Here's the new WolfQuest game icon for WQ3 and future versions! Longtime WQ player, community member and former moderator Sambhur created it for us. Isn't it beautiful?

For those interested, you can find more of Sambhur’s work over on DeviantART!

Hi wolf quest I was wondering… Will the other animals get an upgrade like the birds and the rabbits too and the big cat ( I forgot what the big cat was called) any way thanks if u read this

While not shown alive, hares actually will have an updated graphical model shown in the devblog entry Moveable Feasts. Expect to see these in WolfQuest 3. 

As for the others: if it hasn’t been teased yet or no information is publicly available at this time, we cannot provide an answer. 

@LeahM Again, please make sure you have read the asks and submissions page before inboxing us to make sure you are using the correct form – blog mods don’t respond to submissions, which is why it was instead copied into the ask form. Thanks!

Will wolf quest anniversary edition and tower fall be available for iOS and Android?

Will it be available for mobile phones and tablets

Yes…at least some of them, and/or in some form. We are remaking the Amethyst and Slough Creek maps – they will be much larger, with more animals, and that may be too much for mobile devices with limited RAM memory. It’s been difficult to get the current game to run reliably on some devices which have only 1 GB of RAM memory, and we are not sure that this new episode will run on those devices. We’ll do our best, but there’s a good chance that some mobile devices won’t be able to get it, and/or we will have a simpler version of it for some mobile devices.

Developer’s Blog: Teen Pup for Tower Fall

The new pup for Tower Fall is coming along! Here it is alongside the younger pup from Slough Creek (about 6 weeks old) and an adult wolf. This is based on a 3-1/2 month old pup, which is the pups’ age in the first part of the Tower Fall episode. At this age, the pup’s body looks more like an adult, though with oversized ears and paws and gangly legs. The eyes have just changed from blue to yellow-gold. These pups are still dependent on their parents for food — but they’ll now begin to follow the adults on hunting trips and observe (though usually returning to the homesite before the hunt is over). 

They’re still vulnerable to predators and, without a den, will conceal themselves in tall grass when adults are away.

As you can see, we’re using wolf coat textures from the adult wolves for these pups. We’ll tweak the younger pup textures as needed so each pup will be recognizable as it grows, though some changes in coat color and pattern are natural and inevitable as pups grow up. We’ve relied heavily on the International Wolf Center for reference material for these new pups — and they have lots of fascinating videos on their YouTube channel!

Next up is rigging: that’s where we create a digital skeleton, made up of bones and joints, that we then use when creating the animations that will finally bring the pup to life!

Developer’s Blog: A Fresh Start

Some of WolfQuest’s game code is over ten years old now — that’s older than most of the wolves living in Yellowstone today, and older than some of our players! Over the years, that codebase has grown enormously, and while we’ve revised, refactored, and rewritten large chunks of it, it’s certainly feeling its age.

That’s why we’re starting over with Episode 3. Every line of gameplay code in Tower Fall will be fresh and new. Tommi, our lead Unity developer, has been working on this new codebase for over six months now, merging his knowledge of WolfQuest gameplay with some fresh perspectives on code design.
