This game has the best adult animations I've seen anywhere. I don't know why they need to make it an RPG. Just make it a sandbox or simulator (I realize that's what it is in its current state). I'm sick of all these games trying to do more than they need to. If I want to play a good RPG I'm not going to search for adult projects on patreon. And they're almost never as good as a full fledged RPG. They always feel like half assed mechanics thrown in. It's really unnecessary.
This is not to slam Wild Life. Again these are the best animations I've seen. I'd rather them add to that and add more customization options. Maybe give the characters AI and lots more dialogue. But I don't see this becoming a full open world RPG. Not one I'd play at least.
Because the devs want this project to be more than what it is. It's largely the devs and a small portion of the overall fanbase who wants this to be more of an RPG with combat and such. Everyone else wants them to focus on the adult stuff. If they were smart, they'd have this just be their adult game. Nothing but the sex stuff, use it as their money maker (once it's no longer patron funded or something) and use that money to develop the game they actually want to make. Rather than struggling along with mediocre updates, that please neither side.
And I absolutely get it too, I'm a dev of almost 9 years now. I've worked on stuff before where, like, deep down you know exactly what it is. But you're not content with that so you cram crap in there that doesn't belong, because you want it to be something else so desperately. Happens on the majority of projects. But ultimately, it won't change anything, and the product as is, suffers for it.
Like IMO, a porn game should require minimal input (but still input it's a game after all, not a movie) as the vast majority of your player base is gonna be playing one-handed. You don't want your audience having to juggle a hard-on and your combat system because one of those things requires two hands and a LOT more brain power than a person is gonna have at *that* given time.
Should just focus this as a sex game, finish it, made it open for modders to support it ( so, free content generation basically) and actually sell it. Then use money made from that to put towards their dream RPG that they clearly really want to work on. Win-win then.
