If they have a game with cool story and great survival mechanics then they are competing on the market with literally dozens of games. From Conan to Ark to Subnautica to... whatever. Dozens. And lets be honest they cant. Those are heavyweights with big teams behind them and a MUCH bigger market. Because the adult theme shrinks their potential market enormously.
Sorry but you have no idea about anything if you believe people talk about porn games as casual as they do with normal games like CoD, LoL, Minecraft or Overwatch. Buttloads of people would rather never fap again before they would have to admit that they are into porn games. This goes both for talking about it irl and on the internet.

That alone makes it extremely difficult to sell that stuff or make it just as normaly accepted as the "mainstream" games. No matter how big the budget and team is behind those games...it won't be an amazing success in europe or the US.

And part of their making it this far is catering to their majority... which don't care about questing or story.
Lets be honest: EVERY publisher of gaming software caters to the majority of their customer base. EA would not drown us in brain dead ego shooters if that would not be the case.

Umm... yes. That was pretty much the argument I was trying (obviously unsuccessfully) to make ;)
So it makes more sense to invest their limited resources into the stuff the majority of their userbase probably wants.

My point: Story and porn dont really go well together.
In regular porn, I agree. Story is almost always not needed. But even in regular porn, having some setting, some context can make it more enjoyable. Why do you think we have genres like stepmother/sister?

But we are talking about a porn game here. And in the state it is in now, I would not consider Wild Life a game. That is what I was getting at. It needs something in addition to the porn. Gameplay, story, whatever. Something to give it context. Something to make it an actual game and not just a gallery.

Not fair to judge the work of 2 people and I assume some outsourced work from the previous years to what they will be doing with all the extra talent that now works for them. Nothing ever looks pretty when you first start it and very few actually make it to the point they have.
You're giving me hope. Let's see if it'll work out.

What @Porn_Jesus was referring to is that you were saying that Wild Life would be "competing" with mainstream games if they would add gameplay. Which I think is not how that works. Like I said. Porn games are and will always be a niche. Something you don't talk about in the same conversation as Conan, Ark, and Subnautica, the games you compared it to. At least not outside of environments like this forum.

Anyway, they will be successful if they stick to what the majority wants and if Patreon can calm down with their rule changing policy to not make life even more difficult for nsfw creators.

Its sex game so I dont think game needs super in depth lore and story but there should be something more then that you approach something and have an intercourse. Story should be just guideline of players choice that begins with choice of gender and customization and continues with choices in open world and explorations. Maybe some core mechanics of how to achieve sex scene for example by persuasion, gold, defeat or hunt/catch(female) if you play male character. Specifically for Maya(daughter of tribe leader) I see good story that you offer to save that tribe from some inevitable disaster if you can take daughter of tribe leader as price.

That is very true. Probably the biggest threat they face.
If those self righteous holier-then-though a****** gain any more influence on Patreon they might very easily end up without support. Their furry stuff is probably already on the cutting edge of what Patreon accepts. And probably the cause why they still dont have real four leggers in there like they showcased at the very beginning.

They have said that there won't be any bestiality in the game because of Patreon IIRC. But which "four legger" are you talking about that they showcased? Do you mean the panther? That one was anthropomorphised just like the non-humans in the current build are. Speaking of which, it was never clear why that panther hasn't been reintroduced, or why it even was removed in the first place.

Are you saying that the story of this game is unmatched? Because that's just plain wrong.
Nono, I meant that what the 80% care about is unmatched, which is the sex scenes, animations and model design. It's just beautiful. I thought thats obvious since there is no story whatsoever :)

I have no clue how they would actually integrate the sex scenes into a real, story-driven game. Maybe they can do it, I certainly hope so. In the meantime, I think it's already enjoyable what they produced...

Love the fact that some ones making a game that requires a good system. The game on max settings look AMAZING!!! I've only bought two game series Girlvania and X-Moon. Graphics are on par with Girlvania but wtih B/G content. Keep it up! Will buy full release easily.

You are right, the panther was two legged, too. I kind of remembered him as a real panther and thought he was removed because of that.
Now its a good question why they removed him.

They made a few design decisions I dont get, anyway. Like the new girl they introduced this build. She is a human girl like the others. They just made her a bit taller so now they have to do all the animations specifically for her. What a waste of resources.
A complete set of new animations would be better used for a uniquely new character.

I agree that the animations and models are very good. In terms of animation, perhaps Fap Life may come close, but we're talking about a very early development game from someone that's primarily an animator here.

They do at least have plans for a story. I know that much. Once I watched part of one of Steve's streams, and he was talking about his plans and the story and all that. At the time it sounded very ambitious. I was confident that they would not ever realize his dreams for this game. I still don't have a lot of hope, but at least the game is not showing signs of dying yet. Something not a lot of H games can say so far (in terms of time) into the development.

I don't think it's a waste of resources entirely. You can think of her as any other new character. Like the furry critters, she caters to a certain niche. Some people like to fantasize about sex with a powerful woman. I'm personally not actively looking for that kind of stuff, but at the same time I can appreciate her addition.

Absolutley. In fact, all my friends are either embarassed or at least uncomfortable when I try to tell them about WildLife. The only one open to it is one of my friends who played Cobra Mission back in the days (yeah damn we're old...).

And I honestly could not describe what I wanted a game to be like. I guess Mass Effect with really really good sex scenes would be awesome. But how much would that be of the game? 1%? Quite unrealistic.

Or maybe if they sold their tech to AAA software forges and in every game where there is sex, there really is sex. *Sigh* What a sight that would be...

Imo the worst decision they made yet for new characters is that chubby ugly guy. While it's not forbidden to be overweight at all i would feel better if such content can be toggled off if it's about sex and walking around half naked. Japan loves their "ugly guy fucks beautiful woman" genre (no idea what the correct name for that fetish is) but afaik the dev team isn't full japanese.^^

The devs already offer a buttload of customization for every character, surely being able to make them optional later with either an option to deactivate said content or giving a very obvious warning isn't that much to ask for. Ofc the same can be a thing for the anthro NPCs (or playing as one if every character gets their own storyline) but then i have to wonder why people play a game called Wild Life and not just another 3D game with 100% humans.

While I agree with you, I'm not surprised a feature to toggle him off is not in the game yet. And I don't expect it to be implemented on the foreseeable future. Every single character they have made is currently in the game, and none of them can be excluded. I don't see them making an exception for the walking pudding.

I'm sure some people are into that sort of stuff, but like you I am not. Mayb eSteve himself is into it. Otherwise I imagine it would be pretty difficult to have to model and animate it.

I have no idea. Maybe it's a problem with DirectX or something? I'm not quite sure. What caused the error? What are your specs? Are you able to play other Unreal games?
