I was perusing TDM clips off youtube when I came across another set of clips from a game called Overgrowth. Looks like they're building an engine from the ground up, showing it's development with physics and environmental effects. Their blog does a really good job of getting its viewers involved as well. Just thought I'd share! :)

They already made a game, called Lugaro. That one looks like it will be even better, but I have no idea when they finish :)

Lugaro was about the attack rabbit wasn't it?

I played the demo and really liked it. It wasn't a technical marval by any means, but it had real charm, and it had some actually pretty sophisticated melee mechanics ... so it's in that group like with Mount & Blade and our own Dark Mod, first person with a lot of control in fighting. You're not just aiming and pushing a trigger.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Lugaru, and yes, it was a rabbit fighting game. :)

 

Wolfire definitely knows how to drum up pre-orders! They're hitting all the high notes w.r.t. indie promotion and marketing. Really good job.

 

Oh, and the game looks good too. :P

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
