- The new AI system, which Tommi has been working on for quite awhile, is in in good shape now, so let's take a look at it.
First, to clarify: This isn't new AI for the animals -- it's a new version of our AI system, which Tommi first designed and built almost six years ago. It has served us well -- but after using it for all that time, Tommi decided that we needed a new, improved version to handle the kinds of wolf behaviors that we want to create in the Saga.* This new system makes it easier and faster to create new animal behaviors, and especially to create more complicated behaviors, involving interactions between animals.
This new AI system also has an important new feature for the Saga: experience levels for the pups as they grow up. In the old AI system, pups were pups, and behaved the same whether they were four weeks old, just emerging from the den, or two months old at the rendezvous site. Now, pups have eight experience levels and, as they grow and develop, they'll gain experience and level up -- with each new level unlocking new behaviors.
So when the pup first emerge from the den, they're in the Clumsy level, rather unsteady on their feet. But they're very curious about this new world they find themselves in, and they're exploring and pushing the envelope of their abilities (and their balance). In doing these things, they gain experience and will soon level up to the next level, where they'll have most of the behaviors they've always had in the game. And then, as they grow, pups will adopt new playful actions and the beginnings of a predatory drive. Eventually, in the fall, they'll begin learning how to hunt, leveling up through several tiers of hunting ability on their way to becoming a fully capable young wolf.
We have plenty of work ahead of now to develop the Saga, but the first phase shown in today's devblog (Clumsy) will be in the next game update. That update won't be for awhile, as we still have some work to do with this new AI. So stay tuned for more news!
* In the WolfQuest Saga, the game will continue on after the summer rendezvous site. Your pups will keep growing, learning how to hunt and then helping (in their own way) raise the next year's litter of pups, and eventually (in most cases) dispersing to form or find a pack of their own. We are deep in development of the Saga and do not have a release date for it. The Saga will be a free update.
_________________________
The WolfQuest saga will continue! Stay tuned for more news in upcoming devblogs about it and other new features!
Once the game is completed on PC/Mac, we will turn our attention to other platforms.
We do not announce specific release dates. We will release them when they are ready. - เกม
The clumsy walk is so cute! I can't wait to see the final version in game!
ya
Super pumped for the saga! I hope you all are having a great spring, you deserve it!
same!
I am too! I’ll be playing WQAU lots more with all this new stuff to explore!
Me 2!!! i can't wait to sink in!!!
Ooooo! Experience levels for the pups is a great way of handling this, and it's so cute to see it in action! I can't wait to see what those future experience levels bring 👀
The pups are so freaking cute, and I have a big soft spot for games with anything related to training, the saga will be so freaking amazing and fun.
Sup!
Jay plays in her natural habitat.
ya there so cute and i have a soft spot for basically any baby animals so i'll probably die of cuteness
Sup!😊
I love how the wolf quest devs are trying their best to make this game realistic as possible, cant wait for the upcoming updates!🐺🐾🌲
The new pup behaviors are adorable, can't wait for the Saga to hunt with the pups and watch them grow up. 🐺
Hello, Raven Quest :D
I'm one of your fans
@@Sauce_0 Hi, nice to meet you!
This is really neat. I never really thought about this before but it really looks great! One thing I’d really like to see along with this would be the interactions with ravens. As it stands they are seen more as pests, but don’t they sometimes play with puppies and get attached to specific wolves? Seeing the ravens change from just carcass munchers to allies would really awesome!
They also sometimes work out where food is alongside wolves in some cases
@@jettash0720 That’s exactly what I’m thinking! The current ravens are rather underwhelming, but that just means there’s a ton of room for improvement.
Exactly. In the old game the way you mostly located elk herds were from the ravens circling above, it'd be so cool to see some of those pros of having ravens around to come back!
Yup! Wolves and ravens have a longstanding relationship of mutualism. It's beautiful, and would be SO COOL to see introduced to the game!!
That’d be so cool! Maybe if a raven gets attached to a certain pup, when playing as that said pup the raven will continue to follow and help the wolf by leading them to carcasses or herds
I wonder how good the game will be when it's fully done
Edit thanks for the likes I never had so much and I think this will be the best game.
