Shaping Up the Saga

  • (I'll be traveling this weekend, so releasing this devblog a day earlier than usual.)
    The WolfQuest Saga* has been in beta-testing for five months now -- plenty of bugs to find and fix, but we're also making hundreds of improvements too. Many of these improvements are suggested by our beta testers, so in today's devblog I'd like to look at a few of those.
    1: Companionship with a sick pup. We added companionship long ago to give players some chance of helping their pups recover from sickness. But it can feel burdensome as gameplay. You feel like you really should spend all your time with that pup, but you also have things to do! So betatesters suggested adding a cooldown, similar to social emotes. This has been a great improvement: you can put in some time with your sick pup, but you don't feel guilty if you then go off and hunt and maintain territory. We limit companionship to two game-hours per day (five realtime minutes) before the cooldown hits.
    2: When you have yearlings and older offspring, any packmate can decide to go on a hunting excursion. They invite other wolves, including your wolf, by whining. But it can be a bit hard to know who is planning to go and who's planning to stay. So beta testers suggested indicating this "planning to go on excursion" mindset in Pack Info. We created a small double-pawprint, which appears next to the name of those packmates. And then once on a trip away from the homesite, a larger pawprint icon appears there in Pack Info. This gives more clarity to each packmate's situation.
    3: Fights with rival wolves can get pretty wild, with packs of eight or more wolves involved. In fall and winter, pups of the year are involved in these fights, and their older packmates get upset if you bite one of those pups, so it's important to know who's who. So we implemented a beta tester suggestion and added a small yellow dot on the Fight or Flight meter above those pups. So you can go in knowing that you're risking a more vigorous response if you bite one of them.
    4: Pup raids by competitors can theoretically happen at any time -- but from the start, we prevented them from happening while the player-wolf was sleeping. This of course narrows the window for attacks considerably -- not when you're sleeping, and not when you're away from the homesite. That really leaves only a few game-hours each day -- and so raids often appear soon after you wake up. We've gotten complaints about that over time, so decided to finally solve it by allowing raids to wake you up from sleep. We put in some constraints, ensuring that you get at least three hours of sleep, and this change did solve the problem. This new feature didn't bother many beta testers -- you get woken up, fight off the raiders, and go back to sleep -- but some beta testers really, really hated it. So after trying to finesse it more, we finally disabled the feature, and again limit raids to your waking hours at the homesite. That's why we test things in private beta before releasing them!
    5: Playing with your pups. As your pack grows, it's fun to watch your pups and older offspring play together. In fact, it's so fun that beta testers felt rather left out of the fun. They really wanted to be able to join in -- at least doing the playful, bouncy trot. So we added that (pressing B key on the keyboard toggles on this gait on and off). And furthermore, we enabled a special playbow that packmates often use when inviting others to chase them. So when you're in this bouncy/playful mode, if you do a playbow, your wolf will do this Invite Chase playbow. So now you really can be part of the fun.
    All this is coming soon in the WolfQuest Saga -- later this year!
    The upcoming WolfQuest Saga is "the rest of the game," where your pups grow up as you have a new litter each year. Time will continue progressing through the years until you die. We expect to release it later this year (but we have not set a release date).
    ____________________
    The WolfQuest Saga will continue! Stay tuned for more news in upcoming devblogs about it and other new features!
    We do not announce specific release dates. We will release them when they are ready.

    Dear devs, please don't omit the idea of predator attacks waking you up. It's realistic, so it would suit realism play well. It would be pretty neat if there were sliders or options to choose from to tweak the gameplay style (like with the death of sick pups) for more laid-back players, hardcore realism gamers, rps and the ones in between. A simple "predator attacks wake you up" on/off button is enough for this feature. It will make the game a lot more fun for a wider range of players. I recommend checking the ratio of attacks on pups during the season in real life and scaling it appropriately to the gameplay seasons.

    Nice to see things coming along. Probably one of my favorite dev vlogs so far for the new features discussed and the feedback given from beta testers.
    Biggest highlight for me is joining in the play chases with the pups. There's so little you can actually do with the pups besides watch, feed, and protect them- emoting too, but the emotes don't really feel all that interactive and connecting. Something like this is what I've been hoping for, interactions that make you feel close to your mate and pups. The animations are so cute and fitting as well! Awesome stuff.
    Other big plus for me is the UI additions, should take out a lot of the guess-work and I think it's interesting to see what your packmates are up to.
    On a side note:
    I agree that the predators waking you up would be really annoying and tedious, especially if you get woken up multiple times while trying to sleep. Feels less thrilling to fight off an attacker when they only appear while you're asleep.
    I propose a different solution. Allowing predators to attack when you're not home. There was a breif period just before the release of age perks where I started to notice this happening. I assume it was a bug that was patched since I have yet to see it since the release of age perks iirc. I actually really liked predators attacking when the pups were outside with my mate and I wasn't around. Now, there *were* times this happened and my mate was incapable of defending the pups at all, causing them all to die (probably why this was fixed), but other times my mate chased threats away fine while I was off doing things. Was really immersive to me and made the game world feel less player-centric.
    I think this would solve the issue of not having enough predator attacks while also not just bombarding you with raids when it's least convenient. I imagine it would only apply to pups who aren't in the den when you leave.
    Of course, I can see a lot of people not liking this due to the lack of control you'd have with defending your pups like this, and the uncertainty of packmate's AI responding effectively. Perhaps there could be some togglable options or an addition game difficulty to allow this? Just my thoughts anyway.

    As we get later and later in the year, I get more excited. I haven't heard anything much about mobile play, I think I vaguely remember it being mentioned around the first saga log but I'm not too sure. It's shaping up to be an amazing game, I hope whoever gets to play the saga enjoys it, I'll be sure to purchase it when I have enough to afford my own PC instead of an iPad for gaming purposes if it never releases on mobile. If anyone knows of anything official (and permanent) about mobile support for Anniversary Edition please let me know!

    I love the new bounce option! Maybe it could apply to other emotes beyond the playbow too! Like licking a puppy on the ear or rolling more over onto your side with the roll over emote.
    Keep up the great work!

    I love the change you guys mentioned for sick pups. Losing puppies to random sickness is realistic, but from a gameplay perspective it's always been the opposite of good design, encouraging LESS activity and more AFK 'play' rather than providing any real additional challenge or engagement.
    Suggestion, in that vein: the higher a sick pup's food and social numbers are at the time, the better a chance it has to survive, too. So it encourages keeping a pup well-fed and played with, making it MORE engaging rather than less. Plus it'd be more realistic, I think; a well-fed pup has a better chance of survival than a starving one! Keeping it "warm" by keeping it company (with the time limit) is also cool, but it's still afk play, so that'd be a neat change, maybe?

    I personally love idea of wolves waking you up and also recently I have been thinking what if there was a harder difficulty. (brutal reality?) Then some of those features not all players agree on still could be used. (and some new ones)
    Such as letting a wolf get more injuries at once. Then injuries wouldn't be just a speed, stamina, strength reduction, but oh no I could die. Or Bleeding, where just escaping rival wolves doesn't mean your safe, it could work kinda like the poisoned meat in Lost River. Maybe pups could drown again but if they had no energy? Bears could claw at the den and possibly grab a pup from inside. (I would love more danger and chance for death lol)
    Just a few thoughts, anyway super excited for the saga!!
