Overgrowth Alpha 134 changes - Wolfire Games

[Noblaum]

I saw some posts talking about it being a "stupid furry game" (not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your thing). Let me clear something up: could you imagine how WEIRD this would look with human characters? You see a game with an amazing combat system so you criticize the character models? There's bound to be a bunch of reskins anyway. If you're still not satisfied but want the combat quality, I'm pretty sure Lugaru (the game before this) had a Matrix reskin.

[Ubersnuber]

I can't believe what I'm seeing..

[Sparta09876]

So... eh... if i preorder this game, i will have it forever <3

[116Alphawolf]

1:31 THIS IS WOLFIRE!

[Regginyaga]

It doesn't really matter because we don't get to control the trajectory of the sword slash anyway...

[MOHdified]

I wish more game developers would go more into detail like you guys :).

[FoundationsofPause]

Amazing.

[overdozed1337]

At about 1:20 when he grabs the edge.. I thought: Im getting dis game fo sho ;) too bad my computer cant handle it :((((

[TheBlackBritt]

When will the graphics options be added?

[Maucrii]

Dismemberment would be a huge step in realism.

[hilleltaco]

@Maucrii unfortunately i have heard that would be pretty hard but yeah

[viralplatipuss]

This is really cool, I just bought the game to try the alphas because they look so awesome! Keep up the good work! :)

[kakburkmedlingon]

what will the story be like? lol

[StrictSnow]

A game where you play as a furry who is going on a genocidal campaign against other furries?

[SaladHate]

Dude! You should work on DICE for a while! They dont make such beautiful blood effects in last Battlefield games and that is sad.

[pizzasnail98]

Please can someone tell me how to grab a edge when you are climbing?

[trivoid]

WTF IS THIS??!! IT LOOKS AWSOME WHEN IS IT OUT?

[qwertytanner]

godammit i need to be 18 to order!!!

[baseballrunner76]

I want this game. Now.

[calleohr]

0:35 you got blood on my suit....

[HonshuWolf]

0:57 - BAD ASS!

[mats1e]

this game will be the shit

[westersofar]

1:16 asassin's creed in overgrowth

[MethsBack]

I have nothing against furries but,,,, why furries?

I think this game would have been alot nicer with humans, or atleast the option to use humans.

[heheIvan]

@MethsBack

because it's creative and original for once. This game is not a benchmark, it's and engine AND a game, and it first started off as an idea to make a game with ninja rabbits, THAT is the core experience, so why change it?

However adding optional human characters, even if I personally don't want them in my game, would be nice, to satisfy everyone's needs.

[ZeBOOMHEADSHOT]

@ZakG343 Only PC...and it's in the description.

[Aixrotciv]

@ZeBOOMHEADSHOT don't forget Mac n Linux

[Theroblobloman]

9999999x better then lugaru

[Brutalizur]

@Theroblobloman 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999x better than Call of Duty.

[GenoSkill]

@Brutalizur why so mainstream for finding comparison?

[Brutalizur]

@GenoSkill I just wanted to be nice, I usually hate the mainstream praise games like Call of Duty get, but CoD 4 is possibly my favourite multiplayer game ever on Xbox. I don't play many indie games like this but this game looks extremely appealing and the effort put into it is unfathomable, Call of Duty just seems to be made and the simple wishes of sheepish children now. It lacks the innovation of Overgrowth but they are completely different & good in many ways & they can't be compared.

[Tyme2Die]

I love the detail you guys put into the game, lately i've been feeling like games have been lacking creativity, it's games like this that keep me wanting more from gaming. So much care and detail is being put into this game to make it play smoothly. If only all game developers did that instead of putting a piece of crap out to make a quick buck.

[GONGMANIFICATION]

@Tyme2Die IW and sledgehammer?

[dangdiggidydog]

u guys should add sum decapitations

[PavleCar1]

how do you attack with the sword?