I really hope it won’t be long bc I reallyyy want it on mobile or the switch
@@caitlindavis3552 me too
@@caitlindavis3552 SAME, BUT THEY CAN TAKE THEY TIME CAUSE ILL WAIT. Clearly it has proven to be worth waiting.
@@OliveAndJackie I’ve been waiting around five ish years now lol yeah idk if it’s ever gonna happen anymore
@@caitlindavis3552it'll happen! They just don't release dates of when it could arrive because of possible bugs and glitches. Can't blame them for taking their time to make everything clean and awesome to play :D
It would be so cool if, for the next year in the saga, some of your old pups stay with you to help raise new pups, help with hunting, and other stuff. It would be AWESOME if eventually you had a whole pack to help you.
That is what they're making.
@@oligamer6710 Oh, I thought you just replayed the pups phase. Well, that's much cooler!
@@That1VideoGamer I wonder how the dispersal system will work and if we will still be able to play as our pups…
@@MysticFoxWildlifeArt My assumption is, you'd take over the younger born of the pack. So if your wolf lasted 4 breeding seasons, but died on the 5th, you'd take over which ever 2 year old was with the pack at that point, so maybe not a wolf from litter 1 but probably one that came from litter 3 because those would be the 2 year mark and ready for dispersal by the time breeding season 5 rolled in and the origin wolf died.
@@Zanuvar I don’t understand most of that, are you saying that it will most likely be you can only play as the pups form the year of and or before your wolf died, ie if they lived to be 8 you could paly as pups fromyear 7 or 8?
Their little wobbles! Gosh, this is so cute! I’m so excited to see where this all goes! I’m especially excited to see the older pups, but I can certainly wait patiently for that 👀
Being able to see your pups grow up and start hunting with you and taking care of other pups sounds really cool
I love the idea of experience levels for the pups! It will make watching they grow and learn so much more interesting. Does this mean some pups can learn faster than others or if your an overprotective parent can your pups learn slower? Future ideas perhaps!
Also, I think I spotted a new animation on the adult wolf laying down at the end of the video! I love the aspect of more grooming in the game.
Oh my gosh!! The puppies just got even more cuter now! And we get to see them truly evolve from humble beginnings to stronger and stronger wolves!
Blimey! I'm so excited for this new AI system 🧡 It's going to be so cute watching our pups as they start acting more mature and learn how to hunt. It's going to be super cool! I'm really looking forward to the "continuous saga" update where the game continues into the next year after our pups grow up. It'll be so lovely to see our wolves live out an entire legacy and have a pack to hunt with 🥰
TOO EXCITED I CLICKED ON THIS SO HARD MY FINGER WENT BACKWARDS 😃
Yes
(I hope your ok)
HAHA I ALMOST SCREAMED
Go see doctor :)
I always dreamed of an update where when at the rendezvous site, the pups could catch little field mice or something and contribute to their hunger by them selves. Once everything’s done, I can’t wait to try it out! This is gonna be so good 😊
IM SO EXCITED THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS entertainment LOVE YOUR GAME but wait a second one of my fears are letting the pups explore I feel like a cougar is going to grab them or a bear and even worse an eagle bug that’s how they grow lol
In my head, they make it realistic. When pups are all wobbly, it IS easier for predators to get to them. It kind of makes sense for a little bit more of a challenge on that. Still super excited for it though!!
For sure. It is hard to keep pups safe.

@@joshstueber1828 Ik I have a really protective wolf she is a runt so I’m going to use her for this but one of her fears is letting her pups out of sight if there sleeping she always makes them go In a line then she will lie infront of them for safety but bee is going to have a hard time
@@WolfQuestGame oh thank you
I'm so proud of your team and i love the new puppy whine. I look forward to new growls and howls for our adult wolves.
Keep up your wonderful work and care of yourself!
Much love. ❤🐺
The wobbly pups have officially made my day 🐺❤️
this is so freaking cute!!!! i can't wait to see how managing and communication will be with yearlings!
