Of course adding gameplay would not make the game less attractive to customers.So why would adding gameplay and/or story make them compete with more. Right now all this game is is a collection of 3d animations. And there are many, many sources for 3d hentai animations out there.
Because the vast majority are like the person I replied to. They don't care about all that other stuff, they only care about what they can get their rocks off to. You offer your patreons what they want, and for the majority it's something they can masturbate to.And if they are working on story and gameplay behind the scenes, why not show that to the public? Let people know what they are really working on. Let people try it out and experience it. Surely they would have done something with the feedback they got from their last "gameplay" build?
The estimated completion time is roughly 2 years from now as he said in a post. Which is still pretty good given they just got an alright sized team. Again, most games that are of this caliber take anywhere from 2-4 years with twice the manpower they have or more. So our expectations shouldn't be like they're some company with hundreds of millions of dollars and scores of devs at their fingertips.Like I said above, they have only released builds that serve as animation galleries, and nothing more. I know they have much more planned for this game. Steve has said so multiple times on their streams. But at the (perceived) pace they are going at right now, they won't get to that point in less than a decade of time.
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.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.
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.And part of their making it this far is catering to their majority... which don't care about questing or story.
Umm... yes. That was pretty much the argument I was trying (obviously unsuccessfully) to makeSorry 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.
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?My point: Story and porn dont really go well together.
You're giving me hope. Let's see if it'll work out.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.
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.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.
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.Umm... yes. That was pretty much the argument I was trying (obviously unsuccessfully) to make

That is very true. Probably the biggest threat they face.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.
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.And probably the cause why they still dont have real four leggers in there like they showcased at the very beginning.
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 whatsoeverAre you saying that the story of this game is unmatched? Because that's just plain wrong.
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.They have said that there won't be any bestiality in the game because of Patreon IIRC.

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.Nono, I meant that what the 80% care about is unmatched, which is the sex scenes, animations and model design.

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...
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.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.
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...).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.

I'm surprised you even talk about H games with your friends at all. As far as I'm aware, no one in my real life has any idea about this life I'm living.all my friends are either embarassed or at least uncomfortable when I try to tell them about WildLife.
