As a dev, very dumb humble Unity dev, my sympathies and appreciation for your willingness to stick with this. It's not easy. Especially when people complain about your development. Can seem very unfair and demotivating. But stick with it. They kinda hate you get is because people care. It's not the same kinda rage that Ubisoft gets for unfinished games or EA gets for business practices. I hope the things needed to improve pace does you a lotta good. TL;DR Take your time.

+littleNorwegians I don't think people are being that unfair though. Yes, criticism is never that great of an experience and I will admit they did show some progress over time. But a *lot* of changes must have happened under the hood of their engine (sometimes not always for the best, seeing it still has major performance issues on certain hardware and nope, haven't tested the latest alpha yet, but I grew kind of tired of even trying it... only to be, well disappointed. :/ ). I did not see too much progress when it comes to the actual campaign, the actual levels. And this has been the case for several YEARS now. It does not sound right to me that after all these years they are even considering a swap to Unreal Engine 4. I'm fairly sure I've bought their 'game' about 5-6 years ago. With such time passed, it really is not unfair to expect more of a game.

I pre-ordered this game when i was still in fucking high school. I hope hiring 23 people will speed this shit up. Edit: after reading LittleNorwegian's comment I've gotta say, I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated because this game had so much promise and I was so excited back then I saved up for like a month just to get the pre-order. I was a huge fan of Lugaru and I think I still have it installed somewhere. But It's probably not easy for you guys either to struggle with a project, so I admire your tenacity to stick by this game after what has been a very rocky road. I hope this road is almost over and we can finally play this game in its full glory.

I really enjoy the arena mode we have now, and especially the power of the level editor. And I have faith that development will speed up past this update.

Same thing will happen with Cyberpunk 2077. And this is the same logic for this game. As a creator who jumps from one personnal project to the other very quickly, I have so much respect for guys like wolfire who dedicated so many years to their project.

***** Criticism is fine, I'm not saying they are exempt from that, I'm saying that's not what they've been getting, if you need to directly insult the developer in your criticism (which is mostly what I've seen btw) then you aren't giving them criticism, you are simply throwing a tantrum. (You as in the royal you, not literally *you*) The problem is though, it's easy to say when it should have been done, but we have absolutely no way of knowing why it wasn't done a year ago. I should point out that I don't have any particular care for this game over the others I've pre-ordered or backed development of, or just bought in general. The statement I made I meant as a general sweeping statement that could apply to any other game (without the first paragraph of course). butteredbread100 The hiring of more people sounds good to me, considering the primary complaint people make against small devs is that they should hire more people as they think it will magically speed along development. I'm not saying there aren't issues with the development, but it'd be stupid not to consider all their options at this stage, if it turns out that switching to another engine will make the game be completed sooner with a better quality, why wouldn't they switch?

As someone who paid, what, $40 years ago for this game.. The reason I bought it was actually for these videos. A lot of us feel abandoned that you stopped working on/caring about the videos. I don't care about the weekly podcast thing, I don't want to see it, I have zero desire whatsoever to see people sitting around talking about everything. I want THESE videos. I feel sad about OG though because the window where it would've been relevant has simply passed. None of the technology is impressive anymore, because it was never implemented into anything compelling. Now you're stuck finishing a game that people just aren't going to care about the same way they did in 2012. Lesson learned? Also...Why would you change engines after that's basically all you've done in the last 5 years?
@epr8974

+1lapmagic The game never was 40$. They have explained why the update videos stopped. For one, there wasn't that much to show, since most of the stuff they were working on was internal or management related over the last few months. Not really anything gameplay could show. Secondly, making these videos takes time. More time than setting up a conference call and broadcasting it on a website that allows them to directly interatct with the audience. And he explained why they were considering an engine switch in the video.

EPR89 "the last few months" as you say it was almost a year. Significant progress not being made shows a breakdown at the managerial level. It's not what David does, he's a programmer, and not enough has gotten done. No explanation for an engine switch is valid when the game is basically content-free after 5 years. The Overgrowth engine is literally the *only* thing compelling about the game. Nobody has ever cared about the modes or the single player. Everyone is interested for the blood marks, physics, ragdolling, AI, editor, etc. etc. etc. Throwing all that away would be the biggest slap in the face, and dumbest thing I could ever imagine, in the name of finally releasing a game with the name Overgrowth. It would NOT be Overgrowth.

