Wolfire Games Forums

i like all of that but i think we could do some stealth just a bit more, just a little bit though. like they could make a city (not like an urban city or anything) level where ur jumping from rooftop to roof top and sneaking around kinda like sly cooper. but you still have to be able to beat it in some other way then stealth mabye on 1 high rooftop ther will be a whole lot of wepons so u can go crazy

The first and the MAIN thing i expect from Overgrowth is mega-enhanced (like 3.5 times "cooller" then in L1 ) combat system.. Almost nothing else matters to me, except some beauty and techy graphics

Shields?

whats wrong with blocking with the weapon you are holding?

shields are slightly more effective when it comes to blocking blows... and can pretty much block anything except what can go straight through it or a grab. and instead of getting into a parrying duel, if you wanted to, you can block with the shield, then instantly stab or strike or w'ever, and it would make a slightly deeper combat system. As would dual wielding, but that seems like it's already added. Shields have a higher surface area however, and can probably block projectiles.

And I just like shields. Too much legend of zelda

And while you're doing that move, some bunny comes alone and hits you with a staff for trying to show off, utterly crushing your hopes of being flashy and telescoping your spinal column.

Damn. I was hoping that wouldn't happen.

nice

Maybe you could play as 'good' Turner, or 'evil' robotic-brought-back-to-life Jack or something

And then a showdown at the end?

I love games where you get to choose you path. It probably wont be a feature in Overgrowth as its quite late in the production process. But could there be an explore-able world where we can go wherever we want instead of having missions and being in a set area for one time. More like an RPG?

And also, a few features I would have loved in Lugaru:

Climb trees
More throws against enemies
Better models
Ragdoll system restricted to only move bones up to where they would stop in a human body (for example Turners lower legs keep going up to touch his stomach and his uppers stay still)

Love the game by the way, brilliant combat system

And maybe a small comedic touch - Have a few cages in the village with lush grass and a few mini humans hopping about inside

Side kicks, back kicks, and hand-edge strikes= Way cool.

Also: Multiple ways to play through each level.
IE, allow the player to take an aggressive, normal, or sneaky approach.
This element was almost there in Lugaru, but really it wasn't a strong part of the game.
eg, Dark messiah of Might and Magic.

Throwing dirt might be a cool option. You could throw dirt in an enemies eyes, it would lower your multiplier or your score or something, but it would be an option.

i desire limb hacking, bone breaking, and maybe even some disembowelment (for example if you get a good gut slash the intestines could spill out)

you guys know that if the wolfire team tried to impliment everything you guys are saying her (or even half of it) it would take soooooooo much longer for the game to actually be completed...

Actually bone breaks and joint dislocations would be great. No need for inside organs to blow up.

No need for inside organs to blow up

That could be cool too.
