Wilderless

Oh my gosh, this is such a good game… probably my favorite. I’m devestated though at how different it was after the latest update!! I loved the ability to make gardens and waterfalls and a few new animals, but the atmosphere and overall vibe changed completely :( It is really a good game still though, I’m only complaining bc the previous version was like my ‘calm place’ and now it’s gone! I wish you could republish the 2024 version!! I would get that so fast!

My carefully created garden disappeared within 8 hours despite saving down the map/garden

I have used the “save” option for map, and selected “recover garden”. However, within the space of 8 hours, half of my garden have disappeared, half of them remains but are distorted. Please can you advise how to preserve / extract the saved contents going forward?

Response from developer

Im sorry to hear this - I know that's frustrating. Sometimes it helps to turn on the optimization options in the bottom right of the splash screen. Also it can help to choose Options-Reset from the SplashScreen to make sure there's no saved settings that are too high quality, or to reinstall the app. Sometimes though it might be the device can't handle the game since it's quite heavy. I am constantly trying to learn more ways to optimize it, but if this doesn't work, you can get a refund from apple at https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204084 , then email me and I will give you a free copy so that if you get a new device one day you can play the game risk free. UPDATE: I just released a new update 1.6 with optimizations that might help. I really do want to make as many people as possible able to enjoy my games so I am constantly working on ways to make them better and learning more from books and articles about ways to optimize them. First it's good to clear out any quality settings that might around fro before. Either delete then reinstall the game (that will clear everything) or on the splash screen goto the top left option button, and in the next screen click RESET ALL. Then, on the splash screen, click the button top right called OPTIMIZE. In the next screen, turning on the big toggle will save a lot of memory and may help with crashes. But you can also try turning on any or all of the other optimize buttons on that screen, and reduce the tree density a little or a lot. If any of this helps and you have a better experience, it will help me if you consider updating your review - only if you want to. And it will also help me if you let me know if the update makes things better. You can email me at Robert at Protopop dot com and let me know.

:(

I couldn’t update my review on my android for some reason, it’s like they locked my ability to make one, but before all the updates now I feel like this game lacks heart. I know it sounds stupid but I realize there’s not as much character customization anymore. There’s a lack of clothes. Clothing being gender locked and I’m still experiencing crashes both of my phones can play genshin impact and games similar to that :/ so I fail to understand what happened. This game was great! Now I’m just really disappointed.

More biomes

Please add tropical and desert biomes

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your support. It truly means a lot. I don’t plan to add deserts to this game, mainly due to memory limitations. However, I created a separate game called Wilderless: Dune Barrens. It’s built on the same core experience, but set in an entirely new desert region with dunes, oases, new animals, and its own atmosphere. I designed it specifically to explore that landscape in a deeper, more focused way. I hope you’ll consider checking it out:)

Mise à jour à enlever !!!!!

Bonjour j’adorais votre jeu avant la 1,8 il était reposant on pouvait se transformer en animal je sais que vous ne pouvez plus l’enlever mais je vous demande sa vous pouvez fair un autre jeu comme sa avant la 1,8 !

Response from developer

J’ai publié la mise à jour 2.4 et vous devriez toujours pouvoir vous transformer en animaux. Ouvrez la roue d’action avec le bouton au-dessus du bouton Saut, puis choisissez **Animaux**. En dessous des boutons des animaux, appuyez sur **Changer de forme**. Lorsque la Changer de forme est activée, appuyer sur un animal vous permettra de vous transformer en lui. Si vous la désactivez, appuyer sur un animal le fera simplement apparaître à côté de vous. Vous pouvez aussi vous approcher de la plupart des animaux pour les monter. Certains se montent dessus, tandis que pour d’autres vous vous transformez directement en eux. Je suis très heureux que vous trouviez Wilderless relaxant, car c’est exactement le but du jeu. Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien et vos encouragements.

stuck on a ship

*update after developer response*
Thank you! The game is beautiful and soooo relaxing. I hope to see the ship again with controls to leave it.
I love that the dungeons have no enemies or fighting. Really great game!!

Beautiful yet laggy

An aesthetic and serene game that encourages exploring. There’s a lot of customization options as well. However, it’s laggy both on my iPhone and iPad. Perhaps it’ll be better if I adjust the settings, but I selected the recommended quality for both.

