One of our associates was hacked on Discord, and the attacker, impersonating them, convinced Guuii to visit their Itch.io page and download a build for playtesting. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a rootkit, a malicious program designed to steal a user's online identity and login credentials. As a result, Guuii's Discord account is now under the attacker's control. It is crucial that you block and report any message sent by Guuii (Kimochiiii#4335) if you have him in your contacts, as the attacker is using this account to scam more individuals.

The core issue is that our community Discord server has also been compromised, with the attacker gaining complete control and removing admin privileges from everyone except themselves. We are unable to manage the server in any way. We have submitted a support ticket to Discord, but frankly, we cannot afford to wait for a response. Consequently, we have created a new server that will serve as our primary community Discord server moving forward.

We urge everyone to leave the old server and join the new one HERE. If possible, please share this information on the old server to alert others promptly. Although the hacker may ban you for doing so, it is best to leave that server anyway. Since text posts containing keywords like "hack" might be getting auto-deleted quickly, you can share an image instead, like the one attached to this post

You might be concerned about the impact of this incident on the development of Wild Life. Rest assured, game development proceeds according to plan, with most of our developers continuing their work as usual. Our Patreon and other social media platforms appear unaffected since they were not connected to the compromised computer during the attack.

Users on the old Discord server should remain safe as long as they do not download anything or click on any links sent by others - even those who appear trustworthy may not be. Please be extra cautious.

We sincerely apologize for this situation and aim to resolve it as swiftly as possible. We are grateful for your invaluable support of this project and look forward to continuing our service to you in the future.
