Downloading right now.
Curse you slow internet! I want the update now! >:(

[Zhukov]

Okay, can anyone tell me how to fullscreen this sucker?

Can't find an option for it within the game and changing the config files has no effect.

[valentinbk]

This looks awesome, loving all the new details you added.

[Korban3]

I'm loving the exposed IK and ragdolls, goes a long way to a potential gun mod.

[iramiz]

Yay! Update!
Tried to play a little with huge unbeatable horde of rabbits in one place (about 10-12) in Red Shards. Still, though it's foolish to try to beat them, in aggressive mode they tend to drop fps significantly to 40-50, but this is playable. But the real fps drop begun when I jumped on one of the shards and they just swarmed the wall while the fps came down to 10-12. Interestingly, but when I jumped down, fps didn't grow back, and more curious, not all rabbits start chasing me, couple just standing and couple tried to jumped to that shard. Just curious behavior of the game I think worth mentioning.

i hope he optimized the awfull ragdoll fps drop. btw this week can't get any better.
godus has archers and they are working on even a better update and overgrowth also has a great update!!!

Nice to see that the idiots from the Haphead video have acted against their promises and decided to stick around to lie, threaten, aleniate and misinform people a bit more...

Hmmm? I did not back them, but they seemed nice enough. What exactly did they do?

Haphead them selves did nothing, David stated his opinion about gamergate on twitter and then things heated up. And since Overgrowth is in the Haphead web series, people got assy with bad comments.

[zzwerty]

Is it possible to play the prototype levels shown in the video?

[Sirian]

what could be causing this?





updated the game, saw that there was a little optimization for lotsa enemies, and went to try it out.

arena, some guys were all colorful(couldn't take a screenshot, as i restarted to see if it went alway) like, all colorful, like a texture bug, then i restarted to see if it would solve itself, and they became all black, not even more colorful

note: this only happens to the rabbits in hoods

EDIT: solved it, just verified the game files via steam and it's normal again

[wolfbrother9393]

I'm so excited about the new update!! Every now and then I would accidentally get disqualified in the arena by re-killing the same enemy several times. I can't wait to see what's new. c:

[BobSnyder]

Heres a suggestion: When the enemy is only unconscious, not dead, we can grab their body like normal, and if we grab their head, we can press LMB while holding RMB and snap their neck. Too brutal?