[jnagtube]

what is this game. is this a comunnity game? it looks epic man.. nciework

[KingOfWaffles]

@jnagtube It's an independantly developed game (i.e. not made by a big publisher like EA or Activision). See the website link in the description.

[YaFatButch]

why is the rigging tool disabled? i was looking forward to that (finally got it)

[RadGH]

0:10 with dismemberment would be very satisfying.

But dismemberment isn't something you can just "add in". The models for all of the creatures must be designed so limbs can be detached. And if you are able to dismember things before they are killed, you need a new movement system for when you have only one leg, and what if you lose both legs? Break/lose your weapon hand? There are a lot of problems, and most of them would ruin gameplay.

But if it had execution-dismemberment... It would be EPIC

[KlayKillProductions]

@RadGH well, losing a leg would kill you because of both shock and blood loss

breaking your hand is fixable by making him drop the weapon depending on mass, think about these things dude before you say something stupid.

[RadGH]

@KlayKillProductions I was explaining (2 weeks ago) that you can't just add in dismemberment, and explained the reasons why. Not because of a realistic blood loss/shock reason, but that the developer would have to many different separations of the model to disconnect limbs, and include new internal textures to show blood and bones etc.

And, If you severed a hand, it's not as simple as holding no weapon. Every animation needs to be changed, especially attack ones.

Wtf are you talking about?

[theugama]

THIS IS NOT AWESOME AT ALL...........................­........it is............................­...EPIC. and someone should make something like an assassins creed level tht would be awsome you should go into work with massive gaming companies

[nathie944]

what is this for game?

[SomeKindaSpy]

@nathie944; Use proper english, and this game is called Overgrowth. Not a mod.

[Maccoy2k]

@SomeKindaSpy at least hes trying to use it...unlike other people...

[Pingevin1]

I've never heard of this game but in a strange way it looks great oO

[vampire847]

This is amazing... you should make a show out of this too>.> I mean hell you got 95 percent of the work done with the finished game all you gotta do is get a storyline voice actors and then you could easily make a web show out of the stuff from the game! Also I want to see throwing weapons>.>

[Sh0ckth3r4pygames]

If you add dismemberment, make it realistic. Something over the top would be too mainstream. We have too much of that right now. (fallout, CoD, etc.)

[vampire847]

@Sh0ckth3r4pygames Realistic dismemberment is beyond hard to do

[Sh0ckth3r4pygames]

@vampire847 Then I would suggest avoiding dismemberment.

[vampire847]

@Sh0ckth3r4pygames This game sucks balls... why? because I probably will have to buy a new pc to play it.

[MrGrakkus]

@vampire847 u can STFU things like this is why u dont buy a console!

[vampire847]

@MrGrakkus you sir... are hopefully being sarcastic... if not you are a fucking retard and did not understand what I was saying...

[volkovboris]

nice! extra climb animations!

[PriestoftheEmporer]

damn, that's neat but I really can'T get passed the rabbits! why the hell rabbits?

[xalener]

@PriestoftheEmporer

Because it's the personification of the territorial nature of nature.

It's to bring us down closer to Earth and show us how brutal the animal life really is. At least that's how I gathered.

[McZig10]

@xalener or....people just like animal's brutally murdering one another.....i know i do :/

[ipariszalonna]

@xalener And to avoid the uncanny valley. I think that's the biggest reason for using animals for Wolfire.

[xalener]

@ipariszalonna

That's true. This would be nowhere near as believable or visceral if these were humans.

[xalener]

@PriestoftheEmporer

Plus, ask warner brothers why bugs is a bunny. Ask em why daffy is a duck. Ask why people always care more when a dog dies in a horror movie than when a human does. It's just that we're more emotionally attached to shit that ain't us.

[rjniscool]

1:28 THIISSS!!...ISS!!!!!....OVERGR­OWTH! NOT SPARTA DUMBASS!

[hamburgermiam]

i think you should do it a verry litle less gore exept for agonization

[horsiegod]

I would like to formally claim Usagi Yojimbo as my character name.

[TheGmTom]

in my opinion, this is a bit too gore...

