Overgrowth Volunteer Orchestra Post-Mortem
May 3rd, 2018
Overgrowth Arrangement Post-Mortem Written by Mikko Tarmia and Anton Riehl Introduction It’s always interesting to try new things, so during the Overgrowth’s development process we had this idea of having Wolfire’s community to contribute their musical talent for the game’s upcoming soundtrack album.

Previous month in Overgrowth - early August
August 7th, 2017
Project Status: Over the last month, we released the hotfix for Beta 4, resolved many bugs, and completed most of the new Overgrowth campaign. We're now working on an internal gameplay test pass.

Lukas also had a big hand in making the video possible, by selecting the mods to showcase, taking all the in-game footage ...
The previous week in Overgrowth, end of April edition
April 29th, 2017
Project status: Most of the features for Beta 4 have been nailed down, and there are only a few bits of work left to complete.

April 20th, 2017
Beta 3 kept us busy these last two weeks, so this update came after two weeks instead of one. On the plus side, that means it's twice as big! Here's all the things we've done in the last two weeks for the game: Redesigned the mods menu after feedback. This will go into the release that follows ...
