Unreal Engine Wild Life [Patreon 2024.08.22] [Adeptus Steve]
Okay, haven't checked back in a few months. Here's my impressions of the new build.
The new area looks nice, needs some polish but I'd be okay with how it looks right now + all of the environmental structures filled with placeholder art. Populate the area with NPCs and let me visit and fuck them and you have me sold.
The combat, I have some thoughts on that. I'm extremely happy that the old janky system was thrown out. It was for everyone's benefit.
But what they replaced it with is an.. odd choice? Not an unwelcome one, but it's kind of odd.
Listen, I'll be the first to say it. I love Metal Gear Rising. It's one of the best actions games ever made as is most Platinum games. But Metal Gear Rising is a very specific game to fighting giant robots and throwing around cyborg mercenaries like toy soldiers. Which is why I was kind of surprised to see its combat in a game about spears, furries, and tribes of natives.
If you ask me what kind of combat system the game *should* have, you'll get my reply I made almost a year ago that I don't think the game should have much of any combat, it's primarily a porn game first and foremost. I say this because MGR's combat, while sublime, has the issue where you have to specifically tune every attack frame of every NPC to the parry windows of your character down to the millisecond for it to feel really good. Add in potentially dozens of NPCs, all of which will have attacks and parry windows, and you have a ton of work on your hands.
But I digress, amazing if he pulls it off, but I can only picture the amount of time it would take to do it. Which is why, again, I would almost prefer that he scraps the idea of having such an ambitious combat system and just give the 'good enough' option that feels good, is simple, and makes it easy to traverse from place to place fucking NPCs. Only because thats the actual reason 99% of people will be playing it.

I believe it is the founders first (game) project, but some of the management are supposed to be experienced from larger studios .
That quote was purely referring to the amount of money expected from the kickstarter campaign from their QnA about expectations. They saw how much FOW got and expected to replicate that.
I've tested the latest demo (from here and official from steam), across several machines. They have ranged from old GTX660 with 2GB vRam and up, and R9 275X and up, across Win7, Win10, Win11. It runs stable on all nVidia based cards, poorly usually for the quality, but stable. But ATI/AMD, I'd love to hear what GPU config (driver ver and OS) you have that can run it stable from both sandbox (that includes flying around as Maya forcing rapid terrain/texture loads) and demo mode for more than 15 minutes without issues. Best I can get is from my RX570 with 8GB vram, not flying, in sandbox, is about 10 minutes before it pukes with out of vram errors or simple CTD. Thats on latest feature build of Win10 and latest AMD drivers on Ryzen based system.
What annoys me is how arrogant they are with ignoring stability and playability complaints, every dev rig is nvidia only (as per their QnA), and any planned tech if implemented will also only be the likes of DLSS, completely ignore open (and reportly easier to implement) cross platform tech like FidelityFX Super Res (also in their QnA).
I'm no AMD fanboy, I got more nvidia based stuff than AMD, but I expect a dev to not be some blatant about it.
/end rant.
Okay... is it just me or was there no mosaic blur before? Not only that I cannot posess other characters it seems... do we really need to pay to be able to see any type of nudity? Just wondering... If anyone has a fix besides jumping through a pay wall please let me know...