[NeoTStyle]

what is this?

A game about kangaroos killing each other with really good ragdoll and blood effects?

Mite b cool

[imurderragdolls]

@NeoTStyle there rabbits

[LordOfSausage18]

@NeoTStyle

A game about ninja bunnies beating each other up and/or cutting them in half.

yeaaah.

[fare777]

@NeoTStyle That's a rabbit... You do know kangaroo's have long tails?

Seriously, how can you mistake a rabit for a kangaroo...

[fare777]

@NeoTStyle also, there are not just rabbits in the game, get research done before making a comment.

[MutatedPixelation]

This game never ceases to amaze me, keep it up.

[fare777]

@Ragey4 I'M INVINCIBLE!

[ShockerRed]

KILL THE FURRIES

[fare777]

@ShockerRed calm down troll, go back to your idiotic 4chan.

[ShockerRed]

@fare777 Implying I ever leave

[Fishfish458]

@ShockerRed God, you must have LOVED watching bugs bunny as a kid

[ShockerRed]

@Fishfish458 I'm talking about people who fap to furry, who have ruined the way people like me see cartoon animals by posting it all over the place.

[partyguerrilla]

Yiff in hell.

[Zueluzz]

cant wait to ERP in this!

[Xijor]

Maybe you should tone down the bleeding effect. No one bleeds that much when cut.

[totallynotraging]

Redwall

[911GamerN]

This looks like assasins creed

[iron0an]

why are bunnies killng each other?

[mctablina]

Please no dismemberment, too gruesome, totally not worth the effort.

[jordy870]

@mctablina That is your opinion and I respect that, however I totally would love to see dismemberment in the game.

[NailimiMontesi]

Something is up with the shadow of the hand and sword. Where they intersect: 0:17

[JoshuaHalfBreed]

im just waiting to see if the weapon combat will be as good as the fist.. then it's preorder time

[jingo994]

looks incredible, i love the work these guys do :)

[JoyceJennings]

Why did I laugh so hard at that rabbit running dead at Turner? 1:22 

[vkyle52]

You guys are awesome!

[vlastyr]

niceeeee! but thats a lot of work. keep it up!

[CouncilOfCrabKings]

The amount of coding you people must do in a week..

[Fry123459]

chink?

[AtTheSpeedOfCheese]

This game has become a whole lot more gorier.

[TheMassyl]

hey Wolfire on next 1st april, tell the fans in the that you are cancelling the game and then say that you are sorry for this April's fool joke! XD

[TheMassyl]

0:34 no no no, whew!! i thought you were gonna pee on me!

[Gaphiltefish]

I really want to preorder this game, but I just have to know if it will auto update whenever we see this new cool stuff. I probably will anyway.

[joshuak47]

very nice stuff here

[BubbaDJ000]

I Dont think the Character should flail right when they start to go down. I think they should start flailing when they are falling really far down. It just looks weird when the flail, and there just doing a normal jump.

[MadComputerScientist]

Sword+blood=win

Everything is falling into place... >:3

[FrenchBulldogWinston]

am i the only one that thinks dogs should be replaced? Ther'ye just to imilar to wolves. If there gonna be replaced by something, mayby it should be like a weasel or bird.

[MagFlare]

@FrenchBulldogWinston Sometimes it's the subtle distinctions that make all the difference. Consider elves versus drow, Vulcans versus Romulans, Green Martians versus White Martians, urRu versus Skeksis. Fantastic settings have a long-standing tradition of pitting a race against a "darker" version of itself.

Besides, the Overgrowth comic focused exclusively on the dogs. Pretty sure the developers are dead set on including dogs at this point.

[JovT1]

maybe make the blood a bit less shiny

[Arantre20]

Why does everyone have a dismemberment fetish?

[Bleenderhead]

@Arantre20 If you've every played with he dismemberment mod in GMod...

[KraftyTheHatter]

@Arantre20 Japan. That is why.

