Lost River: Shaping the Terrain (Devblog)
The new, greatly expanded Lost River map is coming along nicely! For those new to WolfQuest, Lost River is a fictional map somewhere in the Mountain West, where....something....has happened that prompted all humans to evacuate the area, leaving it to the wild animals. Lost River: Classic (the OG map) will remain in the game, and this new expanded map will be available as DLC for purchase.

I began working on this last year and have made much progress, but let's take a look back at the beginning: creating the terrain. Like the other Anniversary Edition maps, this is much bigger than in the old game, and in fact (for obscure technical reasons) it's a bit larger than the AE Yellowstone maps, over 8x8 kilometers. That provides lots of room for recreating downtown, the subdivisions, and other areas of the old map, as well as much more wilderness areas to explore and play in.
Today's devblog looks at several steps in this terrain-shaping process. We'll share more in future devblogs (though giving only very narrow peeks at the new map, so there will be plenty to discover when you can finally explore the map on your own). And not to worry, Floppy will still reign over Lost River.

The WolfQuest saga will continue! Stay tuned for more news in upcoming devblogs. More maps and wolf customizations are also coming in 2022!
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.
