Here is the latest in our new weekly Overgrowth alpha format! David himself took some time to illustrate the traditional changelog in video form.
Don't forget that you can help support us, try out our weekly alphas (such as the one in the video), and chat with other preorderers in the Secret Preorder Forum by preordering Overgrowth.
Be sure to watch it in HD!
The features highlighted in the above video are as follows (among some extra ones thrown in for good measure):
- Create waypoints, save/load/undo/redo
- Connect waypoints
- Connect characters to waypoints, read path in script
- Characters return to patrolling when hostility ends
- Ctrl-z does not cause ragdoll (even though z does)
Thanks as always for all the support! See you guys in IRC and the forums.
Also, feel free to support us by preordering Overgrowth!

RUNRUNRUNRUN. I MUST RUN.
Those guards are sure energetic.
Couldn't you set speed to a variable, with, say, 10 being default and anything above that being running and anything below being walking?
The Kinect motion capture has potential, though it seems kinda cheesy. Hahah.
Looks great guys.
Try this, take TWO not one kinect, and put em on opposite sides of the room, then make it capture depth on both sides...
Now imagine if you can combine 4 of these, with one on each side, and sync them into a program.
With kinect alone, poses, emotes, and stationary moves can be used maybe...
Like sleeping characters, etc.
yea you need multiple kinects for a good rig much like a standard mocap setup
good point, but who gonna buy all these kinects?! ;D
nice new update clip, looking good... the running bunnys and you jumping around in the living room :>
Hell I would if it proved effective!
edit::
The person below me thought of exactly what I was thinking lol
Cheaper than getting a studio for a high quality motion capture... The cost can rise higher than the thousands...
Also, you don't have to buy more Kinects, just borrow some from a friend since the device was sold a lot in the market.
The kinect is an active sensor, I believe it projects a particular noise based infra-red image into the room then uses an IR camera to look at how the image is distorted by the objects its hitting.
As such if you were to use more than one kinect I would expect you to get a fair amount of distortion. The more kinects you use the more distortion and errors you would get.
You would need a passive sensor to be able to double them up in the way you're describing.
This game would be amazing if there would be possibility to play it with kinect.
haha except you would be tired as **** like all the time not to mention the ****** up controls
Being a MGS employee, I'm pretty stoked to see the Kinect used in these kinds of ways. Really amazing progress you guys are making, will have to preorder soon.
Kinect is awesome, if not for what Microsoft intended it for.
Can we swap the physics in this to gta? These physics are top notch... well so is the whole game.
Finally! Man, I was just so sad without my weekly Overgrowth fix =(
Goes to show that what you guys do actually means something to us fans.
On a sidenote: I had no idea Kinect could actually be useful for something ..
If you put something across the rabbit way,the rabbit could transpires to avoid it or to jump over?
