Re: september, and there hasn't been any news for months.

i think some of your examples are not to much comparable, sure they came up with more stuff in less time, but compare the size of their teams, and what they are doing OG is being made by how many peaple? 2-3(maybe more now, we will know pretty soon) kerbal is being made by 15 peaple as far as wikip...

september, and there hasn't been any news for months.

Now, I can understand updates taking months to make, I can understand the release date of updates being vague and unknown - but the one thing I absolutely cannot understand is why we aren't even being told what's happening anymore. There is absolutely *no* community involvement in the game anymore. ...

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

The biggest issue would no doubt be the amount of work to port the game. There's no doubt, at least, that it'd require significant work to be done just to get the game back to the workable state it's currently in - perhaps a future Wolfire game will use UT4 or another engine?

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

I quite agree. But I'm also quite certain David and the team are more than capable of finishing in the Phoenix engine. But my opinion on this doesn't matter, and not just because the decision's already been made. Perhaps they are capable, but how long will it take? Another 9 years? It's often said ...

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

Exactly. Hence my earlier post. Aw. But.. Phoenix engine... their baby ;-; I guess they know what they're doing. One thing though: Perhaps your "groupthink" theory is correct, but I really don't think it is. I understand if you might think it is not applicable to UE4, but to think it's in...

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

You're absolutely right in that the Ureal Engine has had more time and a larger, most likely more experienced team. Though I find it important to note that it is not only: worked on by more experienced coders but unfortunately also: worked on by more coders A significant increase of workforce on a ...

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

Meh, I dislike the impatience argument. Of course, I'm all in favour of OG being completed faster, but I wouldn't want it to be at the cost of its potential, regardless of whether it's lost potential in graphics, story, gameplay, or performance/optimisation. And why would a change to Unreal engine ...

Re: Phoenix engine switch to Unreal Engine 4

Seems like a good decision... but this late? Can they really port the entire game?

Re: A few (damage model related) suggestions

I was thinking they should add "arteries" to the game - locations that if are cut by knife will bleed massively. When you cut your character's throat it spurts blood for a while, like if you cut an artery. Perhaps they could expand on that system? Never noticed that . I did cut throats a ...

I can't imagine playing with the arrow keys being easy. How do you crouch, jump, etc?

Re: Bows and Arrows

Suggested literally dozens of times. Here are my thoughts of ranged combat in general, from a thread I made a while back: While melee (and particularly unarmed) combat is a very bit part of Overgrowth and Lugaru, ranged weapons cannot be ignored. The knife was a very useful throwing weapon, and grea...

Re: Sparring feedback

1. I always feel like, no matter what strategy I choose, I'm always better off if I just try to use the leg cannon on enemies. It is satisfying, and perhaps necessary at this point in the gameplay (see below), but it seems to undermine the other combat a bit. Indeed, the leg cannon is not at all ba...

Re: [Mod] Vonkie's mod [04/12/12 - 013] Your own mods!

No, it's simply a flat capacity problem. No matter what card would be added, it would cause a crash. The max would be 1xx. Before that number it works just about. Beyond that it crashes. We tested using various cards -- it's just a set number. Is it not possible to look through the code and check f...

Could you elaborate on the limitations? I might make a level some time, and knowing these could fix a lot of issues before they really exist.
