In this Overgrowth Art Asset Overview, I show off the new arena I'm working on and talk a bit about the process of making it.

High-quality text rendering
March 18th, 2013
I was just working on some text rendering for the arena intro and outro (which should be in tomorrow’s alpha video), and thought I would share how we handle that problem in Overgrowth.

This first group of camp assets is not totally complete, but is still enough to make a simple scene. Be sure to watch it in HD! The camp in the video would be typical of dogs. Unlike wolves, dogs enjoy ...
