Buzza's Banjo Pups for the Saga

[@imthefishandshesmygills]

"The puppies need their own instrument" CUTEST THING EVER??????

[@sparklysprinkles5973]

The soundtrack for WolfQuest literally makes the game imo. Buzza is quite literally an artistic GENIUS for this and all his other work

[@Bitchy-girl]

FRRRRRR

for real!! its one of the most distinctive video game tracks i know

yeah! i might get the music DLC sometime

[@katherinefugate_]

he’s also an amazing teacher - he was my choir director for 4 years! taught me everything i know

[@caramelcopcat]

Why does the idea of your puppies growing up beside you with their own tune make me tear up?!?! This game is so beautiful, it couldn’t be better

[@PoloWolf47]

I mean it could be better if the sky didn't go green but I get your point 😅

[@caramelcopcat]

@@PoloWolf47The game isn’t finished yet, its not perfect. but even as it is right now its the most realistic animal simulator ever, so thats awesome!

I was having the best nap of my life but this is 10x better!

[@Ladysenorita-cx7pd]

I’ve been waiting for so long for this update

[@hostile-elf]

there's something about the banjo (characterizing the pups) fusing with the guitar in the hunt theme that makes it sound like a transition between a youngster into an adult, like this is the turning point for them. there's even something proud about the guitar and the banjo together, like the parent watching their child grow and take this big step in their life. ugh, why is it making me emotional!?

[@starbullets]

couldn't have said it better myself! the pride and excitement of raising pups really shines through in the music wonderfully!

[@Luna-ej4mi]

2:05 “….I was not pleased with it… So I thought “well Buzza you’re just gonna have to learn how to play banjo.” So I got a banjo, and gave it a try.” Bro learned how to play a new instrument just for this occasion. My respect for Tim Buzza 📈📈📈

[@Luci._ricee]

Dude the freaking journey this development has gone on is making me so happy, fr making me cry

[@Luci._ricee]

Not to mention I also love the stories in all of the music

[@TheStarWarriorHorse]

I have never seen an indie game developer put so much love, time, and effort into their project. One of countless reasons why I love WolfQuest so much! 😊💞

[@PoloWolf47]

Yup! And WolfQuest has ruined every other animal survival game for me because none of them can even come close to the depth and complexity that the Devs give WolfQuest

[@FerralVideo]

"They're singing their own song now." That one hit me. Incredible. I love what y'all are doing here. I'm so excited to both see, and hear, the Saga. Also love the dedication. How I imagine the conversation going: Banjo? I don't know how to play a banjo.... ... Banjo? Buzza, you're just going to have to learn banjo.

cryinnngg the way theres so much meaning behind this music, especially about the growing kids since.. yknow thats the update, its so FRREAKING CUTEEEE

[@rebeccab719]

HUGE kudos to this guy. A banjo has got to be one of the hardest instruments to learn how to play - and certainly one of the hardest string instruments! And he did it to play this beautiful, new, fun music. You're awesome. Just straight up awesome.

[@KeeleyTheGamer.]

I love learning about the reasons behind certain music tracks and the way wolfquest does it is SOOO good using certain instruments for certain wolves in the pack

[@boyinblue.]

This game has the most amazing music development, I've never once gotten bored or annoyed with the soundtrack.

[@willowbloomfield4402]

It's always confuses me why this game doesn't have all the awards etc. The dedication is incredible.

[@wolvesforlife4981]

Hearing the melodies all put together immediately put a smile on my face!!! I love the fact that the parents still being the adults and the puppies bringing in the fun is present in the music. Maybe even changing the fight music and chill music to be a little different in the fall/winter (when you just yearlings and no puppies). Even adding a little bit of the hunting melody when at the rendezvous during the summer and the puppies are hunting toads and the new little rodents! That be epic as well!

[@niakittyrose]

This guy is amazing! The way he talks about the music and giving the adults and pups their own "instrument", as well as how he represents the wolves in different ways using the music is just so interesting!

