- The core of the upcoming WolfQuest Saga* is the new AI system that we first showed in a devblog a year ago, with very young pups walking a bit wobbly when they first emerge from the den. Since then, we've been building on that XP system, most significantly when the pups are learning how to hunt elk late in their first year. But pups are learning and gaining experience every month as they grow.
Drawing on biologists' understanding of wolf pup development, we've created several tiers of hunting interest and experience. Pups reach the first of these tiers - the Early Predatory Drive - in June (when they're about ready to abandon the den). This is when they begin tracking scents, stalking, and pouncing on interesting things, real or imagined.
The pups keep gaining experience from these behaviors and, in July (generally during the Loaf at Rendezvous Site quest), they'll reach the next tier: High Predator Drive. This is when they start noticing small prey around the homesite, such as toads and voles. These summer pups become very interested in these little critters, following them, pouncing on them, and playing with them -- the exciting new toys of the season.
Pups will keep gaining XP as they practice their hunting skills with the toads and voles, which will come in handy later in the summer…
Stay tuned to learn more about the Saga in upcoming devblogs!

* The upcoming WolfQuest Saga is "the rest of the game." Your pups will continue to grow into the fall and beyond, learning to hunt under your supervision, and then becoming yearlings when next year's pups are born. Time will continue progressing through the years until you die. The Saga is currently in development but we do not have a release date for it.
___________________
The WolfQuest saga will continue! Stay tuned for more news in upcoming devblogs about it and other new features! We do not announce specific release dates. We will release them when they are ready. - เกม
Honestly a master class in indie game development. Keeps everyone updated frequently, doesn’t force people to wait decades for massive features, doesn’t release a buggy mess… shits amazing.
You described more triple A games then indie games
@@phoenixthewolf6301they were describing the WolfQuest team, not all Indie games in general.
And when they do release something buggy, its entirely an accident, nothing crazy, and they fix it as soon as they can as well as let people know!
@@JaneFlowerbird They even show some of their bugs, like they just did in this video!
Honestly it's such a relief to see these frequent updates. And they're making steady progress too.
A lot of indie games will give you two updates, disappear off the face of the earth for 6 months, and then patch three bugs and add a feature no one was expecting or wanting.
"my children are finally eating for themselves does this mean I don't have to hunt for you anymore?"
"Feed us papa"
"Nevermind-"
Yeah there's always gonna be those people that starve their pups because they figure they can hunt small prey for themselves lol
@@Optimally_healthy5831I already starve them, now I have an excuse
I just can't wait for them to be able to feed themselves even slightly so if my wolf is severely injured I don't have to panic
aint gotta feed them suckers no more /j
A toad can barely feed a wild feral cat, let alone a growing wolf pup
I love the moment when WolfQuest said "It's WolfQuestin time!" and WolfQuested all over the place. 10/10
Oh my goodness!! This is SO cute, it's going to add so much life to the time spent at the rendezvous! And it does make for a good transition from young pups into learning to hunt in the fall. Very excited to see it in action!
I'm also so excited to watch your future playthrough in the saga!!
Yea pup cam is gonna be WAY more fun than it is now
@@cowabanger Me too
WAKE UP EVERYONE! WOLFQUEST POSTED!! 🗣️🗣️
AWOOOO(idk what I'm doing lol)🐺
@@tundra8569AWOOOOOOLOOL
@@tundra8569 AWOOOOOOOOO
I'M UP
lol rip to my notifications probably
"Don't blame Tommi for this"
One great game designer said "If it's a bug, make it a feature"
A good example is Floppy Moose!
@@jinx6573 Floppy the beloved
The pups look so cute stalking and chasing their prey!
Ikrrr
This is something small being added into the game and yet it still brings everything together! I love the idea of little wolf pups pouncing on small rodents and amphibians 😂
You know what they say, "To start becoming a hunter takes small pounces!"
I remember when I was a wolf-obsessed tween, and I frothed at the mouth when I discovered legacy WolfQuest. It fills my now-adult heart with so much joy and pride, seeing how far this amazing game has come and is continuing to go. 💖 Thank you, WolfQuest Devs, you made thousands of wolf-loving kids into wildlife-passionate adults and have made so many magical and meaningful memories with your hard work!
