Overgrowth Alpha 81

Here is what is new in Overgrowth in the 81st weekly alpha. If you are confused what a weekly alpha is, or even what Overgrowth is, please read our fancy FAQ. Basically, we are developing a massive video game from the ground up -- we are able to do this completely independently by accepting preorders for the game before it's done!

Here are a few highlights from the source repository:

• Testing new asset distribution method
• Added navigation mesh pathfinding
• Navigation mesh saving and loading
• Added more ambient occlusion control
• Safer .dds conversion using intermediate temp file
• More control over how mipmaps use alpha information
• Added error message when loading non-power-of-two textures
• Added distance-based alpha scaling for plants
• Controls separated from character logic for AI
• Added AI character who follows player character
