I can't wait for WolfQuest 3! I absolutely love wolves and want to be a wolf researcher when I am older! (Though being the female next David Attenborough is first! Wolves I can research after retirement!) I am looking forward to it and cannot wait! We'll back you guys up all the way, you've come so far.
I’m honestly glad you didn’t listen to either the sensitive “Oh the kiddos will be serial killers if the wolves don’t just frolic around happily the whole game” or the (let’s be honest) DeviantArt community and just stuck to your priorities of making it as realistic as possible, I have had high respect for you guys to essentially not make this game another Feral heart and make it something different.
Shadow Wolfess I agree 100 percent. Played Feral Heart and love it still, it took up like three years of my childhood, but WolfQuest has come this far by sticking to what it is, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
BluCat Exactly, and there are very few games with equal quality like Wolfquest. I can’t wait for WQ3 and towerfall. I remembered getting so much nostalgia from when I was 8 when they announced WQ2.7 and the steam release
WolfQuest has been such a big part in my life and I've poured countless hours into playing it alone and with friends! It's such an amazing game and has gone through so much since it started! This documentary will bring back so many memories of past experiences and I'm really happy that the game still has a lot of support!
This game is EVERYTHING I've ever wanted to see in an animal game. Realistic, fun, adventurous, challenging, and just an overall awesome game. 100% looking forward to the future of this game :)
I still remember the day I first downloaded WolfQuest.. I was so excited to play I “forgot” to remind my parents I had horseback riding lessons that morning and ended up not getting to go anymore.... I still LOVED the game though. I can’t wait to see it get even better with WolfQuest 3 ^-^
Eduweb are some of the most humble, grateful, and honest developers out there, and they remain dedicated to perfecting their trade. A+ all the way around.
Wolf quest was the first ever computer/PC game I ever played. I've played it ever since 2014, when I was 9. I loved this game so much, I would want to play it for hours nonstop. Of course, as the game developed, I began to want to play it whenever I got the chance. I would love taking my wolves on adventures, making up stories in my head as I played, doing single character RP (I know, I'm very lonely XD) giving them all unique backstories, and personality. Now in 2014, the game didn't have as many features as the WolfQuest now, but I still loved it. When WQ 2.7 (I think) came out, I was hyped up to play once again, since it was a long time since I last did. Sadly, it didn't work on the computer it was previously on, so we moved it to the new one. I played for 2 hours straight. In 2014, a few months after I got Wolfquest, I heard of FeralHeart, which was similar to WQ. those were the only two games I had, so I played them both frequently. Eventually as the years went on I came across more animal games and now in 2018, I have 7 animal multiplayer games. Wolfquest became very distant from me, I didn't play it as much anymore. I had only played it a few times out of each month. But, when I saw the videos for WQ 3, listened to some of the soundtracks, and watched my old videos, my love for this wonderful game began to grow once again. And now I play it a little bit more than before. Thank you to the creators of Wolfquest and to everyone who helped make this absolutely BEUTIFUL and realistic game that I have loved for years. I swear, Wolfquest will never leave my heart.
I'm sitting in my mom's university computer lab, looking up good animal games. I come across a website saying the top animal games, and WolfQuest caught my attention. I looked it up, watched videos, and went onto their website. This was when WQ was in 2.5. I come home with my mom and I show my mom WolfQuest, excitedly, and we ended up buying it. I was so happy. I went by the username ravenpaw46, with a black Wolf named Raven. And I played and played for hours. I loved it. Then 2.7 came out. I was ecstatic. I bought it, went by the user cocobean46, and it's still installed on my computer. That's how I discovered this incredible game, and I still love it to this day. I can't wait for WQ 3! There's so much dedication and effort put into it. Thank you for making this awesome game!
Haidyn Loves Wolves Seriously, same on the gore thing (I did dream of wings at one point...). I showed the game to my grandma once and ate an elk carcass in it, she thought that was so much gore and I was like, "um... it's just a red texture."
I never vilified animals hunting for survival. Because I had grown up with Wild Kratts on PBSkids. Which was a show that taught people about animals. Very well in fact. And whenever they centered an episode on a predator they always showed them hunting and said “yeah, that’s just how they live”. So it baffled me to know that some people don’t like how animals hunt to survive. Even though it’s entirely necessary. Not just for their survival but for the ecosystem’s as well.
I just got into my choice college, hoping to get a degree in animal science and specializing in wolf biology. I credit the original game with opening my eyes to my passion as a little kid. And I continue to enjoy WQ3 to this day- I can’t wait for Tower Fall, even if it comes out after I start getting busy with college. :)
I remember getting into these games back in 2010 (Pretty sure) where I would of been around twelve years old... At the time, I know I wouldn't have been very understanding. (Purple fur and jewelry, oh my gosh i'm laughing. x'D) But with age, I have to admit Wolf Quest had taught me quite a lot about wolves. With High School teaching me the pains of coding and how to respect video game developers. I'm now a young adult who even still plays Wolf Quest from time to time, and though i'm not a moderator, admin, whatever, I still like to help guide our new, younger members of the community. I may not be some old wolf soul lingering around but I do know I've been around for some time and I'm thankful for that you guys. ;3; You even made a come back when I thought Wolf Quest was dying not long after weather and resting was introduced. I remember seeing the game on Steam and almost screaming "IT'S ALIVE!!!" in pure shock and excitement, realizing a core part of my childhood lives. I always wanted to work with animals, and sense video games has always been a large combo of mine... I gotta say Wolf Quest struck it rich. ;3; I also really appreciate that you all have experts from actual scientists, zoo keeps and other such people to actually work on Wolf Quest. You're not just some people going "Oh here's a wolf model, make them eat everything that moves, the ultimate wolf simulator where you run around and that's perfectly fine!" No, you made it so you're worried about bears and hungry little coyotes... The birds screech of warning IS a warning to act fast and pay attention. You don't get bored hunting but you have to work for it, etc. I'm glad you're continuing to build on this game and teach people about wolves, because every day this game exists, it leaves me in excitement for "What's next". ;3; Thank you to the entire team for this project, i'm glad you got the idea. (I even remember that little video about the kid saying they could smell elk! x'D) If you didn't, i'm not so sure I would know so much about wolves to this day, or even got an interest to learn more about them through other means. I may have only joined once Slough Creek had existed, but I like to think I still joined to see the game continue to grow massively. ;3; (No more black, tar water glitches.~ Instead we have Floppy whom the community knows and loves. < 3)
The game has come so far! From when there were countless glitchs like where you need to line up just right with the elk to eat to now where you can grow your pups up and maybe hunt with you! Congratulation on the achivement!
I remember finding the WQ website in 2008 when I was nine years old. I was so hooked and have been hooked since I first installed such a buggy, minimalistic, wildly entertaining and inspiring game on my dad's poor DELL laptop that could hardly handle TH-cam videos. I am currently eighteen years old and my love for wolves and WolfQuest has only grown since my childhood. It makes me so, SO happy to know WolfQuest still has life within it and probably will for many years to come.
Absolutely Amazing you guys have done an amazing job I love WolfQuest and I can't wait for WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition you guys have come so far and because of the game you guys have made me grow attached to wolves that I just cant stop talking about them. So thank you all so much for your time and effort that you have spent over the years, WolfQuest is Fantastic and incredible also I love Tim's music and everything ^_^
I'm so happy that the team is still together after all these years. This game is so nostalgic for me, I'm probably going to cry of joy once 3.0 is released. I thought this game had died Years ago ; ; after its last update
Wow you guys came a long way to make this happen...thank you all for making such a amazing game:) you guys were the ones who drew me to love wolves the way I do now thank you
OMG the developing of the game is crazy!! You turned everything beautiful in only 9 years! Its so cool and I adore wolves!! When i was 7 I played this game! I really love it and im proud that i support wolquest a lot!! Everyone appreciates that you put your hard work into something that everybody will truly love!!
