Patreon Development Update 28.10.2022
Hey everyone,
Time for a new dev update.
Now that the last UE4 release is done, we are moving forward with the UE5 update and all that comes along with that. Level department is already cleaning up and removing old deprecated levels and assets and code is preparing all areas for the move. It will be a long road ahead of us but we are looking forward to the end result.
Level: Level is busy starting the cleanup process for our maps and assets. As mentioned in a previous post, this means that we are removing the Demo-level from the game so the next release will no longer feature that map. Additionally we are continuing to polish the Umbar houses.
Code: Preparing the move to UE5.
Character: The Blackwing model is finished and it looks mighty! We started the rigging process for the Gobbler creature so it will be reaching the animation department early next week. We are also happy to announce that we have begun to update old hairstyles with the help of an amazingly skilled freelancer.
Animations: Something very exciting happened this week, we had our first Mocap recording session with the talented team over at OnPoint studios. The goal was to get several animations for NPC routine activities, idles and some extra spice - sexy dances. In the coming weeks we will need to process this data to pick the best parts to clean up and transfer to our character rigs.
Design: Our designers focussed this week on reviewing our combat system designs with the additional help of an external consultant.
That's it for now, thanks for all your awesome support,
-Wild Life Team

Have just joined but cant seem to download game any advice please
There is two ways to download the game. Check out this quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glxn_1JKk_8
Will there be Apes in the future?
Anyone else experiencing 100% gpu usage even at the lowest setting
Have you guys thought about adding a rasha x maya animation?
It would be so interesting if in the future for a holiday event if content could be added to celebrate the first day of spring. It could be a ritualistic rite of sex party of some sort where maybe certain characters would be sent from all the different tribes and factions to participate and represent their people. It would help to keep the [piece] if you know what I mean.
What does it mean to remove "Demo-level"? Does that mean the Old Wildlife Map will no longer be available in Sandbox?
It means the demo level (fisher village) will no longer be available next build and the old wild life map will be stripped down to just the landscape with updated material and the ocean and sky.
Are there any plans for adding a deer character? Maybe for December?
Hey there, is the discord working? it won't invite despite the connecting and all the info I found on this is a year or two old.
Man this game has the slowest development ever. It's been years now and there's still no actual map that would be finished, only a fraction of quests in a demo level, still unoptimized and very buggy. Will this actually ever become a quality game?
Im so happy to hear that the move to UE5 is happening. This project is penultimate and will push adult gaming forwards leagues
Great quality improvement on the hairstyle, good work like always.
Great stuff, love the creature design
hey but all the people who wrote before me summed up the flattery's that I reserved for you @Wild Life team Just ; you so cool with your update !!! the freelancers are doing a great job !! great for the hair! can't wait to see the positions or the mocap dances !! my final word is Great
So cool designs. I really wish you would update the sex animation with Max x Grok, Max x Rawn, Max x Scrof, Max x Rasha and Max x Vark.
Can't wait to See what the New Engine will do to karras fur
Hopefully it comes with some optimization so the fur doesn't lag things out if you get too close or have too much of it on screen.
things looking and sounding great..
I'm hoping the new engine will have N-vidia's "real hair" scripting available.. looks fantastic on the last TR that used UE5
It's all so fabulous and exciting, I can't wait🤩🤩😍😍
The hair looks amazing. Are you going to remove the demo level completely or does it stay available in the sandbox option?
Amazing work! The monsters look awesome and the new hair remodel is lovely! The freelancer does good work! Mocap now? That's going to be fun and should make the background activities feel more lifelike. Good luck with the UE5 conversion too!
I don't actually know what the UE5 move will bring in terms of changes, but I'm super stoked about everything else going on!
UE5 is just a massively better engine in every way so the fact that they are transitioning over is a huge deal. It gives them the means of increasing the map size, loading higher res textures, assets can have more polys and physics can be more complex.
I'm glad to see the hair finally looks like actual hair. I personally was not a fan of that blocky hair. I hope to see all hairstyles change like this.
