Except for the fact that it's wrong. Our human eyes can't perceive any maximum number of frames because it simply does not work that way. Yes, we can perceive a difference between significant numbers of frames. Will it influence how you enjoy the work as a whole? If the numbers are high enough then not really, but you can notice the difference. It's a multitude of factors. To blatantly state human eyes can't tell the difference after a certain number is a gross simplification of how the eye perceives still images.

OpenGL performance tends to be a little worse on windows, since direct OpenGL support was dropped for DirectX.
[QUOTE=NanoSquid;32031344]Thinking of getting this. Is it possible to set up little cities and Parkour your way through them?[/QUOTE]
Yes, there are various videos on youtube of Overgrowth parkour.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;32016686]Simple fix to "should there be slow mo or not" is: Let the player choose.[/QUOTE]
Another setting they could have for it would be to have the slow mo be used for many things in order to help people learn how to fight slowly. Eventually the easier movements would lose the slow mo until only the important and/or difficult moves had slow mo effects.

OpenGL is alternative to DirectX. OpenGL has nothing to do with DirectX except that it is it's rival.
From what I know, ATI drivers sometimes have problems with OpenGL.
[QUOTE=kabookie;32020880]Although 30fps is "fluid", 50 fps seems to be the limit to the eye's perception. Anything over 50fps is virtually impossible to notice. Some young children might be able to see 55 or in some cases 60, but by the time you're 5 or 10 years old, your eyes have grown accustomed to see life happen in "real time", not short bursts of intense images. Therefore it is nearly impossible to distinguish "real life" from anything over 50fps.[/QUOTE]
I can definitely see a difference between 50 fps CS:S and 100 fps CS:S though.
[QUOTE=acds;32020654]And 120 is a threesome (with 2 girls of course, 2 guys is just gay)?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=pal670;32020584]The difference between 30fps and 60fps is the same as the difference between masturbating and having sex, in theory the same action, but OH so different and WAY better.[/QUOTE]
Actually the difference is...
33.33 - 16.66 = 16.67 ms, but okay sex it is.
Also before anyone argues this bullshit, 60 fps is basically the upper bounds you will notice. While the difference between 30 and 60 is 16ms the difference between 60 and 120 is only 8ms, and if you can take action in 8ms I am pretty sure some action movie director wants to speak to you.

What. Stop talking, please. OpenGL and DirectX are just APIs for accessing functionality on your graphics card.
[editline]31st August 2011[/editline]
Just for comparison to see how little time 8ms is, the average human being can take up to 200 ms to see something on-screen and click it. So that 8ms per frame doesn't do a whole lot.
This really seems worth of my 20€
I just dont feel like spending...

Thank god someone said it. The whole, "your eye can only see a maximum of X frames per second", is completely bullshit.
I've been following Overgrowth (used to be called Lugaru 2 actually) development since 2006.
[url]http://blog.wolfire.com/page/160[/url]
Posts like that got me all excited and looked amazing. :D
Then everything was scrapped and rebuilt as "Overgrowth".
[url]http://blog.wolfire.com/2008/11/announcing-weekly-alphas/[/url]
Then this post came along which started the "weekly alpha crunch time" kind of stuff.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;32025706]30 is playable, but 60 looks visually smooth.[/QUOTE]
I can only play Terraria and Cortex Command on a netbook with 10-20 FPS. Funny thing, that I only notice the lag in typing, and not in overall gameplay
[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;32016644][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kms5yScMrbU[/media]
So in the alpha are you able to import and rig characters your own characters?[/QUOTE]
I installed this correctly, and now Overgrowth keeps crashing when I load a level

Good read for everyone who cares about FPS.

XBox is short for DirectX box?
Why didn't I know this. What is this.
Why would they do this to me?
How do I maximize the game, playing it minimized makes it lag.

Seriously, the graphics have so much potential... I wonder how the finished product will look like.
Eyegasmic, I bet!
I have GOT to get this game when I get paid, it just looks like so much fun! Can't wait for the next alpha release, the videos are always so interesting
