Patreon Development Update 12.05.2023
Hello everyone,
Important: A quick reminder that our original Wild Life discord server has been lost to a hacker attack. To learn more about what happened, please read this public patreon post if you haven't yet. If you are still on the old server we urge you to leave that as it is no longer in our control.
We have created a new community discord server (Wild Life Official) and connected it to our patreon page and are pleased to see how fast it is growing. We are very hopeful it will someday be even greater than the one we lost.
And now on to the classic weekly progress report. Here is what the team worked on this week:
Level: We have been converting our Master Materials to a new architecture and workflow to help with performance and usability.
Finished Warrior Village Blockout, now started working on improving the Pearl Village's landscape.
Code: We switched over to dynamic navigation mesh generation as an experiment. While the previous static navigation mesh works fine, it is very inflexible and generates large amounts of data.
The dynamic generation comes at a slight performance cost and can cause hitches if there are many characters pathfinding, but it will finally allow characters to pathfind around your sandbox scenes!
As part of our work on analytics, we implemented a system that allows the user to upload crash reports. This system uses the standard Unreal Crash Reporter, so the user can decide for each crash whether they want to upload it or not.
Character: We have been making some awesome progress on the outfit front, check out all these WIP models and designs!
Also, started work on Agon, brother of Chakkar and chief of the Warrior Village.
Animations: Janara's snake bite scene for Koodie's Emergency quest is done. Continuing our work on routine animations.
Design:
Our designers have been very busy bees, here is a list of all they touched on this week:
Almost finished the design for the Item system
Continued the design for the combat system (weapons and ammo)
Pearl village side quest design
Managing all the new routine animation data
Maya X Zyke quest and dialogues
Jadeen quest and dialogues for Maya
Barran dialogues for Max and Maya
Started implementing several missing cutscenes from the previous build (Max X Janara minigame, Max X Koodie cutscene)
Thank you for all your continued support,

max is elber
Can someone please tell me who Elber is?
dose any one knows where the bow is at
Does anyone know how to enter edit mode on the new build?? They have some weird key on the screen for edit mode thatI dont have on my keyboard
Yes, it is the TAB key. Left from "Q" :) But i have first to open and close the "Spawn character" (T) menu before i can open the edit mode with the TAB key
Do you know if later, something like tongue or lips customization will be possible ?
any chance for some more outfits for Lala? would love to see more of the Koodie and Maya outfits on the Lala model
Do you know any other great games in development?
well works models things i like a lot game i would like to know future can put more characters Anthropomorphics example dragon or rabbit or rat or bird or deer or deer or crocodile or shark and women can get pregnant breedings ? and a page or an official system where people can create your own models things to put in game paying or free ?
I'd really appreciate an option to split facial hair from hairstyle overall. Like, being able to give Max or Sethro a beard AND dreadlocks. As it is it's either/or.
Yea we really need to implement this asap, its getting ridiculous game-data wise when we want to make combinations of things internally.
just askin when is this one be done bc i really like the outfits
More scenery porn! They're gorgeous! Can I assume there will be a spicy end to Maya's Jadeen quest if we so choose? ;)
Everyone loves risqué Aloy. :D
So proud of the Wild Life team! Great work!
Nice to see the female versions of the themed outfits. Will there be variations that look closer to the other gender? Like women having something like the bulkier tribal outfits the men have, and men with something less covered like the straps in the preview for the women's outfit.
Yea
The picture with new outfit for the women is she a new character? And is both her hair styles gonna be available?
Its an outfit design for Maya. Possibly her main starting game outfit
The two areas as always look fantastic. I can't wait to see them fully developed. Now as for Chakkar's brother; it's nice to see families are being introduced as it adds more history and things to known characters. I'll be curious in general to see how this sibling is and what role he'll play. The outfits are looking good, but what has struck me is the new warrior girl (I assume from the area Agon rules). Very distinct look and like with him, I will keep an eye out to see if she becomes her own character or will just be a npc.

Hello Agon~ 🥰
That Tribal outfit is goated.
the tribal outfit (with the red must be exceptional on Maya) really can't wait to see all this.
