- The history of WolfQuest...continued!
At last, the second chapter of our documentary video series about the history of WolfQuest. This chapter covers the continued development of the original game from 2008 through the end of the project in 2012...and then the revival as WolfQuest 2.7 in 2015.

"oh no... _trees."_ 😭😂 the absolute terror in tommi's voice is so funny
2:48 “The game got a couple other awards, but that one was my favorite.”
The shade man! That roast was legendary.
This might get lost in the comments, but my father is Steve Allison-Bunnell, aka WileE , and I was 8 years old when V 1.5 was in development. I remember the long nights he pulled, debugging, re-writing, and tinkering with things I had no comprehension of as a kid. Growing up in Montana, with Yellow Stone being a regular spot to visit over winter and summer break, Slough creek and the Lamar valley are places I know and love from an expedition that I was lucky enough to be a part of, led by biologist and wolf expert Jim Halfpenny, as part of the research for the later iterations of wolf quest. Even years later now, I am impressed and heartened by the community that this game has supported. Thank you to to Dave and Grant and everybody else, and most importantly, thank you dad, for the game that so many love to this day.
Hey Camas, thanks for those memories! We never would have pulled off WolfQuest without your dad -- thanks for sharing him with us!
Ever since I saw Seri Pixel Biologist play WolfQuest as a kid, I was obsessed! I finally played the game when I was around 10-11, and enjoyed every minute! I followed the development of the game and eventually followed WolfQuest AE, and I bought early access as soon as I could! And now, I'm nearing adulthood and still play to this day! I've made so many friends, memories, and experiences throughout my time as a player. Thank you for all your hard work WolfQuest team! Much love!❤❤❤
Edit: Woah where did all of yall come from? Hello fellow Seri fans!
i love seri!! ive been so obsessed with this game growing up, and i love following it and playing it still
I remember when her first wolf quest episode came out! Downloaded it shortly after and played it constantly, cried way too much and never beat the game. (All my pups drowned at the final river crossing every time)
IlovewolfIreallyappreciatefewgoschools12131415161718192021myage
Bro I love seri pixel biologyst. Her series is so nostalgic! I used to watch it all the time when I was little, I re-watch it occasionally, it's still good!
@@lemonshobbies Why is this so funny 😭

"yay! wolves!... oh no, trees"
me when drawing
The level of PTSD anxiety that I felt at those drum sounds.... xD 5:52
Man, I remember this game being paired up with other animal rp games like Feral Heart, Dragon's Den, Animal Jam, all those kinda games. The good thing about WQ is that while all those other games fell from grace, WQ came back and better than ever!
Feral heart killed themselves early on when they would have registration open at random times which you would never know when… it took me over a year to register. They tried to save themselves later by opening it up for everyone but at that point the community was already diminishing rapidly
@@underdog2116literally
Seing Jay there makes me smile. She was the reason I started WolfQuest. I would watch her videos as soon as they came out LOL
love jay and seri!
@@OMGITSPANDA REALLLL
Jay is also one of the reason I started playing wolfquest agian. Seeing her vids made me remember about wolfquest😁
YALL KNOW THE DRILL, WAKE UP!!!
Yes we have all been summoned 🫂
The wall of funny texts that they found in games was so great "Names Blaze, but you can call me Blaze" LOL
Being proudest of the 'waste of money' thing out of all the awards is fun. Fits the community.
My favorite game since 2008! Always so pround of how far the game came 🐺💜
Oh My God when Tommy Horttana the WolfQuest Developer Eduweb said “…oh no, trees.” Had me rollin!🤣
I joined during the Dark Ages. I remember snooping around the forums for years and spending hours upon hours playing the game. I joined the forums when 2.7 was being developed and while I never really interacted with anyone, I was in awe of how amazing the community was. Been following and playing ever since and WQ is still one of my top games. It’s always one of the top 3 things I install first on any computer I get, haha!
When the mobile version was released for Android, I remember downloading it right before my trip to Montana and played it at every moment I could. It was absolutely amazing to compare Amethyst Mountain to the landscapes of Montana. It felt so close to reality! It was so amazing. I will never forget those moments.
What an amazing story, thank you for sharing!!
this game has been with me since i was like 8 years old. im now 23 and watching this
thank u for everything, wolfquest
I love this game so much. It was Seri Pixel Biologist who introduced the game years ago, and I bought it right away, and never looked back. Great job, WolfQuest Team.
I remember the good ol days. It still warms my heart being apart of this from 2008.
