We are starting on actually making our landscapes look like real landscapes! So far we have completed a lot of the macro detail, like the general shape and color; but we still have a lot of work to do on the details.

Well, the 500th fan has joined the Overgrowth Facebook page! That is truly amazing and we are pretty much stunned. That is quite an army of Wolfire fans! It's crazy that about a week ago I was bothering my roommate to join to bump the fan number up from 5 people to 6 people. You guys are the best community ever!

As promised, we are going to begin alpha testing, which is what most of you guys have been waiting for! Alpha testing is limited to the secret preorder forum and is starting immediately. People have been playing around with it for the past 20 minutes in the IRC channel and things are getting pretty exciting!

Thanks and happy testing! See you guys on the forums and in IRC.

Edit: to clarify, this doesn't mean that alpha testing is closed. Anyone else who preorders will still get in on the testing! In fact, John told me that now is the best time to preorder.

Aubrey carved this Wolfire pumpkin last night!

Phillip, John, and I set it on fire, in the spirit of the old school Wolfire logo.

Wolfire is a tiny indie video game developer but we want to be known internationally! If you are fluent in another language, or have ideas on how to publicize us in return for a free copy of OG and/or a cool tshirt, check out the Wolfire Overt Ops!
