Hey, Id like to know more about what you think the WL models are lacking. Are you talking about character models or level moedls? And what exactly about them? Care to elaborate?
The character models look fine, hair models and clothing are what is lacking imo. I know you guys have someone working on the hair models now and you're touching up prop/level models so just waiting for those all to be completed. Majority of the clothes still look plastic/low quality though. If you guys are still hiring outside modelers, Ryan Reos would be a dope addition if you can get them onboard I think(here's some of his work .

I've noticed that some of the recent bad reviews have been removed, but the positive ones are not touched. So were they botting or are you amazon'ing it? :p
They most likely pay to let it get removed. When I made a post directly comparing how much the "world" developed and that the game will never release it got removed. That was a year ago or smt. This was
1. A completely factual comparison and realistic, logical conclusion and
2. Was insulting nobody
Yet it got removed. For some reason something like that gets removed for this "game" but people ripping into a game and calling it trash is for some reason allowed when its about other games. Seems really strange.

we don't pay anyone to delete their reviews on F95. most likely they deleted the reviews themselfs or got deleted by the mods for this thread (which we are not).


*EDIT: I was actually surprised myself.

This is a pirating site, why would they care about bad reviews here? Imagine Adobe getting worked up because people complaining in the comment section on pirate bay lol

Which site it is posted on doesn't matter. What matters is, who wrote it and under which conditions it is written.

Unlike the paid reviewers of ign, pcgamer or any other big media outlets, pirates are actual players. They are not being paid or bribed in any way to write their reviews, this is why they write their honest reviews.

"Sponsored" content creators on youtube are also not transparent most of the time. This is because of two reasons. First reason is, if they talk bad about a game too much, they fear publishers/developers would stop sending them free games. Second reason is, they prioritize creating more interesting videos over honest reviews. Because this is what they do, this is why they are called "content creators". They earn money from doing this.

The site a review comes from definitely matters when a developer silencing critique is in question. EA doesn't need to silence reviews from people roasting pirated versions of their games, most of their playbase will be looking at legitimate platforms. A more relevant example is Fallen Doll - you can see efforts of their moderators silencing threads containing critique on their Steam discussion board, people being booted from their Discord for voicing opinions, etc, while the F95 page has people freely voicing opinions with no sign of FD moderators/devs attempting to hush people. There's no incentive to silencing people on pirating platforms because someone that's visiting a pirating site in the first place will likely pirate regardless just because they can.

Oh, pirate reviews definitely have a major impact. There was a game (Titan Quest?) that included DRM that would intentionally break the game in weird ways when a pirated version was detected. These issues didn't occur in a purchased copy, but the game got slammed with reviews for being horribly buggy mess and this reputation stuck with it because of this. The developers even admitted to this mistake. Considering that piracy rates can be as high as 90%, pirates are likely going to be the majority of reviews found in the wild and can, and have, affected sales.

Because they can't. Unlike official platforms, they can't control what is being said here because they don't control the platform. There is no way for them to remove negative comments on a platform they have no control over.

Pretty much, thats why we prefer to handle this in a positive way with constructive interaction and improvement. Little by little. Of course we cant make the game be 100% finished and loved at the push of a button, everyone has different thresholds where they think the game is now "good" or "playable" or whatever. Ive noticed a pleasant increase in people that give nice constructive feedback and offer good counter arguments against the default negative commenters.
I think for us the most viable thing to do is to just keep working on the game, adding more content and improvements and hope that the critics eventually check it out again be positively surprised - pirates or not.

Stability probably depends on your hardware, i haven't had any issues save for performance but i also upgraded all my components a year ago except for my GPU that i've had for about 2 years, it would be considered a mid range rid today, the game settings doesn't scale as well as it should but i'm getting 45-60 fps on the highest settings in most places and i haven't had any crashes, i had similar performance in UE4 in the vertical slice demo but it had heavy stutter, make of that what you will.

dudes with texture problems, check the previous changelog and edit the engine.ini .
add this at the bottom ---> r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=0
also i've been using this to turn off all shadows and increase performance ---> r.ShadowQuality=0
you can use both :)
p.s: pressing ''delete'' even when you think you dont have to helps to load the textures, atleast for me

I just downloaded the latest version of Wild Life, I wanted to know something: is it normal that there is no longer the "fishing village" map ? There is just the alpha of the new map, the old map and the showroom. Or I am bad checking but I can't find it.
