Overgrowth takes place in the savage world of Lugaru where rabbits, wolves and other animals are forced to use paws, claws and medieval weaponry to engage each other in battle. Combining 3rd person adventure platforming with intricate melee combat, Overgrowth achieves a unique feel. Overgrowth also benefits from Wolfire's brand new Phoenix Engine which has been built from the ground up to allow the use of cutting edge graphics, animation, and physics. Add to these exciting features Overgrowth’s realistic artificial intelligence and streamlined control system and the result is an astoundingly immersive experience.

Haha, that was a fun little update, the side view combat is a great idea that could be expanded upon in a big way, however perhaps make it a little more difficult to die :P

Also, have fun at GDC guys, hopefully your combat demo gains plenty of attention, i'm sure it will :D

Loved the last part too, it reminded me a little of Serious Sam actually :P

1:35 Epic Bunny Moment!! x3

I feel weird see a hud in this game, but the style is very cool... Mmm, I was wondered if the team will implement a radar like Lugaru.

That's brilliant! You've done so much work up to this point that all you needed to add was a HUD to the game and it's ready to play in that mode! Also, as a fan of Mario and Luigi: Bowser's inside story, I think the animation ques are a great touch.

I'm really into this fighting system. It's like samurai fighting, if you touch the other person, you win. That allows for fast paced combat and you need to master your defensive skills as much as your offensive.

I wish you guys are on Steam already.

Also with Valve working on the console, you guys plan on putting this game on it?
