this engine would be great for platformers.

This engine would be great for a naruto game!
HEllo, you said your engine is very friendly for modding, so, will it be possible to modify terrain by using some brushes or terrain tool? Also you can modify your level in real time or off line only?
thank you!
The terrain is edited using heightmaps, which at the moment you can't edit in engine. It's probably codeable, but for now they have to be edited externally. Wolfire are using a third party terrain generator, terragen or geosculpt or something, to make their maps.
i've preordered it and u really can modify terrain colour and other things///even add or remove elements like rocks, wood and other things like weapons and AI controled ragdolls :) it's actually verry good and i can't wait for it to be finnished :)
What and what version of graphics libraries this engine use?
You mean the main one? Built on the top of OpenGL, AFAIK.
Nice engine, very cool. Where download this engine? Or purchase?
you can get your hands on the alpha builds if you pre order Overgrowth ;)
It's TBD so i don't think u will get it