I first heard of this game around 2010 or 2012, when I was only 10/12 years old back then. The nostalgia hit me hard when I finally stumbled upon Wolf Quest again, years later. What to say that isn't already said? WQ is a beautiful game; there's not much words to use for it, because every time I come back, log on to either Single Player or Multiplayer mode, it just stuns me to the point I'm speechless. It's been part of my childhood for longer than I realised and I'd poured a lot of time playing it, be it by myself or with my friends. It's developing really well since it first started, and it deserves more recognition and popularity. I pity those who yet to play this game, or even know about it; Wolf Quest is a true, hidden gem.
I always loved wolves but never met anyone else who did. If I had known about this game 11 years ago, my life would be extremely different. It's good to see that there is a community of wolf lovers who made this game thrive for this long. I just started playing it and it's been fulfilling the desire to put myself in a wolf's everday life. Thank you guys so much!
Incredible. The turbulences and hardships this game has gone through to get where it is now, from ridiculed to one of the best wild life simulators out there. Truly inspiring.
i've been following wolfquests since i was 9-10, five years now (coming close to 2018) and i can proudly say this game is what brought me to love wolves so much, and in fact, go to yellowstone and see for myself were did this game come from. this game is something i always come back to at the end. not the best graphics, not the best soundtrack, not the best "storyline", but certainly the best experience. at least in my eyes. keep doing a great job!
I found this video enthralling and can't wait for the rest! I first began playing WolfQuest when I was 12 in 2010 (Nukilik_Ulva). I had actually just begun gaining interest in online games and WolfQuest was the first one I came across. I made a few long-term friends on WQ and we played for a year or so. When the lexicon chat became more and more limiting, we moved on to other games. However, to this day we play WQ. I actually met my girlfriend, who I've been dating for five years now, on WQ back in 2010. She moved from Vermont to Texas so we could develop our lives together. Friends I made eight years ago I still keep in touch with, and care deeply about. WolfQuest, as silly as it may sound, has significantly shaped my life. Thank you guys, for everything you have done.
I've loved wolves since I was little and I knew that they killed. I have watched big cat diary since I was little and I have seen animals kill and eat each other so I came to terms with how animals work from a young age. So when I played the game I had a great time and thought that it was awesome and the elk carcasses didn't bother me at all. I'm 15 now and I discovered this game completely on accident a couple of years ago just looking up games online. And let me tell you that this is still my favorite game. I love this game and can't wait for WolfQuest 3.
i remeber when i was younger, watching people like seri pixel biologist and getting my parents to buy it for me aswell. i saw an article on school on this and saying “I play that game!” its been years and this game has come so far, its epic honestly
I love how this game always stays realistic. It’s not like other wolf sims. It’s real. It feels real. There are people who think wolves are demonic killers, and people who romanticize and sexualize them to the point where they become, well... something they’re not. The music is beautiful and iconic, and the gameplay is challenging and interesting. I’ve made some amazing friends trying the best I ever could to raise pups in bring it on mode.
I played WolfQuest when it First Came out. It was a Experience I Will never Forget! It taught me things About Wolves and Wildlife. I let my 5 and 9 year old Cousins play with with me and they Absolutely love it! You all did the Best!
Hello WolfQuest and other players! I have been playing since I was 9...I am now 16 years old, and I am so very happy to see that WolfQuest is beginning to grow more!! It’s insane! I have loved wolves ever since and this game has been a big part of my life, I am a Digital and Traditional artist on Instagram, I mainly draw wolves thanks to WolfQuest this game really got me more into these fantastic animals! Continue doing your best! I am so excited for future updates!!
This game absolutely shaped me into the person I am today and had a MASSIVE impact on both me and my two younger sisters. We joined the forums in 2010 and made so so SO many friends and acquaintances through off topic channels, RP packs, the writing channels, and more. I firmly believe that Wolf Quest played a major role in my decision to become an artist and my sister's decision to pursue writing. And as much as my parents grimaced at the carcasses in Wolf Quest, I really think it helped me develop a realistic relationship with animal death and the inherent nature of predator animals. I very recently got back into Wolf Quest and I am absolutely blown away by all the work that has gone into both 2.7 and the anniversary edition. I'm SO excited to see what the future brings for Wolf Quest, and I'll be cheering for the dev team from the sidelines!
It has been an age since i watched this video. Looking forward to the part 2 mentioned in the latest dev vlog. I do remember the old game well. It's transformation has been wonderful to see. I am very glad of the resilience of the team and that this game came to fruition. It will be one i remember for a long time to come for It's amazing team and the quality fun. I have spent many hours in the classic and in the anniversary eddition. It is truly a mark of your strong fan base that i came accross it pre demo as ingeneral at the time i had very little to do with the internet 😅 Congratulations on a job well done and overcoming all the hurdels 🎉
Great video, I'm very excited to see what's in store for future updates to this game. I can still remember playing WolfQuest on my old PC back in 2013. It's hard to believe it's been over four years since then. Once WolfQuest 3 is out, heck, you won't be able to deny that it's the best animal simulation on Steam. WolfQuest is, without a doubt, one of the very few good wildlife simulation games that have even been made, and considering that development started in 2005, it was way ahead of it's time at that point.
Let me just say that this game has gone SO FAR! I just can't believe it. I believe I got the Survival of the Pack version (I really sort of forget, my memory is kind of fuzzy), and I LOVED IT! I couldn't stop playing it. I would think about it during school and rush home to my second life. I didn't make friends easily and this was a sort of escape for me. I didn't find this on my own. If my friend hadn't shown me this game I would have never found it. While I was at this friend's house, she showed me the website, saying that it looked amazing, but her mother wouldn't let her download it because she thought it was a scam (she clicked the green download button, which was an ad for on the download page, and they got confused and downloaded a bug). I, looking at the website, reading the info, was shocked. This was amazing. Much better than the math games my mom had gotten for free on the iPad. I begged my mom to get it, and she did one day. I played the heck out of it. I died a few times. The only thing I was worried about what the bloody carcass, which I would quickly turn away from when one of my parents walked into the computer room. I was so terrified that they would think it was too violent and forbid me from playing it. But one day my dad walked into the room while I was fully emerged in the game, and saw the carcass I was devouring. I looked up at him, shocked and worried. He only smiled and said "Cool! Blood." My dad loves the wild and nature. To tell the truth, I have searched for simulator games, (other wolf games, dragon, cat, bird, you name it). None have the realism and time put into them to be a true simulator game. It was either the game was glitch, the graphics just didn't cut it, or the game play was just boring and unsatisfying. If WQ had died, I don't know what I would still be searching for the perfect animal simulation game to satisfy my fierce desire to become an animal (sense shapeshifting just isn't possible). Thank you, Wolf Quest team, for making it though those hard and stressful times, and for playing that fish game. :)
I am SO HAPPY you guys chose to make the game realistic! No purple fur, wings, or anything a wolf wouldn’t have in the real world. Finally a game that has realism
I remember finding this game around 2010-2011 during beta and I loved it and I'm going to be buying the full game in a couple days which I'm looking forward to, and I want to say that you've done such a great job on this game and I'm looking forward to what ever else you have in store for the future ;)
I love Wolfquest! This video makes me realize how hard you guys worked to make this remarkable game, I play it a lot and I can't imagine a world without Wolfquest. I've always loved wolves and this game brightened my love of wolves even more. Keep up the good work. (I know this comment is late but I just had to say thank you :3)
I can't wait for Wolf Quest Three! There is only one problem. I was going through my apps and I accidentally deleted WolfQuest! I download it again, but it won't let me log back into my account. I will keep trying to work with it, and I hope I'll figure it out before WQ3 comes out! If I ever figure it out, I'll definitely be on there. Besides this, I just want to say how awesome it is that you guys worked so hard to make this game. 👏 You all have done an amazing job! I'm very, very happy that you have made this amazing game. My favorite thing about this game is that it is very realistic. I have played almost EVERY wolf simulator game on my AppStore. I have been looking for a game like this forever! I was informed by a friend of how awesome this game was. Of course, once I realized that I did not have this game already, I downloaded it to try it out. I was purely amazed! I play it usually once a day or once every two days because I am addicted to playing it! 😋 Keep up the great work, because you're doing great! I have been suggesting this game to some of my friends in the 4H group, and I'm sure they'd love it too! The music is great, too. I used to leave my game open to listen to it for a bit XD
Thanks so much! You should be able to re-download the game, no problem. If you are still stuck, email info@wolfquest.org and provide details of your issue. If you are interested, you can purchase the full soundtrack and music extras: www.wolfquest.org/soundtrack.php
WolfQuest - Thank you so much for the help! I must have been really tired last night, because I looked at it again this morning and it was actually really easy to log back in! 😅 So now I'm back on, and I'm loving it as always!
