Re: Overgrowth songs in Lugaru

Awesome! Listening to the music, I actually think that music3 makes pretty good desert music at the beginning, though midway through it adds enough voices to not feel desolate enough. I kinda feel like the desert theme right now is very "soft" and peaceful -- which, depending on the kind o...

Re: OG weapons

Of course it's the first version (that Ninjas has shown us, anyway). That means this is the ideal time to suggest improvements! As long as a given image isn't declared final, I assume that it's open season for constructive criticism, and I'll provide as much as I can think of. Ninjas is free to acce...

Re: OG weapons

Ahh, I see how that works now. Catch the enemy's weapon on the blade below the hook, then pull; that makes sense. I was thinking of a weapon intended to make blocking easier, while this has more of a focus on disarming. Do realize that if you shove the blade in far enough for the hook to come into p...

Re: OG weapons

I like the decoration on the blade. The handle looks good too, but I have two concerns: 1) This is obviously an expensive weapon, as it's decorated -- most weapons would be much more workmanlike. 2) I'd be concerned about the grip becoming slippery from sweat or blood. Ivory and metal are pretty smo...

Re: Water In Lugaru 2

GaGrin's point is important. If you're going to do something, do it well. All this talk of a reflective translucent plane -- that's not water. That's a cheap cop-out. Given the quality we've seen on the other parts of the game (detailed blood flows, smooth animations, high-quality models), having a ...

Re: Wolfire Development Blog - Part 3!

Ehh, depends on how "tribal" the creatures in Lugaru are. We really don't know much of anything about their culture yet, so we can't say if it's appropriate for them to decorate their weapons.

Re: Secret Preorder Forum!

An actually semi-serious suggestion as far as difficulty is concerned: have a difficulty where all of the enemies are alerted as soon as you enter the map, always know where you are, and never stop trying to chase you down. For bonus points, give the player a really garish costume or something. :) I...

Re: What mod would you make?

My main interest would be in trying to add totally new weapons to the game -- not just new models and stats, but new animations to go with said models. For example, for all that nunchaku make pretty impractical weapons, I bet they'd be great for performing Lugaru-style reversals, especially if the t...

Re: Lugaru 2 is dead [aswell]

Key-based systems that use phone-home systems generally have keygen programs written for them instead of a list of known-good keys, precisely because of the problems you outlined. Or alternatively, the pirated version has been cracked to not phone home. Heh, it's funny -- a lot of very well-paid peo...

Re: Preorder Overgrowth!

Okay, secondary question -- for those of us who don't want to create Paypal accounts, is there some other way to preorder? An address we could send checks to or something? Edit: looks like the answer is "yes", though understandably Jeff doesn't want to share his address publicly. Thanks, J...

Re: Lugaru:Empire, Another Campaign!

The wolf in the garden is close to a "window", and one of the wolves is on the bridge. If you aren't able to stealth the first wolf on the right, there's another window nearby as well. I will admit I lured them close to the windows, initially with the thought of trying to reverse them out ...

Re: Overgrowth mod ideas?

I'm actually wondering what the feasibility of adding new weapons would be. Seems to me that if it were even possible in Lugaru 1 (which it isn't, to my knowledge), you'd need to create the following things: 1) Model of the weapon (including clean and bloodied textures) 2) Weapon stats (blunt/slashi...

Re: Lugaru:Empire, Another Campaign!

Here's my feedback, keeping in mind that I haven't yet finished it (I'm at the third Sky Palace level, so I should be pretty close to the end, though). * Some of the levels are difficult in what I found to be a not-very-fun way. In particular, I'm thinking of: ** Dante's hideout, where you have to m...