I'm 27 now and gods I spent hours each day on legacy, now I'm waiting to get a gaming pc so I can enjoy this version 😂
BRO AGREED!!! im almost 21 and i feel this way about this game too
@@Alledowayadon’t really need a gaming pc! I play it on my normal dell laptop!
@@Alledowaya I play it on my laptop as well as my gaming pc ^_^ The pc lets you have nice graphics for sure, but if you're itching to play it, it's totally possible.
@@BrightPath_K9s my laptop has committed to the unalived movement and can barely turn on. If I'm going to get another pc it'll be one built for what I want and not a random one I pick up at a store 💜
this game means so much to me bro. I'm gonna literally cry when the saga releases
No fr lol
Same omg. This game has been my literal CHILDHOOD and I will always love it so much.
Imma cry UGLY tears once Saga releases
@Hamsterdoodledandy46345 SAME!!! I played this game all the time growing up, and now, as an adult! Can't believe how far this game has come, it's incredible!!
Me too, I'm just hoping and praying when it eventually releases it'll release during my school holidays cause otherwise I'm absolutely done for. I'll be running on -200 sleep
It's so crazy how far this game has become!
Wake up everyone its wolfquest time!
I am so excited for this feature honestly! Them little toads are adorable, and the new pup emotes are so awesome!
GUYS WAKE UP WOLFQUEST UPLOADED
This is freaking precious!!! I also love how the toad’s face is just: *👁️^👁️*
Toads? Frogs? Lol I'm early and super excited, too
Edit (I've watched the video now): This is amazing! I think they said something about toads a while ago (not sure though), but I really wasn't expecting voles!
I think it's a really cool feature that the pups can practice their hunting skills early and gain XP, and it's freaking adorable.
Great work! :D
this addition sounds like it's gonna add a lot of depth. it reminds me of what i loved from shelter 2 but incorporated into a much fuller scale project that is consistently being improved upon!! and with wolves!!!!
I love how realistic this is with the pups licking frogs, makes for a fun family trip.
I wonder if the experience gain will differ between the pups as they learn to hunt? Perhaps one of them is noticeably falling behind in development and they are then more vulnerable during hunts or more hungry since they can't catch toads and voles. At the moment with the wobbly to normal walk it seems like all the pups gain experience at the same time but I do think it would be cool for maybe the runts to be lagging behind a bit.
I think individuals varying would be interesting- I personally would favour it being impacted by their temperament or personality vs the runt. I've met many a runt more full of vigor than the biggest in the litter once grown... also I ended up renaming a runt of mine ingame to "Livewire" because she was always starting the others off. First to poke the nose out last to lie down always at a stick or imaginary thing.
Also I can run a -2 to all stats ironwolf...
Maybe the more cautious and / or lazy gain slower? If they go that route.
Yeah my friends dog had 2 puppies and the runt still wobbles a bit to walk while the other bullies him 😂
@@Obsidianoak That makes sense, I like that more
You guys are doing so wonderful with the saga!! I'm so excited for every update! I can't wait to be able to run around and live with my pups!! ❤❤
I HAVE ARRIVED
i love the idea of lil pups doing a lil bit of hunting
The toads are FINALLY in the game! I remember the early devblog "Vote for a new animal" that had a pup pouncing a toad, and now finally six years later it's going to happen!
You guys are a precious gem in gaming community. You keep us updated frequently, every single week for few years. No micro transactrions, cool updates without bugs. Keep up the good work! We love you!
Awesome amphibians!
I love this so much. They look so cute while chasing around the toads.
Supposed to be studying for the degree I prayed to get into but this is more interesting
hahahah good studies 🙏🙏
Why is every single new feature added to WQ completely unexpected to me and fills me with pure, unbridled joy?
Like, they actually made the toads a thing now?! _And_ added voles as well?!
AND THE PUPS ARE GONNA HUNT THEM, THEY GROW UP SO FAST, JEEBUS, THE HYPE-
Tiny cute little hunters! I'm so excited
WolfQuest is the best wolf simulator of all time, as it combines real life wolf studies AND long-lasting entertaining game play into a perfect bundle! Like, WOW.
