Last year was all about the WolfQuest Saga. We finally released it last month. Now it's 2025 -- what are looking to accomplish this year for WolfQuest?
First, of course, is expanding multiplayer with Saga quests. We have some plans but nothing to share yet about specific multiplayer modes. But we've already started by doing some code revisions to make some new Saga features work more cleanly in multiplayer. Once these are done, we can dive into actual MP development. So stay tuned!
With the Saga out, we can also start looking things that have long been our wishlist -- like bison herds! Finally, those old bulls will get some company. We won't have the vast herds that you can see in Yellowstone (for performance limitations), but we do want to add small herds with cows and calves. Bison respond differently than other ungulates to wolf attacks, so with some new AI behaviors for the bison, these herds will offer a new challenge for players.
And Tower Fall is now back on track. We set it aside three years ago, to avoid (or at least minimize) confusion between the Saga and this DLC map, but now we can turn our attention back to the map. Due to the topography, this map is rectangular rather than square, nine by six kilometers. It encompasses the actual Tower Fall waterfall in the northeast corner and extends south to Mount Washburn in the south. Along the eastern edge is the Yellowstone River canyon, and extending eastward is Antelope Creek Watershed -- a vast upland area of rolling hills and valleys. Plenty of room to chase elk herds!
What else? We have plenty of ideas, of course, and we'll share more as we go. But we won't be publishing devblogs biweekly this year. It takes time to create a devblog, so we'll do them only when we have something to share. So stay tuned for updates throughout the year!
