Patreon Development Update 12.05.2023
🕑 Added 2023-05-12 17:42:43 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Important: A quick reminder that our original Wild Life discord server has been lost to a hacker attack. To learn more about what happened, please read this public patreon post if you haven't yet. If you are still on the old server we urge you to leave that as it is no longer in our control.
We have created a new community discord server (Wild Life Official) and connected it to our patreon page and are pleased to see how fast it is growing. We are very hopeful it will someday be even greater than the one we lost.
And now on to the classic weekly progress report. Here is what the team worked on this week:
Level: We have been converting our Master Materials to a new architecture and workflow to help with performance and usability.
Finished Warrior Village Blockout, now started working on improving the Pearl Village's landscape.
Code: We switched over to dynamic navigation mesh generation as an experiment. While the previous static navigation mesh works fine, it is very inflexible and generates large amounts of data.
The dynamic generation comes at a slight performance cost and can cause hitches if there are many characters pathfinding, but it will finally allow characters to pathfind around your sandbox scenes!
As part of our work on analytics, we implemented a system that allows the user to upload crash reports. This system uses the standard Unreal Crash Reporter, so the user can decide for each crash whether they want to upload it or not.
Character: We have been making some awesome progress on the outfit front, check out all these WIP models and designs!
Also, started work on Agon, brother of Chakkar and chief of the Warrior Village.
Animations: Janara's snake bite scene for Koodie's Emergency quest is done. Continuing our work on routine animations.
Design:
Our designers have been very busy bees, here is a list of all they touched on this week:
Almost finished the design for the Item system
Continued the design for the combat system (weapons and ammo)
Pearl village side quest design
Managing all the new routine animation data
Maya X Zyke quest and dialogues
Jadeen quest and dialogues for Maya
Barran dialogues for Max and Maya
Started implementing several missing cutscenes from the previous build (Max X Janara minigame, Max X Koodie cutscene)
Thank you for all your continued support,
-Wild Life Team

I just hope you take your time on this one, i like it when a questline does a huge update and changes, cause last one was meh even some animations are missing.
Halifax

Irishpride
Do you know any other great games in development?
Adeptus Steve
Yea we really need to implement this asap, its getting ridiculous game-data wise when we want to make combinations of things internally.
Adeptus Steve
After we managed to re-build our server and get so many users moved, im over it now. Chris is also getting by. We will master this crisis.
gaudy

YourMagnet_adult_version
Oh, I love your progress on the characters so much, great equipment and designs. The landscapes are amazing
Broken Fomorian
I'd really appreciate an option to split facial hair from hairstyle overall. Like, being able to give Max or Sethro a beard AND dreadlocks. As it is it's either/or.
Tyler
just askin when is this one be done bc i really like the outfits
Spanky
More scenery porn! They're gorgeous! Can I assume there will be a spicy end to Maya's Jadeen quest if we so choose? ;)
Leif
Everyone loves risqué Aloy. :D

I'm sorry to hear about the hacker attack on your Discord server. Let's hope that the new one will not be hacked and lost! Good luck

Nice to see the female versions of the themed outfits. Will there be variations that look closer to the other gender? Like women having something like the bulkier tribal outfits the men have, and men with something less covered like the straps in the preview for the women's outfit.
New Frontiers
So proud of the Wild Life team! Great work!
Sydo
The picture with new outfit for the women is she a new character? And is both her hair styles gonna be available?
Colord44
The two areas as always look fantastic. I can't wait to see them fully developed. Now as for Chakkar's brother; it's nice to see families are being introduced as it adds more history and things to known characters. I'll be curious in general to see how this sibling is and what role he'll play. The outfits are looking good, but what has struck me is the new warrior girl (I assume from the area Agon rules). Very distinct look and like with him, I will keep an eye out to see if she becomes her own character or will just be a npc.
Yakman
Hello Agon~ 🥰
Tyler
That Tribal outfit is goated.
Shelby dartX
the tribal outfit (with the red must be exceptional on Maya) really can't wait to see all this.
