Wild Life Development Update Covers Combat AI and World Building
Wild Life outlines a group token system for combat AI, updated landscape textures, and character animation expansions.
Wild Life details backend updates across level design, combat balancing, and character behaviors.
Combat AI and Balance
A group token system limits active attacks during fights so only one NPC operates at full activity while others reduce engagement. Developers also run an initial balancing pass for weapon, enemy, and player stats, alongside setting up bandit character classes and loot pools.
World and Character Art
Level design continues with A-quality blockouts for Umbar and detail meshes for Apoc, alongside landscape textures for the story mode world map. Male human eyebrow behaviors are now complete, matching the female models, and work starts on smaller lizard enemies for Kerpal.
Animations and Quests
New NPC routine animations for Adûn lizards cover sitting, guarding, spear practice, plate chiseling, ritual bell chiming, and ore drilling. Item use animations for consuming meals, fruit, meat, and potions are integrated. The Lake village main quest is revised so Max can gather information from multiple characters.
