Unreal Engine Wild Life [v2025-02-20 - Full Shipping Build] [Adeptus Steve]

[Ordtos]

I wonder if they are planning to implement something like insectoid-people?

 

[Mick Thompson]

Is there any 3D game developer that people won't complain?

Carnal Instinct. Yes, they also cut out a lot when switching to UE 5, but it's still a game, with a WORKING RPG system, action, cutscenes, plot and even dungeons. And if I'm not mistaken, it's been in development for 3 years. I don't really like their visual style, but it's a matter of taste, I'm talking specifically about the competence of the developers

Where? Where is gameplay? Its literally sandbox for taking photos/videos and making environment by yourself. Dont wanna say its bad, its just not a game. Its just a perfect blender/sfm for noobs

CI has the gameplay and world a lot more fleshed out but it's lacking everything WL does well. Character customization is mediocre to say the least, there's not that many animations, and the system for viewing animations is really bad.

Whatever it takes to get them to realize that you don't have to argue with every single person that says they enjoy the game and consider it the best of what they've experienced in their own opinion thus far. It isn't all "dick riding" or whatever they wanna call it, some people genuinely have never experienced this level of quality in a pornish game elsewhere and that's perfectly alright.

I do understand how they feel though, why should other people be happy when I'm miserable?

God knows my own obsession has been in overdrive trying to find the perfect picture of Steve to print onto a body pillow and I've certainly done my best to ruin others happiness in the process of my great quest.

Why just the other day on my quest I was met with extreme hostility when I tried to get the picture attached to said pillow. After I made my request and started going back and forth with the employee, they got their manager involved and told me I had to leave. When I asked for the reason, they said "sir, this is a Wendy's".

Whatever the hell that means.

That was a hell of a long post to end up failing to highlight whatever point you're trying to make.

Best Game.

I've got a bridge for sale, interested?

FWIW Carnal Instinct has complainers as well, a good amount of them sharing similar comments to the ones you see here in the WL thread. Visit Carnal Instinct's F95 thread if you haven't already. Regardless of what developers are doing, there will always be those that aren't pleased and feel the need to make sure others are aware and are equally miserable.

However, CL is a game, and it's already pretty clear what it will be like on release. Absolutely nothing is unclear about WL, not even a concept is emerging yet. This is exactly what is just a collection of assets and tools for them.
I just want to understand in which direction the developers are developing their project, but it seems to me that they themselves no longer understand. Or they realize that they are not coping with the development, and imitate some kind of activity. Why don't they hire a coder to fix basic things for them?
I like this project, I like how some things are implemented, I'm not a hater or a whiner, but from build to build I only see how three new placeholders were added to the map, new "characters" and clothes to them. It feels like the development of this game is in chaos. A lot of assets, animations, models are being made, but the basis, the concept on which all these things are planted is missing

Because they started to develop the game from the right end. It's much easier to add customization, new animations and models than to try to assemble a bunch of ready-made parts into something meaningful. It seems to me that the story of Yandere-dev has found a continuation in this project

 

[KiWolfGirl]

CI also got characters and scenes I'm looking forward to but if you look at THAT game and think "good gameplay" then you might as well be playing animation galleries anyway.

I haven't played CI since it switched to UE5, but I did play the most recent UE4 build before the switch and the content there outside of the porn was like a further developed version of what WL has to offer. They have combat and quests that looks and feels much more fleshed out than WL's for sure, but I wouldn't say it feels leaps ahead of WL. I just think it comes down to both developers choosing to focus different things. To be frank, Carnal Instinct is lacking quality wise with the actual porn. They used fixed camera angles to reduce the work load of animating and doing body physics. Subverse did the same thing. They focused more on the gameplay/story than the porn quality and caught a decent amount of criticism for it.

Each game has their strengths and will likely improve with time. Carnal Instinct and Subverse has a good chunk of quality content with porn, Wild Life has a bunch of quality porn but lacks in actual content, but unlike the others, WL offers Sandbox that allows users to make and share their own content in the meantime.

I think the quests in WL feel less cohesive because everything still feels and looks WIP if that makes sense, but then again they are still WIP and the devs have made that apparent so it's hard to fault them for that, in my opinion at least.

 

[Mick Thompson]

I don't really like animations in CL, I played the game because I was interested in playing it. I'm not interested in just looking at a set of animations, the context is important if it's a game. If it's just a set of animations, then it's not a game.

And it all boils down to the fact that WL has nothing but high-quality animations... 7 years of development? Yeah, cool, you made a sandbox. I LIKE IT, BUT: what are you developing? A sandbox, or a game? If the sandbox, then it is necessary to develop it, add a face poser, sculpting models, a skin texture editor, etc. If the game is to start making a game. But not all of them and not at the same time

I think this is just where we're gonna disagree. Personally, I don't view the Sandbox as standalone. It's part of the game. Wild Life isn't just the campaign side of things, the whole game encompasses both game modes, so to say it's just animations isn't accurate since it offers more than that. I can respect that some people don't care for the Sandbox, that's cool. But that doesn't invalidate the work the devs put into it and means people get to pretend it doesn't exist just to say the devs haven't progressed over the years.

The campaign side of things in WL is still very bare bones, but the Sandbox is well developed/polished. CI has content going for it but the porn is meh, WL has the porn going for it but the amount of content is lacking. Both games have their strengths and weaknesses.

I've been having problems with the last couple of build. Everytime I try to open the inventory the game crushes and freezes, I have to use task manager to close the program. I tried change resolution and screen settings but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me there?

 

[Voltanis]

These open world RPG projects are too much wasted manpower imo.

Wild Life nails what it needs to with nsfw animations and customization. Carnal Instinct may have more passable "gameplay" but at what cost?

If I want a good RPG I'm not turning to adult indie developers. Even if all these devs manage to complete that extremely ambitious nsfw open world RPG when nsfw content is lacking there's little reason to play it.

I'm assuming you're on an AMD gpu. Set the game to run with dx11. Hope the devs find a fix with the game not liking AMD for some reason.

well that would explain it. thanks a lot my dude
PD: any clue on how to set it to run on dx11? sorry the ignorance, I checked all the graphics options and culdn't find it

This is how I view it as well. A NSFW rpg that's lacking in the NSFW department is meaningless to me when there are proper rpgs I could play. For ex. a modded Skyrim is the complete package. It's a proper rpg that also offers decent quality porn through mods. In a full on NSFW game, the porn side is more important to nail first imo considering it's being sold specifically as an Adult/NSFW game. That's what separates it from normal rpgs, so it needs to have that down first and foremost.

Go to:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WildLifeC\Saved\Config\Windows

then open Engine.ini and add the following line at the bottom:

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11