I’m so glad you guys left out odd colored fur and jewelry to make it such a challenging, fun, educational, and realistic! Can’t wait for the next episode!
I'm a Swiftie and proud of "Wildest Dreams" Anyways, you've been improving this game a lot, and I'm here after WQAE has been updated a lot already! I'm coming back and watching all the videos in order to see your progress from years before. This game deserves a lot more attention!
As a long time player of WQ (started in 2011) WQ was a huge pillar in my adaptations to death (like loss and hunting), social behavior and respect for all living things. Learning to live and interact in different ways than normal made me grow as a person.
I was born Jan 11th, 9 days after the release of this game. I remember growing up with it and it was the first game I ever really got into. I remember drifting in and out of the community here and there along the way, but I always came back for the game. Now I’m introducing it to more people that I play video games with regularly, and some of them really enjoy it! I nearly lost my shit when I saw WQ3s first trailer. One person in particular that I’ve introduced after the WQ3 release has really taken to the game and we play around with the pups a lot, creating little wolf families. It’s a fun, chill game that can go from 0 to 100 really fast. No, it’s not the most beautiful ever, there are a lot of bugs and features I’d love to see in the game (maybe a DLC puphood chapter? Invading other packs to kill their pups? Maybe??) but it’s still gorgeous and it’s amazing to see just how far this game that I’ve loved literally my entire life has come.
Oh my god, this is so emotional for me! xD I remember fondly the end of 2007 when I first discovered WQ. I was looking up games about wolves using Google Images and one of them was of WQ. I followed it to a site where I found the real link to the WQ website and wanting to cry out of happiness!
I played when I was younger and remember the game developing and how I loved playing this game. I always loved wolves but this game made me appreciate them even more and actually did inspire me to learn so much more about them. Having bought the anniversary edition after a lot of years of not playing, and I'm glad to say the game is even better than I remember it being!!
I played the game when I was a kid. After awhile my computer crashed and I lost it. It was at the point where although I enjoyed it, I didn't think much else would come of it. You found your mate, started a family, and found the end point. That was the game last time I had it. Out of curiosity, after a few years, I one day checked the website again. And what do you know, "Wolfquest 2.7 out now." I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the game was not only still going strong, but evolving into something much more than what it was. Good on all of you guys for putting so much effort and time to make this game what it is. My thanks to the WolfQuest team for all the work and passion you all put in. Sorry for the long post, but I appreciate all the years of commitment you've all done. Again, many thanks to you all.
I remember finding your little teaser video that you made by accident on youtube and just.. My jaw dropped. I was so excited by the idea and when I found out it was free I flipped some serious shit. I was quick to download it on a very old very not game suited computer. It was so hard to play because the frame rate was soooo bad because of my comp. And I remember seeing that eventually there would be pups. And I just was so excited. But I didnt get to play it. Not until last year when I rediscovered the game and downloaded it from Steam. And then I found out about the development of WQ 3 and that was it. I now stalk your youtube every single day waiting for that weekly update and re watching old videos. You guys are great and even though im older now I still love the game. This new polish is going to make it even more of what I have always wanted in a simulation animal game.
I remember when I found Wolf Quest back in middle school. All was calm. I was scrolling and looking for animal simulators I had found iAnimal (Now gone) And I wanted more. Then I found Wolf Quest. My Mother was just relaxing while reading in the living room. Then like a freak thunder storm over the plains. "- IT'S REALISTIC! IT'S NOT A DUMB CARTOON! OH MY WOLF LOVING HEART!" Mother looks up as a burst into the living room with a wild look in my eyes. Little 7th grader me waving a paper around madly. "Do not come into the computer room. I'll be gone for the weekend!" Monday I crawled my way into my homeroom seat and then talked non stop about it. "I hunted for my pups and braved the cold nights....the howling winds that joined my rallies....." "Sneaking around the bears as they stole my kill.....SUDDEN HARES!-" At the time I wanted to do something with wolves when I got older. Not so sure anymore. But when I'm able to I'm going to get Wolf Quest again. *I feel the call feel within my marrow.....I shall harken back to the lands I once roamed....to join the wild hunt again....*
Canaaaaaaaa~ ♥ Still miss her presence, haha. Now that I've finished watching, I can attempt to express my thoughts though this might take a few edits seeing as it's so late here... This was a most interesting glimpse into the project's foundations. Dang... and I thought the traffic that Slough Creek generated back in the day was bad. Yikes! It's amazing to see how far WolfQuest has come as well as being harder still to believe it has been around for ten years, yet it is still going strong. For that I confess I am grateful. When the discontinuation was announced in late 2012 the realization that it was over was pretty overwhelming to me, yet there was also a hint of acceptance in that nothing lasts forever. To see it bounce back the way it did when Eduweb returned in 2014 was an unexpected surprise. Fast forward to the release of 2.7, I felt the familiar excitement that I had experienced the first time I ever played WQ. ^^ Even now I am eager to rediscover Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek in their "remastered" forms when the Anniversary Edition launches just as much as I am to purchase Tower Fall when it lands to finally resume the survival of each pack I have played in 2.7. To everyone in the current development team: you've done fantastically up to this point from the day Dave returned to take up the project's reins once again, and I can only hope that you continue to carry WolfQuest as far as it can possibly go. Take it as far as you possibly can while also reaching newer and greater heights together to make WolfQuest and indeed any future titles you might make the best they can possibly be. Like many others, WolfQuest is the reason I admire and respect wolves and other canids as well as their prey, and a deeper respect for nature which most likely would never have happened at all without it. Truly amazing what impact a game can have. //nostalgic rambling over Also that shockwave WolfQuest prototype(?)... _wow._ Glad you guys went with Unity/that Unity expanded in the way that it did to have been worthwhile/that you're still using Unity to continue developing this game. (Seriously, kudos!) It's been quite a nice trip down nostalgia road merging onto memory lane just watching this... it was a really nice touch adding game footage from past versions. Certainly looking forward to seeing the next part(s?)! 🐺 P.S. Forgive me for pointing this out: Croix is misspelled as "Croi". P.P.S: Forgive me for my tired ramblings, I am feeling extremely nostalgic. :')
Heh, nah it's fine - for me, it's just a consequence of keeping lists up-to-date to the point of becoming over familiar with them. Alas, gone too are the days of annotation notes...
I remember my grandpa reading about wolfquestin the newspaper and ssaved it for me because he knew I would like it. I miss that time in my life so much
seeing this 4 years later is just proves how much this game has improved! I grew up with this game and this game was my life. It makes me want to sometime visit yellowstone and research about wolves more.