I'd say it's the other way around. It's all furry and vanilla. None of the Kerpali have animal characteristics. They're all humans with animal heads and/or tails tacked on. Which is understandable since they want to market it on Steam.Its all ... Beastiallity... and normal
This goes back to the unfocusedness of the concept.
I assume the dev actually wants to make an action game but just didn't get the funds for it, so he made a bunch of furries believe he's going to make a porn game and slowly turns it over into an action shooter with occasional sex scenes.
Nah, I didnt even post any specific numbers, screenshots, etc.
I've done it in the past, and people just tell me that I am wrong, and that this game is top Unreal Engine performance and that even most AAA UE games arent better optimized.
Opinionated nonsense, basically. And the thing is, you cant actually argue against it, because the moment you do the mods will step in and award infraction points and bans to everyone.
Anyway, what you said about the new map is true.
Not only that, but you'll notice that when you start flying high in the sky, to move from one area to another, somewhere in between areas there are massive framedrops, we're talking from 60 all the way down to 25 FPS with constant spikes. And when this happens, the GPU usage is way less than 50% so you know its the game and not the GPU which is struggling. CPU usage is also quite low as well, memory hardly loaded (both VRAM and system RAM), so conclusion, the hardware is not the problem.
I dont know if its a matter of displaying a large part of the map all at the same time, or simply that its constantly loading/unloading game files, but for some reason the game cannot handle it and freaks out.
I like your idea about a new sandbox area, one that makes sense. Its gotten pretty annoying that the game constantly wants to load that pointless crash site area over and over again, even though I go to the warpstone and select to teleport to the Village, and its all in Sandbox mode! Not New Game.
Lastly, I hardly ever used the showroom in the past, but since you mentioned it, I think I'll just use that from now on, at least to check out new poses and sex animations.
As it stands, for me the game is trying to be things that it will probably never be good at. Combat? Story? Come on. There are countless of games out there that will do these things way better. We all know what we're here for.
#2 --> Forget about it, that laptop will struggle in Wild Life, even though it does seem capable of light gaming, can probably handle Fortnite, LoL, etc, I wouldnt even bother with it for WL.
Wow, 3070 and still having performance issues? Thats pretty insane.
Anyway, I understand what you're saying, I've seen worse as well, but the thing is, this is a very well funded game. Just go check out how much money they get every month for its development. Its inexcusable imo.
Also following up from my previous post, I have to note something that I find strange. It seems the story mode is going to star Max and maybe rotate between characters. But why Max specifically? This is probably a gigantic marketing mistake. My first exposure to this game wasn't the Sci-fi storyline or even the porn, it was Maya and her flying. I only found out later that it was a porn game after I had seen videos of Maya flying around and how smoothly she transitioned from one to another.
Doesn't help that Max is better known as 'that twink with the tiniest dick in the game'. So even if it has been made this way to ward off the 'female protagonist' tag, it's going to disappoint a lot of people who play these games to be the big-dicked gigachad that Max clearly is not.
Maybe that's weird but it seems Maya has always been the face of the game and should stay that way, sci-fi storyline that most people will click through be damned.

My game seems to be so heavily censored that i can't figure out what is going on. In the Options the censorship is set to medium and can't be changed. Is there something i miss? I havn't played this game before.
thanks in advance
thanks in advance
Guys, I'm curious. This game lets the player choose to be a male or female protagonist right? and can this be like one guy with a bunch of harems? I mean only our protagonist sex and can avoid another scene. The last is how overall of this game in your guy's opinion. Thank you all of you guys for devoting your time answering my question.
guys i have this new suddenly error, that said i lack the virtual memory! i never had these problem with wild life, why now?
hey man where do you get the shell? im looking at the beach and never get one.

Kickstarter? So.... Looking at how much the creator got on Patreon since this got first posted on this site... And it already up on steam to draw attention... and yet, we have people that go around and bitch about how FOW did raise 2 mill for Subverse? Really? How the f is wild life in such as sad state still?

If Wild Life had NO COVERAGE since it first was posted here in Jul 2017... it wouldn't raised the cash and support it have over the years. In regard of funding it surpassed Subverse's kickstarter by far. If you google for wild life you sure as hell get more than WWF with sad pandas...
Then google studio fow or subverse... its just not the same dude. FOW picked the easy route, WL might be in a sad state, but that doesnt mean subverse is in a happy state either. Just compare the ratings here on F95 and youll see. Then consider the game wild life wants to be and what game subverse is. They are not even comparable. So dont even try.

Picked the easy route? How? I didn't say Subverse is in a happy state, but for what they delivered so far from their kickstarter, Vs what wild life delivered so far from the years of funding it had. Subverse done better so far, yet get shit at all the time due to the "2 million" they raised on kickstarter. Of since then Wild Life had more in patreon income same time spawn. And now starting a kickstarter as well.
