wolfire tech

I was watching some videos for the upcoming game "overgrowth" when i came across a video where they demo their tools that they use to make their game content.

Map editor:

I'm really a blown away about all the technology that's going into this game, their tools feature particle editors, decal editors, animation editor, a map editor, and even more. Of course the map editor isn't as complex as Hammer, but it is significant, kind of like a beefed up version of halo's forge editor, the ability to resize, retexture, and position blocks in real time with lighting is really outstanding i think. Overgrowth will apparently be open to modders right out of the gate, and you can even get your hands on all of these tools if you have the game preordered.

All this from an indie game company? It just seems unheard of.

Those are some SUPER old videos. Watch the weekly alpha videos every Monday.

Been following wolfire for a while now, and modding their engine. It's a totally great engine, super easy to mod and really pretty. I even got a guest post on their blog http://blog.wolfire.com/2011/05/Turner-in-GMOD
Wolfire are the indie games company I want to be when I grow up. Read through some of the old blog posts, David really has a handle on what he is doing. /me loves wolfire. I should put that on a shirt

This reminded me to pre-order like I had planned to originally.

It definitely looks like a promising game. The modding tools look like lots of fun to use, and who doesn't like brutal melee combat? And they're rabbits...rabbits are awesome.
