Evil Games is an indie game studio that is currently developing an action adventure game that combines exploration, puzzles and super fast gameplay. And even though their game is an isometric title, the company decided to create an alien mascot for it. This alien character is still a WIP model and is being created via the Unity Engine.

Wolfire Games has released a new video that showcases the changes that have been made to the latest alpha version of Overgrowth. This week, David Rosen added a ‘case error’ alert and a ‘process pool’ toggle to config. Most of you won’t even bother with these features but let us tell you that they are really importan for developers and modders.