[Fagerhovstyle]

@Arantre20 Because it's sadistically satisfying ;D

[Downzy2019]

wow!



[MrGothico12]

Perordered ;D 

[Lassenissen]

Overgrowth notwithstanding, I can see some pretty amazing games being made on this engine in the future.

Fantastic work guys. You are slowly creating a golden egg-laying duck with this engine of yours.

[THUGBERLIN]

blood at the weapon please :D

[Jonttutaze]

lol at 1:03 I thougt it was a mosquito but it was Turner falling :D

[samthielemans]

lol what for game is that?

can you download it ?

[DrunkenMunk123]

What direct x is this gonna be running in? (please god let it have dx11 support!)

[Gubru]

Amazing! The flailing animation seems perfect now! How 'bout getting some blood on the weapons now? :D

[xanthus1]

I love these updates. I reallllly want to preorder the game, as soon as I can afford to part with $30.

[soocl0se]

Wow, blood flow is a perfect idea! The entire thing was impressive.

[HeadoftheHydra]

I have one big wonderment regarding this game: Why bunnies and wolves and whatnot?

You'd think the game would have broader appeal if it had human characters.

*Shrug*

[scr3wthegovernment]

@HeadoftheHydra so that they could skip the "uncanny valley" me thinks...

[HeadoftheHydra]

@scr3wthegovernment

I'm sorry, the what?

[MagFlare]

@HeadoftheHydra Things that look very nearly, but not quite, human are more offputting and less relatable than things that look only somewhat human. The uncanny valley is the point at which something goes from provoking a response like "Oh, hey, it kind of looks like me! Cute!" to a response like "Gah! Horrible robot wearing a human skin! Get it away from me!"

I don't think that's why Overgrowth features anthropomorphic animals, but it's certainly a consideration.

[scr3wthegovernment]

@HeadoftheHydra the point in which stuff that were made to look like people looks creepy

[SkyCaptanio]

LOL Furries

[Grnd91]

this is turning out to be pretty badass, but one thing with the bladed weapons...with all the blood and stuff, will there be dismemberment? so if the enemy manages to dodge your attack but one of his ears is sticking out you can possibly chop an ear in half. course people will be looking for taking off heads, arms, and legs and I like that as well but i kind of like the idea of subtle model changes, like loosing a finger or part of an ear.

[dneobr]

MAN! this is real cool, the charaters??? REAL nice!

[Chrischn89]

What the hell did I just see?

[thebonsoon]

why are thier giant rabits everywhere?

[zwerty007]

@thebonsoon THERE, not THIER

BECAUSEITS FREAKIN GAME about giant rabbits!

[Sparrow15]

Fuck dismemberment. Not interested.

[FastFlyerJr]

@Sparrow15 Weak of stomach, huh?

[Sparrow15]

@FastFlyerJr I just don't see the point. I'd rather they spent time on the combat and the art than reworking the engine so bodies could look more gruesome. I'd be perfectly satisfied with some deep-looking cut decals and the buckets of blood we're already dealing with.

[FastFlyerJr]

@Sparrow15 You do realize this game is nowhere near release time or beta-ready anytime soon, right?

They are attempting to perfect everything in the engine, including gameplay mechanics, before working on the actual game. Don't be impatient and sound like a prick.

[Sparrow15]

@FastFlyerJr What? How is suggesting they shouldn't rework the game engine being impatient? I don't want them to have to go through hell so that dead bodies can look deader. That's not what is important to me about the game. I pre-ordered a while ago, and I'm willing to give them as much time as they want, I just think they should spend it on things more interesting than dismemberment. Don't make assumptions and sound like an asshole. Let's all just love Overgrowth together.

[FastFlyerJr]

@Sparrow15 They will do what they want to do, in any order. If you want to love it, don't complain.

[Sparrow15]

@FastFlyerJr Just a little tired of every other comment being "WHEN WILL WE HAVE DISMEMBERMENT!?"

[Prathik1989]

@Sparrow15 so dismemberment is planned for the game? or is that just fan speculation?

