The Pup Chase

The next big game update is getting very close to public it’s not quite there yet. So in today’s devblog, let’s look at a new pup behavior. It’s one we’ve had on the list for a long time: a chase, with coordinated action between two pups. One pup playbows to invite the other to chase it, then runs off hoping that the invitation will be accepted. Tommi tackled this to try out the new AI system (which mainly has converted AI from the original system, plus a few new behaviors like this). But while preparing this devblog video, I hacked the pup AI to make them chase all the time (easier to get good video then), and realized that what we really needed were group chases -- one pup chases another and other pups nearby can’t resist joining in. So Tommi expanded this behavior to include that -- and that along with many other things will be in the upcoming update -- which should be in public beta very soon! _________________________ 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.
