- Being a wolf is dangerous business. You have to stick your face right into the thick of it, biting animals that weigh three or or four times more than you do. Wolves can take a beating and survive -- but sometimes they get hurt. So, to represent that, beyond the damage and health system, we've been thinking about adding an injury system to the game for a long time. But the question has always been how to make injuries into good gameplay. Having just a random change of getting an injury, and a penalty to an attribute, doesn't seem fair (even though that's realistic).
We mulled over this, periodically, for a couple years, and then, last summer George came up with the idea of injury tiers: You can get a minor injury any time, with a small penalty, and then, while you have that minor injury and before it heals, you have a chance of getting a major injury. So once you have a minor injury, you must decide how much risk you want to take on, given your current situation. This adds a nice element of risk and reward for player tactics.
So we refined that into what we've now built in the game. At any time, when taking damage, there's small of getting a minor injury. If you do, that injury stresses your body (and perhaps you're compensating a bit for it), so then you're at risk of getting a major injury, which has a much bigger penalty. Both kinds of injuries heal -- minor heals faster than major, of course, and both heal faster when your health is high. To keep track of your injuries, we've revised the Pack Info layout so you can see exactly what's going on: what kind of injuries you currently have, and what effects they have.
Most injuries don't have a physical manifestation, but major leg injuries do -- which means we're bringing back Limpy! In WolfQuest 2.7/Classic, Limpy was based on a real Yellowstone wolf who had a permanent limp. But wolves also get injuries which cause temporary limps, and that’s what we are representing in this new injury system. And now you can get a leg injury and thus a limp on any leg (not just the rear right leg, like the original Limpy).
This new injury system is coming in the next patch (probably in several weeks) along with a new DLC pack featuring cosmetic injuries (and ten new coats)! Stay tuned for more about that! - เกม
This game just keeps getting better and I thought that was impossible- this looks amazing! Ngl it looks really cute
Looks so goofy I LOVE IT
Exactly
Is that a wof pfp
@@windjager2177 ...maybe

I would suggest having injury chance scale with game difficulty. So, very rare on easy, closer to real-life injury rates on realistic
This system will stay constant but many other things affect the difficulty.
@@WolfQuestGame Im glad because I really want to be able to experience it a lot! (I play on easy because im already stressed enough haha.)
@@-dusty_butterfly- glad to hear that someone else also plays on easy! Anything above it stresses me out and predator attacks make me anxious and I end up breathing kind of hard and my heart starts beating so I stay on easy to limit the attacks of predators
I’m doing my first iron wolf, it’s been going good so far
I am really excited for the injuries, especially the limp! :]
@@sarah9850 Ive been taking a break from (single player) wolfquest for a bit because I’ve already been overwhelmed lately and I don’t need to worry about my digital puppies lol, but I plan on returning once this update goes out! (Wish me luck XD)
@@-dusty_butterfly- I play on accurate cause I'm apparently a masochist lol
This game is just incredible! Every time I think it can’t get better it just does. By far this is my favourite game.
i know! they really want this game be as realistic as they can make it, and it truly shows
I wonder if your wolf has more strength, the less likely they will get a major injury! Also maybe depending on what stage of life they’re in. Older/very young wolves may get Injured more than a wolf in their prime
older wolves being more prone to injury makes sense, i wouldn't mind that addition
I think a wolf with more strength would not be less likely to get a major injury, since that's just their damage output / how strong their jaws are / how much muscle they have. That buff may be more likely for the health stat, since the health stat increases how tough your wolf is and how much damage they can take. If they did include a feature like that, they'd need to add an advantage to the other stats as well otherwise the stats for wolves would be unbalanced.
Looks cute, MIGHT be annoying sometimes. But I do really love how the game is getting more and more realistic. Keep up the great work!
Not me dropping everything to watch this
*Gasp* Limpy’s baaaaack! As a cosmetic and a gameplay mechanic, this game just keeps getting better and better
I like this game even more every time something realistic, challenging is added!!!!
I think my heart just stopped
I think this would be really neat to come with a scarring system, as well
Any time your wolf gets injured, it has a chance of scarring and becoming a permanent mark on your wolf
Of course, I'm not sure how easy or difficult that would be to implement. But it sounds like a neat idea.
Scars are a different technical challenge that we may tackle someday but we are not working on that right now.
YES I MISSED LIMPY
Also injuries will be so cool
I just want to say something.. I know you might not read this comment but I have been playing wolf quest since I was itty bitty this game means a lot to me. It’s what inspired me in biology and in hopefully becoming a scientist. Your work is amazing! And I love how your teaching the world about the amazing life in Yellowstone as well as the food chain and just Life! I hope this game will be around for generations to come and I appreciate the work you and your team are putting into making this.. keep up the good work - sincerely, Addison
Aw! Thanks so much!