Watching this three years later after WQ3 has already come out! This is so interesting! I never knew these things about like coding and y’know making a game! This inspired me and actually I’m working on a dog simulation game, finding my music and working on my designs! Good work WQ team!
I stumbled upon this game 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. It's so obvious the care and work put into it and I have never once felt bored playing WolfQuest. It is by far the pinnacle of animal simulators and I have never seen any other game do it even half as well as you guys. Thank you for giving us all such an amazing game and I wish you all a happy holidays!
"Not blood thirsty killers" *Joins server to see 75+ corpses.* *Hears they just killed another elk.* *Game crashes.* I feel like after a certain about of things killed, that the elk should stop spawning lol.
As soon as I played WQ during the 2.7 era, it took me some time to get used to the game, I was really frustrated with how the wolf courtship worked, so I had to get tutorials online, not only that I had absolutely no knowledge of wolves, but as I got better with the game, holy crud, this game changed my viewpoint on wolves more than I could imagine… it changed my life man, and I owe it to these competent developers that persevered through the gauntlet of educational wolf ecology computer game development! Or as they call it… WOLFQUEST! As of now I am enjoying the latest version of WolfQuest, the Anniversary Edition to celebrate this amazing game series, and I hope it lives on forever to educate our species on this important keystone species and how without them, the planet surely could take a darker turn.
i first got into this game in 2012.. so that feels like.. a lifetime hontestly. i was 10 around then, and well its changed my life. alot. growing up, i had a spiritual connection to a wolf, and wolfquest has opened that up every since. i even have a faux fur wolf tail, made to look almost exact as one of the wolf tail pelt designs in the game. and considering my connection was that of a wolf, i of course had my own wolf name which is Dawn, and my own personality, and ya know.. its just the wolf life i never had. considering i felt and still feel like i was born in the wrong body, that being of a human. so in a way, this game was alot different to me. it taught me to protect and prepare for the worst, its helped in alot of my life today as with relationships and protecting those i love. even if i do tend to act more wolf like than most would... that aside, this game was my absolute childhood. and tho the therian community may not be such a big fan of this game, im proud to call myself both that and a wolf quest player. i currently have 2.7 and im super hyped for both 3.0 and tower fall. not to mention that this is the one game that i can play where the game is realistic, and the players are realistic. i owe you guys a lot. the best part of this game, is you arent afraid to say no. this one time, while in a roblox game, it used to be realistic. you could play as a horse and it was alot of fun. but as it got noticed, there were demands for magical things and the game creators then completely changed. now the game is filled with pegasi, unicorns, and the map building has just gotten alot worst to us realistic players. thats one thing i admire about wolfquest, even if the requests may get the game alot more attention, you still shoot for that realism even if your game isnt as popular as it could be. the people who stick by even without these demand changes, are your true fans. and im here through you all the way. as long as thing game stays as realistic as it has been, im here for as long as i can be. (even tho this comment will probably never be read)
Don't worry, WolfQuest will stay a game about wolf ecology! We also appreciate that our players have all kinds of ways they play the game. Thanks for supporting WQ so we can keep improving it!
I gotta own it to this game why guts and gore doesn’t bother me anymore. But in all seriousness, I loved this game (and still do) and I’m so happy to see how WolfQuest 3 came out. It’s stunning, and I love it.
Make it in WolfQuest 3 that u can end up having your previous generations of wolves helping raise pups and creating a huge pack. Love the work that has been put into this.
Tigers.. You should make a game about Tigers.. Or birds sorry I just think like.. You've made this game amazing and awesome it would be amazing if you made games like it but for other animals x3
You guys made this sound so challenging and time-consuming. It's so impressive how you had the patience and determination to design it. It has improved so much and I remember being at the edge of my seat, watching intently as my mother downloaded it for me (because I was too stupid to know how lol) and when I got it time stopped. 😂
This is still one of my favorite wolf quest videos, next to the WQ3 announcement. Is there any chance we’ll see the other two chapters anytime soon, or is this like a “release after the new game is finished” type of thing?
This was an amazing chapter of WQ developing and the procedures you had to meet in order for this to launch!I can't explain how thankful I am today with WQ.
Gosh, you all are the best! Thank you so much- started playing 2.0 and 2.5 in 4th-6th grade and now I'm in 11th and loving 2.7 in the little free time I get. This game is timeless, just as the wolves are! Literally my childhood, I'm so excited for the new update! I'm so glad you're going to add tower falls- I remember my heart dropping the very first time I reached the rendezvous and came to the realization there was nothing after it. Can't wait!
And to think...WQ3 is coming out in about 2 hours!!!! I'm so proud of the WolfQuest team! You guys worked so hard and its finally about to happen! CONGRATS!
If you don't have this game, get it now!!! So amazing, and thanks to the developers for doing such an amazing job! Less than 24 hours after WQ3 and this is a must have! Nice to put a face on the voice of WQ3

WolfQuest CANT WAIT
WolfQuest Is the moose update on Moble yet?
WolfQuest make wolves poop
Andre Anderson Lol, why would you like them to poo?
“So wolfquest started with a fish.”
Excellent Analogy of the Game
I quite literally grew up with this game, it's insane.
Jester Hyhuahua me too, it was made in 2007 and I was born in 2006 xD
This game is older than me, I was born in 2008
Mm, a little too young for TH-cam,
Lol
This game is as old as me, like that's crazy
WHY IS THIS GAME NOT AS FAMOUS AS MINECRAFT
Because there is a very small number of players who like these kinds of games sadly. :(
the game needs more activity to do like minecraft has a unlimited amount to do
so pretty much keep people happy
Because WQ is better mine craft can't handle the comp
Mississippi WolfBlood minecraft is a waste of time. People are fuckin stupid.
Scourge {Tiny} I play it, its just boring now but it is good for wasting time :P
I’m honestly glad you didn’t listen to either the sensitive “Oh the kiddos will be serial killers if the wolves don’t just frolic around happily the whole game” or the (let’s be honest) DeviantArt community and just stuck to your priorities of making it as realistic as possible, I have had high respect for you guys to essentially not make this game another Feral heart and make it something different.
Shadow Wolfess I agree 100 percent. Played Feral Heart and love it still, it took up like three years of my childhood, but WolfQuest has come this far by sticking to what it is, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
BluCat Exactly, and there are very few games with equal quality like Wolfquest. I can’t wait for WQ3 and towerfall. I remembered getting so much nostalgia from when I was 8 when they announced WQ2.7 and the steam release
Same ^^ I was really happy to see it wasn't gone yet.
I don’t even understand it, you aren’t playing as a human hurting other humans even?
WolfQuest has been such a big part in my life and I've poured countless hours into playing it alone and with friends! It's such an amazing game and has gone through so much since it started!
This documentary will bring back so many memories of past experiences and I'm really happy that the game still has a lot of support!
I can definitely relate
"Why does there have to be killing and so much gore and blood?"
Um excuse me? What world do YOU live in?
I played the og game as a kid and not only didn't become violent but I still love wolves
This game is EVERYTHING I've ever wanted to see in an animal game. Realistic, fun, adventurous, challenging, and just an overall awesome game. 100% looking forward to the future of this game :)
The universe is a simulation ikr the best game I've ever playedddd
hope ur enjoying the new wolfquest -im from the future!
@@ravenstar1397 3 years later, still playing lol. Slough creek multiplayer is taking up most of my free time. :)
@@spicyykels2416 lol same
I still remember the day I first downloaded WolfQuest.. I was so excited to play I “forgot” to remind my parents I had horseback riding lessons that morning and ended up not getting to go anymore.... I still LOVED the game though. I can’t wait to see it get even better with WolfQuest 3 ^-^

Eduweb are some of the most humble, grateful, and honest developers out there, and they remain dedicated to perfecting their trade. A+ all the way around.
