Hey there, does anyone have a simple custom sandbox map? I'm looking for a clean, well-lit white room, like a photo studio, with even lighting throughout. Thankyou

The Showroom sandbox map is a plain white room, or more precisely it has a mode that doesn't have a skybox or is affected by the in-game time of day, and it can switch to a dark room too if needed. If you need it even more white and well-lit, place a few objects to build your box and then color them white, then you can add a point light to the room and set it to not cast shadows.

An 18 gig game not having a mega.nz link is diabolical work.

I uploaded it to Mega for those who prefer to download from there.

Anyone know how to get rid of the clouds? There are SO MANY CLOUDS!

LOL I just had to hold down Arrow to remove clouds.

My 2 cents:

There are "loaded" distributions circulating around the web that come with a modified "WildLifeC.exe". When ran, this launcher will seemingly work as intended (game runs). But in the background it will unload a bunch of malware and miners onto the system.

Fortunately, it is very easy to detect whether it is a loaded exe or not: malicious exe will ask to be ran with admin privileges.

WildLifeC.exe WILL NEVER ASK TO BE RAN AS ADMIN . If your WildLife suddenly asked to be ran as admin (with password prompt), then never run,delete, report.

That is, all of the above only applies if you don't use administrator account as your daily driver.

Wasn't this game supposed to be done like two years ago?

Anyone know how to have lightning and Thunder? Or is that some mod I'd have to fine? Or change clothing color?

It was never done before. What you're thinking of as "done" was a small village made on a beach, and it was an example map, not a final map. The dev also didn't like the old map, so a new map was made, which as a result means they scrapped the old stuff. All the old stuff from the UE4 versions, except that map, were brought to the UE5 version.

Once you are in the editor mode press tab. On the left menu panel, on the top you will find a button name "Toggle level settings". On the new opened panel just select thunderstorm in the Weather Preset dropbox.

all that is just an example map? darn....

anyone else's game crashing immediately after opening?

Lightning: Add environment manager to the game. Have its level brightness change rapidly via animation player sequence
Thunder: Media player, add your .wav of the thunder and play via event

I've made a couple posts in here being very critical of the development prioritization in the past but it does appears the RPG elements are finally beginning to be implemented and in a coherent manner. It gives me some hope that this won't just stay strictly a giant sandbox milking subs with "added X new animations!" each patch and we might actually see a pretty decent game being built.

So, I've looked over the last 1-2 years of changelogs and read the last couple of pages on here. I even watched an official youtube video from the dev

But as far as I can tell, this "game" is still just a glorified posing, character and sex scene simulator with modding, animation and sandbox addons. Only now in the latest, shiny UE 5. In fact, they even scrapped content when they decided to redo the entire map or something?

But supposedly that's what the patreons and the users want instead of a conventional full game? You know, with characters, stories, quests or even gameplay. As I see it, they basically developed a toolset for modders in UE 5. Until now at least.

Anyway, I decided to go back to my comment over 5(!!!) years ago and I'm just leaving this here and tagging a couple of people who where angry back then and didn't agree or were making excuses for the poor devs. I still stand by my opinion, but I want to add, that appearantly we all just had or still have different expectations what this "game" actually is supposed to be. Furthermore, Cyberpunk 2 which I mentioned in my old post is already officially in development!

I guess, we'll see if my predictions hold true in the next 5 years.

I'll leave this little statistics here as well: So they were / are making around 1 Mio $ per year since 2019 for a sophisticated UE5 modkit. And this also doesn't factor in the steam sales of course. Remember this has been in development for a total of 8(?) years by now.

So let me get this straight. Despite there having been a global pandemic that meant the dev team had to work remotely which slowed down development, despite all the showcases of recent work being done, despite the times that AdeptusSteve has said and reiterated that they're not going to ship the final story part of the game until it's done, and despite the fact that the money made from the Patreon is going towards paying the dev team and not just a single person, then it means this game and the devs deserve any hate and the unreasonable criticisms that people have brought against them? Not to mention that of course Cyberpunk 2 is now in development because Projekt Red is actually a massive studio with way more funding and resources and more people and had the first game be successful enough to warrant a sequel.

And wow, 8 years of development? Some AAA games spent that long too, like remember how long Cyberpunk 2077 was in development for example. Another game I've brought up before, Kenshi, started development around 2008 and didn't get it's 1.0 release until 2019/2020 which is a little longer than 8 years, and also had even fewer people working on it than are working on Wild Life.

I'm not saying you can't critique the game or be upset at how long it's taking to finish, but using it to say the devs and game suck and calling them milkers, or just shitting on the game without offering suggestions of how to fix the problem, you've gone past the point where it can be considered critique, and you should probably just forget about the game if you really have so many issues with it and its development and the devs.

What's the purpose of pinging people that disagreed with you 5 years ago? I'm surprised you're even still looking at this game 5 years later if you hate the direction it's going so much. Maybe take that energy and put it somewhere productive - like making your own game in the fashion that you want, or seeking out other games that provide what you want.