Yep, I've been with WQ from the very beginning too. I'm in my 30s now and owe so much to the game...it's basically fostered my love for the environment and my eventual career in the environmental field
@@ASolitaryHowl I just turned 25. So I 1000% feel ya
@@ASolitaryHowlomg, I remember you from the forums! I used to be so scared of you as a kid haha
@@fakebird2 Oh no, why? I wasn't ever mean to anyone I don't think!
@@ASolitaryHowl tbh I was afraid of all the mods 😂 This was when I was 10-11 and I was terrified of getting in trouble or worse, receiving a warning
To me, Wolfquest will always be THE #1 Animal Sim! It’s really extraordinary.
The journey of wolf quest as a game and community really grew up with me. It makes me so happy seeing Wolf Quest AU edition and how far this game has gone, almost makes me shed a tear even
It's been so wonderful watching this game really grow up alongside me!
Same! It's amazing!
Oh my gosh, this hit me in the face with hard core nostalgia and I couldn't stop smiling. I joined Wolf Quest when I was about thirteen, fourteen years old, and it was just before 2.5 released with weather, followed by the game slowly dying without funding. To see it on Steam years later excited me to find out they got money to continue the game once more and being around when they realized they had to recode the game to make Wolf Quest 3/Anniversary edition was so much fun. Being there to see the game become modernized, originally in preparation for Tower Fall when the game did episodes, instead of the upcoming saga.
The howling and music at the end just put a stupid grin on my face as I remember hearing that ALL. THE. TIME, as the ending to the original. (I also remember the eagle sliding across the ground, and my pup flying into the air.) I'm so happy Wolf Quest didn't die before it could tell its story. It's hands down one of my favorite games I have ever followed the development for and loved playing. It's solely because of this game that I learned so much about wolves and found a love for them, being more a feline person myself.
I geniunely cried a bit when Seri's playthrough started playing, it brought back all those years i spent watching her lets plays that originally got me into the world of animal loving and Wolf Quest
I haven't seen game devs more dedicated in my whole life, really love everything you guys have done for the community
I remember accidentally finding WolfQuest when I was in elementary school back in 2008/2009 and falling in love with it. It’s so amazing to see how far the game’s come since then and being able to play as an adult has made me appreciate it so much more
I’m so glad Seri got a shout out it’s well deserved I don’t watch her that much anymore but truly she made up more than half my childhood
I was definitely obsessed with WolfQuest in 2009-2014, it was a foundational part of my youth. It's amazing to see how it's grown in recent years.
One thing that I can't fathom is that the WolfQuest project will turn 20 in only 4 years. To think I've been playing the game since 2011, when I was a little kid in 4th grade.
I remember when WQ “ended” mann. Whenever I was bored, even if it was years later, I would look up wolfquest again and check the forum for updates. When it costed money at first I couldn’t afford it since I was a kid and didn’t like asking my parents to buy me things. Now as an adult I adore anniversary edition from the bottom of my heart ❤
Yeah
Oh my gosh, that Seri clip. THAT CLIP WITH LUNA AND THE PUPS. That’s what got me into WQ 🥺
Discovered this game when I was 10 years old in 2009. I still play it as a 25-year-old 15 years later. I can't wait to see it finished. ❤️
I'm only 13, but I've been playing ever since the release of the mobile version if wolfquest came out. I remember killing the herds of elk in the hunting spots and just running around exploring for the first time. As soon as I heard that anniversary edition came out I begged my dad to let me use his laptop (that was a gaming one but he didn't realize that till after he bought it) so I could play.
Oh, man, the nostalgia this video just brought me. Feels like I'm right back in my childhood getting ready to play on the family computer
I understand completely, Tommi. As an artist, I too, adore wolves and fear trees. Thanks for sticking it out to create my childhood! 🐺🩶
Wake up guys! WQ uploaded!!!
May the fan base live on and the game grow in popularity once more
I played 2.7 and was made to delete it as a 7 year old. I saw someone play it and loved animal games, i was alwqys looking for them.
When I became 10-11, I discovered SeriThePixelBiologists channel and began playing the Aniversarry edition. It was amazing seeing how much the game had changed, I remember finding her video and be like; "I played this years ago.. and now it looks like this? *wide mouth*"
The game really is amazing and im so happy you didnt dump it, and i am excited to see the finished product!
Just hearing Seri's voice and seeing the footage of her old Wolfquest videos warms my heart. I remember binging that series for so long!
wolfquest is a huge encoreging force for me i want to be a wolf biolegest some day and i wanted to thank all of the devs for insperation
I've been playing this game since I was in the fourth grade, about ten years now. It's something I enjoyed so much, I think I played it more than any other downloadable computer game I had. I lost access for it for a while, but I'm so so glad I've been able to purchase it and its successor and relive my love for the game again. I can't wait for all the exciting new things being added to Anniversary Edition, and hopefully many more year of love and enjoyment to come!
