Hmmm… I’d never heard of Overgrowth nor it’s “prequel”, Lugaru: The Rabbit’s Foot until a silly mistyped search mistake sent me to Wolfire Games‘ site, which of course meant I just HAD to download and give that Lugaru demo a try. It’s quite challenging and very well done, so of course, logic dictates that I share info on this to anyone who doesn’t know that already while pointing out that Wolfire is working on that new spiritual sequel. Above is a work in progress look at some early gameplay, so it’s going to change and change some more as the dev process continues. It’s also a bit amusing to me because of a dinner conversation had last night about cute rabbits in literature, so this is more of an anthropomorphic update on Watership Down if you think about it. Check out this “how to play” combat action from Lugaru:

Overgrowth looks to expand greatly on this, so it’s going to be a game I’m going to follow as it progresses. If it’s floating your boat as well, poke around on that game’s main page, sign up for updates, peek at the cool webcomic and get happy that you’ve just supported yet another indie developer thinking outside the box.
