We will send out another update when the theme is decided and when the map jam begins.
Update 1.4 is out now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMuzNDgGDoY
In this update, we added a new story mode campaign: Drika's Story, and some improvements for modding.
The editor's spawner menu has been cleaned up quite a bit. Many new items have been added to the spawner menu (over 200!), and old ones have been cleaned up.
Now most hidden parameters for characters have also been exposed in the editor, so they're easier to find and to remember how to use.
There's also a bunch of other bug fixes and other small modding related features that have been added.
Thanks to the Wolfire community (especially people on The official Discord Server) for all the play testing and bug reporting they've been doing. Without you, this 1.4 release wouldn't have happened! Also, thanks for the late-night spawner item testing. That was a lot of work :)
Changelog:
Here's the top changes in the 1.4 release. The points listed here are just a summary of all the changes. You can find the full change log here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kTlvqPI5DxGyRETuk11pUdpa8x918az96oKNtoTgkdM/edit?usp=sharing
New Drika's Story Mode:
- New story mode content in the Therium 2 universe
- Drastically improved version of the mod version of Drika’s Story (so it would be worth another playthrough if you’ve played the mod)
- A lot of new dialogue and levels
- Graphics updates (to the Steppes especially), and more character interactions
Editor:
- Exposed most hidden parameters on characters, so they can be easily found in the editor UI
- Made AI fear mechanics fully customizable via editor params. Can now make rabbits not flee wolves, make non-wolves scary to other species, etc.
- Added parameter to make a specific character flee when health drops below specified value
- Cleaned up spawner items, added all working items to the spawner that were used in levels
Modding:
- Many bug fixes. See the full change log (link above) for details
- Many new script APIs
- Several small improvements to the editor
If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to bugs@wolfire.com
To download the update, use Steam, or log into your Humble Bundle account.
Thanks as always for all the support. See you guys in Discord!
1.3.1 hotfix out now
- Fixed a crash when launching levels that don't have loading screen tips (Lugaru story levels, Versus/Arena/Sandbox levels, a few Overgrowth story levels, and most Workshop mod levels)
More information on the 1.3.x patch series is available here: Overgrowth 1.3.0 patch announcement
If you're having problems with the new 1.3.1 hotfix, please email us to get tech support.
Include the full text of any error message you see. Include a full description of the symptoms (including screenshots, if applicable). Also tell us the full steps to reproduce the problem (and which levels you see the problem in).
Attach the hwreport.txt, logfile.txt, and a zip file of the crash dump folder the game makes (if the game made one). Here's how to find those files on your computer: https://wiki.wolfire.com/index.php/How_To_Report_a_Bug_in_Overgrowth
Send that email to bugs@wolfire.com
Update 1.3 is out now
https://youtu.be/qaFvVzrcZ6M
In this update, we added better controller support, and support for language mods.
Controllers now work in menus, and can be rebound inside the game instead of having to hand edit the config file. You can also rebind controls for each of the players, when using the local multiplayer or split screen support.
To show off the new language localization support, we've added a mod that uses Google Translate to add support for a few different languages.
We've also made many bug fixes, some performance optimizations, and a bunch of improvements to the editor and to mod scripting.
We added a lot of modding features to hotspots, which should allow modders to make modding tools that are much easier to use. Hotspots now support linking through the editor, and support custom GUIs.
Changelog:
Here's the top changes in the 1.3 release. The points listed here are just a summary of all the changes. You can find the full change log here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_1-XeLYUc-m2-w7JLlRD-fi3IQYzf68buFVkaDKiusY/edit?usp=sharing

Performance:
