Wolfire now accepts Google Checkout
December 14th, 2008
Hey guys, I know a lot of you have avoided PayPal and have been contacting us on AIM, etc. for ways to buy Overgrowth without using it.

Aubrey was showing me some of the new assets he has been working on as of late. He has been making some awesome blocks, pillars, walls, roofs, and other architecture.

We couldn't be prouder of this achievement. Silverfish has also been keeping our ModDB page up to date and thanks to him we are one of the most ...
A couple of new weapons
December 4th, 2008
Aubrey passed me along a set of weapons to show you guys from Overgrowth. Here are the rapier and main gauche.

Overgrowth is picking up steam...
