Overgrowth

Overgrowth launched on October 16, 2017 after a long development period. The game includes a main story mode, a prequel story, and support for community mods through an integrated editor. The most significant development milestone came on April 21, 2022, when Wolfire Games announced that Overgrowth had been made open source. In a video post, developer Max Danielsson explained what this means for the game. Open-sourcing a game is typically a signal that the developer considers the product complete and is transitioning it to community stewardship rather than continuing active commercial development. Prior to that, in December 2021, the studio shared an online multiplayer prototype available as an opt-in Steam beta branch. However, this was explicitly described as a prototype for internal testing — and no follow-up announcement ever confirmed it was completed or released as a finished feature. Given that the open source announcement came four months later with no mention of multiplayer, the prototype was most likely shelved. The only DLC ever released is the game's soundtrack (April 15, 2022), which is a non-gameplay addition. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The most recent developer news post (February 10, 2023) is a fan-made or community video about ragdoll physics, not a developer update about new content or features. It does not indicate any new content is coming. With the game open-sourced and no content announcements since April 2022, the game is effectively complete. The open source announcement on April 21, 2022 represents the clearest marker of Wolfire concluding their active development of Overgrowth.
