Re: Consequences of violence -- have your say!

the appearance of strength and actual strength are two completely different things that must be factored in. I was assuming that ranking would be used for allies, id est to estimate the value of a friend that has been killed. If we can assume that friends know each-others fighting abilities pretty ...

Re: Consequences of violence -- have your say!

I do like the ranking system idea, but what happens when someone messes with character parameters and make that character weaker or stronger? How to recalculate ranking then? You could just include all the parameters in the ranking: rank := speed*SPEED_K + strength*STRENGTH_K + knife*KNIFE_K + swor...

Re: Consequences of violence -- have your say!

I'm thinking specifically of the 'choke out' and 'knife hostage' animations. For me, the ultimate question is 'what's the point?'. You're right this feature has currently been implemented without a great deal of use in gameplay for the time being. Where the joke is concerned though, I think it was ...

Consequences of violence -- have your say!

Hi all. Today I have a question for the community :) Overgrowth is to be a game about the consequences of violence, though whether those consequences will be interactive or not, and to what degree, are things as yet not entirely decided. Since players are playing the game to be entertained by the fi...

Re: Pink beards

Because Game of Thrones sucks. Blasphemy :cry: I actually really like that series... it's full of clever dialogue with witty repartees, plus people hitting each other with swords. What I don't understand is the full-frontal nudity - it cheapens the whole thing and means I can't recommend it to all ...

Re: Unofficial Overgrowth a180, weekly build

Kewl - seems to be working fine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 64 bit , using an Nvidia 8400M I think. That said I can't play until I remap WASD to ZQSD, as my keyboard layout is French. I found ~/.local/share/Overgrowth/Data/config.txt but Z appears to be hard-bound to rag-doll in rabbit mode while Q is hard...

Re: Pink beards

I think "in a narrative sense" can be added to the end of almost end statement to improve its clout, in a narrative sense.

Re: Pink beards

Just realised Glabbit has been here for a loooooo-oooooo-oooooong time. I wonder how many other incarnations the beard has been through before now. Would this be the second coming or... a third?

Re: Pink beards

I'm sorry your cat character didn't get its chance to shine in the strange rp, Wilbey. Oh, but I wasn't respecting forum role-play etiquette barging in like that :wink: But anyway, as I recall the pink beard was the mark of the true believer, but now that John's beard is brown again, what are we su...

Re: Pink beards

It's true I haven't been on the forums for a while. As for the others, I think it's got a lot to do with development shifting from philosophical posts daily to weekly tech updates. There isn't so much to discuss any more: the die is cast and we're all waiting for it to land with baited breath. We al...