Wolf quest was the first ever computer/PC game I ever played. I've played it ever since 2014, when I was 9.
I loved this game so much, I would want to play it for hours nonstop.
Of course, as the game developed, I began to want to play it whenever I got the chance. I would love taking my wolves on adventures, making up stories in my head as I played, doing single character RP (I know, I'm very lonely XD) giving them all unique backstories, and personality.
Now in 2014, the game didn't have as many features as the WolfQuest now, but I still loved it.
When WQ 2.7 (I think) came out, I was hyped up to play once again, since it was a long time since I last did. Sadly, it didn't work on the computer it was previously on, so we moved it to the new one. I played for 2 hours straight.
In 2014, a few months after I got Wolfquest, I heard of FeralHeart, which was similar to WQ. those were the only two games I had, so I played them both frequently. Eventually as the years went on I came across more animal games and now in 2018, I have 7 animal multiplayer games. Wolfquest became very distant from me, I didn't play it as much anymore. I had only played it a few times out of each month.
But, when I saw the videos for WQ 3, listened to some of the soundtracks, and watched my old videos, my love for this wonderful game began to grow once again. And now I play it a little bit more than before.
Thank you to the creators of Wolfquest and to everyone who helped make this absolutely BEUTIFUL and realistic game that I have loved for years. I swear, Wolfquest will never leave my heart.
Tigg same here, I’ve played it since I was 9 in 2014
Wow dats long
I'm sitting in my mom's university computer lab, looking up good animal games. I come across a website saying the top animal games, and WolfQuest caught my attention. I looked it up, watched videos, and went onto their website. This was when WQ was in 2.5. I come home with my mom and I show my mom WolfQuest, excitedly, and we ended up buying it. I was so happy. I went by the username ravenpaw46, with a black Wolf named Raven. And I played and played for hours. I loved it.
Then 2.7 came out. I was ecstatic. I bought it, went by the user cocobean46, and it's still installed on my computer.
That's how I discovered this incredible game, and I still love it to this day.
I can't wait for WQ 3! There's so much dedication and effort put into it.
Thank you for making this awesome game!
As a kid, before I was in even 1st grade, I never found anything gory, or even thought about putting a necklace on the wolves 😂.. or purple fur 😜
:)
Haidyn Loves Wolves Seriously, same on the gore thing (I did dream of wings at one point...). I showed the game to my grandma once and ate an elk carcass in it, she thought that was so much gore and I was like, "um... it's just a red texture."
BluCat When I was convicing my mom to let me get the game when I was 12 I told her "it's not real blood, it's just red." XD It was never gory to me.
I never vilified animals hunting for survival. Because I had grown up with Wild Kratts on PBSkids. Which was a show that taught people about animals. Very well in fact. And whenever they centered an episode on a predator they always showed them hunting and said “yeah, that’s just how they live”. So it baffled me to know that some people don’t like how animals hunt to survive. Even though it’s entirely necessary. Not just for their survival but for the ecosystem’s as well.
I just got into my choice college, hoping to get a degree in animal science and specializing in wolf biology. I credit the original game with opening my eyes to my passion as a little kid. And I continue to enjoy WQ3 to this day- I can’t wait for Tower Fall, even if it comes out after I start getting busy with college. :)
Wow! Congratulations! And thank you for sharing how much WolfQuest influenced your life. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember getting into these games back in 2010 (Pretty sure) where I would of been around twelve years old... At the time, I know I wouldn't have been very understanding. (Purple fur and jewelry, oh my gosh i'm laughing. x'D) But with age, I have to admit Wolf Quest had taught me quite a lot about wolves. With High School teaching me the pains of coding and how to respect video game developers. I'm now a young adult who even still plays Wolf Quest from time to time, and though i'm not a moderator, admin, whatever, I still like to help guide our new, younger members of the community. I may not be some old wolf soul lingering around but I do know I've been around for some time and I'm thankful for that you guys. ;3; You even made a come back when I thought Wolf Quest was dying not long after weather and resting was introduced. I remember seeing the game on Steam and almost screaming "IT'S ALIVE!!!" in pure shock and excitement, realizing a core part of my childhood lives. I always wanted to work with animals, and sense video games has always been a large combo of mine... I gotta say Wolf Quest struck it rich. ;3; I also really appreciate that you all have experts from actual scientists, zoo keeps and other such people to actually work on Wolf Quest. You're not just some people going "Oh here's a wolf model, make them eat everything that moves, the ultimate wolf simulator where you run around and that's perfectly fine!" No, you made it so you're worried about bears and hungry little coyotes... The birds screech of warning IS a warning to act fast and pay attention. You don't get bored hunting but you have to work for it, etc. I'm glad you're continuing to build on this game and teach people about wolves, because every day this game exists, it leaves me in excitement for "What's next". ;3;
Thank you to the entire team for this project, i'm glad you got the idea. (I even remember that little video about the kid saying they could smell elk! x'D) If you didn't, i'm not so sure I would know so much about wolves to this day, or even got an interest to learn more about them through other means. I may have only joined once Slough Creek had existed, but I like to think I still joined to see the game continue to grow massively. ;3; (No more black, tar water glitches.~ Instead we have Floppy whom the community knows and loves. < 3)
The game has come so far! From when there were countless glitchs like where you need to line up just right with the elk to eat to now where you can grow your pups up and maybe hunt with you! Congratulation on the achivement!
Who’s here from July 2019 counting down the days till WQ 3.0?
Such a good work!
Wolfquest is like my childhood for me, I am really excited for the released date of wolf quest3
Dave:”so wolfquest started with a fish-“
Me: ALL HAIL TO THE FISHES!
I remember finding the WQ website in 2008 when I was nine years old. I was so hooked and have been hooked since I first installed such a buggy, minimalistic, wildly entertaining and inspiring game on my dad's poor DELL laptop that could hardly handle TH-cam videos.
I am currently eighteen years old and my love for wolves and WolfQuest has only grown since my childhood. It makes me so, SO happy to know WolfQuest still has life within it and probably will for many years to come.
Absolutely Amazing you guys have done an amazing job I love WolfQuest and I can't wait for WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition you guys have come so far and because of the game you guys have made me grow attached to wolves that I just cant stop talking about them. So thank you all so much for your time and effort that you have spent over the years, WolfQuest is Fantastic and incredible also I love Tim's music and everything ^_^
CreativeWolf346 oh you are here too ? ^^ Can't wait for the game too! :D
Kira Stone I’m quite surprised to see you Kira, I’m excited too Happy Howlidays ( I can’t wait for Christmas it’s tomorrow ) Happy Howlidays! ^ ^
I'm so happy that the team is still together after all these years. This game is so nostalgic for me, I'm probably going to cry of joy once 3.0 is released. I thought this game had died Years ago ; ; after its last update
I used to bring this game to my 7th and 8th grade classes to play on the school computers, YEARS ago.
6 days!
Wow you guys came a long way to make this happen...thank you all for making such a amazing game:) you guys were the ones who drew me to love wolves the way I do now thank you
OMG the developing of the game is crazy!! You turned everything beautiful in only 9 years! Its so cool and I adore wolves!! When i was 7 I played this game! I really love it and im proud that i support wolquest a lot!! Everyone appreciates that you put your hard work into something that everybody will truly love!!
I first heard of this game around 2010 or 2012, when I was only 10/12 years old back then.
The nostalgia hit me hard when I finally stumbled upon Wolf Quest again, years later.
