Development update: Network code rework

Hi! Today we want to share some details on what the development team is working right now and what will happen with The Wild Eight in the nearest future. In January we decided to take the plunge and rework the netcode from the ground up. It takes almost all of time of our engineers and they need around a month to implement it into the game. Does the game really need it? Absolutely! It will fix most connection and desync problems we’re having, and will also let us add new game mechanics and content way easier. Why wasn’t it done right from the beginning? There are a number of reasons: for original developers it was a first big game project and weak points were unavoidable. Also requirements to the system have been changing during the development, which also led to the increasing complexity of the architecture. Now, with a more experienced team and stable core mechanics, there is no doubt that new netcode is what the game needs. We will keep you informed about all progress that’s been made. It will take some time, however - and we implore you to be patient. Thanks!

The Wild Eight is in a constant state of improvement, and it is not yet complete. If you are not ready for rare bugs and wipes, we recommend waiting for the full release. This does not mean that the game is unplayable or lacks features, it’s actually vice-versa! Right now The Wild Eight is fully enjoyable and has all main features such as the multiplayer, storyline and side quests. Buying the game and providing your feedback during Early Access will support us in improving the game. For more details check out our Early Access section above.

In The Wild Eight always keeping on the move is your only way to survive and find out what happened with this mysterious place. It doesn't pretend to be a realistic survival sim, but very challenging and fun game designed for both, a teamwork multiplayer and an immersive singleplayer experience.

COOPERATE
Join with other players online to take on the toughest of all the challenges.
SURVIVE
Brave new horizons in this beautiful, yet deadly random generated low-poly world. Warm your body around the campfire at night. Take shelter from blizzards and share the food with other survivors!
CRAFT & IMPROVE
Gather whatever you can to create the tools that will ensure your survival - weapons, clothing and gathering tools. Upgrade survival skills in your shelter to tailor the gameplay to your needs.
HUNT OR BE HUNTED
Flee from the ferocious beasts or turn the tables and let them taste your fear. However, there are things lurking in the wild that are even more dangerous than wild animals and blizzards.

All of this and more awaits you in The Wild Eight that gets updates with new features on a weekly basis. There’s more than the cold earth beneath the snow…
