Re: Slow storyline = Tutorial!

I also like the idea of being able to consciously fight to incapacitate, rather than to kill. One thing that annoyed me about Lugaru is that, in the episode where Turner is attacked by a guard with a staff and similar, it's darned hard to keep from killing him.

Geography of Overgrowth?

In Lugaru, some amount of geography is defined. Specifically, in the original campaign, there is Rocky Hall, Turner's village, the raiders' areas, and the rough division line between rabbit/wolf areas. How much of this is going to be retained in Overgrowth? Is there going to be any input from the ge...

Re: Unofficial, alpha 17 weekly build

On OSX, I can't load any objects--it gives various file-not-found errors for every one I try. Just to make sure, the fist couple of objects in Data/Objects are broken. Does Data/Objects/Buildings/blockCatBrickWall.xml work? No, that one works. I guess this is not a new issue. I just got unlucky in ...

Re: Cat, dog, wolf society

Speaking of Rocky Hall, how much of the geography of Lugaru is going to be retained in Overgrowth?

Cat, dog, wolf society

I just had a random thought: In nature, cats, dogs and wolves, at least (I'm not sure about rabbits) have a much lower ratio of childbearing age to lifespan than humans do, meaning that they have children much earlier in their lives, time-wise, than humans. While humans have children at maybe 20 and...

Map editor mode?

I'm probably missing something obvious, and this is going to sound stupid, but how do I use the map editor? I saw the video on the blog, and it looks great. However, every time I try anything, it runs into a couple of problems: 1, I can't load anything (the load dialog in the gui won't go into the p...

Re: Post your relevant, opportune ideas here [Questions allowed]

Being able to climb would be very fun. I like parkour-type stuff; I really liked the level in Empire when Ash is jumping from block to block in that tower. Also, ranged weapons would be really nice, but there should be a division (like there is in real life) between the situations in which you use t...

Alpha 11 problem with tool pane

I just downloaded Alpha 11. When I run it, it runs fine, but the tool pane shows up only as a white box that doesn't do anything (I can't move it). I can still look around, move the camera, etc. Anyone know about this? I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.6; it worked for the last alpha I tried, number 9.
