Mark my words Overgrowth is going to get the "Best Blood Effects Award" the year it comes out.
Agree. These blood effects are the best i've ever seen.
true! +1 for you two - i ask myself why no other game came up with some similar effects till now, the stab blood effect (whole) looks so real its almost creepy :D
awesome work @ dev's.
a true sequel..this is..(loll everytime I watch one of the devlog vids I boot up Lugaru)
The blood effects... @_@ cool!
i'm hyped for this game :)
That's great.
the blood effects are so cool keep up the awesome work
everyone has already said it;
THIS BLOOD EFFECT IS SO GOOD!!!
never seen something that accurate before in a game qua blooding!!

This will be a remarkable technical feat and a fantastic game, I remember watching this game in it's early stages of pure skeletal meshes and displacement maps, now I want to preorder more than ever.
wow the blood actually makes me squeamish 0.o
And I play a lot of gory games
I can smell Watership Down inspired levels when this come out.
Did not look at rabbits the same way after seeing watership down as a kid. To this day, the very mention of the movie makes me twitch.
Oh my, more blood. You know, for those of us squeamish about the stuff, you could add different colored or rainbow colored blood. At least faces aren't exploding on me when I try to watch one of these. (a freind reccommended a fallout trailer, didn't get past 25 secs of exploding body parts)
hey what about blunt weapons does it leave impact wounds or something along those lines?
Absolutely amazing progress on that blood effect!
I still say the blood should not look so shiny. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't blood-soaked fur look a bit more dark and non-reflective?
Has anyone seen that one episode of "The Venture Bros." where Brock Sampson is "preying on the enemies fear" by running around naked covered in the enemies blood? I have a feeling there are going to be moments like that in this game. (lol)
I always hated games with fake blood effects...
So im very excited about Overgrowth!!
This game is going to be amazing with such in debth wounds... I can imagine I won't get bored by simply fighting over and over.. I didn't in GTA IV where I just like to hit peds and see them fall since years :) I still do it, this if it'll be modable it's going to be amaazzing! Screw the haters
All I'm wandering now is how much calculating power will be required for this game to run...
But this is some great stuff.
Hmmm... The story line of this game is currently:
a) Not in development
b) Not started
c) Secretly developed