One of my wolves back in 2.7 had a limpy leg from being a reckless adolescent and always getting into trouble during hunts so it’ll be nice to have her actually have it in AE
My wolf back in classic, named Bloodfur, had her leg run over in a car accident. She lived in lost river, and was my strongest/best wolf!
I love this! I'm really hoping one of these days minor injuries may have a chance to scar or major injuries be permanent.
Scars are a can of worms that we aren't tackling right now. Even though it would be cool.
@@WolfQuestGame can you get minor and major injuries anywhere or is it fixed to minor jaw injuries and major leg injuries? And also, what’s the one on the body? Might try and see what all of the injuries are once they’re out
The WolfQuest Team has amazed me over the years ever since the first game came out and after that they started working on Anniversary Edition. 🤩
YOOOO, this looks great so far. This makes the game so much more fun to play and more dangerous to hunt, I use to stock bull elk carcasses and now I’ll have to be so much more cautious when hunting. Also, what if you add a bleeding system? If you bite a elks leg, neck, Etc hard enough maybe the elk will bleed until it rests and stops being attacked or the elk or wolf is dead.
I am not sure if that would happen because it is a family friendly, but I suppose it would be a nice feauture for higher gore settings.
@@KittenSneezee yeah.
@@KittenSneezee I dont mean for the blood be visible.
That would be great, would the elk receive some amount of damage when they are bleeding? While the feature would be cool, I feel like it could be pretty annoying since the same features would have to apply to player wolves for the game to be more realistic- so if you're bitten by another wolf or bear then you'll be losing 1% damage every couple seconds.
@@HellhoundsHunt maybe 1-2% damage is dealt every 5-10 seconds based on how much health your wolf has
This looks incredible, and I adore how realistic you are all trying to make this game! I'm genuinely excited for the challenge! *Applause* I do have a couple questions, if you don't mind! I know that the player and your mate can get injured, but what about rival wolves? Can they also cause injury to the player? Can the player injure rival wolves? I have felt recently that rival wolves do an unfair amount of damage to compensate for their AI (which I think their AI is pretty good, or maybe I just need to get better at the game), so I suppose I'm concerned that with their current ratio, and if they can inflict injury to the player, they may become a bit overpowered. Again, I'm VERY excited for this, I'm just seeking to understand if this is something I need to look out for and possibly just avoid stranger wolves altogether. Thanks in advance for any response and all the love that goes into this game!
Came back from school, saw this, and audibly gasped. WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS AAAAUGH
I feel like this is gonna be challenging :‘3 But I‘m still so excited and I love how the game keeps evolving!
Definitely 😎
Ikr, its poggers. 🐺
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
After what felt like forever, limply has returned! Truly one of my favourite games out there. WolfQuest has come so far, and I can’t believe that it’s been four years since WQ3 came out!
It seems whenever I think this game couldn't get any better, the devs just come up with something beyond imagination.
An limp is something I'd always loved from WolfQuest 2.7, and I've missed it, honestly. But I had no doubt that it would be back but this is far past my expectation.
An injury is something naturally occurring in the wild and I love that devs aren't afraid to add something this ambitious, risky, and rage inducing (yes, I can see myself already raging at getting a limp) to the game.
I can't wait to see what else comes to WolfQuest, making it even more realistic
About what you said about your wolf starving to death if he had two broken legs/wasn't able to hunt, yea that's very, very true. I was lucky enough to get to go to Africa last summer and we went on a safari in Southern Africa outside Krugar national park (which was just beyond incredible). One night there we witnessed a pride of lionesses harassing a male lion (to try and keep him away from their cubs) who, like in the video, had a broken leg. We actually saw a legitimate lion skirmish that night (different groups chasing each other around, *lots* of roaring and a few blows exchanged), but our guide did tell us that sadly, the injured lion would die from his wound. He said that if a lion was able to eat he could basically recover from anything, but this lion couldn't hunt (and they weren't allowed to interfere) and would, sadly, die.
Wow! That must have been amazing to see!
It really was!
LIMPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
In my head I thought "Some people will probably thing a wolf being able to run -almost- at full speed would be unrealistic" so imma make a probably unnecessary comment, but it's there for anyone lol
Our German Shepherd had cancer in one of his back legs and never let it touch the ground. He could still outrun all of us and bolt around the yard like he was on something, so it is perfectly plausible ^w^
Yes, our neighbors have a cat with three legs. Seeing him streak across their yard is adorable!
The cancer was actually a dog version of crack, LOL (joke btw.). And I hope he is doing awesome! ^^
I would love to see prey have a small chance for these types of injuries too- but you can only tell by watching them before going in and attacking. That way it encourages players to look before running in and just targeting a random elk.
LOVE your idea!!
Yeah!
Y
E
S
FROM ME.
I totally don't just run in and target a random elk.
I remember a long time ago you said it would be hard to implant this, and you most likely wouldn’t, but now here it is! Awesome.
Gosh- if we can get injuries by elk, imagine the amount of injuries we can get from stranger wolf attacks!!! LOVE IT!!! I’m guessing that other animals you’ll attack also will give you higher chance of an injury. Such as getting swiped by a bear, or even kicked by a moose
When injured is your mate more likely to go out and hunt and mark territory, it would be super cute to have the mate step up when you're stuck at the den!
You won't be stuck. You can still get around.
@@WolfQuestGame I mean figuratively, as it would be unsafe to go out and hunt without risk of further injury
Omg this is incredible! Tbh I wasn’t expecting you guys to put in injuries at all because of how complex it would be with all the animations. It’s not really necessary but the fact that you felt like you should just to add that but of realism is just insane! Wolf Quest has become one of my most played games and I can’t wait for what’s next!
Question: Would it be possible to get scars during gameplay? Say when we’re fighting off predators and we get hit, our wolf can get a scar from that injury that stays with them for the rest of the game. You don’t have to do this (you’re already doing so much), but I think it would be cool.
Me and a few other players in MP were talking about how much we missed the Limpy cosmetic feature a few days back. The timing of this was simply amazing
Yooo this looks so awesome! I love the extra risk factor! I love a good challenge, and with this new risk, I’m hoping that it will be even more of a challenge! xD
Very excited about the new DLC pack! New coats AND cosmetic injuries!? Epic! Keep up the good work!
I agree! Excited to see the new coats and injuries!
Saw this in my recommendations and man so many memories of the beta of wolf quest, I am happy to see this still going
Definitely buying the cosmetic injuries pack! It's amazing how you keep making the game better and better so you deserve all the support you can get
As someone who played the first game relatively close to when it was released, I am amazed by the skills you and your team have built through the process of making these games.
Thanks!
Oh my goodness how can the Game still be getting better after so many years this is just amazing and i cant believe that limpy will be returned I've been missing at limp I mean I never got to use in 2.7 cos I never managed to buy the DLC for it but I was always hope it would come to wolf Quest 3. But I am really worried now Because i have a wolf Bruno who just loves to get himself into trouble and I know that for most of his game plays he's just going to be limping away, all four of his legs would probably break i wouldn't be surprised if he was dragging himself because he's been getting so many injuries that this is just amazing and I love how they've added it in so that it occurs like it would in the wild properly instead of Us adding it into whichever wolf we please I absolutely love it thank you so much wolfquest team. We all love you and hope you have a lovely easter!💕🥳
I'm so excited! I've been playing off and on since the original WolfQuest was released, and I am so incredibly thrilled to see the growth and improvement in this game.
Keep up the amazing work!
YESSS!! I remember asking for this for my friend who’s wolf had a Limpy leg in 2.7!! I’m so glad we’re getting cosmetic injuries in general back as well!! I love the whole injury system as well omg, it’s so well thought out!!
3:25 yeeeeesssss! Just what I was hoping for in the last video.
In wolf quest I just watched an eagle swoop down and take a hare, amazing game and I love how much it’s progressed through the years
Nice! That is a rare thing to see.
Yooooo! This is gonna make things really interesting 👀
AYEEEEE! Hi Jay! I remember watching your wolf quest vids!
@@traumavulturee ;-;
woah! this is amazing! i would love to see this go really in depth, since, the game gets a bit repetitive at times and i think this would spice it up a little. however, i've played games where they have a system and you could fall wrong and be limpy for a bit. and it was constant. if you were chasing another player and they went down a hill and you went down a hill at top speed (there were a lot of hills) then it becomes annoying. but i think you guys are gonna just straight up nail it! good luck on the tweaking!
I am so, so excited for this- Very excited for the DLC, and very excited about the new challenge this brings! I'm sure this will enrich gameplay quite a bit, and I wish y'all luck on refining it. Love the work the team has been doing, and thank you George for the idea! :D
Limpyyy!!! Thank you so much, this looks like a fun addition and makes you think a little more cautiously!
I love your game so much and can’t wait until I can play it. I saw someone post about their pup holding a hat? So adorable XD. Keep up the amazing work.
This game just keep adding more and more things I didn’t even think I needed! This looks amazing!
