    I created a KAG Group for Evolve: https://www.evolvehq.com/groups/574

    Dont know what Evolve is? Rock Paper Shotgun gives a good little blurb here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/11/darwinian-overlay-evolve-enters-open-beta/

    It just hit open beta and is getting better and better all the time. They are even working on integrating steam chat into it.

    Everyone feel free to post your usernames in here so others can add you if they want. Mine is Noburu of course.

    P.S. Geti or MM if you read this make an offical KAG group :D

    It has a lot of amazing stuff, it really does. Currently the overlay doesn't work in KAG (Aww), this is a problem that I'm not sure who has to fix, but I've mentioned it on their forums, however I don't think they deal with that, there are quite a few games that just don't work though due to whatever.

    Some features to look out for:
    Hamachi replacement. (Whatever you call it :x )
    Fraps replacement. (Video recording)
    Passthrough keys so that you could use either of these anyway!
    VoIP
    Pidgin replacement (Attach all your AIM,MSN, Yahoo, XMPP, etc accounts and chat with friends ingame!!!)
    Party system
    Social network (if you're into that, works similar to facebook with walls and likes and such)
    Twitter integration (so you can make sure everyone knows how much you like justin bieber)
    Badges (as seen in some people's signatures)
    Steam account linking, for awards and such (eventually also steam chat)
    Playtime tracking (So you can brag about how much you play)
    Eventually we might see achievements for games (Not sure who would be setting these up, if community done would be p.cool)

    Overall , it's p.cool I guess.

    e: Oh, it also shows your library off (and ofc you can choose to only show friends, etc), I believe it even detects -cough- pirated -cough- games to show off to your doods.

    Hey guys! I'm one of the devs / founders of Evolve. Glad to hear you guys are liking it so far. Sorry that KAG isn't working with the overlay currently. We'll investigate in a bit and get back to you about why that is.

    Don't hesitate to ask any questions or let us know if you're having problems! We're still small enough that we actively try talk about Evolve with as many of our users as possible.

    Cheers!

    I haven't even signed up, and I already think I love Evolve. In fact this is the first I've even heard of it. Mamu, you are automatically within my inner circle, for your friendly disposition, and you sheer lovelyness. I shall join the site immediately. :D

    For some reason, I think you are phony. Could you please show me credentials/ some kind of record that this is true? It's not like it matters tat much, but better safe than sorry.

    Anyways, if you really are, that is a little slice of Heaven you have there. Keep up the good work!

    Haha, well, that's reasonable. It is the internet and I could be anyone. As could you. :) Feel free to stop by the main #Evolve group on Evolve using your client and I'll happily send you a message from my Evolve account.

    Ok, just making sure. I didn't want a random coming in here, taking credit of a very well made program.

    I'll confess it's a bit odd that I just registered and dropped in, but we usually try to whenever we see a site generating a fair bit of traffic in the referral logs.

    So we took a look at the overlay in KAG. It is unfortunately still broken (which is why it's disabled). The UI appears to be a rather bland gray box instead of the normal windows when interacting on the overlay in game. The game is OpenGL, though, so our tech ought to support it just fine once we figure out what's going wrong. We're looking in to some issues with Minecraft and a few other OpenGL games in the near future, so hopefully the overlay is something we'll be able to enable before too long.

    So I understand that the overlay doesn't work with KAG yet, but when I check "Game Overlay" in preferences, it processes for a little bit and then says "Status: An error occurred while installing the feature."

    Is that supposed to happen? xP

    Sounds like something is messing up. Would you be willing to open a new discussion here? http://support.evolvehq.com/ -- Our lead client developer will probably ask you for some logs and try sort out what's happening so we can get it fixed. Sorry about this!