Has it changed?

Love this game its so wonderful to explore but can I make friends with and ride the creatures anymore? I liked when you gifted the creatures things and they let you ride on them I cant seem to do that anymore? When I click on the animals i just turn into them

Response from developer

Yeah I'm going to change this back a bit, to being able to ride the animals but not having to feed them necessarily. I'd like to give people the choice and I didn't realize that people like riding them so much until I heard from people like you. So thanks for taking the time to let me know. This is why I value getting feedback. And also thank you so much for the five stars because I am alone working on this and that is one of the best ways to help me reach more people and keep making games❤️

Love it BUT…

I do love the game but it keeps shutting off on me. It is a beautiful world and I love being able to summon animals whenever I want and exploring the underground tunnels. I have never been able to complete the challenges because whenever I have the time the game keeps shutting off.

Crashes, a lot

Several issues with this app, it will close down often. Most of the time I can only play for 5/10 minutes before it closes. Secondly, when placing a shelter and save the game, the shelter is gone.

Came back after a couple years

Checking out all the new stuff and wow, wow, wow! So much stuff has been added. This may just be the absolute best pay once to play open world game on the App Store. So much life in this world, it’s honestly really impressive. Great job Dev!!

Peaceful Game, excellent developer

I found this game by chance; someone had posted a video of the gameplay and I was like “oh, that seems interesting”- and it is. Absolutely!

Things it is: Beautiful. Calming. Charming. Cute. A good way to relax and just explore. Customizable. Did I mention beautiful?

Things it isn’t: a combat game, a quest game. A game with ads.

If you got this far- buy it. You’ll enjoy the heck out of it.

As a note to parents: this is a game that you can hand your kids and not worry for a moment about content or ads or who they are playing with. I have a 10 year old boy who gets completely into game.

great

Very good game thank you so much

Response from developer

Thank you fellow Canadian :-) and hello from Montreal. It's challenging but a lot of fun to make these games and I am working constantly on updates to it so expect to see new features shortly. And thank you for giving me five stars – that is a very great way to help solo game developers like me🙏🏽

Amazing game

I’ve had this game for a few years now. It’s just beautiful. it runs well and I love it. I do wonder if there’s any way to play this on PC or anything but even just on the phone it’s just one of the most wondrous games I’ve ever played

Beautiful game

Thank you so much for creating a game suitable for older versions of ipad and what a relaxing game. Very aesthetically pleasing and well designed. I appreciate the hard work! 🌿

Response from developer

I appreciate that :-) it is a lot of hard work and I'm really glad that people enjoy playing it. I'm working on an update for the game too. That will improve some of the features. And thank you very much for giving me a five star rating. That is a wonderful way to support indie solo game developers like me and it helps me keep improving my games and creating new ones, which is some thing I love to do.

Its a good game

Its a good game, delivers on all the points advertised, I sorted out the crashing issue in a sort of way. Only issue I have is that the weapons and spells are just for show. They look cool but don't serve any purpose. Id love if there was something to shoot at.

Oh my!

This is absolutely exquisite! The artwork is lovely, the music is soothing, the choices seem endless. It’s a real pleasure and treasure!

A visually fun place to be

No complaints, a visually interesting and fun place to explore.

Charming & Relaxing

Finally something to relax after a stressful day😌. Just one request plz add ability to sit on chairs in shelter.

Response from developer

I love that it's relaxing, that was a big focus of my game. And you'll be happy to know that being able to sit down in chairs and other places is coming to Wilderless 2.0. And thank you for supporting me with 5 stars. That's a great way to encourage me and to help me reach more people.

Crash while creating worlds

I play on iPhone XR which worked great for some days, now the app crashes when I create world.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear that. In the splash screen first clear everything by going top left then choosing reset all. Just to make sure any custom quality settings that might be causing problems are set to default. Then goto too right and click optimize. Here especially turning off use advanced terrain will save a lot if memory and so will use advanced trees off. You could also try turning off use distant terrain. This might help you create the world and then you can go from there. and in the game itself you can goto options - quality - optimize and try some of these settings as well. And if you find it gets unstable, any time you can go to options - settings - reset, and this will reset the default quality settings in the game.