Omg u guys work so hard thank you so much! This game gets 40000000x better every time you release an update! I'm so excited to see what else happens!!!
Lol coming off a bit too energetic sorry
I feel like I say this every time, but this game just keeps getting better and better when I think it's already the best! You guys are so talented! I loved hearing the insights on how the dev(s) developed the injury system over a period of time and how much work is put into even the smallest of details! All of you from the dev team deserve all the love you're getting for this, and so much more! I can't play WQ:AE, although I still watch all of the devblogs because it's just so beautiful and intricate. (sorry if I made any run-on sentences throughout, I tend to rant sometimes ;-;)
Every time I think this game tops it off with a new amazing feature, something else just keeps coming! I’m so glad I’m able to play this game for as long as I have, and will most likely never put it down. Great work you guys!
i was on the verge of an anxiety attack (for unrelated reasons) and as soon as i saw a new wolfquest video all my anxiety dissipated. i love wolfquest.
also cant wait to see what the new cosmetic pack that's coming out!
Same though, I was crying and this video helped me calm down. WolfQuest and the WQ devs FTW
WOOOOOO!!!
MORE UPDATEZZZ
This game gets more and more immersive with every patch and I’m LOVING it! Keep up the awesome work!
This is such an amazing idea!! I’m about halfway through reading The Rise of Wolf 8, and reading about how these wolves hunt and the major risks they face when doing so is so thrilling and nail biting at the same time! I’m excited to see those same dangers implemented into the the game, you guys are awesome!!! Can’t wait to see more :)
Love that book!
This is amazing! I can't wait to see all the other updates these keep on getting better and better love the work and limpy looks so cute! sad that I would have to get hurt for it haha
Oh, I love you. Honestly, every video that's about new features or future updates are just the best. I've never loved a game and its developers to this extent.
This game gets better and better every time I watch a blog for updates! I'm so excited for SAGA to come out, and I am getting every DLC in the game soon
This game is so underrated! I admire all the work you guys put into this game.
can we just appreciate how much care and love you put in the details-
Back in the day when I played WQ Classic a lot, I wanted to see my wolf get injured and now it came true!
And also “classic” limpy leg looks funny and cute :3
I also wonder can you mate get injured?
Yep they can
I would hope this would be a good way to also teach caution for players (because a lot of them will throw themselves at bison and get killed). Like hunting a bull elk would be more likely to injure you than a calf or low health cow elk. Maybe hunting with packmates could also help a little, encouraging teamwork rather than downing half the herd solo. Obviously injuries can still happen, but it’s also a good way to encourage some gameplay elements.
If there were bison in 2.7 I would ram my wolf into a bison and get killed, luckily that would have been years ago :')
This game and team is so incredible. Never thought I’d be so obsessed. Thank you for this game ❤️
Ooooo my idea came to life holy cow it looks amazing :000 what an excellent job and a great addition for more realism!
Yes PLEASE! I've played this game for a decade and accurate is no longer a challenge to me anymore, having this will be AMAZING for making wolfquest truly challenging again for me!
I've never seen such a realistic game! I swear, you're doing an incredible job!
Aaahh how exciting!!! I knew they were going to bring back Limpy at some point but I didn't think they'd go above and beyond and add a whole injury system, that's an awesome surprise
WHO ELSE'S FAVOURITE SKIN IN 2.7 WAS LIMPY?! I PLAYED AS LIMPY ALL THE TIME!!! Hopefully I can buy AE for my birthday this year, it's just so amazing, and the work you all put into it, I can't thank this team enough.
Nothing is awesome without a challenge! WolfQuest has been my main star in the many games I play, and I'm so happy to see it evolve this much!
Hopefully we don't see the last of it, but we see the best of it for the following years to come. Thank you again, WolfQuest! 🥰
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this since I started playing wolfquest.
These look so cool! Can hardly wait to see what the new coats and injuries look like!
I am so happy that you brought back Limpy. He was a great wolf and I'm glad to see him be represented in the game. I love the injury system
You know what would be cool? If you could grow up multiplayer wolves. Me and my Irl friend play wolf quest together sometimes, and we hate making the pups from multiplayer, because we don't know what the coat will look like. Me and I bet a lot of other players will like that. Another cool thing would be that you could add the pup only coats to a DLC pack or make them less rare. My dream coat is the black Pup only coat with the brown smudge on its muzzle. Amazing game!
Woo! This was a big pet peeve of mine for the game so I'm very glad you fixed it!
Honestly, this game is probably one of the best out there- these are insanely Incredible with there talent, honestly, keep it up, I won't stop playing this game 🐺 WolfQuest is one of those games I don't get sick of!
