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):
- Animated debug text using webkit
- Set up proper animatable wolf rig
- Started to overhaul level load system
- Updated angelscript to 2.22.1
- Fixed memory leak when saving shadow textures
- Fixed occasional crash on quit in angelscript destructor
Thanks as always for all the support! See you guys in IRC and the forums.

For new users:
If you have not installed Overgrowth yet you can use the SUMLauncher (http://forums.wolfire.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14201) to download it!
If you already have Overgrowth installed you can use the SUMLauncher to update it to the latest alpha.
The SUMLauncher also allows you to install the Menu Mod (http://forums.wolfire.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12471) which gives you another 90+ maps to try.
For Existing SUMLauncher users:
If the menu files were changed in this alpha, the menu mod will no longer work. Updating the Menu Mod (to re-enable custom maps) might take us a little while. Once we have uploaded a new version you can use the menu mod installer to update it. (And don't worry, it won't break anything if you try running the installer before we upload the new files.)
It may also take us a bit to update the Menu Mod to include any new maps that this alpha may have added.
For future updates keep an eye on our twitter, @SUMOGUtilities (https://twitter.com/SUMOGUtilities)!
You really do need the SUMLauncher to get the most out of Overgrowth.
the wolf is going to be a big threat
The tail is too static.
Note to self: Kill wolves with weapons.

From. A. Distance.
These updates make my Mondays palatable.
Wolf models still need a lot of work, I'm not sure if they are supposed to be placeholders or not, but they are by far the ugliest thing in these alpha videos.
Maybe the team now need concentrate with the wolfs, the bunnies are almost perfect. I am agree with the comments of the tail looks static, will be cool animated and... make a new animation when the wolfs run, looks very silly. x3