What to say that isn't already said? WQ is a beautiful game; there's not much words to use for it, because every time I come back, log on to either Single Player or Multiplayer mode, it just stuns me to the point I'm speechless. It's been part of my childhood for longer than I realised and I'd poured a lot of time playing it, be it by myself or with my friends. It's developing really well since it first started, and it deserves more recognition and popularity. I pity those who yet to play this game, or even know about it; Wolf Quest is a true, hidden gem.
I always loved wolves but never met anyone else who did. If I had known about this game 11 years ago, my life would be extremely different. It's good to see that there is a community of wolf lovers who made this game thrive for this long. I just started playing it and it's been fulfilling the desire to put myself in a wolf's everday life. Thank you guys so much!
So glad you found WolfQuest! You also might enjoy our community forum at WolfQuest.org/community
I’ve been playing WQ since 2011 and it’s been developing Soo much I love it . I can’t wait till WolfQuest 3
No purple fur. No necklace. No disappear after death elk. Yay for Gore.
Incredible. The turbulences and hardships this game has gone through to get where it is now, from ridiculed to one of the best wild life simulators out there. Truly inspiring.
i've been following wolfquests since i was 9-10, five years now (coming close to 2018) and i can proudly say this game is what brought me to love wolves so much, and in fact, go to yellowstone and see for myself were did this game come from. this game is something i always come back to at the end. not the best graphics, not the best soundtrack, not the best "storyline", but certainly the best experience. at least in my eyes. keep doing a great job!
I found this video enthralling and can't wait for the rest! I first began playing WolfQuest when I was 12 in 2010 (Nukilik_Ulva). I had actually just begun gaining interest in online games and WolfQuest was the first one I came across. I made a few long-term friends on WQ and we played for a year or so. When the lexicon chat became more and more limiting, we moved on to other games. However, to this day we play WQ. I actually met my girlfriend, who I've been dating for five years now, on WQ back in 2010. She moved from Vermont to Texas so we could develop our lives together. Friends I made eight years ago I still keep in touch with, and care deeply about. WolfQuest, as silly as it may sound, has significantly shaped my life. Thank you guys, for everything you have done.
I've loved wolves since I was little and I knew that they killed. I have watched big cat diary since I was little and I have seen animals kill and eat each other so I came to terms with how animals work from a young age. So when I played the game I had a great time and thought that it was awesome and the elk carcasses didn't bother me at all. I'm 15 now and I discovered this game completely on accident a couple of years ago just looking up games online. And let me tell you that this is still my favorite game. I love this game and can't wait for WolfQuest 3.
Like 4 days left no one understands how excited I am ima stay in and play it for ages
i remeber when i was younger, watching people like seri pixel biologist and getting my parents to buy it for me aswell. i saw an article on school on this and saying “I play that game!” its been years and this game has come so far, its epic honestly
I love how this game always stays realistic. It’s not like other wolf sims. It’s real. It feels real. There are people who think wolves are demonic killers, and people who romanticize and sexualize them to the point where they become, well... something they’re not.
The music is beautiful and iconic, and the gameplay is challenging and interesting. I’ve made some amazing friends trying the best I ever could to raise pups in bring it on mode.
Thank you for liking my comment WolfQuest! I really appreciate it. :)
I played WolfQuest when it First Came out. It was a Experience I Will never Forget! It taught me things About Wolves and Wildlife. I let my 5 and 9 year old Cousins play with with me and they Absolutely love it! You all did the Best!
i need wolfquest three
Hello WolfQuest and other players! I have been playing since I was 9...I am now 16 years old, and I am so very happy to see that WolfQuest is beginning to grow more!! It’s insane! I have loved wolves ever since and this game has been a big part of my life, I am a Digital and Traditional artist on Instagram, I mainly draw wolves thanks to WolfQuest this game really got me more into these fantastic animals! Continue doing your best! I am so excited for future updates!!
Man im glad im seeing this now. They said in the new Devblog that they would make a chapter 2 to this and I look forward to it!
This game absolutely shaped me into the person I am today and had a MASSIVE impact on both me and my two younger sisters. We joined the forums in 2010 and made so so SO many friends and acquaintances through off topic channels, RP packs, the writing channels, and more. I firmly believe that Wolf Quest played a major role in my decision to become an artist and my sister's decision to pursue writing. And as much as my parents grimaced at the carcasses in Wolf Quest, I really think it helped me develop a realistic relationship with animal death and the inherent nature of predator animals. I very recently got back into Wolf Quest and I am absolutely blown away by all the work that has gone into both 2.7 and the anniversary edition. I'm SO excited to see what the future brings for Wolf Quest, and I'll be cheering for the dev team from the sidelines!
It has been an age since i watched this video. Looking forward to the part 2 mentioned in the latest dev vlog.
I do remember the old game well. It's transformation has been wonderful to see.
I am very glad of the resilience of the team and that this game came to fruition.
It will be one i remember for a long time to come for It's amazing team and the quality fun.
I have spent many hours in the classic and in the anniversary eddition.
It is truly a mark of your strong fan base that i came accross it pre demo as ingeneral at the time i had very little to do with the internet 😅
Congratulations on a job well done and overcoming all the hurdels 🎉
So am going to be happy when it comes out!
+I do don't can if it gross I love it! (I love blood and organs!)
Puppy100 hellfan meet too
You mean wq 3? If not, the games been out since 2007 and costs $10
Great video, I'm very excited to see what's in store for future updates to this game. I can still remember playing WolfQuest on my old PC back in 2013. It's hard to believe it's been over four years since then. Once WolfQuest 3 is out, heck, you won't be able to deny that it's the best animal simulation on Steam. WolfQuest is, without a doubt, one of the very few good wildlife simulation games that have even been made, and considering that development started in 2005, it was way ahead of it's time at that point.
Dinodogdude 209 I completely agree
When I was about 8 I remember finding WolfQuest and getting it and being SO excited about it! WolfQuest gave me my love of games and animals.
Let me just say that this game has gone SO FAR! I just can't believe it. I believe I got the Survival of the Pack version (I really sort of forget, my memory is kind of fuzzy), and I LOVED IT! I couldn't stop playing it. I would think about it during school and rush home to my second life. I didn't make friends easily and this was a sort of escape for me.
I didn't find this on my own. If my friend hadn't shown me this game I would have never found it. While I was at this friend's house, she showed me the website, saying that it looked amazing, but her mother wouldn't let her download it because she thought it was a scam (she clicked the green download button, which was an ad for on the download page, and they got confused and downloaded a bug). I, looking at the website, reading the info, was shocked. This was amazing. Much better than the math games my mom had gotten for free on the iPad.
I begged my mom to get it, and she did one day. I played the heck out of it. I died a few times. The only thing I was worried about what the bloody carcass, which I would quickly turn away from when one of my parents walked into the computer room. I was so terrified that they would think it was too violent and forbid me from playing it. But one day my dad walked into the room while I was fully emerged in the game, and saw the carcass I was devouring. I looked up at him, shocked and worried. He only smiled and said "Cool! Blood." My dad loves the wild and nature.
To tell the truth, I have searched for simulator games, (other wolf games, dragon, cat, bird, you name it). None have the realism and time put into them to be a true simulator game. It was either the game was glitch, the graphics just didn't cut it, or the game play was just boring and unsatisfying.
If WQ had died, I don't know what I would still be searching for the perfect animal simulation game to satisfy my fierce desire to become an animal (sense shapeshifting just isn't possible).
Thank you, Wolf Quest team, for making it though those hard and stressful times, and for playing that fish game. :)
I am SO HAPPY you guys chose to make the game realistic! No purple fur, wings, or anything a wolf wouldn’t have in the real world. Finally a game that has realism
Who remembers the game before the wind directions?
