Social Media Icons for Game Developers
June 27th, 2009
I'm working on a few parts of the Wolfire site and one thing that I've been wanting to do for a while is change our list of social networking sites from a laundry list of links to a more friendly group of icons. Sort of like how the amazing DanLab has his set up on the DanLab blog ...
Wolfire schedules an interview with YOU!
June 20th, 2009
It's been our policy to leap on every interview opportunity that comes our way. We've already had a smattering of interviews (including a feature in Igromania magazine and a Developer Banter Podcast on ModDB). However, it dawned on us today that there's a major interview opportunity we haven't taken advantage of yet. We decided it's ...
A Shout Out to Cletus Clay
June 16th, 2009
When I was at GDC this year, one of the IGF finalists that really caught my eye was a sidescrolling platformer brawler called Cletus Clay.

As you may have seen on the Overgrowth Facebook page, I started Tuesday morning by storming in through the front with bagpipes and a Wolfire cape. However, the E3 administrators soon determined ...
A comparison of social networks
April 18th, 2009
Part of our strategy for getting the word out about Overgrowth revolves around various social networks. Pretty much the only way we grow is organically through word of mouth. This is why we take social networking sites very seriously, because we are able to grow without being dependent on (insert giant news site here) to randomly write an article on ...
Does Overgrowth Need A Tagline?
April 17th, 2009
Sometimes we get a little spoiled because almost everyone that visits us on the blog, the forums, IRC and meebo already knows that Overgrowth is a ninja rabbit fighting game inheriting the spirit of David's original game Lugaru. However, we've come to realize, that when our media hits more mainstream channels, people don't really know what to ...