[@tfstarrynight]

BABE WAKE UP WOLFQUEST JUST POSTED

[@21chemH]

I've noticed that the player wolves have the Bark emote! Not the soft woof, but the alarm bark to warn the pack of danger. And when danger seems to lurk and approach, our mate never lets out even a little woof. I hope in the Saga update our mates will have some alert commands, maybe the slightly older subordinates too instead of running around fearfully or rushing in to fight whatever may threaten the pups lol.

[@RippAda]

[@grimm6176]

OH I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! The upgrade to Banjo was so good. I can't- The words have left me. I don't have words. That's so beautiful. Gosh, mixing the themes, making them more "grown-up" for babies- It's like watching them grow up with music and after playing this game for so many years, that is not an ending I ever thought I would see. They've always been "puppies" to me and now they'll be old enough to take care of themselves! The emotional attachments I will have with my pack now will appear superficial with the saga update. I already pay such close attention to them (I have a dedicated notebook divided into sections with all my wolves and their babies, with their babies' personalities and own stories being noted down under their names before getting their own section in the book when they grow up) but now watching them develop further into their personalities and watching them become more individual and eventually leave will CRUSH me like Shelter 2 did... MISTER BUZZA SIR YOU ARE SMACKING ME OVER THE HEAD WITH THIS MUSIC AND MAKING ME CRY! Shame on you!😭🐺

[@AnnoyedWoof356]

The hunting with pups theme almost sounds ominous at points, I find it very fitting for this game, hunts are fun and high energy but also risky for the young pups looking forward to seeing how playable pups will work in the saga, will we still be able to play as our grown pups?

[@PoloWolf47]

I'm quite certain we'll still be able to play as the grown pups, it'd be a really stupid move to take that feature away cos it's a massive part of the gameplay for a lot of players lol

[@DodieYT]

This entire process is amazing! Learning you incorporated new instruments with familiar themes! Absolutely loved hearing Tim Buzza's explanation for why he included the things he did. I'm no music expert, but this is definitely something to appreciate! Thanks for sharing this, WQ!

I don't think wolfquest would be the same without Tim Buzza's music, it really is amazing and adds wo kuch life to the game. Im not sure who played the music in the old game but if was amazing too!

Im loving the amount of effort to create the game... its just amazing. Sure, music is there to make you feel something, but also to make the game, less empty. But, the amount of effort for every scenario in music, is amazing

[@finnianheart]

hey tim! not sure if you ever read the comments, but i want you to know that that slough creek music at 0:16 is probably what i would describe as "the music of my childhood". i grew up OBSESSED with wolfquest, with my favorite always being the slough creek update, and the amount of times i heard that music is innumerable. honestly just hearing it made me nostalgic. i'll never forget as a child always drowning 3 of my 4 wolf pups in the river so that i only had to work on protecting one for the whole game LOL. anyways, i'm 21 now so i really did grow up with that music in my ears, so, i guess what i'm really saying is, thank you! your music has had a far greater impact than you probably think :)

[@calyxkodiak]

music is such a beautiful way to capture the progression of a game and buzza you are a genius for your contributions to this game

[@eventidemonoxide8788]

3:50 dudeeeee this sounds AMAZINGGGG

[@pine__cone]

You should record multiple takes of the same song and have the game choose them randomly when the song is cued. It's still the same music, but very slight little changes would probably make it feel more wild and alive :) just a suggestion!

[@FerralVideo]

I like your suggestion. Though remember that WolfQuest has a dynamic music layering system. So really the game is already prepared to make little tweaks on the fly while you're playing, as appropriate for the situation. That's something Mr Buzza can't really convey easily during one of these "stand up" presentations, but more something Tommi and his team have to take care of on the back end. Scroll way back to the old "Play That Wolfy Music" devblog for more about how that works, though that's a VERY old devblog talking about the original implementation.

[@DAISYDEVIL2007]
