Rabbit Sculpt for Overgrowth
September 16th, 2009
I've been working on this new rabbit character model recently. We actually have a couple of other character models already complete, but they rely on technology that David hasn't had time to implement in the engine yet. I haven't shown them off on the blog because they still need our fancy fur and clothing(!) systems. However, we ...
Overgrowth fan art spotlight - Emir0
August 30th, 2009
In the last year, artists have created many brilliant works of art inspired by Overgrowth, so we have been highlighting our favorites here on the blog. So far we have shown you works by ^_^ and Gauss and today I would like to share some stylized character portraits that Emir0 (aka M3nace) posted on page 19 of the fan art ...
Taking texture reference photos
August 26th, 2009
I use reference images to make the textures that I put on objects in Overgrowth. It's easy to get texture reference images from websites like CGTextures, but that can be limiting. Taking your own photos is also really easy! This image is a normal reference photo I took while on my trip to the mountains. I thought it looked ...
Overgrowth Soundtrack: Ambient 2
August 21st, 2009
More Overgrowth music has been uploaded to the Wolfire YouTube channel.

Be sure to listen to it in HD. Were I slowly walking through a grassy meadow, this track might make ...
Overgrowth soundtrack album
August 16th, 2009
This is a post from Mikko Tarmia who is the composer for all of Overgrowth's music. I run my own small music label called The Sound of Fiction, which focuses on game and movie soundtracks. For me it's a channel to release my own productions, but we also do collaboration projects - like AIKA, a collaboration of four composers ...
Overgrowth Soundtrack: Stealth 3
August 14th, 2009
Over the past few weeks, we've started uploading songs to a YouTube playlist. All the songs are composed by Mikko Tarmia and often feature Anton Riehl on the flute. I asked everyone in the last music post what type of track we should reveal next. 'Stealth' was the most popular request. So without further ado... here is one of ...
Rabbit facial expressions
August 11th, 2009
One challenge we face with Overgrowth, and with the Overgrowth webcomic, is mapping human emotions onto animal faces. Today I decided to experiment with that in my little sketchbook. Even though I'm not an artist like Aubrey, I mentioned in a previous blog post that it's always useful for game designers to practice drawing! I was still not ...
