i figured it out

Post by Ralok » Sun Feb 01, 2009 12:47 am

the mystery
when i click the mystery button on the overgrowth main page it changes the background


go to trailer and media.

behind the rabbit there is a stone block
its not stone

its made out of concrete you can see exposed and rusted rebar
it has support

most races in lugaru appear bronze age level of technology
while the tech to make something like this isnt beyond them

it seems to me that they wouldnt need to
that rusted metal is going to haunt me for the rest of my life (or until overgrowth comes out)

1: we've established this takes place years (not sure how many) after humans died out... so it's possible some of these structures have been left over.

2: I like the mystery button. I was actually one of the first people to find it =o

Out of curiosity, how can you tell you were one of the first to find it?

Because I was on the IRC when the website went up, and nobody mentioned it till I did a minute or so later...

I guess?

Yes, I like the background with the mountains better than the cliffside. it's a bit darker and cooler =P

The dev team hints at things. Listen to the interviews.

The more recent forum threads haven't been talking about it, but a few months back there were some discussions. E.g. 'what happened to the humans' where one of the members photoshopped an image of the earth and a meteor striking it to show what he thought happened.

Also recall the race style guide-- if you look at the section for dogs, it references "nanocrete" as a material used in their buildings.

nanocrete sounds silly

permacrete
relacrete
impervacrete

but im open to whatever twist wolfire puts on the story

The game takes place on Earth, by the way. The island hasn't been named yet, so we're just calling it 'lugaru' for the time being. I hope they change its name in the future though to avoid confusion, though.

the planet that dragonball z takes place on is also called earth, but there are a few obvious differences.

The ending calls it "the island of Lugaru," but I suppose that could've meant "Lugaru's island."
