instead of the commercial games made without any passion.

[Theehannle]

DAMN, NOW I REALLY WANT A PC FOR THIS GAME. i want to buy this soo bad, but i need a good pc :(. dragging corpse and choking is cool!

[KesSharann]

Sweet. Does that mean you can build an entire village out of bodies?

[everqop]

@KesSharann Yes, it does mean that you can build an entire village out of bodies!

[frobie54]

*choke*

Hewwo, mistah Turner.

[thanger2]

How do i play in FULLSCREEN? when i start the game it pops up in a very small window, and i can't/don't know how to make it fullscreen, please help!

[PaddedWhiteRoom]

@thanger2 open the notepad file "config" in the data folder that's located in the wolfire folder in your documents.

you can change the resolution in there.

[thanger2]

@PaddedWhiteRoom thank you

[PaddedWhiteRoom]

@thanger2 yop

[Megallean]

i COULD NOT CONTAIN MY BOWELS WHEN SAW THE BODY DRAGGING.

Lolzy ending:

*drag**drag**drag**Punch**kick­**drag**drag**drag*

[Kolbehh]

this game is like 50 yrs in development

[rio425ee]

so am i the only one who didnt catch 151???

[Zoran54321]

1. Fantastic animations? Check

2. Fantastic blood effects? Check

3. Fantastic physics mechanics? Check

BIG COMPANIES, Y U NO HIRE THIS GUY!?!?!?

[mysterypenguin3]

@Zoran54321

Because this guy said no

@my
