Let’s watch grass grow! Yes, we’ve finally got some of the new vegetation for WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition ready to plant on the terrain. So settle in and watch some fast-paced action-packed world construction!
A few notes:
- Our Amethyst Mountain map features two vegetation communities: sagebrush-steppe and forest.
- Idaho fescue and mountain big sagebrush are the two most common plants in the sagebrush steppe community, but we will be adding others, like rabbitbrush, pine grass, and mountain brome.
- Idaho fescue is a nutritious part of every elk’s diet.
- ]Mountain big sagebrush is also important to elk, especially in the winter when it’s often the only plant that sticks above the snow.
- The sagebrush shown here is just one model; Kerry will make some variations with different branch structure.
- The forest community is composed of Douglas-fir on lower slopes and a mix of lodgepole, Englemann, and subalpine fir at higher elevations. The trees you see here in the distant forest still uses one of the old tree models; Kerry is working on new and improved Douglas-firs right now.
