Unreal Engine Wild Life [2024.10.17 Full] [Adeptus Steve]
I do wonder if sandbox is going to get the ''procedural content generation"-tool which they teased in the weekly update, to paint forest/flora for example. Also if we are getting proper nanite supporting trees (I believe current ones doesn't support the feature but I've no idea).
Regardless would be nice to hear from the devs what is their timeline to stabilize the current model/lod/texture bugging to lower quality issue. Are these mostly older assets which doesn't work well in the new updated engine and solved eventually with new models/textures or is this just a bug which will get fixed eventually?
The custom hud/UI elements for sandbox sounds absolutely great. I've now done this by sticking camera follower block and attached PNG on it and stick it on lower part of the screen and always follow it and when you talk to NPC it changes the PNG to proper NPC-PNG file and sets it visible and text box is following the PNG.

If you have trouble running the latest UE5 builds of Wild Life on your PC,
1. Create a separate shortcut of the .exe
2. Right click the shortcut and select "properties"
3. add -dx11 onto the end of the target
4. play the game through the shortcut
I have a GTX 1060 3gb and the performance gains on ultra settings (even with Lumen lighting and virtual shadow mapping) are insane. My hope for running this on my ancient build has been restored!

Well it's like nobody cares, they could help, but they don't. I saw them talking about Reshade and Steve's parameter, I couldn't find where it's been posted. The texture are too ugly, and it's really annoying
Not only weak cards but i've pretty high end RTX card which was struggling with the textures/lods bugging out and setting themselves on super low. Changing to DX11 removed this bug and lumen seems to work to some degree. I do wonder what one loses with dx12->11 change. Some kind of shadow/reflection/volumetric fidelity for sure but what. Regardless, recommended to use for everyone at this point who struggles with the points above tbh. Great tip!

Jesus, I thought we learned our lesson with the Tails of Azeroth/Chronicles of Alexzstrasa games.
What's with 3D porn game developers and making ridicously over sized worldmaps without sensible ways to traverse it?
Last time I played this, at least the map was sensibly sized (when you crash in a plane and go to a village).
It's NOT fun running from one point of interest to another taking +1 minute between. It feels like its obligatory to play Maya since her flight is the only thing that makes this insanely sized map bearable.

the map isn't that big - esp. not compared to the 'old maya map' (the one with the oasis and the tribal village). and since the game has fast travel, you probably don't have to play as maya in the final release (if there will ever be one).
also the game has a fighting system; so there will most likely be areas inbetween the POIs, where you can 'do stuff' (fight, loot, side quests and so on). it's not just a matter of 3D porn games, but with games in general: ranging from 2D porn classics like 'strive for power' to non porn classics like 'skyrim'.
porn games are first and foremost games. if a minute of walking is too much for you and you just wanna wank, you probably should just watch porn movies - not play porn games. (and even in most porn movies you usually have to skip the first 5-15 minutes to get to the actual action.)

Objectively, as of right now its a model viewer that has been in the works for more than 5 years. It is was, and still is, a small team so progress is always going to be slow. There aren't any "systems" in place to build a game off of. Health bars, giant featureless map, and basic inventory screen isn't a foundation. Its a starting point. Those are things that are learned early on with UE5, but you start with those basics then build off of them. All the effort has gone into the actors, the animations, and physics interactions therein. No amount of trees and bushes procedurally generated in a forest changes the fact that there isn't interaction with the game world. Just window dressing.
So what can anyone conclude other than its currently just a model poser, detailed as it may be.
I can't know what the patreon supporters think, but they haven't pulled funding so I'm forced to assume they're on board.
update on the map random events, credit system (wip) start instructions and map improvements
Will this game ever Release? It's making too much money already.
What a game makes is irrelevant to scope and release.
It makes too much in your opinion, but I'd wager the people working on it don't see it that way as there are plenty of employees that like getting paid for their work. Not like it's one or two devs taking home that money like the vast majority of games here for shoddy work, they have a team well over a dozen people and if you think what they earn a month is making them filthy rich, then you don't understand how business works and all the expenses that come with it.
Just check back in once or twice a year for progress until it eventually releases, not like you were ever gonna pay for it anyways, so its not really worth getting worked up over.

it's a lot more than just a model viewer though, it's more like a playable game engine with a shit ton of animated actions