1lapmagic Content free...Guess a fully functional editor, fully functional gameplay versus AI on a basic level and a bunch of playable maps don't count as content then? No progress being made... Getting experts on board to work on level design, artwork and modelling and the story doesn't count as progress then, right? That bit about the engine change is very funny funny. In the older update videos people were actually suggesting an engine change to speed up development because they thought that the development on the game modes wasn't going fast enough for them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm glad I'm not a developer.

Thus we see the progeny of the original developers take up the mantle. Many generations shall pass before the deed is done. Overgrowth is a game across the ages begat of a single dream, that parkour ninja rabbits can fight anthropomorphic swordsmen. Such an impossible ideal cannot be realized within a single lifetime, it must be handed down as an heirloom to each successive offspring, a burden of responsibility. Once it was simply a sandbox level editor with a great combat and freerunning system driven by physics yet now through the labors of the progenitor devs it has become something we never thought possible, a sandbox level editor with a great combat and freerunning system driven by more detailed physics and an arena mode. Sadly, it still crashes a whole bunch and runs slowly. I am a proud original backer from long before the humble bundle/kickstarter days, I cheer you on Wolfire, shine on you diamonds!

I've waited so long for some new news about this game I swear I forgotten that it even existed. Kinda thought this game was dead, but I like that they're going to try to update every other week now.

I really hope this never gets abandoned. Take your time guys, I see so much potential here. Just imagine an amazing story mode in the style of Assassin's Creed with these characters and graphics. Would be truly groundbreaking. However, I feel that you guys should expand your team asap. 5 to 23 people seem waaaaay too little for such an ambitious project.

Great to hear this; i bought this game back when nerd cubed did his first video on it and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't disapointed at the speed of development. This video has made me hopeful for the future of this game though; maybe not for it ever getting finished but at least that it'll get some good mods. Having said that, these are some pretty ambitious goals, but if you succeed then this game might actually be in a semi-complete state in a couple of years, which is music to my ears, and I wish you guys the best of luck. Having said that, as a player that has extracted a lot of time from the current arena mode, what I'd love to see in the future are a few demo levels that are exactly that; levels. A beginning, an end, and a lot of jumpy, wall running, hacky slashy fun (and maybe a bit of plot) inbetween. It would be good as a writing and level designing exercise as well as highlighting flaws in the engine's combat, movement, and AI systems, and it would also give us a chance to offer you feedback in reguards to the afformentioned things. Thanks for reading this fucking essay, and once again, good luck! Oh shit, i just realised that this is a youtube comment and there aren't any obvious spelling mistakes. Bettr ficks that's.

You have no idea how appreciated it is that you hired a bigger team to work on your game. 9 months ago I was among the people complaining that the game would never be done and the near insignificant changes weren't enough. Among us who did this did we also request of you to hire more people to increase development speed. And you finally did. This brings me hope again, and while I have always supported your game since I got it, I am definetly out of the zone of complaint, since you have taken the huge leap of getting more people for help :)

Wolfire has completely split from the Humble Bundle when the Humble Indie Bundle 2 came out and the team has explained that multiple times. And then there are people like you who for some reason feel the need to talk shit about stuff they know nothing about.

At least this won't be Duke Nukem Forever 2 :P On a serious note, respect and admiration for your ability to remain motivated on your project after so many years, and to be able to maintain a positive outlook despite the odd, less-than-pleasant comment. Lugaru and Rakion still top the charts for being the best combat games I've played. Hopefully Overgrowth can somehow meet those expectations, but that sets the bar pretty high! Good luck on your continued developments :). Take your time and just focus on one thing at a time!

I hope than the combat system will evolve to be as fun as it is on Lugaru, because the last time I played it it wasn't, the rabbit wasnt able to do as much cool movements as turner on lugaru can do. But its good to see all those improvements, and of course those related to performance. I will test the linux version soon to see how it goes.

I feel bad for the devs, a good game takes time to make and that you guys are doing more work for us than most game developers. I for one don't care that it it's still in alpha and the attitude of ragging on the game for still being in alpha is horribly backwards for anyone who wants a good final product. At this point the options are, release the game in its current state, which would cause an even bigger shit storm, or continue to improve and work on the game and eventually release a compressive game that is everything the devs wanted. That's just my two cents, don't shit talk a game because they are taking their time to build an ambitious game from the ground up, That's how we end up with disappointment for everyone involved.
