First Overgrowth Preview!!!

Post by Paragamer » Sat Oct 25, 2008 4:37 pm

We've got an exclusive Overgrowth preview on Paragamer.com, it features discussion on overgrowth's key features!

Check it out at http://paragamer.com/overgrowth-preview !!!

We'd like to hear your feedback!

Stay tuned to http://paragamer.com as we've got an upcoming interview with the Overgrowth team (Post a question you would like us to ask at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4080).

Rumor has it that we might be getting some Overgrowth beta code to give out to our reader's when it's ready...

Thanks

I'm not sure this is what you meant by feedback, but:
Each Overgrowth level presents players with and environment and a set of objectives.
should be:

"Each Overgrowth level presents players with an environment and a set of objectives."

Also:
Overgrowth feels much more combat inutative and contextual.
I think you meant intuitive.

Apart from this, there's some cool info in there that I don't think has been publicized yet. Seems like they're really using Lugaru as a model, but adding so much more to it. I had been thinking the controls would be drastically different :)

By "They're", you mean ParaGamer, right? Because this just looks like they used the original Lugaru as a framework and patched on some stuff they think will probably be added in Overgrowth.

Also, what's with all this "Is"? Overgrowth "Is"'nt anything right now, nothing much has really been done to warrant an "Is". You're making it sound like the game is completely finished.

there are three main races : Rabbits, Wolves and Cats
Online multiplayer is a big part of Overgrowth, players can team up and fight large scale battles against computer controlled characters.
Have these things been confirmed to you by the team?

Well cats have been announced, but I haven't heard anything about LARGE scale battles, but we all know there will be multiplayer.

Yeah reading over it again, this preview seems more like speculation rather than discussion. And seeing as they haven't done an interview yet, I might question its accuracy.

OK, for all those questioning the accuracy... Everything in the preview is fact the reason being it is the first stuff like this out there is because I helped Jeff edit the upcoming Press Release fact sheet !

Jeff can back me up on this one :) No speculation in our preview, everything there is fact!


Hope that helps Guys,

Thanks for the feedback

To clarify, we are aiming to have rats as well as the three other races mentioning (checking press sheet.)

Hey what about squirrels? Hasn't there been some art with them? Or was that in the fan art thread...

Yes, it was, and there will be more.

We're just hoping David and Jeff get the hint and have the time D=

Kewl. Right now the article implies only 3 races.

I think that's a rat. But I could be wrong, and it would be awesome if there were dogs.