Only OG’s know that they leaked frogs… 6 years ago…
But toadally worth the wait! ;)
@@WolfQuestGameHey Wolf Quest. 👋🏻
These updates just keep getting better and better! Can’t wait for the saga
I am SO excited for this, seeing this game go from somewhat low quality game where you fine a mate and raise pups (First game not this one!) to stuff like this is so cool. I have always wanted to play a game just like this, and you guys are making that happen, slowly but I don't really mind, thank you devs for making this happen!
Hell yeah we all wanted a realistic animal simulator game. This is the best one even before the sage drops. Once it does, it will be unmatched by far
@@2the1land6_ I agree! Now only if we could get a game like this about dinosaurs lol
"Slow and steady wins the race!"
@@2the1land6_ this game has really set the standard for realistic animal simulators
@@microwaveablenukes the best dino simulator would be Isle. It's a really popular dino game at this time, but tbh, not as detailed as the gem, Wolfquest.
I love how I’ve been able to watch this game grow from when I was able to download it for free online to what it is now
And that ladies and gentlemen is the perfect example of a excellent Indie Game!! You guys are the only indie studio that I trust that they won't abandon their game
THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE DEV LOG IN THE WORLD
Such a small detail added but it makes up and brings the game to another level of realism, and just perfection. Keep up the great work, and i love the new music! Absolutely stunning ❤
When do you think you will add bison herds? That will be so fun
Probably after the Saga release.
I’m excited for wolfquest future! So much coming like towerfall I think bighorn sheep! I love you wolfquest
those two puppies at the end pouncing on the same frog!
Nah that pupper was just expressing how much love they have for their parents 😁
will we end up being able to see the personality traits of our pups? it’s not always super obvious what traits they have by watching them as pups (plus i’m always busy feeding, hunting and marking territory to pay too much attention to their personalities), but i’d love to be able to see it on their page in “my wolves” once they’ve grown, even though we can’t change it :)
No, that will remain behind the scenes.
I remember reading the book about 21M and learning about the pups playing with voles. Im happy this was added to the game.
The long-leading Alpha male of the Druid Pack!
A lifelong dream come true T_T
*GROWING PUPS*
Ahh! It's nice now being able to spot small things running around in the grass! I love it!
Man I wish everyone on the development team the best, this game and any updates it receives makes me so happy.
Maybe it would be cool to make an animation where the pup stumbles over the mouse/toad. They run faster than them so it would be realistic wouldn’t it?
The pups are so cute pouncing on the small prey, I love it ❤️
WOLFQUEST HAS POSTED!!
i saw frog and am interested now 👁
amazing work, thank you for the updates and transparency
Every video you release makes me more excited
I've been a fan since I was 10 playing the first one, and now this one since its beta release. I adore this game so much and y'all are doing an amazing job adding some of the most niche and amazing features that pertain to what one could only dream about in the first game. Keep it up!! ❤❤
Watching your blogs, I learn a lot more about wolves. It's amazing that you take into account even such small details.
Feels like I need to pinch myself every time y’all upload again. The comeback has been unreal and I am so here for it!!
I love watching the saga slowly but surely come together! I’m so excited!! (I’m sure it’ll be wonderful)
Can’t wait for this and the saga, the rez will be fun! Love the ideas, you always come up with the best ones. Who would have known WolfQuest would be like this? Awesome, love WolfQuest, have a great day everyone! Thank you for this amazing wolf game!! ❤❤
YAAAAAAS WOLFQUEST POSTED! When they post you drop EVERYTHING
The fact I'd literally sell my soul for this game
You guys never cease to amaze me with adding the most amazing things. Istg, even when I'm old I'll be telling my grandkids about Wolf Quest
The pups run animation look so amazing better then the adults run 🤣
Can't wait for the saga to continue seeing pups grow! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay!! This so so cute!! I can’t wait for the Saga as well! It will be so fun creating content about it when it comes out! ❤️
Looks so amazingly cute!!! ❤
1, the music is beautiful!!
2, this whole concept is adorable obviously 😂🤍
3, can the pups eat these and actually gain hunger percentage?
