Wild Life Development Update Details Crypts, AI Tools, and Character Work
The latest Wild Life development update outlines ongoing work on the ancient lizard crypts, character animation refactoring, combat AI tools, and new character designs.
The development team behind Wild Life has shared its progress report for July 5, 2024, detailing active work across level design, code optimization, character modeling, and animations.
Level Design and World Building
Level designers are building the ancient lizard crypts located in the canyons behind Apoc. The team also performed minor cleanup on the World Map level, improved landscape grass, finalized cannibal cave layouts, and completed the ranged combat system and AI design.
Code and Animation Refactoring
Coders began refactoring and optimizing the character animation blueprint while building internal tools for combat AI behaviors. Sandbox character state switching core functionality is complete, and work has started on a camera sequence system for sex scenes. Animators focused on block staggers, dodges, Hopper animations, and a Max and Sadora minigame set in Pearl Village's natural pools.
Character Modeling and Outfits
Character work is underway for Janara, a fisherman from Lake village. The Andorin blockout is finished and scheduled for sculpting and texturing next week, while concept work continues for an updated Wildfire outfit set and a second version of the Warrior Kerpali outfit.
