Here is the latest in our new weekly Overgrowth alpha format! David himself took some time to illustrate the traditional changelog in video form.

- Added "Name" and "Description" fields to level xml
- Can exit out of challenge level end to continue playing completed level

It would be neat if wolves jumped into the air when you did and batted you to the ground!
That would be one way to counter the player's ability to jump over them so easily.
two ideas: for the "stealth testlevel" it'll be awesome to create a night scenery for this. bright fullmoon, stars some clouds... stuff like that... that'll be done pretty fast i guess (chganging sunlight, skybox, light colours?) but add so much more atmosphere already for this task i think. ;)
for "the unarmed fight": make give the enemy idle gestures/animations if he tries to stay away... like tapping the ground with a foot very fast, or mocking the player with taunts. jumping backwards if the player gets to close should also look nice and then you won't have the problem with him not facing the player while moving backwards.
hope that helps a bit ;)
great update again!
