Amazing stuff!I'll preorder when i get the money to do so. xD
DANG...0:16 brings back memories of awesome bunny-kicking combat from Lugaru for me! Can't wait to see this game fully released!
Crazily enough, the walls in the background, with their rather impressive parallax displacement mapping (or peuso-parallax displacement using normal maps, as it probably is), made we wonder if you'll be adding support for OpenGL 4.x-based tesselation - even though those textures I mentioned would probably be the WORST ones to utilize tesselation on AND you'd be developing a feature for what would probably amount to a very slim segment of your audience.
Brilliant! That pathfinding system is really neat. I can't wait to see how you improve it in the future.
I just watched 'shrek' for like 100 time and I tought if you could make a granny outfit for the wolf... just a twisted idea ^^
what happened to 172?
Throwing a knife... LIKE A BAWS! At 0:23 seconds :D
This wouldn't be 172?
I guess they just didn't get to do the video about 172, because of GDC.
Wow I think is the best pathfinding I ever see in videogames. :O
Will be cool see the bunny bots using jumps for attack, the AI looks hard, now imagine if tey jump and/or drop the knifes... it will rulz.
I´m glad the videos back, keep it working and congrats for your advances. ^u^
And they said the path-finding that they currently have is just a placeholder! :S
Whatever is cool... also my english fail sometimes when I am listening, my apologies. x3
You guys taught me so much about 3D game development, I'll be sending a fan letter in the near future. Thanks so much.
Every update. Every ******' update. Overgrowth looks too tough.