I remember finding this game around 2010-2011 during beta and I loved it and I'm going to be buying the full game in a couple days which I'm looking forward to, and I want to say that you've done such a great job on this game and I'm looking forward to what ever else you have in store for the future ;)
I love Wolfquest! This video makes me realize how hard you guys worked to make this remarkable game, I play it a lot and I can't imagine a world without Wolfquest. I've always loved wolves and this game brightened my love of wolves even more. Keep up the good work.
(I know this comment is late but I just had to say thank you :3)
I can't wait for Wolf Quest Three!
There is only one problem. I was going through my apps and I accidentally deleted WolfQuest! I download it again, but it won't let me log back into my account. I will keep trying to work with it, and I hope I'll figure it out before WQ3 comes out! If I ever figure it out, I'll definitely be on there.
Besides this, I just want to say how awesome it is that you guys worked so hard to make this game. 👏 You all have done an amazing job! I'm very, very happy that you have made this amazing game. My favorite thing about this game is that it is very realistic. I have played almost EVERY wolf simulator game on my AppStore. I have been looking for a game like this forever!
I was informed by a friend of how awesome this game was. Of course, once I realized that I did not have this game already, I downloaded it to try it out. I was purely amazed! I play it usually once a day or once every two days because I am addicted to playing it! 😋
Keep up the great work, because you're doing great! I have been suggesting this game to some of my friends in the 4H group, and I'm sure they'd love it too! The music is great, too. I used to leave my game open to listen to it for a bit XD
Thanks so much!
You should be able to re-download the game, no problem. If you are still stuck, email info@wolfquest.org and provide details of your issue.
If you are interested, you can purchase the full soundtrack and music extras: www.wolfquest.org/soundtrack.php
WolfQuest - Thank you so much for the help! I must have been really tired last night, because I looked at it again this morning and it was actually really easy to log back in! 😅 So now I'm back on, and I'm loving it as always!
I’m so glad you guys left out odd colored fur and jewelry to make it such a challenging, fun, educational, and realistic! Can’t wait for the next episode!
I'm a Swiftie and proud of "Wildest Dreams"
Anyways, you've been improving this game a lot, and I'm here after WQAE has been updated a lot already! I'm coming back and watching all the videos in order to see your progress from years before. This game deserves a lot more attention!
As a long time player of WQ (started in 2011)
WQ was a huge pillar in my adaptations to death (like loss and hunting), social behavior and respect for all living things.
Learning to live and interact in different ways than normal made me grow as a person.
I was born Jan 11th, 9 days after the release of this game. I remember growing up with it and it was the first game I ever really got into. I remember drifting in and out of the community here and there along the way, but I always came back for the game. Now I’m introducing it to more people that I play video games with regularly, and some of them really enjoy it! I nearly lost my shit when I saw WQ3s first trailer. One person in particular that I’ve introduced after the WQ3 release has really taken to the game and we play around with the pups a lot, creating little wolf families. It’s a fun, chill game that can go from 0 to 100 really fast. No, it’s not the most beautiful ever, there are a lot of bugs and features I’d love to see in the game (maybe a DLC puphood chapter? Invading other packs to kill their pups? Maybe??) but it’s still gorgeous and it’s amazing to see just how far this game that I’ve loved literally my entire life has come.
I can’t wait for the next chapters! Great job
I was born ten days after Wolf Quest first released...wow.
this one sparks joy
It is amazing to see how things have improved over the years, and to hear about the players who stuck by you through thick and thin.
It started with a fish. A fish. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! Lol! Pretty cool though. Then THAT turned to THIS AWESOMENESS!! Good job people!
Oh my god, this is so emotional for me! xD I remember fondly the end of 2007 when I first discovered WQ. I was looking up games about wolves using Google Images and one of them was of WQ. I followed it to a site where I found the real link to the WQ website and wanting to cry out of happiness!
I played when I was younger and remember the game developing and how I loved playing this game. I always loved wolves but this game made me appreciate them even more and actually did inspire me to learn so much more about them. Having bought the anniversary edition after a lot of years of not playing, and I'm glad to say the game is even better than I remember it being!!
I played the game when I was a kid. After awhile my computer crashed and I lost it. It was at the point where although I enjoyed it, I didn't think much else would come of it. You found your mate, started a family, and found the end point. That was the game last time I had it. Out of curiosity, after a few years, I one day checked the website again. And what do you know, "Wolfquest 2.7 out now." I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the game was not only still going strong, but evolving into something much more than what it was. Good on all of you guys for putting so much effort and time to make this game what it is. My thanks to the WolfQuest team for all the work and passion you all put in. Sorry for the long post, but I appreciate all the years of commitment you've all done. Again, many thanks to you all.
I'm in my 40's and I'm very glad you guys had made a dream come true. Please keep up the drive and passion in this game going.
I remember finding your little teaser video that you made by accident on youtube and just.. My jaw dropped. I was so excited by the idea and when I found out it was free I flipped some serious shit. I was quick to download it on a very old very not game suited computer. It was so hard to play because the frame rate was soooo bad because of my comp. And I remember seeing that eventually there would be pups. And I just was so excited. But I didnt get to play it. Not until last year when I rediscovered the game and downloaded it from Steam. And then I found out about the development of WQ 3 and that was it. I now stalk your youtube every single day waiting for that weekly update and re watching old videos. You guys are great and even though im older now I still love the game. This new polish is going to make it even more of what I have always wanted in a simulation animal game.
I remember when I found Wolf Quest back in middle school.
All was calm. I was scrolling and looking for animal simulators I had found iAnimal (Now gone)
And I wanted more.
Then I found Wolf Quest. My Mother was just relaxing while reading in the living room. Then like a freak thunder storm over the plains.
"- IT'S REALISTIC! IT'S NOT A DUMB CARTOON! OH MY WOLF LOVING HEART!"
Mother looks up as a burst into the living room with a wild look in my eyes.
Little 7th grader me waving a paper around madly.
"Do not come into the computer room. I'll be gone for the weekend!"
Monday I crawled my way into my homeroom seat and then talked non stop about it.
"I hunted for my pups and braved the cold nights....the howling winds that joined my rallies....."
"Sneaking around the bears as they stole my kill.....SUDDEN HARES!-"
At the time I wanted to do something with wolves when I got older. Not so sure anymore.
But when I'm able to I'm going to get Wolf Quest again.
*I feel the call feel within my marrow.....I shall harken back to the lands I once roamed....to join the wild hunt again....*
Beautiful ❤️ 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 ❤️
The first time I played the game I was 7 years old but I still loved it very very much.
Canaaaaaaaa~ ♥ Still miss her presence, haha. Now that I've finished watching, I can attempt to express my thoughts though this might take a few edits seeing as it's so late here...
This was a most interesting glimpse into the project's foundations. Dang... and I thought the traffic that Slough Creek generated back in the day was bad. Yikes!
It's amazing to see how far WolfQuest has come as well as being harder still to believe it has been around for ten years, yet it is still going strong. For that I confess I am grateful. When the discontinuation was announced in late 2012 the realization that it was over was pretty overwhelming to me, yet there was also a hint of acceptance in that nothing lasts forever. To see it bounce back the way it did when Eduweb returned in 2014 was an unexpected surprise. Fast forward to the release of 2.7, I felt the familiar excitement that I had experienced the first time I ever played WQ. ^^ Even now I am eager to rediscover Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek in their "remastered" forms when the Anniversary Edition launches just as much as I am to purchase Tower Fall when it lands to finally resume the survival of each pack I have played in 2.7.
To everyone in the current development team: you've done fantastically up to this point from the day Dave returned to take up the project's reins once again, and I can only hope that you continue to carry WolfQuest as far as it can possibly go. Take it as far as you possibly can while also reaching newer and greater heights together to make WolfQuest and indeed any future titles you might make the best they can possibly be. Like many others, WolfQuest is the reason I admire and respect wolves and other canids as well as their prey, and a deeper respect for nature which most likely would never have happened at all without it. Truly amazing what impact a game can have.
