Does the same failure happen when you choose menu the sex option stays camera standing without doing anything? or is it my computer?

lmao at all this whining.
when will you people understand nothing will ever change when they get so much money for this crap?
why should someone even consider to change something? it's the same with every other project generating so much money.
eeeh wait... some of you still think they do this out of love for the community, that some people can play a nice game with nice mechanics and story?
wake the fuck up!

Technically in the grand scheme of things, they aren't making that much money. It is just a lot of money for a pornographic title and its a lot of money for those of us not making that kind of cash each month.
Considering that in Germany the average salary for a programmer, is 50,000 Euros (Link =
Very few people build games for the love of the community. Not sure what this argument has to do with anything. Plus, the developers of Wild Life only "tolerates" this community, but doesn't actually "love" it.

), which is roughly 60,000 USD per year, or per month it is $5,000. Not sure how many staff they have, but if they had 15 staff, that would be 75,000 USD per month. Then they'd also have to pay for their lease, electricity costs, occasional computer breakdown, entertainment/food for off-time, and computer upgrades. So the actual amount in the "green" isn't as much as you may think. Very few people build games for the love of the community. Not sure what this argument has to do with anything.

But it's a safe and steady income. On the plus side, this means that they can experiment but on the other hand, this also means they don't necessarily need to get shit done on time. They've picked up, dropped, picked up again and then discarded several things. The combat has gone nowhere, the new movement system they wanted to implement has gone nowhere, the lighting is still subpar, several iterations on how sex should work but the majority of the animations still use the old system, the cinematic cam uses the default game settings (for example, brightness and saturation settings don't apply to the cam), all the locations are unfinished. In the latest update, they've even switched the protagonists around, making Max instead of Maya the PC, it seems they can't even decide on that front, much less on the story in general.
The reality check is that this is first and foremost porn. I don't know what magnum opus they're trying to envision there but to be fair, I don't think the devs do, either.

Not sure actually how "safe and steady" the income is. The more "woke" the US gets (the HQ of Paypal is there and is I think the primary system used by Patreon), the more likely Paypal/Patreon will shut down any pornographic creators. Then what? Most creators that go to SubscribeStar make a fraction of what they used to make on Patreon before patreon shut down their stuff. So, if Paypal did shut down AdeptusSteve's patreon, would they actually be able to generate enough funds to keep the company afloat? After all, no one expected Tumblr to crack down on Pornography, until they did.
Otherwise totally agree with you. The gameplay aspects are going nowhere and they can't seem to decide what kind of RPG it will be (ie TPS RPG, Tribal-Era RPG, Dark-Souls Esque RPG, RPG with restrictive porn, Porn with restrictive RPG, etc...). Even the porn, has some really antiquated animations in it; like the Minotaur throne animations, that aren't really good and has the Minotaur sitting in midair.
I dunno what I think of Max, other than he is pretty cocksure, despite having nothing really to be cocksure about. I'm not really a fan of Maya either, because I'm not into the "tribal" females, and she is quite tribal looking. Plus she has crushed butt and boobs, which is a symptom of the non-universal meshes.
Yeah I don't think they know what they want either. The porn is the biggest selling point, but it does seem to be taking a backburner now to the other aspects.

Patreon going nuclear on porn is always a possibility, yes. But I was comparing the steady income to the regular development cycle, where you are given a certain amount of funds and are expected to deliver something that returns the investment and then some in a certain timespan. What they're currently doing with all those experiments is more akin to the conceptual phase where devs try out some rough ideas and decide to go for that which looks the most promising.
Maya doesn't have crushed boobs, it's just that they're going for a more petite build for her. Afaik Maya was the OG playable character so all the other females with bigger boobs came later. It's just that the morphs are very limited in the game so moving the boob slider around doesn't do much in Maya's case and they didn't want to have character customization in the first place because everything is their precious donut steel OC or something along those lines.
They should focus more on refining what's already there. The minotaur and rhino for example look hideous, their proportions are off and it shows when you look at their walking animations. I mean, they have the biggest dicks in the game but since the character model are roughly as wide as they are tall, their dicks look like pencil dicks.
I spend 90% of my time flying because the flying mechanic and animations are cool, sex animations are really good but they get boring quickly...without context they are shallow, passionless interactions. I supported this game for a couple of years but it's a slow development cycle and I ran out of patience. The world they are creating has so much potential and a storyline with questing will bring it alive. I hope it works for Steve and his team, it's been a labour of love...or maybe just lust!!
Yeah, the flying is decent, if you play as Maya. I prefer playing as Serenia, so its only kinda meh; would be better if in sandbox mode all females could have wings, but eh.
The sex animations get boring because the loops lack variation. If the facial features and vocalizations were made to be independent and maybe some of the features of the poser system was added to it, then loops would have a lot more variation and potential. But as it is, it at least appeals to a larger group of people.
Giving context to sex doesn't need to be done with quest systems, or complex stories. Something simple, akin to what is in porn already, is usually sufficient. Anything more than that, and the context becomes cumbersome, and requires the player to jump through hoops to get the good stuff. If some players want that, well there is the story mode for that, but I for one, don't care for that and am happy playing the Sandbox.
Slow development cycle is quite the understatement. Its nice that they have so many sex animations, but I've seen 2 person teams develop gameplay systems faster than this. True they weren't doing any complex animations, but making good gameplay, narratives and making your choices feel meaningful, they certainly got done faster.
Many worlds have lots of potential. We shall see what they do with it.

Indeed, there are a couple of 3D titles on here developed by only one guy that show more promise at least in terms of the story/narrative and some gameplay mechanics. Wild Life have a half decent sized team and still the only really good thing about this game is the quality of the sex animations and some of the physics implemented.
Nothing else shown so far gives me any confidence at all that one day this could be a fully fledged and enjoyable RPG at least not without another decade of development and by then it won't even matter because everything will be outdated.
Look I hope they prove me wrong, we all want a really good adult RPG we can sink our teeth into but as each build gets released the more sceptical I am that this will be the one.

Also consider, that you have to pay a shitload of taxes for your crowdfunded income...
Pocahontas in space isn't that exciting to me tbh. They're also talking in very broad terms and there's always the option to ditch this vision for the next, which they have already done in the past. I'm not a huge fan of stories in porn games because they mostly suck donkey balls considering they inevitably need to lead to sex whether it makes sense or not. There's a few exceptions but in those cases the porn plays a very minor role. Also splitting the game into Human x Human only and having a patreon exclusive addon for all the Kerpali stuff seems like a bad idea to me. I might've actually bought the game when it releases but I'm not willing to pay two times just to get all the content, no thanks kind sir.
i was hoping they'd go the survival game route and let you create your own scenarios. Kidnap people, bang them, gather supplies, build a base, fend off attackers, capture them, rinse repeat.
I get 10 fps with all settings in low, i have an AMD ryzen 5 3400g with radeon vega graphics 3.7 GHz. Have i need to do extra steps or is just the pc?
Most likely the pc, radeon vega graphics are not good enough for this game, probably need a dedicated graphics card for it.
How do I get this to work in VR is there any tutorial or extra steps required. I have an oculus quest 2 connected through Virtual Desktop. I added the game to Steam VR, but when I run the game I don't see anything in my headset

He is using an iGPU(Vega) that came bundled with his Ryzen 5 3400g... not the fault of AMD... 10-20fps is what he is gonna get.
FYI_ UE4 games run just fine on AMD dedicated GPUs
