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.
In this video, David shows off the new attachable armor / general object feature by giving a rabbit custom wooden armor and demos how it works with the color picker.

That's a really nice armour system.
Just like someone asked in the Youtube comments: does the armor protect you in any way? I'm very curious about this feature myself. And if so, then how could the player utilize this feature in real time?
maybe used an armored arm to deflect light sword strikes similar to a shield.
Oh! I can't wait to see what kinds of characters you can create using custom armour equipment. It's far more visually diverse than the colour picker. Not to knock the colour picker, but it'll be better to have both armour AND colouration!
GOOOOD NEWS !
Any helmet? :3
"Maybe a fencer would wear more armor on one side" I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they did/do lol
