General Update 25.04.2018 (Patreon)

Hello dear patrons,
We have an announcement to make for today (Please read).
As you know, our vision for Wild Life is to create an open world RPG with decent gameplay, graphics and of course a ton of adult content.
Unfortunately, with the amount of content planned for the game and the time it takes to develop all those things with our limited resources we found ourselves in need to find alternative/additional ways to ensure our vision of Wild Life. In order to make the game we promised to you and to ourself we need to scale further.
So far we hired two full-time professionals with the patreon money and spent everything on moving towards our goal. But as you can imagine moving on like this wont get us very far. We are currently getting around 7-8k from your awesome support! But paying 4 full-time salaries, office rent, electrical bills for several computers, taxes, and so on is already quite a challenge.
So we have been thinking a lot about alternative funding strategies and came up with an idea which we want to present to you in the following lines.
We had a lot of positive feedback from you on our VR game in december, also some negative but still valid feedback from people without VR or those who were wondering why exactly we strayed away from the actual game in that little experiment. We also received feedback and tips from our industry friends here in Berlin who told us we should fork some manpower into stuff like this and sell it as it would certainly find its audience.
So we decided to start a sub-project beside Wild Life:
Sexbot Quality Assurance Simulator, which will be released on the 9th May on Steam (SFW Version) and Nutaku (NSFW). This game is mostly based on our VR prototypes we have done before Wild Life and our december build. While its a VR game it will be fully enjoyable in a non VR mode.
We hope that this commercial release will give us the opportunity to hire more people to work on Wild Life and to scale up further to slowly but surely become a true game studio dedicated to adult content.
We still kept on working on Wild Life and with the VR game we also improved our character systems a lot. After the 9th of May we will go back to Wild Life full throttle again with hopefully a bigger team.
Everyone who supported us with a lifetime amount of 20$ or more will get either a Nutaku or Steam copy for free (More info about this will follow in a different post).
This is a big step for us and we hope you understand and share this path with us.
