Overgrowth

The very first Humble Bundle, put together back before anyone realized that it was going to become this whole big thing, was in fact called the Humble Indie Bundle: A pay-what-you-want package of World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru, and Penumbra Overture. That's a sweet deal by any measure, and it's also an interesting bit of triviai right now because today brings us an all-new Humble Indie Bundle—the 20th—with seven games and four soundtracks up for grabs.

For any price you care to pay, you'll get The First Tree, Tangledeep, and Among the Sleep Enhanced Edition, which is a great entry point: I'm not familiar with The First Tree but Tangledeep and Among the Sleep are both excellent and worth a hell of a lot more than a buck all on their own.

Beat the average price, which is still well under $4, and you'll add Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, Tooth and Tail, and Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. I don't know why anyone would willingly inflict Getting Over It on themselves and the guy with the beard and the gut looks too much like one of my Twitter friends for me to ever be comfortable with Dream Daddy, but lots of people love both and the small animal RTS Tooth and Tail is pretty great too. 

At the top end of the scale, for $10, you'll also get Overgrowth, and that one I'm not so sure about. A "kung fu rabbit game" sounds cool, but a childhood spent with Mother West Wind's Animal Friends means that I just don't think I'm ready for Mortal Woodland Kreatures Kombat. 

The bundle also includes soundtracks for Among the Sleep, Tangledeep, Tooth and Tail, and Overgrowth at their respective tiers. It's available until March 19.

The 1.4 update for Overgrowth is now available.
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!