I can't WAIT FOR THE SAGAAAAAAA
🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I'm really excited for the saga and I absolutely love how realistic you guys are making the game, I love everybody's dedication!!
i've been looking forward to a video about this ever since the ai rework was announced! super exciting to see how the pups progress now with this new framework :) i know this isn't necessarily related but it's been on my mind, will the yearling pups still have interactions and animations with one another?
You mean will they play and such like the little ones? Yearling are more like adults but they will have some different behaviors to, most likely.
Ahhh the clumsy pups are so god dang cute lol
I’m so exited for the Saga! And the pups look so cute!!
I think they don’t realize how personally I AM EXCITED for this!!! ❤🎉
Everyone’s talking about the wobbly walk but can we just appreciate this little puppy at 3:08, he’s adorable
You guys never cease to amaze me with all the amazing updates for wolfquest! I'm so happy to see how far the game has come since I first discovered wolfquest, and I can't wait to see the saga when it's finished!
I cannot put it into words how exited I am for the saga. Been a dream of mine since I was younger.
Im so freaking excited for the saga, it’s gonna be amazing! Keep up the good work.
Woah! New AI system??? That is awesome! Thank you so much for all your hard work. The new coding looks much better and cleaner like you said. Can't wait for Tower Fall!
This is sooo cool!!! I mean I think every wolf quest update makes me excited but this has honestly been one of the most anticipated features in a while!
You have no idea how excited I get when I see new Dev blogs from WQ!! This gameplay is going to be so amazing, I can't wait!
ive always liked observing the pups' personality due to the nature system but this is gonna be so cute and a much more in depth. sooo looking forward to seeing the adolescent-yearling wolves someday.
Absolutely gorgeous! All these little updates are so quick and informative with cute moments here and there. I'm so excited for this new AI system and I hope production goes smoothly. Thank you so much WolfQuest for creating the best wolf game EVER!! ❤❤❤
I’m super excited! I know this probably is not gonna get added, but I hope we’ll be able to decide if the puppy leaves once fully grown and capable or not! It would be useful in being able to develop stories and playing as the next generation!
They decide for themselves, whether ready or not :D
@@WolfQuestGame how will that work with playing as a pup?
@@MysticFoxWildlifeArt you can't switch wolves in the middle of a game to play as your pups. The only time you can play as pups is from the family tree and you're a dispersal.
@@STARTHEWINGEDWOLF yes, but if the pups find a mate when they are a year old, in the family tree will they still be playable? That’s what I was asking
@@MysticFoxWildlifeArt that's the thing. they won't be able to find mates at just a year old. only dispersal wolves (2 or more years) search for mates, and at that point you will be able to play as the wolf as normal.
the clumsy walk is so cute! every mention of the saga always gets me so pumped! i love the idea of this new leveling up system as well! as always, looking forward to it! :D
I love this, and I'm very excited to see this come to fruition :D
But my question is, when will we be able to kill eagles?
Because I very much have some good, cold, juicy revenge to start working on
We are not working on that. Eagles are pretty good at keeping themselves safe.
@@WolfQuestGame
Dang eagles and their sneaky ways >:Il
This will make this so much more interesting, I've watched this game grow since I was a little kid, from when 5 something coats existed, and where everything was so much more simple, and now everything has slowly advanced, and its so stunning, this game is beautiful, this game is my childhood and Im so so so excited for the Saga game to be released, and for the new AI system to arrive, your team is amazing, keep up the good work guys
I'm so excited omg!!! It's gonna be adorable seein them look so clumsy yet curious!!!
I hope we get caregiver wolves - pups that stay after growing up to care for the new litters alongside the mating pair. So when you essentially restart the game to have your next litter, maybe one or two adults remain with you and help feed new litters, defend territory, encourage a pack hunt, etc. Might be a lot to expect/ask for in terms of the work that would have to be put in, but it would still be so cool!!
Everyone just wants a big pack in the end, I think! 😂 But maybe that can only be gained after several generations of wolves mostly leaving and some staying - could be an adult limit of 8, and that allows for the introduction of more adult pack social behaviors and fascinating dynamics.
It could eventually be able to introduce human intervention, the threat of hunters/vengeful ranchers or even the presence of biologists taking wolves away to either place trackers or straight up removal projects to relocate some of the adult pack members (previous pups) of packs that reach a size limit.
