Re: "How I Think the Game Will Be" Threads

I think people want open world, because the game so far doesn't have any mission levels (no including challenges). Everyone always wants an open world game (they are in my opinion the best type), but this is an indie studio and the development demands for that are enormous. I disagree but I see whe...

"How I Think the Game Will Be" Threads

Is anyone else tired of these threads? The Pre-Order Forum is intended for discussion about the game's mechanics, gameplay, bugs, i.e. things that exist. Not to sound rude, but speculation about development decisions or your guesses of what will be implemented in the final product is pretty pointles...

Re: Character creation idea

games are made for entertainment, and you can make a map for entertainment. see where it locks together? (sorry if that sounded like i was a sarcastic dick) I find the game entertaining as it is and it's still in alpha. Speculation is fun but arguing about speculation isn't. The developers have sai...

Re: Violence and its impact

I don't understand your hesitation since you never posted an opinion. We're not going to bite your head off here ;) As you well know it is entirely possible to create an engaging, intricate and interesting story in a game alongside violence. In some games, such as the classic Doom shooters or Duke N...

Re: Tough Love

As a counter to your argument, I'd point out the lead balloon that was the Cortex Command release. Here was a game that was completely built from the engine out, has all kinds of interesting things going on under the hood, it's a mod-maker's dream, had all of 11 years to polish things to perfection...

Re: Overgrowth RPG

So here's what I'm thinking: If it's a Play-by-Post type of setup, I'll use the Simple D6 system. It was designed specifically for that kind of play format. If it's a live-chat setup, I think I'm going to use Savage Worlds. Updated Rabbit race stats: Rabbits Good Jumpers: Rabbits can jump 18 feet fr...

Re: Overgrowth RPG

It would be cool to do something like this, but I don't think just doing it via a forum would be as fun as having voice chat or something like that. But that will of course require several people to be on at the same time. I like the idea, but I don't know how this could be solved. I've done Play-b...

Re: Overgrowth RPG

Alternatively, we could use the Simple D6 system from those wacky guys on 4chan.

Re: Overgrowth RPG

Brief me, what's the Savage World's system? I'm assuming this is some sort of table-top RPG setup? I believe I inquired on the IRC once if anyone would play a table-top style RPG if I invented one that worked via the internet as a sort of real-time chat service with support for a dice-roll syntax a...

Re: Overgrowth RPG

These are some tentative racial templates I came up with, just to give you a feel for the type of game I'd like to run. Rabbits Good Jumpers: Rabbits can jump 9 feet from a standstill and 12 feet with a run and go. A successful Strength roll grants three extra feet of distance. Keen Hearing: +2 to N...

Overgrowth RPG

Hello, everyone! I've been playing around with the idea of running an Overgrowth RPG using the Savage Worlds system. It's a fun system; fast, simple, and customizable, sort of like Overgrowth! It will be a combat-oriented game, obviously. I was thinking of setting it sometime after Turner's coup, wh...

Re: Ranged Weapons

I could see the rabbits making good of use of bolas. As for one hit incapacitation, what's the general range on medium weight bolas? It can't be that far, can it? I see dogs using spears too. Slings would be their domain, I believe, in mods. They're just a powerful, brutal weapon that really feels ...

It seems like all that was added by one person in one batch, near the end of November.
What would you recommend?

Re: Overgrowth Wiki

Are the "theories" listed on Turner's page as popular as the author made them out to be? They seem less like explanations and more like fan-fiction.

Re: Overgrowth Wiki

Is the silly description in the "History" tab of the Cats' page an inside joke or does it need to be deleted?