I've been knocking around in the WQ community since 2008 though I've not been one to post prior to the last few years.
Let me say that you have a great community that has grown up around your game.
I also have long appreciated the dev vlogs and effort the team clearly puts in.
Wolf Quest has been a beloved project from the start and it has certainly stood the test of time.
Thank you for revitalizing Wolf Quest! 🐺 I hope you do get to finnish your dream for this game. I look forward to seeing it in whatever time it comes. Quality is important 👌 👏 🙌 ✨️
I absolutely LOVED Serie pixels biologists wolfquest videos! They were a big part of my teen years
I think it was Seripixelbiologist who introduced me to the game, and I've been obsessed since, its kind funny to remember how much I played 2.7 despite having a smaller amount of content to play than anniversary edition, i actually still play it today.
it's crazy to watch this back. ive been playing wq for the better part of my life and i remember sitting there waiting for each new release of wq 2.7, this video makes me so happy yet so sad at the same time
Gosh I remember those days. For me it was early 2008. I am so glad I got to be a part of the community, back then and now. I still remember the absolutely chaos of a hype on the forums in the days leading up to the release of WQ Slough Creek.
My favorite slough creek hack would be to choose the saddle meadows den, and hunt loads of elk before having the puppies. They wouldn’t despawn between seasons so you could just have a constant food supply right below your den.
Been supporting since like 2012. Found it randomly when looking up animal games on youtube. Theres an almost completely untapped market of good animal games, and wolfquest finds its niche. It's realism strikes people but the thing I love the most is that they actually have AI for npcs, everyother animal game now adays is just a pvp battle royale bloodbath.
As someone who’s been here since Slough Creek, this is so amazing to watch! I found WolfQuest through Seri Pixel Biologist, and it holds a special place in my heart. Also, that Seri clip made me cry, it’s been so long since I’ve watched a video of her playing the OG game!! ❤❤
I remember I was 9 when I played the first episodes still in developement. Now I'm an office worker. It passed some time and I grew really attached to this game.
I have tons of memories from old school WQ, especially multiplayer, so many warrior cats roleplays lmao. I was in one of the biggest ones at one point. I remember chasing prey to the den because you couldn't move the pups and you couldn't pick anything up lmao.
When i was back in grade school, i played wolfquest on my friends tablet, i couldnt do anything but hunt but it was absolutely mind blowing. I recently got my own computer to play it after watching hours and hours of seri play the game and watching videos on the development, im so proud its come this far!
Been here since the beginning of the game and I'm so proud of how far they've come from the very first game to THIS. It's absolutely gorgeous and so many details to the game. I'm forever in love with Wolf Quest
I met my best friend of probably over 7 years now on wolfquest as a kid, we still talk all the time to this day and I literally can't imagine my life without her lol
this game seriously has the best community and it will always be a staple of my childhood :)
I'm pretty sure I played this when I was a kid at a science museum back in 2008-2009, and ever since, I have been a die-hard WolfQuest fan. I've never come back to a game so many times over the years. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you have all put into this game, WolfQuest Dev Team. I'm excited to play this with my son when he's old enough to.
The clips of the old game made me so nostalgic, and I think I gasped when I heard Seri’s voice. This game has been a light in my life (and a hole in my wallet) for so many years now and I wouldn’t have it any other way
I remember getting my first tablet as a kid, and stumbling across wolfquest 2.7 while looking for games to download. Ever since that day I've been following the journey of the game, I remember all of the many anniversary edition dev blogs, I remember being so excited when the game finally released for the very first time.
I first started playing in 2013, it was a huge part of my childhood and i'm so glad to see the game still up running and evolving, it has so much potential! Literally no game like this one out there, can't want for chapter 3!
When he started playing the bear attack music I got goose bumps. It’s so crazy, I grew up playing this game with my sister!! I still play wolfquest AE I still can’t believe how far they’ve came. It’s awesome!
Was a volunteer at the Minnesota Zoo back when the game was still in development. Even went to the game’s launch party. Love seeing how successful it ended up becoming. Still have my official wolfquest t-shirt i regularly wear to bed 😊
I played WolfQuest when it first came out as a young kid. So fun to watch it grow!
Wolf quest has been apart of my life for 7 years. I remember I loved watching Seris videos of WQ and falling in love with it and I bagged my mom so much to let me get the game and finally she did. I was so excited an do remember logins my pups so much. I Still play 2.7 since it was childhood.
