Whoa man, calm the scope creep down
Scope creep in project management refers to changes, continuous or uncontrolled growth in a project’s scope, at any point after the project begins. This can occur when the scope of a project is not properly defined, documented, or controlled. It is generally considered harmful.

If the Wild Life devs make a design document that outlines what Wild Life Sandbox will be precisely from beginning to end, knowing clearly what it will become 3 years from now, they can prevent scope creep from happening. But they're not going that route for sandbox. Instead, they've adopted RAD(Rapid Application Development) style development; a state of prototyping that relies heavily on user feedback, making revisions, repeat. The only problem with this kind of development, you have to constantly be getting detailed and critical feedback from the end user; I'd argue most end users don't know how to give the kind of feedback needed to make RAD work.

Long story short, if you're saying Wild Life devs should draft a design document that outlines what Sandbox will look like 3 years from now, to prevent Scope creep, then I couldn't agree with you more.

So yea, the only reason I'm leaving that kind of feedback, is because that's what their style of development requires, it needs user feedback. Yea, I don't want scope screep either.

You don't necessarily need dialogue to drive forward a story, environmental storytelling and emergent gameplay are a thing as well. It's a pet peeve of mine when a porn game (or any game for that matter) subjects the player to seemingly endless waves of text to get a simple point across because people mistake 'a lot of text' for 'a good story'. An event system that doesn't feature custom dialogue forces you to think a bit more to get a point across if that's what you're going for.
After thinking a bit more, I still don't see how the event system can thrive with out custom dialogue that drives it.

Hopefully people prove me wrong, because I genuinely want to enjoy Sandbox as a product.

Hey guys! I made a short mission-style adventure sandbox game map. A Rescue Mission. Some photos about the gameplay, and instructions down below:
View attachment 1881826
View attachment 1881830
View attachment 1881831
View attachment 1881833
The story:
You're the captain of the whole squad, but during the travel to the next mission, one of your unit got crashed and lost somewhere in the jungle. Luckily you know their coordinates and a pilot can take you there. Though they're trapped. You must cooperate with your crew and find the way out!

Some tips:
Press H key to complete this little mission in first person mode for more immersion. Sometimes you have to press the jump button twice to grab the edge of the objects to climb it, so a little practice would be good before, to get in touch with the games' climbing and parkour system. Try to follow the instructions, for example change the character, crawl where you feel you must, to advance and so on...

World and NPC files:
-Download the direct link of the world and the npc files. They are .rar files, you have to extract them.
-Maya folder goes to -> C:\Users\You\Appdata\Local\WildlifeC\Saved\CharacterPresets\My Presets\
-A Rescue Mission.json goes to -> C:\Users\You\Appdata\Local\WildlifeC\Saved\SandboxSaveGames\MySaves\FisherVillage\

!Make sure you put it into the FisherVillage folder, not the Showroom.
Unique work of concept for the tools available now, imagine what more people can do with a fully featured event system.

Sorry to be a pain but. I've tried to downloading this from various links in the OP and keep getting these error messages. Do we know if the packs are incomplete or otherwise missing files?

It could be an issue on my side of course. But this is a relatively new PC and I've had no issues running any other unreal games.

Those look like DirectX errors. Maybe try reinstalling the newest direct x 11 and/or 12, or whatever you are using.

Try to install all the direct x drivers, beginning with dx9.

I swear if this will be another update without considering the needs of the average Kral x Maya enjoyer I will riot (in Minecraft).
the next update is this week, i expect a lot of male kerpali x maya scenes so maybe with kral as well
they added the horseman which shares Skelton with minotaur so i expect more mino x maya/shey animations

they did say that they'll try to add another mini game scene with Maya maybe a group, lets see!!
friday cant come fast enough

Do I need any special software to run this game or anything I should do for it to work properly?

Ps can it run in windows 11?

Would appreciate it if someone can give me some info on these issues

Would be easier to just download it and try, no? After all, what if someone tried it on their Win11 system and it worked -> they say "it works" -> you try, it fails? Only one way to find out whether it runs on your specific combination of software and hardware.

As for "special software": none required beyond what you might need for any other run-of-the-mill game (like DirectX). Installation spoiler in the OP mentions nothing of the sort + it worked out of the box for me, for what THAT is worth.

Thanks, I guess you're right, as for my hardware and software combinations, I have an i7 RTX 3060 with 16 GB RAM and 6GB VRAM

If anyone from here has a big influence on the game, please suggest that the developers add furry more like human than kerpali. My guess is that creating new models is quite difficult, so adding furry skin for existing human models would suffice. After all, we have wings, rabbit and deer ears and a tail so I think it won't be that hard to add such a skin if the finished mechanics are already on kerpals. Another option would be to add a furry outfit.
