Development Update 24.07.2026
Hello everyone, welcome to this week's progress report. Most of the team is back from their summer vacation and has resumed work.
Level:
A big pack of Yterra ship interior meshes is complete and we are currently working on implementing those into the game. We are also working on detailing the caves of Kerpal with interesting locations and details.
Code:
This week, we started improving the story mode gameplay camera. The goal is for the camera to be smoother, and have better, context sensitive behaviour.
We also noticed that our save system didn't properly support actors in data layers, which resulted in some of them disappearing (e.g. the fish supplies), and have spent some time to resolve that.
On the audio side, we implemented a whole range of new music tracks for various areas in the game, as well as new main menu music. The combat has also received a bunch of new SFX.
In the sandbox, a long-standing bug where user textures could not be loaded in paths with special or non-latin characters has been resolved.
Character:
This week, we have been working on a blacksmith apron type outfit for both male and female characters, as well as a new bikini for the ladies for the sandbox. We also finished a new set of weapon models that we will implement into the game and sandbox next.
Animations:
We have started working on animations for the VIP area of the Umbar party in the Mayor’s house. A few Max x Shey poses have also been blocked out and some of them will surely make it to be animations for the next build.
Design:
We are conceptually working on an updated first-time (game-start) experience including a tutorial, so players have a smoother onboarding experience and better narrative contextualization before being thrown into the world.
On the quest side, we finished up Zumon's dialogues and have started to implement his quest with Max.
Thank you for all your continued support,
-Wild Life Team

Hello everyone 👋 Please make the kissing action available to everyone and preferably make all romantic animations available to all characters This would make the romance in the game much better Thanks for the wonderful game
so what are blacksmiths forging maybe they can smash the crystal like the soulstone in Diablo 2
I really hope the lightning is gonna be good for the sexual mini games. The last time i played the story mode, i got to the first minigame and it had gotten dark, so i couldn't see a thing. If it's night or dark, the huts should have some torches or something to light up the scene. I hope we get to ask people in the story mode to follow us around, and do their minigame at any location later, add in personality traits, where people are either fine or against sex in public, and so on. The sandbox "follow me around" option, is an important feature for the game, it makes the game feel more realistic and alive. I dunno why, but it just feels off if i have to go out of my storymode, to then go into the sandbox for you to be able to make npcs follow.. Honestly, it should be an unlockable feature, to be able to ask our npcs to follow us if we gain their trust. Not only that, but you should make the additional sandbox sex scenes available to unlock in the story mode too.
Thought I was looking at Darktide skins for a sec
My Max can't hold or shoot his energy pistol. Can equip and unequip. Tried every button combo. Please help, these lizard people are crushing me
Dear all, can you confirm the issues I found: loading saved games takes 5min at a size of 14MB, Zumon - no talk possible, old friend found and fight won but no sucess, joined Yanus bath, no sucess, killed Nugget - no sucess, lost caravan solved no sucess, rocket bost not possible, heart of teh party not possible without Zumon sucess, no SMG actions possible in Umbar. Looking forward for your reply...
I’m making an Adults Only Waitress Game… I think I’m doing great until I come here and look at this. Then I’m like “F*******ck… Look what Steve’s doing!” LoL You’re at the top of the mountain Steve. You and your team are all by yourself up there. Leading the way.
It would be good to maybe make some orgy scenes with maya, to... hmm... embrace her feminine side or something ^,^
Oh hey look! Turaga Matau's staff! Why... isn't it green?
Rahhh Bionicle mentioned 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥👂✋WHO THE FUCK ARE GREAT BEINGS🗿🗿🗿
For the Emperor 😍👍
Will we see a update on the squirting? Like a improvement on the animation? Or the flow of it leaving. It looks like a gif in between their legs. Seems very outdated with the rest of the game
Op
Brotherr. You had me at non-latin characters
A tutorial might help, especially as the combat can be tricky (I've certainly said so). New weapons and cave and ship intereior always appreciated. But less outfits for characters like Maya and Shey, as some maya based characters have little nothing, the guys needs some more and hte kerpali males are seveerally lacking, the lady kerpali have almost nothing. And slowly some combos for sex scenes get updated and new scenes
I am a blacksmith, primarily I make knives. Aprons and gloves look really good. You'd never catch me forging in bare feet though.
Luckily there's shoes that the characters have that could be mixed with the outfit.
It's good that the women are getting a new bikini, but can the men get more swimsuit options too? They really only have one right now.
Actually could some of the female humans who are lacking outfits get them, and can the Kerpali start getting outfits especially the lady ones?
Hope you all enjoyed your summer vacation 😎☀️ Is there a chance to get a few human-group animations for sandbox in the next build? (such as Max-Ilja-Maya / Ilja-Ilja-Maya ect…)
For the... Emperor?.. I guess?..
I immediatly thought the same :)
Wow awesome! Would there be Youtube vids on Wild Life Tutorial 101 for new players as well as voice acted by game's main protagonists Max & Maya?