I remember first finding wolf quest during the peak of my Wolf obsession phase- around 2015 or 2016. Im happy to see how far this game has come!
I found this game when it first came out, I was 17. I've been following along and playing ever since! And watching this journey has been so great. I can relate to it in a whole new way, now. I'm working on a canine-themed card game project which has been in the works since late 2018. It always takes longer than you think!
Wolf quest was my childhood, possibly even the first game I've ever played
My older sister and I both played this game when it initially came out and years later it’s still a game we can bond over ❤
I love this! Im one of the og's played since before wolf quest 2! I have always loved it, its one of my childhood games!
It's so nice to see this game grow since I started playing as a kid in 2009.
Mann, wolfquest has been part of my life for ages. I've grown up with the game and the community, and it makes me so happy to be able to see how far this game has gone!
It really set my path of games. Im in Uni now studying game art, 10 years down the line at least lol.
I’ve been playing wolf quest since I was 10 and from day 1 I’ve been obsessed! Man seeing the old version of the game brought back so much nostalgia
WolfQuest was the first game I ever played on the computer-of which I thank you GREATLY for making it compatible with Macs, because that’s the only computer my family had at the time. I played from age 9 until maybe 12, a while after Slough Creek… But your reappearance in my YT feed made me remember how exciting and adventurous the game made me feel. I rebought it on Steam recently and it’s even more amazing than I remembered… Thank you for this nostalgic video and for bringing back those wonderful memories with the new version of WQ. I’m so excited for the release of saga, keep up the amazing work!!
I had no idea this game had such amazing history. It beats any other game I've ever seen. A game without greedy developers who clearly put the money, effort, and everything into making this game, it's a seriously rare thing.
I love WolfQuest so much. I'm growing up and it's growing up with me. This game is truly amazing and definitely my favorite game ever.
I have played since I got a phone, I met my very best friend through a multi-player game. We've been hanging out and talking and playing together since we were about 12. We'd have never met had we not both found and played the game. ❤ Thank you so much for this beautiful game.
Seven years later...
This brings me so much joy to see, learning the story of the game I love and seeing the usernames and faces of friends. I'm so proud of wolfquest, and the people that have made it what it is today. To many more years to come!!
WolfQuest has been a special game for me through so much of my life! Finding it through UA-cam videos back in like 2010, playing the game and being terrified of bears 🤣 exploring the new weather and animations in 2.5, taking a day off school just to play 2.7 when it came out (and you bet I played it ALL day!). The revival was so exciting and I remember following every devblog waiting for AE, even though I didn't have a good enough laptop at the time I always followed the game news, and when I was finally able to play it felt just as special as it did when I was a child making great memories and living out my wolf dreams 🐺💚
I honestly love these little documentary stuff about Wolf Quest! I didn't even know the game was government funded at the beginning with grants, but I'm so proud to see how far it's gotten since the beginning and I'm excited to see what's to come!
Really have loved playing and watching the game progress through out the years, always loved wolves and this game has brought a new perspective towards them for me and I had learned so much just from playing this game alone. It's such a beautiful, realistic and wonderful game that I can enjoy and have fun playing with my friends, I will always be a fan of this game and it will always be one of my top favorite games❤
I've been playing Wolf Quest since 2016. It has been my most played game, and my longest played game
This is such a great way for players to learn how the game was developed. Thank you for sharing this story (ps: love the nod to youtubers like Jay and Seri)
As soon as im stable within a career and this new hobby ive picked up id love to start funding the game whenever i can, it may be some time but to me its worth the future investment. Wolfquest is my childhood and allways will be!
Remembering the first slough creek is so nostalgic xD You guys really made that level SO difficult, I considered it a success as a kid if I had one pup barely surviving to the end hahaha. Literally no hope for the others. And the instant death rivers you were required to cross through the entire map while an eagle was chasing you and waiting for you to drop a pup!? It was so much fun though!!
Seeing the one guy say the "ima go play Meadow" brought back some old memories. I remember sinking hours into both WQ and Meadow lol
Marking the territory by pressing the P key was an absolutely genius idea.
I discovered WQ back in 2013, I was much, much younger then, and oh my god it had be INVESTED. The music, the gameplay, everything! I loved the classic, and i love anniversary even more. Hell, i love even the developers! It helped me learn about wolves and their dynamics, just, everything. I waited and waited since my mom never wanted to spend money on games, so i waited, got a job, and then went to town splurging my money on everything, buying all the DLC’s etc, never regretted a thing. I usually am pretty greedy with my money, but thanks to the devs and their transparent development, i decided it was worth every. Single. Penny.
