Member Test Build Announcement 06.12.2024
🕑 Added 2024-12-06 13:43:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
The December member-tier testing build is almost ready!
The time has come to show you an early version of our new combat system we’ve been working on for some time now. While still a work in progress, this update will give you a first glimpse into the direction we’re taking combat in Wild Life and the foundations we’re building for the future. Please keep in mind that this is still rough around the edges and will evolve with every new build release.
Here’s what you can expect in today’s update:
🔹 Core Mechanics in Action
Diverse attack types, including basic clicks, long presses, and combo variations with left and right mouse buttons.
Dodge mechanics with directional movement, target lock, and frontal movement.
Blocking and parrying, with timing-based mechanics to counter enemy attacks.
Combat includes Exhaustion and Stagger mechanics: Dealing damage, blocking, or parrying builds an enemy's exhaustion meter. Once full, the enemy will be exhausted and temporarily vulnerable, allowing for follow-up attacks. Currently, this serves as a placeholder mechanic, but in the future, we plan to add finisher moves to make these moments even more rewarding!
🔹 Weapons and Enemy Types
Current weapon types include Spear and Mace, with unique movesets for each. In the future, we’re planning to add Swords, Daggers, Hammers, and more, each with its own playstyle and variations.
Enemies currently include the Blackwing, Arac, Feral Lion, Raptor, and Humans with Spear or Mace weapons or unarmed combat, with around 20 more enemy types planned!
🔹 Work in Progress Features
This reveal is all about showing you the direction we’re heading in, and there’s still much more to come. Features currently in development include:
Special moves for players.
Expanded weapon categories and movesets.
New status effects, such as Poison, Fire, and Electric Shock (which currently only have a placeholder implementation).
Visual effects, audio responses, and gore system for more immersive combat.
Player progression systems, including leveling, items, and upgrades.
🔹 Why Reveal Now?
We’re sharing this early version to give you a sense of the combat system’s potential and invite your feedback. The current balancing is set to let you experience the feel of combat, with more tuning and refinement to come as we gather input from the community.
Your engagement and feedback will play a vital role in shaping this system into something truly amazing. So, dive in, experiment with the new mechanics, and let us know your thoughts!
And as always, thank you for your incredible support. Let’s make Wild Life’s combat the best it can be, together!
As always with our development builds the story implementations have spoiler warnings in place at key dialogue options.
Quick reminder for our member-tier and above patrons, if you want to have your name in the credits, please comment on this post.

I just joined the Patreon. Found the game by chance. I really really dig your sex animations and the mini-game mechanics that change the positions and action. Brilliant!

Is there a walk-through somewhere available to help complete the quests? Or at least a list of all quests in the game?

Okay so right away with the combat; damn in a good way. This is really going to make fighting be one where you have to think somewhat and react. I'm already looking forward to this part of the game, picking a fav weapon and fighting these enemies. Like the crafting, story-lore, ect, this really shows WL is more than just sex scenes, it'll be a real rpg and bulding (IN general) just about anything in sandbox, making this game very different from the rest of the the adult games that just only have sex and nothing else. As for the custom partical system, I hope there's a tutorial on how that works.

Glad to see the game shaping up with this build. Been close to a year since Sethro and Bol got significant batches of animations though, hope they get some love soon. Maybe something with the Kerpali, whether female or male.

Wow that's a lot of improvement for the combat system
