Getting better all the time. My most anticipated indie game!
small but nice update :) especially for guys who like to play around in the scripting :) Can't wait for the next tuesday morning :)
Ah yes... Making the code easier to manipulate. That's a really good thing all programmers are advised to do. Even if they didn't use to do this in the past, they start doing it sooner or later.
ever thought of modelling hedgehogs for this game?
dont forget the blue skin ;)
xD That bunny was fast.
Meep Meep!
¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Epa¡ ¡Epa! ¡Epa! Yeehaw!
Looks great, guys.
Got any goals for what must be included when Overgrowth is hitting beta?
I realize others may have asked this before, but:
Will there be a demo when the game is complete?
Probably. I don't see any reason for it not to happen.
JAZZ JACKRABBIT!
It all looks great! But some of the animations are a bit offputting for me. The jump in particular, how his hands go really straight, looks a bit weird. :/
Apart from that it's looking fab!! :]
Great stuff, was funny watching him move so fast.