This is epic! With every update wolfquest just keeps getting better and better! I think the injury system is a great idea!!
This game just keeps getting better and better! This will definitely make players think about hunts before attempting them much like a wolf in the wild I low key missed the limp from 2.7 glad it will be back!
This is going to make it so much harder and accurate and I love it! Can't wait to try it out!
I love this so much! This is such a cool update!
Cannot wait for this! I always wondered if limping would come back and im so glad it has!
I'm excited for that! Wolfquest keeps on improving, and i just love it! I'm hoping to play it again soon since i'm getting a new computer.
i love this idea so much, very exciting! though i think it would make more sense and be more immersive if the major injury was applied to the location where the minor one was, to show it was damaged even worse by the continued activity, thats what i expected at first, or at least maybe the chance of the major injury being applied there could be much higher? Regardless its a really cool thing to have in the game. We really appreciate the care and thought yall put into this game, i cant wait to see what you have coming!
Just when I think I've mastered the game. Haha great job! I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.
Wow! The new injury system looks so cool and realistic! I thought it could be cool if there could be a higher chance for the older wolves (7+ in age) to get injuries more often because their bodies are older.
Yellowstone researchers have found that older wolves are also smarter about when they engage in dangerous activities so it balances out.
I love this so much!! I was hoping something like this would be put into the game! It just makes us so much more realistic!! Keep doing what your doing and make this game better and better!! 💕💕💕😄
❤️❤️❤️
This is definitely my favorite game out of all the games I play. I like animal simulation games but I always had the same problem, it wasn’t realistic at all, but then I found this and love that you keep it as realistic as possible while still being enjoyable to play. Just all around, amazing game.
Oh nice, someone else who likes animal survival games. They’re probably my favourite type of game
I love how you guys keep adding so many fun features to the game, always makes me wanna come back and play more! :) A suggestion though. Say if your wolf gets injured and stays at the den more to rest maybe then the mate can bring food to the den for you? Like a hare or a meat chunk. Mates already go off and do hunts solo be it hares or bigger prey so maybe that's something you could add so your wolf doesn't starve if injuries could get worse later. On that note can mates also get injured?
Yes, mates can get injured.
I would suggest on the Accurate mode, some injuries can be permanent *AND* even more major injuries that can only happen to your mate or pups in both Challenging and Accurate mode (or just Accurate), for example a back injury that can be pretty similar to Briarlight, a character from Warrior Cats (idk how to explain it otherwise haha). So If its your mate, they will just not be able to hunt until it heals. If its your pup, they will just be slow and a very high change they died before or very early after reaching adulthood. Thanks for reading and have a nice day/night. (Enjoy the next 24 hours of the day XD)
I was actually really hoping for an update like this! Very interesting.
Omgosh!!! I was thinking about along today but this makes me want to play even more!!! So excited
Wow, this is so exciting! And that limping animation is somehow so satisfying??
Wow, this system looks amazing!
WOW! THIS GAME IS SO REALISTIC! I AM SO PROUD OF YOUR WORK!!!
love the realism with this game, and how it keeps things interesting! i personally find challenge to make a game all the more exciting, so an update like this is something i've been hoping for for a long time. thank you for the heart and thought put into this game!
a suggestion: the limp animation bothers me just a little, with how the leg is constantly raised. perhaps in the future, it could be added to the animation to where they can walk on that leg slightly (like a skip in the animation?). Other than that, I think the limp and it's animation is wonderful! thank you
Thanks. There are lots of nuances to being injured that aren't represented with the animations but we'll keep feedback in mind if we are able to add more.
I’m so excited about this! Anything that gives the game an extra challenge is awesome
I've been following the original WolfQuest since I was 11 years old... now 20 years old, its amazing to see how far it's come.
This is something I've been so excited for. I think even one of my first questions involving anniversary edition was if the limp will be back.
Bit of a suggestion/question thing. If a pup were to get grabbed by a bear or cougar, could they have the chance of getting an injury? I honestly think this would be rather interesting to see. Along with this (referring to the DLC here), if a pup gets an injury, maybe there could be a small chance were that an injury can turn into one if the cosmetics when they become adult.
While that would be cool, it would require a lot more work so not something we have on our list right now.
it just keeps getting better and better every timeee bro
Yess!!! I missed Limpy so much when AE came out; so glad he's comming back!
Yess thank you!!! I've wanted this for so long!! Now my dirt boy, Mange, with the lowest possible stats, can live a realistically hard life!!
I was wondering where Limpy had gone! Now I know why! I’m excited for this new injury system that adds a whole new layer of realism!(and prolly alot of save reloading in the event I have injured myself).