[Sparrow15]

@Prathik1989 Speculation. Very very little is announced in terms of plans so that they can keep their options open. I also don't know if dismemberment is even possible with the Phoenix engine. Presumably so, but not without obnoxious effort.

[frobie54]

@Sparrow15

There is a cheat in Lugaru that allows you to make enemies' heads explode. All they'd have to do is apply that effect to struck limbs on critical hits, and have it spawn a duplicate limb right there.

[Prathik1989]

@Sparrow15 Thanks for answering back :)

[andrewp303]

ahahah wtf is this game?!?

[BunnyUnite]

kick ass

[sinfulldreamer]

I preordered but sadly it's too buggy on my hardware. :'(

[Idontplaysports]

@sinfulldreamer Go into your config.txt file and change the number by texture reduce to 5.

[hackforloser]

If this game hits beta one day, I'm going to try get it.

Btw, how many "races" are there?

[finflame13]

@hackforloser There's supposed to be Rabbits, Wolves, Cats, Dogs, and Rats by the final game. They take community suggestions sometimes so there could be more one day. That or they develop expansions for the game or other users make mods like they did with Lugaru.

[cryptsys]

oh man if he makes this game into a major online game im a drop wow, cod, rift all that shit for this.

[arcticsquirrelmonkey]

the flail has improved, but it will never look normal lol

[WarMasterX6]

Needs more gore and parts flying XD nah nah its fine <3 but itd be funny :P 

[Zk1f3r]

DISMEMBERMENT AND ARMOUR NEXT!

[logan43000]

@Zk1f3r I agree, dismemberment would be pretty cool

[MrAgentMoo]

@Zk1f3r Yeeeah!

[Beamswordu]

@Zk1f3r You do know that dismemberment is pretty damn hard to implement, right?

And how would it affect gameplay?

[Zk1f3r]

@Beamswordu I'm sure it is, i never said it was going to be easy. I just think that it would be cool to have a system that had a form of combat with armour then once that armour is broken or breached in such a way dismemberment is possible since the target is no longer protected.

[JovT1]

@Beamswordu we know, but it would be amazing to do

[HealingTrout2]

holy shit I'm so getting this XD

[timonix2]

WOW! That is a pretty darn good use of whatever engine he is using. I wonder if he will add destructible environments.

[zephiro309]

his strive for perfection IN EVERY SINGLE ASPECT is the definition of making EPIC video games and software

[donutsndcoffee]

id buy this.

[starsiegeRoks]

what i like is the devs are actually working on this game and showing us how its really coming along, instead of slapping us with trailers and screenshots

[martysmartylol]

wtf is this kind of stupid game

[juggy2006]

@martysmartylol people like you cause developers to make crap games. This game will be amazing just from the amount of detail he is putting into the game. Gameplay is only 50% of what makes a game good, the other is detail.

[popZoro]

@martysmartylol

Well tell me whats your fucking ''cool'' game?

[whitestripesftw]

this is lookin sick man!

[koalalord145]

I just pre-ordered! It looks amazing!

[popZoro]

MOTHERFUCKING COOL! FUCK COD, THIS FUCKING ROCKS

[DrunkenMunk123]

Please someone tell me what this game is about? im so fucking interested!!!

[robloxmonster101]

idk if they already have this but bunny character creation would be sick!

[ElMisionero96]

Holy fuck, if the alpha is THIS detailed, I just can't imagine how the complete version will be.

[JanPospisil42]

One thing with the cut plane collision - the sword would most likely either slide off after a couple of inches, or get stuck in the wound. If you're not cutting through the whole rabbit (which would slice him in half, and it doesn't do that here, he seems fine for a while), the wound should appear only in a part of the collision path.

[eleszar1]

Fucking amazing game and smart idea XD

[4Orange2Bud0]

sub, you definitely got my money. this game is fucking awesome

[Stewerrvideos]

I would reeeeally like to try it :/!!

[xXiRoNxSigHtZzzx]

wtf is up with this game?