//nostalgic rambling over
Also that shockwave WolfQuest prototype(?)... _wow._ Glad you guys went with Unity/that Unity expanded in the way that it did to have been worthwhile/that you're still using Unity to continue developing this game. (Seriously, kudos!) It's been quite a nice trip down nostalgia road merging onto memory lane just watching this... it was a really nice touch adding game footage from past versions.
Certainly looking forward to seeing the next part(s?)! 🐺
P.S. Forgive me for pointing this out: Croix is misspelled as "Croi".
P.P.S: Forgive me for my tired ramblings, I am feeling extremely nostalgic. :')
Deepest apologies to Croix (Copy & paste is not always our friend. Sadly, TH-cam does not allow us to update video).
Heh, nah it's fine - for me, it's just a consequence of keeping lists up-to-date to the point of becoming over familiar with them. Alas, gone too are the days of annotation notes...
I still have the thank you note and the patch Cana gave me when I was a moderator. This brings back so many memories...
I remember my grandpa reading about wolfquestin the newspaper and ssaved it for me because he knew I would like it. I miss that time in my life so much
seeing this 4 years later is just proves how much this game has improved! I grew up with this game and this game was my life. It makes me want to sometime visit yellowstone and research about wolves more.
No matter what other people say, this is definitely the best game
Happy anniversary Wolfquest! I believe I've been playing since Amythest Mountain Deluxe! I'm so proud to see how far the game has come ❤️
Watching this three years later after WQ3 has already come out! This is so interesting! I never knew these things about like coding and y’know making a game! This inspired me and actually I’m working on a dog simulation game, finding my music and working on my designs! Good work WQ team!
I remember one time I played WolfQuest while I was in Yellowstone. It was a rainy day and we were at the laundry place.
That is great!
I stumbled upon this game 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. It's so obvious the care and work put into it and I have never once felt bored playing WolfQuest. It is by far the pinnacle of animal simulators and I have never seen any other game do it even half as well as you guys. Thank you for giving us all such an amazing game and I wish you all a happy holidays!
"Not blood thirsty killers"
*Joins server to see 75+ corpses.*
*Hears they just killed another elk.*
*Game crashes.*
I feel like after a certain about of things killed, that the elk should stop spawning lol.
This game has lasted for awhile and I still find it extremely fun! I’m so excited for WolfQuest 3 and the new Tower Fall expansion!
As soon as I played WQ during the 2.7 era, it took me some time to get used to the game, I was really frustrated with how the wolf courtship worked, so I had to get tutorials online, not only that I had absolutely no knowledge of wolves, but as I got better with the game, holy crud, this game changed my viewpoint on wolves more than I could imagine… it changed my life man, and I owe it to these competent developers that persevered through the gauntlet of educational wolf ecology computer game development! Or as they call it… WOLFQUEST!
As of now I am enjoying the latest version of WolfQuest, the Anniversary Edition to celebrate this amazing game series, and I hope it lives on forever to educate our species on this important keystone species and how without them, the planet surely could take a darker turn.
hey wolfquest I am getting money for Christmas and I'm buying every pack to help you guys out and to play
i first got into this game in 2012.. so that feels like.. a lifetime hontestly. i was 10 around then, and well its changed my life. alot. growing up, i had a spiritual connection to a wolf, and wolfquest has opened that up every since. i even have a faux fur wolf tail, made to look almost exact as one of the wolf tail pelt designs in the game. and considering my connection was that of a wolf, i of course had my own wolf name which is Dawn, and my own personality, and ya know.. its just the wolf life i never had. considering i felt and still feel like i was born in the wrong body, that being of a human.
so in a way, this game was alot different to me. it taught me to protect and prepare for the worst, its helped in alot of my life today as with relationships and protecting those i love. even if i do tend to act more wolf like than most would... that aside, this game was my absolute childhood. and tho the therian community may not be such a big fan of this game, im proud to call myself both that and a wolf quest player. i currently have 2.7 and im super hyped for both 3.0 and tower fall. not to mention that this is the one game that i can play where the game is realistic, and the players are realistic. i owe you guys a lot. the best part of this game, is you arent afraid to say no. this one time, while in a roblox game, it used to be realistic. you could play as a horse and it was alot of fun. but as it got noticed, there were demands for magical things and the game creators then completely changed. now the game is filled with pegasi, unicorns, and the map building has just gotten alot worst to us realistic players. thats one thing i admire about wolfquest, even if the requests may get the game alot more attention, you still shoot for that realism even if your game isnt as popular as it could be. the people who stick by even without these demand changes, are your true fans. and im here through you all the way. as long as thing game stays as realistic as it has been, im here for as long as i can be. (even tho this comment will probably never be read)
Don't worry, WolfQuest will stay a game about wolf ecology! We also appreciate that our players have all kinds of ways they play the game. Thanks for supporting WQ so we can keep improving it!
Out of all things, a game about wolves, it starts with a fish😂 I'm not complaining, it's a great game Wolf Quest is
Wouldn't it be funny if in zootopia wolves had iwolf phones as their version of an iphone
Ye
Lol
I remember playing 2.5 my childhood game
Lots of updates since then! :)
I gotta own it to this game why guts and gore doesn’t bother me anymore.
But in all seriousness, I loved this game (and still do) and I’m so happy to see how WolfQuest 3 came out. It’s stunning, and I love it.
After watching so many WQ videos, it’s really hard to put a face to that voice tbh
lolll i was thinking the same
Make it in WolfQuest 3 that u can end up having your previous generations of wolves helping raise pups and creating a huge pack. Love the work that has been put into this.
SO AMAZING THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WOLFQUEST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CANT WAIT FOR WOLFQUEST 3!!!!
Tigers.. You should make a game about Tigers.. Or birds sorry I just think like.. You've made this game amazing and awesome it would be amazing if you made games like it but for other animals x3
or hyenas they are more similar to wolves
You guys made this sound so challenging and time-consuming. It's so impressive how you had the patience and determination to design it. It has improved so much and I remember being at the edge of my seat, watching intently as my mother downloaded it for me (because I was too stupid to know how lol) and when I got it time stopped. 😂
This is still one of my favorite wolf quest videos, next to the WQ3 announcement. Is there any chance we’ll see the other two chapters anytime soon, or is this like a “release after the new game is finished” type of thing?
Yes, the next chapter is in the works.
I love WolfQuest it's my favourite game
This was an amazing chapter of WQ developing and the procedures you had to meet in order for this to launch!I can't explain how thankful I am today with WQ.
I remember first playing this game when I was 7 or 8. I’m 14 now and I’m still in love with Wolf Quest!
Gosh, you all are the best! Thank you so much- started playing 2.0 and 2.5 in 4th-6th grade and now I'm in 11th and loving 2.7 in the little free time I get. This game is timeless, just as the wolves are! Literally my childhood, I'm so excited for the new update! I'm so glad you're going to add tower falls- I remember my heart dropping the very first time I reached the rendezvous and came to the realization there was nothing after it. Can't wait!
And to think...WQ3 is coming out in about 2 hours!!!!
I'm so proud of the WolfQuest team! You guys worked so hard and its finally about to happen! CONGRATS!
I love this game! I can’t wait for wolfquest 3
Came back to see this after a while. Really worth it to watch the whole thing.
Thanks!
Development stories are very inspiring, especially coming from the developers of one of my favorite games.
If you don't have this game, get it now!!! So amazing, and thanks to the developers for doing such an amazing job! Less than 24 hours after WQ3 and this is a must have! Nice to put a face on the voice of WQ3
I can't wait for WQ 3!! You guys are doing fabulous job :DDD
