Opening Doors in Lost River

[@laststorm1279]

the demonstration going wrong was genuinely funny. Just hearing an audible click, a silence with nothing happening, then a confused "huh"

[@mswolfy811]

A fun little look into the imperfections of the process ^-^

[@HER_Only_sIN]

I thought I was the only one who was giggling about this for like 5 minutes

[@kradembakar]

I am so GLAD that this game exists! It has brought me joy and happines beacuse I have always waited for someone to make a perfect realistic wolf game. It has also been my childhood. Thank you WolfQuest for making this awesome game!

[@Legacy-sw7bv]

Really I just love any game that can (near) perfectly embody reality, creating a challenging, story-driven survival experience without fantasy (nothing against fantasy, I love it in many forms, but it's nice to walk on a new path sometimes). On paper, surviving as a wild animal seems simple as a game concept, but when designed this well, it becomes an amazing experience. There's no epic, novel-esque journey because you play as an animal in our world. As animals, we've grown incredibly distant from the hidden life or death adventure in wild nature; and after millenia of civilization and technological development, it was was made into a simulation for fun and learning. The hidden struggle, adventure, and world experience itself within a premise that sounds mundane compared to our wild imaginations, that's Wolf Quest. Our beautiful world and the endeavor to simply survive what we'd deem something horrible, but what this world is designed on, that's Wolf Quest. Wolf Quest is a simulation of a wild animal's life. An entirely different world in a realistic digital copy of our very own with realistic locations. If you never visited Yellowstone before playing, it'd feel like you walked right into a digital world, going on to discover the lands beyond the map; but it's the exact opposite. Wolf Quest tells the story of our world, opening eyes to the wild and fantastical world we overlook. How wonderful

You should play the original Version , it's free.

[@trashcant9651]

I remember when I first started playing Wolf Quest at around 9 yrs old. There was only Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek. Now as an adult I’m so excited and happy to see how far this game has come! Looks amazing, can’t wait to play again. Lost River is my favorite map

[@jankajavorska9777]

THIS!! SAME HERE

[@laylonlee229]

You guys are so awesome. I bought the game about a year before Slough Creek came out and it's so amazing to see how much progress you guys have made working on the game. I'm so proud of everyone pouring their souls into making this game realistic, educational, and also fun for the players. I can't wait to see The Saga come to life as well as playing on the new Lost River map! I love wolves and have been studying animal behavior for the last few years and I also love to game so this is like a two in one dream for me. Thanks so much for all your hard work! Don't forget to take breaks though! You guys definitely deserve it. I'm always so happy when a new video comes out, I always watch them. :) Thanks again!

[@CallMeW00F]

These uploads always bring me such joy. I've been playing WolfQuest since I was 12. I'm now 22, 23 in October, and in college to become a vet. Yet despite the years this game holds such a special place in my heart and I STILL play it to this day with my friend who i've known for just as long. The excitement we had when we could raise puppies together... lol I just want to thank you all on the WolfQuest team. You played an important role in my childhood, not only giving me something great to enjoy as an animal nerd, but also a safe place to find friends. Without playing WolfQuest, I would have never met the people I did who got me into digital art. I would be on a completely different path in life without the ripples caused by discovering a wolf game on my 12th birthday. I'm sure that sounds dramatic, but... It's true. Again, thank you guys so much. Your game means more to me than most.

[@zmbiey]

its such a trip seeing human environment mixed with these wolves after playing with them in the wild for so long :D this is amazing, thank you devs for always keeping us updated!

[@eleanorehoffacker2135]

Wow, WolfQuest makes such an effort to make this game the way their players want it. The fact they go out of their way to read the feedback of us shows how much they pay attention to their players' needs and wants. They spend so much of their lives piecing together this game even if it takes years. I could honestly wait forever to see the finished product of this game, the community here is so cool! Have a blessed day!

[@alistairlempkowsi8814]

This is going to be so cool!! I never thought about being able to explore the buildings as most games don't bother, this is a cool change :)

[@scyphoz7032]

Seeing the wolves fighting right next to the furniture inside the coffee shop is yet again reminding me just how huge wolves are. Imagine sitting down for a cup of joe and you see that

[@TheSpiderOfRome]

I can’t wait for this to come out! I’ve wanted pups in lost river for ages!

[@genesissabiox4475]

I've got to say, it's a delight seeing this community still thriving and being so supportive of a team that works extremely hard on a game. I also want to thank the team for allowing us to see how the game itself is actually created, all the time that gets put into the development and the patience you've got to have in order to get things working just right for players. I've always been fascinated by game environments and all the processes involved behind the scenes, so thanks to you all for allowing us to watch your progress. It's awesome!

[@caroline6218]

Im so excited for new Lost River map! The inside looks great, has that spooky abandoned atmosphere. Lost River always reminded me of abandoned Chernobyl. As it looks like in Lost River everyone left the area in a hurry and without taking much. The coffee shop being left as it was enhances that Chernobyl feel. Being able to go inside some of the new building is going to make new Lost River feel more immersive. It would also be cool to see building that haven’t soot the test of time as well as the others. Like parts of the building have collapsed and plants have taking over. I always appreciate these dev blog videos!

[@SalemTheKat3]

The Time And Effort The Wolf Quest Team Has Put Into This Awesome Game Is Amazing. Y’all Are Making Me Impatient About What’s Coming Next. Keep It Up!

