Hey look man, my name's "I-smel". What I lack in smarts, I at least pay back in honesty. Boink!

Lol, good to know I wasn't the only one who got the free steam version of portal.
I loved it, it was just way too short ...
Also, NTtE looks like it's shaping into a fairly open-ended epic rocket-platformer/side-scroller/actio n-puzzler... wait, what is the official genre??
You're gonna still be asking the same thing after the game's over.
I've bin calling it a "comedy platformer"
id say youre more of a dark comedy
no, dark comedy's weird and gross.
The first time GLaDOS freaked out about knowing Cave, ("Yes Sir, Mr. Johnson" Wait a minute, who is he? What the hell is going on here?" I knew she was Caroline.
I know! And then they kept teasing at that for 2 more hours after everyone'd allready got it. So when they finally revealed it nobody cared.
Also I feel like that whole side-story kind-of had nothing to do with anything, I thought they were gonna really tie it all together, but they did nothing interesting with the idea that GlaDOS is a person.
I let em off at the end where they said "Caroline deleted!" cos that felt like they were just saying "Aaaeeehhh who cares, It's fucking Portal!"
I agree 100% with you on everything you said about portal 2. And indeed, especially when GLaDOS was a potato she seemed to have more emotions, but that was also the time when she partially found out she was Caroline and got confused, also she didn't have her ''superpowers''. so thats alot to change someone/thing. I loved Wheatley, sometimes the jokes were stretched indeed, but without him the game wouldn't be the same. The ending was epic, I LOL'd hard when I shot the moon and shitstorms occured. I was completely satisfied with the ending.
I think when they tried to humanise GlaDOS at the whole potato part is when she came out with the worst lines. Like "BIRD!! Kill it! It's evil!!"
That sounds like a joke my little sister would write.
And the whole part where she was sticking up fr you and talkin about how dumb Wheatley is? It was like a Dreamworks movie or something, I thought it was WAY more fun when she had this weird broken robot-brain like in the first one.
I think I just didn't like any of the jokes where they humanised the robots. I liked all the "At the sound of the buzzer, stare at this painting for 6 seconds" and "To help with the test, smooth jazz will be deployed in 3.. 2.. 1" jokes about just how dumb Aperture Science was, and how robots dont know how to deal with people.
I liked Wheatley and loved the ending
never played any Portal yet, maybe I should
What happened to the awesome music from the flash game? Aren't you using that anylonger? :<
Our music guy's made a new version of it, but I don't think it sounds like videogame music in this version.

Where are you posting progress, here and tig? I'm wondering what other places there are.. maybe destructoid and indieDB? Id feel weird posting my games on indieDB cause games like Overgrowth are on there.
I-smel
here, my devlog on tigsource, and one other forum that's not about games or anything. I'm not gonna link that cos I'm A LITTLE BIT too honest about stuff.
I talk about different stuff where ever it is though, cos I don't think Tigsource really gives a shit about what I'm saying, so I keep it short there.
I've tried posting stuff on game websites like GiantBomb, but people on game forums are dumb a lot o the time, and they mostly just wanna give some snarky one-line review.
I could put it on indieDB, but I've never bin there. How long has Overgrowth bin in development! Oh my god!
