The official open-source codebase (C++, Apache-2.0) of Overgrowth, a commercial third-person action game by Wolfire Games. The code is open while art assets and levels must be purchased separately from Wolfire.

Use cases

  • build and run Overgrowth from source with purchased game data
  • create mods and total conversions for Overgrowth
  • experiment with a real commercial game engine for education
  • contribute code fixes back to the commercial game
  • reuse engine code snippets in other projects

When to choose

  • you own Overgrowth and want to mod or extend it
  • you want to study a production C++ game engine's source
  • you plan a total conversion using your own assets

When to avoid

  • you want a free complete game - assets are commercial
  • you need a general-purpose engine for new projects
  • you expect official support - the repo is community-operated
