Unreal Engine Wild Life [Patreon Build 2024.06.14] [Adeptus Steve]

[WeaponizedAutism]

So it seems development has not improved much since the last time i checked a full year ago. Has the vertical slice already been released or is that another promise they failed to keep? Seems like it has not. It should have been done already early 2021, as can be observed from their posts from mid 2020. it,s even on the roadmap from that period.

I really would like to see this game succeed. But seeing the game has been in development from 2017 and is going nowhere besides a glorified animation viewer i fear the worst. everyone who judges this game with even a shred of objectivity will agree that the current worth of the game does not go beyond 2 hours of fapping until you find out that the game, besides its good visuals is extremely shallow. with no effort at all from the developers to create any depth.

The devs have the money, they have the staff and also an office so why then is it so difficult for them to add substance? is it the comfort of knowing that they only need to add a few animations every now and then to keep the patrion simps trowing cash at them? the more i think about it. the more i realize that could be the reason. i don't like to judge developers that way. but speaking from years of observation on this project. i keep coming to the same conclusion. what other reason could there be?

i fear the worst

Dont do that, just hope for the best. Everything else is beyond your power to influence.

what other reason could there be?

Maybe because gamedev is slow as hell? How would purposefully slowing down production to milk patrons be better than trying to finish the game as fast and efficiently as possible to get the big sales on steam and other platforms and with the even bigger community just move on to wild life 2 or something.

what kind of graphics card do i need

I personally use Nopy, or google drive if someone posts a link.

But if you have a limited download limit plan, you could buy Mega Premium, which would allow downloads of any size. Its just that the free version, is a 5gb cap.

You could in theory use a torrent, but if you seed, then that eats up your download limit.

Definitely use Nopy, but free Mega works too if you're patient:

1. Download and install the MegaSync application.
2. Paste the Mega download link into MegaSync instead of downloading using the browser.
3. MegaSync will download the first 5GB and then stop and ask you to upgrade.
4. Quit MegaSync and wait until the time-out expires; I think it's four or five hours or so.
5. Load up the application again and download the next 5GB.
6. Repeat as necessary.

Or do what I do and use a VPN (Windscribe; there's no other possibility) and reconnect to a different gateway after the first 5GB. That gives you a new IP and resets the download limit. Just quit and relaunch MegaSync and it will continue.

Yes that is one of the reason, they even release update last month because of subverse game pressure. Other reason that i can think of from lookin at this forum is that they are naively think they can make game that complex. Its a whole different idea to make a sandbox game than only a sex game. It is a complicated and a hard process even for many veteran in game industry. They overestimate their ability, and now they have this another problem called feature creep where they keep adding and adding without polishing the basic.

Game can be slow but you can see the difference between a good slow development and hell development cycle. This is the latter. They overestimate themselves in making a very complex game. This kind of game require many veteran developer even AAA studios need to filter things they cant make in the game. You can find a good argument by comment in this forum, I forgot his name, but it is there if you are willing to search for it.

And how would you know that?
I have seen good arguments for both sides on this forum and both have good points but also both sound like little kids and their schoolyard discussions over which dragonball character is stronger.
I dont care too much about that and it makes no sense to talk about it over and over in this place. Whats the point?

 

[Krosos]

The Point is that it will hurt Patreon sooner or later the same as pretty much Kickstarters reliability in Game Development has gone down the drain by many devs who either over estimated themselves on a huge project or it was from the beginning planed as fraud and this continues, every failing project causes damage and a lose of trust.
Especially Projects who are like we have this idea "but we need your help" but present no really huge vertical slice to begin with will have a hard time in the future.
And so far only Projects are really promising that pushed years of work before into the project with their own resources and than suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Very few have the thing to grow a entire project on the run with promises to a huge community of "investors" and finish that complete project scope in a regular shipping timeframe.

People always spell doom and gloom but even obvious scam projects still rake in the cash. Wild Life's patreon has been hovering at about 100k a month for quite some time. Sure, they ain't growing but they're also not dropping in support. I personally do not really care about a story or gameplay all that much, there's already loads of games and other media that scratch that itch but high quality porn games are a rare sight, so from my perspective I'd say fuck all that and just double down on animations, new models, character customization, clothes and environments. But I'm also a jolly software pirate so listening to me might not be the best idea.

The Devs need to upgrade this game to UE 5 engine when it gets a full release. Please make your voices heard!

It'll be seamless for UE 4 projects to be converted to UE 5, according to the developers!

They have early access freely available now on the Epic Games launcher and Github, for everyone!

Now slowly every part of improvement comes together in consistency
Though a Tech Demo is still a clever tech Demo

And if everyone would dev in this space many here wont be happy anymore

You must be registered to see the links

Recommended System Specs (100% Screen Percentage)	Minimum System Specs (50% Screen Percentage)
12-core CPU at 3.4 GHz 64 GB of system RAM GeForce RTX 2080 / AMD Radeon 5700 XT or higher	12-core CPU at 3.4 GHz 32 GB of system RAM GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD RX Vega 64

And you can be freaking sure this is for a 33 ms target

As well as

Nanite is only supported by Nvidia Maxwell generation GPUs and AMD GCN generation GPUs or higher. Make sure you also have the most up to date drivers for your graphics card.

Also for most of the work done here it is very secondary, in terms of the overall Performance Distribution and Balance.

Nanite does not support deformations, so it functions only with static meshes. However, this is more than enough to vastly simplify the pipeline for developing environments.

It is very important for Wild-Life though more than others and still a important peace in the puzzle

 

[ola amigo]

The current quest that are shown disappeared when I entered village, also do I need internet to play this?
I don't understand do how I play this game? I try to remove clothes and they wont just come off while talking to kim, then there is Alissa where in cutscene she asks "What's next?" then the cutscene just drops with no hint what to do or anything? There's a sex scene with Indra and that's it
Like what do I even do in this game? Can't even interact with the NPC Karra the demi tiger woman, same is with every other NPC. Am I missing something?Can't even save progress?

 

[hypocrate]

Can anyone pls give me any walkthrough guide?

 

[bobbrazil]

Someone can tell me what to do in campaign? Jaaden says "Get yourself a proper weapon". Where?

 

[DanThaMan]

This game is very unoptimized.. i get similar frames in this as i do whilst i play Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra settings.. lol.

Ok and what do you think is the overall difference in render complexity ?

if you get above 30 FPS at 2160p you can be happy which is rather 60 in 1080p
this is heavy scene complexity dependent in the showroom you can easily reach 120 at 2160p

and yes you could further optimze but you have to be carefull or you start to kill important parts like many others do

Take a look at Kalyskah

https://f95zone.to/threads/kalyskah-v0-15-2-hotfix-nobre-lobo.1298/page-71#post-5857801

and especially project blue moon

https://f95zone.to/threads/project-blue-moon-v1-10-1-1-project-blue-moon.76185/post-5784606

Be first happy when FPS doesn't fall further down when more complex hair and physics come into play

Where Unreal still bottlenecks as a whole and which needs some more work than just debuging ontop asset performance

Keep away with a rather useless Hybrid Raytracing done on request for nice Screenshots implementation Unreal also uses like any Engine these days SDF and Raymarching.
Hybrid Raytracing can be usefull also in terms of Performance but we rarely see it currently as good as 0

Someone can tell me what to do in campaign? Jaaden says "Get yourself a proper weapon". Where?

Very near, in the same scenary there is a bow. Take it.
