Day one of my new life as a solo deer. It's been a fun journey, and I hope to start my own herd with myself as the leader. Day two, I've met a red deer. He's strange, but there's safety in numbers and he's larger than me. Hopefully I can break off soon as we find more of our own species. He's named me Fred. My name is Darren..doesn't matter, we won't be travelling together for long. Day two; part two, Things have immediately taken a turn for the worse. Not only does this creature seem to lack basic survival skills, but he's been talking about "breeding," with me if he can't find a mate. I've located a waterfall. Hopefully if I hide here he'll lose my scent and leave me be. Day three, After several hours cowering in the waterfall it seems the red deer has left me to my fate. I know of a lake nearby where I could easily feed and drink while I search for a mate and companions for my future herd. If I'm lucky I'll never encounter that red deer again. Day three; part two, The red deer is some sort of Eldritch Deer God. Not only did it survive a fall from great heights, but it's changed not only my species but also my gender. I'm a female now. The transformation process was painful. It still calls me Fred. It mocks me, but I am powerless to stop it.
bachelor herds are actually common among ungulates like deer, which are composed primarily unrelated groups of mature bucks/bulls that travel together throughout most of the year. a true sausage fest, nonetheless. :)
Is this similar to what rogue lions do? Not sure if bucks get kicked out of the herd when they grow up if there is already a buck or if they have to challenge the buck and win to stay in the herd
@@_ubiquitous_9766 precisely! rogue lions are exiled from their prides by the dominant male (often their father and/or uncle) after they've reached a certain age and are perceived as a threat. some may remain, but others ultimately roam to establish harems of their own. similarly, young bucks/bulls are often exiled by the dominant male(s) of their herd, though they may still stick around in their parents' territory. of course, if the dominant male is challenged, they may retaliate, but it may be too much for a young male to tank. a bachelor group is defined by a group of generally juvenile males who are still sexually immature that have been cast out of their parents' group, but have not yet established a territory or secured a harem. there are several other species besides lions and deer that disperse, too!
@@NerdAlert42 that's super neat! bachelors tend to linger around herds of does, and they'll even graze right alongside them! they're not too keen on the whole "child support" situation, though. ha!
It is going to be an extremely long time before anything gets done with the game again. The developer is working on a different game in Unreal so that he can rebuild The Wilds in the Unreal Engine. As of right now this games development is on hold indefinitely.
Whoever made this game must have been the same people who help the producers make the whitetail sound like an elk SINCE THEY MADE THE MULE DEER LOOK LIKE A RED DEER
Worth noting for anyone who wants to try this game: Updates are on temporary hiatus because the dev has had to switch from unity to unreal engine, and is working on smaller games to hone their skills with the new engine before doing a revamp of this game and continuing development. They have an ocean animal sim set to release in September.
Drae deer is somehow the most chaotic deer I have ever seen ..... "If I can't find a FEMALE , I guess, hey you , Fred here will have to do" Well Drae is like confused , and just makeshift work it 😂 😅😂
Wow what a cool game! I remember playing Cabella’s dangerous hunts as a kid and thinking “I wish I could be the deer.” The animal movements look amazing too
@@toyotawitha20mm35 a lot of cannibals and bored herbivores that turn the game into a battle royale kinda. Even if thats just 10% of players most of the time you‘ll end up getting killed by someone who doesn‘t profit from the meat you leave behind
@@toyotawitha20mm35 There's nothing to do in the game but fight people. And the lead dev actively discourages modding and community run servers with rules. Add in the fact that night time is nearly unplayable and equal length to day time, and you get perfect melting pot for bored people looking to kos just to have something to do. If you aren't being toxic, you're playing the game as a dino chat room.
Oh wow! This reminds me a lot of wolfquest which has been a longtime favorite game of mine since childhood, but with better graphics! I’ll definitely be checking this out, and if you’re into wildlife sims WQ is worth a look.
Disappointed with the inaccurate rack depictions, mule deer don’t have elk racks , just another depiction of media using elk bc they are the most stunning/biggest
He’s playing as a red deer which is like a type of elk Edit: as the Feral Woman pointed out red deer are not in fact a type of elk. They are closely related to elk as members of the sub family Cervinae
@@DoctorSess Definitely not a type of elk, but they *are* related. His red deer is a proper red deer, but "mule deer" is not only NOT what that is, but it'd be on the wrong continent lol.
@@FeralSheWolf yes technically they are two different species but elk and red deer are both part of Cervinae which is a sub family of Cervidae. Mule deer are part of Capreolinae which are the new world deer.
I wonder what a fantasy take on this kind of survival game would be like. Could you imaging running around as a magical creature and just trying to survive?
First time I ever heard someone pronounce it that way and he can't use being Canadian as an excuse, 'cuz I am as well and I sure as heck don't pronounce it like that. XD
I'm glad you released this vid because these games are also MY JAM. Even the horrid ones I just love the concept of animal sims. Shoutout to Cougar Simulator, which I do not think is 'horrid' it's a bit janky but has a place in my heart.
6:09 "where'd you come from I was just following the frog!" As he said while running and looking at the map as two wolves are laying out in the open in front of him
Hi there, it is Dear Drae here... You are always dear to our hearts, Drae. I am happy you were able to identify the kind of creature you are in this game.
It might be the first game I've seen that has smart lighting, if you go inside cave it's not absolutely dark and you can actually see something Unless it wasn't game but Drae doing that
I feel like MOST animal nerds dream about games like this... For the longest time (especially before The Isle), you could only find playable games like this on Roblox...
Ohhh dear, started off as a total ✨deer sausage✨ party! Eventually Drae got does in different area codes!! Shoutout to famous rapper, Mule-a-cris (aka Ludacris)!¡! 🤘🏼🥳🤘🏼
Yeahh, that mountain pass is kinda weird and known for breaking you pack mate's legs. Still being worked on haha, since the game is only has one guy working on the whole thing.
That’s hilarious that red deer are in this game considering it’s likely taking place in North America. In my home state in the southeast US, we have a recent influx of invasive red deer that are hurting our native whitetail population, so seeing a red deer anywhere makes me seethe. But they are pretty.
Hey Drae! You should try Genesis Alpha One. I've been playing it recently and would like to see your take on it. It's a roguelike space Ark/ colony builder. That's all I'm going to say on it! Love your videos btw!!

