Here is what is new in Overgrowth in this weekly alpha. If you are confused what a weekly alpha is, or even what Overgrowth is, please read our fancy FAQ. Basically, we are developing a massive video game from the ground up — we are able to do this completely independently by accepting preorders for the game before it’s done!
Overgrowth