[@c0rrupxt]

Can’t wait!

[@cainineiscoyote1355]

I liked the idea of the lost river map. When i first started playing, I thought it was nice that you made a map around human things. I started making my own game on wolves because of this. :)

[@Void_TheDemon]

That's really cool! How's the game coming along?

[@cainineiscoyote1355]

It’s going pretty slowly, due to the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing and that I’m working alone. It’s somehow moving forewarn though! :)

[@elizabethcampbell8848]

Super excited for the Lost River DLC! Great job Wolfquest team!

[@Celestial843]

Wow Wolfquest. You are so good at making games. You work so hard to make us enjoy the gameplay! Ever since I got the game I was in awh

[@theRedneckqueenofTacticoolness]

Thank you so much for the brief mention of the saga. It can take even a couple more years and I will still be here to support it whenever it releases. Btw the coffee shop looks really great - it’s awesome that we will be able to go in some of the buildings, that’ll definitely add some fun immersion that the other maps can’t provide.

[@CainAut]

Since I was a kid, I loved watching WQ videos until I had the opportunity to play Classic WQ. Seeing the direction and proportions it has taken over the years is simply incredible... Amazing job making this game so real as them.

[@pinapplesonpizza1588]

It's crazy how hard-working everybody on the team is how you are willing to push your limits in game development just to get our suggestions into the game Watching this journey of WQ[AE] since 2018 (when I first discovered you're working on this) has been a blast and it still is to this day

[@zilllowthead8230]

This is the most realistic game I have played! You started with very low graphics to full on realism!

[@winegum459]

[@milanokano4716]

You’re doing great guys! This is a really good detail for exploration! I can’t wait for the dlc!

[@AveryCF]

The lost latte and the choo choo chai look super cute, and I kinda wanna try them, lol. Given, they probably taste like the regular stuff and just have cute names, but still! Can't wait to explore the buildings and check out every last detail. (Or see if the map still scares me.) As a kid, I got terrified, like the place was haunted. (I remember when the original released, hah hah...) As an adult? I somewhat look forward to finding out if I've grown past my discomfort, or if the new map will still manage to spook me. Scare or not, definitely buying it. Support for the team, and more content!

[@ladyviper4449]

It would be nice if there was lots of human interactable(s) that are currently in the game, (Like the hats, or human shoes, etc) that show up more frequently or there are a ton of in this area! There could also be water troughs (since this looks like an old wildwesty like town, or some sort of water source that the wolves can drink from (A leaky faucet on the street or behind a building that has made a puddle over the years or a small little pond due to erosion) ^^

[@lupinwhiskers]

LRs lookin great so far! I do hope the shops named after community members get copied over from the 2.7 map, those were fun easter eggs

[@spoiledrottenpets5409]

I am so excited for Lost River! I will definatly get it! I can tell how much work is being put into it! I just came back from Yellowstone two weeks ago. We had a huge Bull Elk come up to about 30 yards away from our campsite. We watched a herd of probably 500 Bison. We saw a wolf chilling out with a bald eagle. (Yes, a wolf :D) We got photobombed by a Bison. We saw a ton of Elk. (And BABIES!!!!!!) We saw the baby Bison. They. were. adorable.

[@Lamar_755]

I love WolfQuest as a hole it helped me to develop my interest and love for wolves, however I struggle with the realism of this aspect of the game. I was thinking about it though and an abandoned building with the front door broke off it’s hinges showing the inside of the building could spark interest to an animal like a wolf or fox.

[@WolfQuestGame]

There are millions of realistic details that won't make it into a game for lots of reasons... most having to do with gameplay, performance, and the budget - to name a few.

[@Rorosella]

As wolfquest devs said there are a lot of details I can imagine that dont make it to the game for very specific reasons. and I commend their work greatly. they're amazing at what they do for such a small team. but i will say the animations of the animals themselves... seem stiff? Maybe not the environment but im hoping that once they've established all they need story wise that they can do some tweaks to those animations specifically to the wolves.

[@UnknownTwig]

Hey! I'm not sure where I should write this but have three small ideas for the game, two based on real wolf behavior and one being just a cool possible feature, I hope others enjoy my ideas lol 1 the most important one that I would absolutly love to see implemented: playing as a deceased iron wolf only in multi-player mode. I just though it would be cool to show off one of your past iron wolves to other people like "hey here is their story, how they died, how long they lived, etc" and it would be a sweet way to remember your past iron wolf. 2 maybe some berry plants wolves can eat from while raising pups, I remembered watching a video somewhere(shared by you guys I think?) about how wolves have been seen to eat some kinds of berries while feeding pups to help with giving them nutrients and its a cute idea to see your wolf eating some berries for your pups lol 3 (one hat i know probably won't get implemented but is an idea i think others could like) *gay wolves*(well, kinda, I say that as a sorta joke) I know its not how they usually function in the wild or in the game, due to needing to pass on genetics and have pups, but I have seen something talking about how sometimes, if the mate dies, the wolf will pair up with one of the same gender in order to finish raising the pups, and it would be kinda cool to see if maybe after your mate dies while raising pups for a short time you can get another wolf of the same gender to help raise the pups the rest of the way, and then when the next year rolls around you can find a different mate of the opposite gender. I know that one is very much long shot so keep in mind its only an idea, and im actually curious about any other research into that.