I play wolfquest almost every single day for a little bit and have been doing this to calm myself from the daily stresses of life for a long time now and I just restarted playing the original game because I felt nostalgic for it and im soooo so excited for this my soul is so happy rn. this game seriously means a lot to me and its amazing that it started as a small project with the minnesota zoo and now its becoming this huge diverse in depth wolf ecology game.. seriously feels so unreal growing with this game
What it your new vids after school always brings brightness to my days
This is a must. I am so happy that this is coming to the game
This is adorable! I love the small prey for our pups ❤❤❤
This is so flipping cute. I say it every time, but I love these little video updates. How many games can get you this excited for toads and voles? Every Wolfquest update video I see makes me smile.
this is so exciting!! i’m really looking forward to the saga
This is adorable. What a cute little addition to the game
I was just thinking about this not too long ago!! I'm so excited for the saga!!
Adorable - can't wait to see my pups tottering around and pouncing on things!
I think the mice heard through my headset about the voles being added as snacks and playthings for the pups, because just then one started scurrying in between the walls lol! They're not pleased. But I am. Those toads look really good!
Very excited for this addition and loving the look of the older pup model in this video ❤
That is the cutest pounce ever! ❤ I can't wait!
This is so adorable!! I love this game and the developers for making such a fun and interesting game! I also love how realistic it is. Thanks for all you do!
This is adorable! So excited to see that on the game!
The pups are adorable! Also, toads!
Every small cute thing is amazing.
Can’t wait keep up the great work
I'm so excited for the saga too release and hellroaring mountains is awesome
This is adorable!!
This is really exciting! I'm really loving WolfQuest 3 so far!! :D Now that I have a new gaming laptop, I can actually play through and immerse myself into the game. I'm really looking forward to the progression of the pups and how my pack grows!
This is so exciting!!!!!! I can't wait to see the pups hunt at the rendezvous site!! the toads are so cute!!! I'm so excited!!💞
TOADS? TOADS!!!!! unironically so excited to see these fellas hopping around
Your wolf game is literally the best in history 💙
This is a adorable update❤
YOOOOOOOO THAT'S SO NICE!!!
They better have flip-flop dynamics like the hare when they are held limp
Ooh this is so cool! I love these updates!
Absolutely love seeing NPC’s have more things that they may do! The pups chasing each other and now this, so amazing!!
They have bones and items to nibble on, thier siblings to chase and also nibble on, and now they have actual prey to practice! And if none of those are of interest, there's always mom and dad 🐺
This is adorable!
My favorite dev team ever
Honestly a wonderful update its a fantastic transition to see these pups chasing the new critters and i think the critters will add a lot of life to the loafing phase (and hopefully exploring) of the game as well as i can see this comfortably transitioning into the pups chasing and catching the rabbits i often see foolishly sprinting through my rendezvous. i'd love to see them skittering around (uninteractable) with your main wolf exploring but i understand if that's a heavy load on the codes.
Toads AND voles? Delightful.
I just bought and played WolfQuest for the first time. I love how realistic the game is. Great job!
i am SO excited for this! i have been playing wolf quest for forever now and I'm so excited to see my little pups grow into adults! :D
This sounds sick! I can't wait!
I remember seeing the first video of the pup pouncing on the toad years back. I always wondered if they’d ever show up, I’m glad toads are finally on their way! 🐸❤
2:10 Those toads were BOOKING it !
Yeah, we will tweak such things as we test it out. Voles are very speedy though!
@@WolfQuestGame toads for the inexperienced/weaker or sick pups, voles for the higher prey-driven/faster stronger pups. So much thought being put into this game! ❤❤❤
@@WolfQuestGame XD Good to know!
I can’t wait for the saga to release!! I wanna hunt and thrive with my adult pups!!! 😆
AHHHH IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! EVERY UPDATE, THIS GAME JUST GETS BETTER.
Want know why im want saga? Well..
1. Big pups.
2. Because i'm love this game
3. Small prey.
Anyways guys, its work a BEAUTIFUL. I'm always want look for an cool wolf game, so..WolfQuest a really cool game! So, my friend love toads. I'm should show this video.
