Rumors and confirmed stuff

[rodeje25]

Since i discovered how awesome the irc is i've heard some stuff about new features and content wich will be in one of the future versions of overgrowth

Confirmed:
Lugaru campaign - Akazi
Akazi said there are some bugs with the dialogs but other than that it should be fine.

New menu - OGweekly
In one of the ogweekly streams aubrey sent some menu concepts to lukas (silverfish) wich he showed on the stream.

More script functions - Gyrth
Gyrth said it's very likely there will be more scripting functions so that means more modability! (David confirmed it on the OGweekly stream)

Better editor - Silverfish (A.K.A Lukas)
He poured his heart out and it ot very emotional on the OGw stream when Silverfish told u about how he does not like the editor.... And now on a more serious note: lukas really didn't like it that he uses 1 button for rotating, scaling and moving. So the editor will get better and hopefully more like blender.

PBR Physically Based Rendering - Lukas
it's a rendering system but it simulates much better how light bounces off of materials than any other rendering system.
Lukas did some tests with it and still has to talk with david if it gets implemented or not.

Voice acting - nevik
It's very unlikely but it's a maybe because the more voice acting the higher the cost.

These things have already been implemented:
flexible file hierarchy - David
this means you can have script loaded from multiple folders so modders don't have to modify the aschar.as anymore! (long story short: the game will be even more mod friendly!)

Better graphics - Silverfish
Silverfish told me david has been working on new graphics.

Have you heard any rumors or know about confirmed content/features? Post them below and i'll add them.

[Streven7]

Thanks for the info. What is the leg canon?

[rodeje25]

Thanks for the info. What is the leg canon?

it's like you jump in the air and then press the left mouse button and if you are close to an enemy you'll kick him really hard.

[EPR89]

Thanks for the info. What is the leg canon?

The jump kick.
Activated by jumping at an opponent and holding attack. You need a bit of height for it to work.

It's a bit tricky to aim, but when you connect, the opponent is pretty much dead. There is right now no way to block it or dodge. The enemies run away from you when you jump in order to avoid it, but you are usually faster during a jump than they are on the ground. So if they can't get a head start, you'll get them eventually.

David has said that the rabbit catcher weapon might become a way to counter it. I hope there's going to be other ways to avoid. I also still hope that it gets replaced by a tackle, but that won't happen.

[Streven7]

I love that move. I hope it isn't nerfed to complete uselessness.

[rodeje25]

I love that move. I hope it isn't nerfed to complete uselessness.

the kick itself doesn't do a lot of damage but it's the force with wich your enemy then collide's into pretty much anything instanly kills him.

I'm not sure that the new menu will be in the next update, but it was a mockup of a potential new menu. We'll see it eventually. The same may be true for the Lugaru campaign. It may be mostly done, but it doesn't mean that it will be complete. For example, if fire hasn't been implemented, than we will be missing that. The levels have apparently been done for a while though.

Just making sure to clarify that, because your first post makes it sound official that your "confirmed" items will be in the next alpha.

[rodeje25]

hmmmm guess i'll be changing it then

Thanks for posting all of this, it's extremely well received

thnxs, i'm thinking of posting this on the steam forums as well but i doubt it will be as well received as here.