It’s drae
the better part is him almost saying he'd never survive
Whoever made this game must have been the same people who help the producers make the whitetail sound like an elk
SINCE THEY MADE THE MULE DEER LOOK LIKE A RED DEER
There are multiple skins you can use, so they probably based the skin of a red deer.
it was actually one guy who made the game i’m in his discord he has stopped working on it for now and is trying un real engine now
stags can get stuck when ramming heads

"For some reason there is a stealth skill" yes drae predators need stealth to hunt and prey needs stealth to hide from predators 😂
16:50 deer pack hunting a wolf. my, how the turns have tabled.
Famous last words of the year:
Drae plays as a deer in the wilds
Drae: "probably a bear cave but that's alright"
Oh wow! This reminds me a lot of wolfquest which has been a longtime favorite game of mine since childhood, but with better graphics! I’ll definitely be checking this out, and if you’re into wildlife sims WQ is worth a look.
call of the wild update really makes it a different game
this game was updated? I've been waiting for an update for almost a year
It's a joke @@jessedriscoll4447
This video was pushed by TH-cam. Have never seen this guy but he did not disappoint! I want to see more. Both deer gameplay and predator.
Not drae making a bachelor group of bucks at the beginning lol
It would be so cool if there was professional poachers and you have to run when you hear weird deer calls or see the gun looking at you

