Why not make it so the player can choose if they want slow-motion or not? In the config/options. To me it looks better with it off.
Agree, lot of other games have a "slow-mo" on/off toggle in the options, why not Overgrowth?
You are already able to toggle this in the script - Which is directly implemented in the editor.
yeeew, blood sprinkles!! but awesome! xD keep it up guys!
The Slow-Mo is ok, but really repetitive, you need to get rid of that, I would like to have slow motion in the final game.
why not a feature to use slo-mo in game while spending an "energy bar" or something like that?
btw, is this game going to be sold in physical copies? sadly my net connection isn´t to good for downloads.
I think slow-mo should depend on the difficulty settings. In easy the current system, in normal only slow-mo while dodging, in hard no slow-mo at all.
Wow uber realistic blood it.
I agree with TrooperHUN. Wicked stuff btw