Wolfquest is my childhood and I love seeing it expanding and becoming more and more refined. It played such a huge part of my desire to become an environmental scientist/ecologist and conservation biologist. I live in AZ, so my hope is to be involved in the Mexican Wolf Project within the next 5 years... Big hope since it's a smaller team, but Wolfquest was such an influence that inspired my path.
Thank you, devs and others, for your passionate work, beautiful creations, and educational mission in the name of Wolves!! ❤️
Yep thats part of the saga
imagine having 10-55 wolves like realistic packs! since the map is too small for perhaps 55 wolves, the developers could create an even bigger map for us to roam around?
@@lazyrat6687 an average sized pack will have as many as 6 to 8 members. But there was a Canadian pack that held the highest number of individuals, 36!!!! That's a VERY successful pack.
@@lazyrat6687 Yeah lets not pretend that there going to be that many
@@jinx6573 oooh wow. I thought Wolfquest said that there was on average 55-80 wolves in a pack in a video. I clearly misheard.
Very excited for the saga! The clumsy pups are super cute, I always thought that when you see your pups come out of the den for the first time it wasn’t actually the first time they ventured out, they were so sure footed! Lol
This is amazing! It's also something a LOT of us didn't think about. Babies don't really know how to just UP AND GET RUNNING straight out of the womb/den with fearless abandon.
Beautiful as always 💙
Been having a bad day but seeing this made me so happy. Glad the new tool will make it easier for new behaviors and can't wait to see what you do next
im always so happy when i see you guys upload a new blog!
I'm so glad you all listen to feedback. It feels almost unreal that such devs exist. I remember suggesting this, pups growing up, and I'm sure many others have as well, getting feedback straight from you all and it just felt nice to be heard.
Though to be fair, bigger devs may not be able to have such a bond with their community, so no hate, but I absolutely love this development team
oh my gosh i love how this is looking! it's so great to see these updates are still going on and that you're as passionate about the game as you've been since the start 💖
They look so cute! I love all the work you're doing with this to make it the best it can be!
Thank you so much for the work you do! I’m so excited! Love this game, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted, seriously. Every update keeps making it better.
you guys are just awesome
all of this is coming along so nicely, I'm already in love with the saga! so much new stuff and new mechanics to an already incredibly well loved game.
SO excited for AI updates!!!!!
tysm this is amazing!! i literally am so excited for the saga!! i literally love and appreciate the hard work its just so amazing wolfquest is the best!!!
I am beyond excited for the next update to come out. Not only are we seeing new pup animations and levels. But i did notice that at the end of the video it seems our wolf will also be getting new animations (like grooming while laying down). Keep up the good work!!
I am so genuinely exited for this update! I can’t wait to see my pups waddle around, and watch them grow to be a member of the pack! It’ll really help with making the game more fun to replay!
You guys (devs) are so amazing. Thank toy for all you've done, you've worked hard at wq and I respect that. Well done 👏 👏👏
Amazing! Excited but also scared because if my pups are moving that slowly when a pack of coyote roll up I'm going to be stressed out LOL
No kidding! Like this: th-cam.com/video/hOZYFh5j0AA/w-d-xo.html
@@WolfQuestGame Hah! That's probably going to be me.
Its hard to believe how far this game as come along, keep up the amazing work!!
ALMOST *7k SUBSCRIBERS?*
That's amazing, you guys are doing so good! I hope more people love this game and being a big, happy community!
I LOVE the little wobbles!! I’m excited for the update!
The game is coming along very nicely! There's already been so much change since I first started playing. I'm excited for the future of this game.
Keep up the amazing work devs! You guys are doing an amazing job
The sagas really coming along nicely, I can't wait to see where it goes next.
Wow, this looks great! I'm so excited for the Saga it's gonna be epic!
Ive known this game for at least 6 years now and i am SO excited for the saga! (I was genuinely smiling while watching this) The wolfquest team is really great because they put so much time and effort into realism and making their players happy. Take as much time as you need to make this the best it can be and we will be patient :D
i love the clumsy walk omfg 😭💖
I am tempted to just sleep eat drink and run until the saga comes out
To be honest, I never thought this would get likes at all 😂
Omg wobbly pups, adorable!!