Just know that while the game is great, yes, you guys as the devs are the ones keeping it alive, you are so wholesome, and unfortunately it is difficult to find any good game with a good set of devs, just thank you guys, you made my childhood and i’ll keep on supporting until I’m able to.
Abraços do Brasil WolfQuest!!!! 🇧🇷
Eu comecei na versão 2.5 do WolfQuest. E nunca o abandonei desde então. Fiquei extremamente feliz, com a versão Anniversary Edition!
E sinto que o público Brasileiro cresceu nos últimos tempos. Espero que o WolfQuest continue conquistanto o mundo. Assim como me conquistou 💛💛💛
opa!! também acompanho esse jogo desde a v2.5, bons tempos.
Também acompanho desde a versão 2.5 😊❤
Thank you WolfQuest devs for bringing this wolf game to life.
Throughout the years I've been playing Wolfquest the only person I can thank is Seri pixel biologist for making me love this game, I can't wait for the saga it's already looking great I hope this goes on for a long time, anyways all thanks to Seri love her.
I started playing soon after I first saw Seri so around 10 years now and I love this and seeing how much it has progressed. Great job devs can’t wait to see what happens next and so excited for the saga!!
THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE BUGS AAAAAH
-the infinite experience bug
-the bug of marking the territory in 20 seconds
-the bug of drowning all puppies to have them the same color as their parents later
And much more that I don't even remember!
But seriously now this game is so important to me, it was the only game I played for hours and hours and it helped me through one of the most difficult stages of my life and I still play it to this day! This game is almost like family to me and it's one of the most comforting things I have in my life.
Finally a second part!! And focused on the era where I got into the game, the pre-2.7 "dark ages"!
Seri is the main reason that I discovered this game and I love it so much 😭❤️
I have vague recollections of hearing about WolfQuest in its early days, but being talked out of it by my then husband. Now I'm a lone wolf for the most part after divorcing my husband and returning to my birth family. These days, I live alone, but not far from my family, forming part of my human family's satellite pack, and have come to WolfQuest's Anniversary Edition. I think if I'd played WolfQuest back then, I may not have had the appreciation for it that I do now.
I've had a really successful play through in my very first try with an Ironwolf male, Kidar, and his mate Shania, on Challenging difficulty, and I'm looking forward to continuing the Easter Pack's story when Saga is released. (They're named the Easter Pack because the pack was founded on Easter Sunday.)
As someone who is passionate and fairly knowledgeable about wolves, I love the balance that has been struck between realism and gameplay for this game, and I'm looking forward to playing it with some friends who I've roleplayed with in other games for many years now, because they're all really interested in this game after I shared some screenshots of it while I was playing.
When I was younger I absolutely loved Wolfquest (still do ofc). I would play it with my friends all the time, something I wouldn't have been able to do if it didn't come out on mobile due to them having to play on mobile! I also remember thinking Wolfquest was some kind of genre as well, so I would try to find "Foxquest" so I could play as a fox in the same way. Love this game and the childhood memories it gave me
WOW! I'm loving these videos. This was great! WolfQuest is such a nostalgic game for me as well, I remember /begging/ my parents to help me download the files because I couldn't figure it out haha. They were skeptical about viruses and things but eventually agreed, and it was soooo fun as a kid. And even now!
I am so hyped for the next episode
Ill be back in 6 years for part 3 xD love you guys. Great job, cant wait for more!
So amazing to see all the memories and how much the game has progressed through the years and is still releasing more updates to make it feel so real
I've been playing this game for like.. 5-6 years..? maybe 7, even, i lost count.
I started this game when i was really young and somehow didnt get bothered by all of the gore in 2.7 and stuff, i just though "hey wolves, i love wolves".
honestly im glad it didnt bother me and i kept playing cause i met some of the most genuine, kind, amazing friends through this game. this game is honestly the best thing ive ever played in my life and im so glad it exists. I really have to thank WolfQuest for being the reason i met some of the best people in my life.
Aww! What a blast from the past! I've been playing since 2014 (10 years already, holy moly!) since I was 13, and I've just loved every second of the journey. Y'all are the best dev team out there, I'm convinced.
❤honesty the p key was really funny to me🎉can’t wait to see more!!!!
Been playing since… 2012? One of my favorite games ever as a kid.
I actually remember the newsletter of the grant money running out and I was absolutely devastated as a kid. I thought it meant the game was gonna be deleted 💀💀💀
Wolf quest was also the first ever game my mom let me download, since it was government funded
i love how you added the howling at the end from the originial wolfquest ending!!! that was a nice touch!! SOOO glad this game didnt stay a dead game.
