Some friends and I tried this in a UT2004 mod and it failed hard. Menu's are best designed for ease of use, not gimmicks, even if it would be nice. Form = function applies here. As it turned out, people often don't want to spend a couple of minutes waiting to load into a menu, only to have to spend...

you also have to keep the 'uncanny valley' in mind. Im pretty sure it can apply to physics and object dynamics as-well :3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley :) I don't think it applies as much with physical objects. The reason being that you have less of a mental connection to inanimate ob...

you should make some original wallpapers, maybe they will be put on the official site

who knows age of empires 3, how you could watch your hometown flourish, and each person would go about their daily activity. i don't know to what degree NPC's will engage in non-combat activities, but if they ever did wander around, purchasing goods, carrying loads, hobbies, working... i would love ...

if DMM could be implemented into OG seamlessly, without overburdening computers, hat would be amazing! Imagine fights in dry bamboo forests! or leg cannoning a rabbit through the wall of a house! it would be incredible. it wouldnt add MUCH to the gameplay, maybe it would allow setting up complex tra...

I don't think this is necessary at all, i think it is a complication to the game-play that lugaru and overgrowth are aiming to avoid. i don't see how this would help a mod either. The fighting style of turner is completely up to the player, they are not pre programmed. if you want to do fast attacks...

BOW BEFORE ME!!!!!!!
(I probably have a lot of enemies now)

From the latest blog post: For the desert landscape in the pictures above, ridges really dominate, but for other landscapes (such as those with creeks , gorges, and chasms) creases will also be very important. :D gotta love using phillips qoutes against him. in the end the team will be like we thou...

It's no stranger an idea than hitpoints, is it? The main complaint about the idea seems to be that you've called it luck. So... er... don't call it luck, i guess. The end result (that as you take damage you become more likely to take more damage) is good, but I think for Overgrowth this should be a...

Wow, the world is screwed. I can just see it now, the man laying on the floor with both legs broken after jumping out of the second story window, screaming "But my luck bar was full!" what are you trying to point out with this example? If you break this down and look at it from 'luck' per...

I have a system moderately similar to this in a flash game I'm working on at the moment. Rather than luck it's based around stamina; when you have full stamina and you get hit there's a very low chance of being stunned or knocked out, but you will lose a quantity of stamina in proportion to the str...

or maybe it depends on a balance between good and bad luck...

yeah, how much luck you have would have to be displayed in a bar. HP and luck could go hand in hand. so if against odds you DO take a hit, it detracts a certain amount from your health. also, different parts of the body could be more or less vulnerable, for example, while you have full luck, the cha...