If this game doesn't trend on steam one day, I will sob on the floor
the clumsy stage looks absolutely charming! can't wait to see all this in game some day :)
OMGG!! The little clumsy puppers and their very smol awoos 🥺
I cant wait for this!! Its a really nice idea and such, and i cant wait for the saga!
Bro I've been wanting this for so long! 😭❤
Can’t wait for the Saga update keep
Up the good work on the updates and enjoy your day
I can’t wait!!! I’m so excited for all of the new features coming soon!
I'M SOOO EXCITED THATS ADORABLE! Itll really give a feel for the pups growing... I'm so hyped! Will these stages be written in, say, pack stats somewhere, or only observable?
Yes.
@@WolfQuestGame wait...yes what? 😅
@@solar-mutt7795 They probably meant both
@@-Surthur- ohhhh awesome!
THANK YOU ALL YOU DEVELOPERS FROM EDUWEB TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE THIS GAME REALISTIC ENOUGH FOR OUR LIKING!!!! I've been playing WolfQuest since it ever came out and I cannot believe how far it has come! You guys have spend so much effort into this and even making some of your hardest projects free! I cannot thank you enough, and WolfQuest has really helped me know how hard wolves really do live, so thank you. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
this is so cool! the clumsy walks is adorable and that little awoo is heart melting. one thing i think would be intresting to add is if you could choose perks like you do for yourself on your birthday but for your yearlings. these bonuses could be like 'can sense predator attack' or something and as they grow it turns into an already existing perk. something to think about, not at all pushing you to make this or anything, generally think its neat. have a great spring Wolfquest team!
So interested to see where this goes! I am interested in how the hunting phase will look, because the dynamic of experience vs confidence while learning, and navigating injury.
I am so exited for the saga! I can't wait to see the new AI system.
Those new animations are so cute, and the sounds they make!
Can’t tell you how much I love this game. I love the community that you guys have created and how welcoming everyone has always been. It’s really an amazing game and ‘mini culture’ :)
I'm so excited already for the Saga! 😍
I am so exciting. Its so good to see the new Ai! I can't wait for the next update.
The pups are so cute, and you can't lie.
GEEZ! I’m so excited! I always am for new wq updates, but I’m EXTRA excited!
Keep up the great work, guys!
I'm going to Yellowstone in a week and I'm hopeful that I'll see some wolves when I go to Lamar Valley...this game is what got me so interested in wild animals as a kid, so thank you for your dedication! ✨
Yay! So glad you get to see Yellowstone in real life too!
This is super exciting! Can’t wait for the saga.
Oh my gosh this just blew my mind-(Really anything new and exciting with WolfQuest blows my mind.)Awesome work WolfQuest,excited for the saga!
THE WAY THE PUPPIES WOBBLE!!!! I LOVE THAT
Omg, the shaking puppies are so cute 🥺🥺
2:27 I just noticed the adult wolf in the back has a new animation! :O
It is not a new animation, to do that one, you just lay down and then press R twice.
@@ashmanemundodalugaby1874 not the laying down, the paw rubbing the nose thing
Yes we are gonna have semi packS🎉
Que filhotes fofos!!! Vocês sempre trazem novidades incríveis para o WolfQuest! 😍
Wow you guys are really going above and beyond!! The dedication to make this game realistic and accurate to wolf's life is really admirable! Thank you so much WQ devs, I cant wait to get back to playing the game once I get a new pc :))
That is ABSOLUTELY adorable, and I am so excited!!
If always wanted to keep playing past loaf at randayview sight and grow them bigger
aahhh i remember when i asked wayyy back if we'd get to see pups grow into the yearling phase and imagine my excitement when the saga was announced! can't wait to see what comes in the future devlogs :)
As someone who wants to make games i really like that y’all go into the process!!
I can’t wait until the saga! However, I’m not rushing, take your time!
Wow love it. Cant wait for the saga!
I wonder how much family there will be when you go into ‘pack info’