Games need to start doing research on what animals are what before they throw animals names at random things.
Hardcore zoologist ( from flipcart ) spotted
Dude!!! I have been Laughing So Hard at you calling Herds of Deer, Packs 🤣🤣🤣. Goddamn I’d love it if you called a Pack of Wolves, a School! Hahaha 🤣
Drae, you certainly find some find some interesting games out there.
2:57 Deer don't herd they pack now
0:18 …did i miss an episode….nope drae just forgot to introduce the game again
When I'm not feeling good watching drae be bad at games always cheers me up
That swan dive was epic.
Loving this game so far! Keep it up.
Need a series of this
9:05 Lol what you expecting??
You need love sadistic Drae part:):)
Would love to see more of this. Both as a deer and as other species.
Drae I need to see a 50 deer pack out of your play through. The chaos oh the beautiful chaos
I wonder what a fantasy take on this kind of survival game would be like. Could you imaging running around as a magical creature and just trying to survive?
I want to be a UNICORN!
This game sucks so no thanks
Path of Titans would probs be pretty close to what you're thinking with some of the mods folks have put out now
"Fred what the hell is wrong with you?!" 😂😂
Basin, another word drae says that triggers something in me 😂 “bazin” 😂
First time I ever heard someone pronounce it that way and he can't use being Canadian as an excuse, 'cuz I am as well and I sure as heck don't pronounce it like that. XD
@@LukaTisus yeah he def has a way with words alright 😂
"Pack" for a herd was getting me.
This was honestly so entertaining
So glad this popped up on my feed, good job algorithm! Hadn’t heard of your channel or this game but I think I just became a fan of both! Subscribed!
Please Draegast do more of it it looks hell of interesting!

You are always dear to our hearts, Drae. I am happy you were able to identify the kind of creature you are in this game.

A sausage party is insane work family bro had me crying😂😂😂😂
I just discovered your channel. This is the first video I've watched of yours, and my goodness, I'm laughing so hard. Subscribed 😊
This was great .. can’t wait for an update
drae voice with the deer video is what I needed thank you !
I took the day off and this was the best part of it. Thanks.
Played The Lion game from Sierra in my MS-DOS days in 90s, haven’t seen anything else like that until now.
45°С
Omg. How deer are alive and runnin'😂 it's insanely hot
“So…I think I should just kill Fred.” 😂
If you like this game you should try WolfQuest
Finally, a game that can replicate animal movement. I really don't understand why it's so damn hard for them to do.
It might be the first game I've seen that has smart lighting, if you go inside cave it's not absolutely dark and you can actually see something
Unless it wasn't game but Drae doing that
Bro, you just got catfished😂 2:02
9:06 duuuuude im crying laughing over here ! brilliant
“FEIONA FRANK GET OUT IF HERE GO GO GO”😂😂😂😂
“Can you guys move I’m trying to eat this damn bush” never related to anything more
Neat concept but has a long way to go. Thanks for the early review of it.
i havent laught this much in a couple weeks, thanks for the amazing gameplay and commentairy

Hey Drae supermarket sim came out with a decent update check it out!
You’ve opened my eyes to some absolutely amazing games I never even thought existed 😂
Deer will chew on bones for calcium and other things besides eating grass. So honestly not that weird to pic up crab if it's available.
Haha Draeeee been time my man cant wait to sit down with my coffee and BLT and watch this
Im honored you named a deer after me 💜
He sound like “lates game it out” but more enthusiastic haha

You know the deer with your voice it's kind of silly i just laughed so much hahaha.
This remind me of those old simulator games I played 😃 Maybe I should get this one too, for nostalgia
I feel like it was a missed opportunity with the intro. Could've said 'Well hello there everybody, Drae deer...' :P
Yeah i love this, i will be getting this.
100 Bucks says drae is going to break this game 🤣

dude. I MUST BUY THIS GAME WHEN ILL GET THE GAMING LAPTOP!
I really hope you make more of this game
Bro got me with the snapping leg 😂
"realistic fall damage" yep totally realistic lmao x'D
Drae has the survivor instinct of a deer
Everyone knows deer are just overgrown rats, except not as smart.
This game is nailing realism.
The title of "Lame Deer" had me hooked.
“Did Fred just commit suic!d?…..oh I didn’t see that there”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂BRO JUST COMPLETELY FORGOT ABT FRED😭😂💀
you sound like let's game it out, also, cool video
