Howls & Growls: An Audio Outing
Yesterday Susan and I traveled to the Wildlife Science Center in Stacy, Minnesota to try to capture a variety of vocalizations by wolves and other animals. While we have quite a good number of these sound effects in the game, they still get repetitive, so more is always better. Our host was Megan Callahan-Beckel, Animal Care Coordinator, who took us around the facility and used various methods to prompt the animals to howl, growl, snarl, whimper, and whine.
Field recording is always a challenge but fortunately, with Megan's help, along with other WSC staff like Animal Care Specialist Elizabeth Oechsle (who played WolfQuest when she was young!), we captured a nice variety of usable audio clips. And just being there, surrounded by over 100 wolves along with so many other animals, was an incredible experience. Today's devblog takes you along on this day trip.

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.
