"It’s devlog time!"

This is our second devlog, and today we’re talking about something no cop can survive without — the tools of the trade.

In the story, you’re given command of a police department in the toughest part of the city. Budget? Barely exists. Support from above? Forget it. Calling in SWAT? That’s a distant luxury — not a viable option.

Remember — you’re on your own.

But in return, the governor turns a blind eye to… certain methods. Sometimes, the law has to bend — just enough to keep it from breaking.

Your people rely on themselves — and their creativity. Especially when it comes to what they can carry in and out.

Sometimes it’s forged.
Sometimes it’s “found on site.”

We’ll reveal all the gear gradually, as it becomes ready.Let’s start with wave one:

Lets you peek under doors or through cracks to see who’s already waiting for you.

Possibly with a shotgun.

A bad cop looks through the keyhole.

A good one turns on the borescope first.

Borrowed from the firefighters’ toolkit, this thing tears through window bars and doors with ease.

Loud as an explosion — but perfect for creating entry points.

Hook into surveillance cameras to see who’s sitting where.

Disable the alarm to sneak in quietly.

Hack a computer — and decide:

📥 Save the dirt?

🧨 Or erase the evidence for good?

Silent. Fast. But not always easy. Sometimes a door is the last line of defense —

or a trap.

What? Explosives?
No, we never had any.

We heard the suspects were messing around with a gas tank. Or maybe some fireworks.

Who are we to judge?

Back in the first game, doors were… let’s say, very principled: either fully open — or not at all.

Now? They’re smarter and more flexible:

• By default, doors open at wider angles

• Nearby furniture and objects affect door behavior

• Barricades, sir. Barricades.

Hi Everyone,

The last couple weeks have been busy. We were finally able to get a complete list of issues that need to be fixed before releasing to demo.

We have 13 open items that we feel need to be fixed before releasing to everyone to enjoy Blam! Blam!

One of the most common things that was brought up while we've been play testing has been "what am I supposed to be doing?"

To address that question we double down on UI while improving playability. We added game mode information into the match for the first few seconds and if for whatever reason someone missed it we added it to the scoreboard as well. We've been keeping a good pace so far going from nearly 2 dozen issues to the 13. Our hopes is to get it out to everyone soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Come join us on our Discord. E33 Studios Discord We would love to hear what ideas may be fun to implement.

Pfew that took a while.

I worked on the UI again, needed to recreate it since the old one was really itching me.

On addition to that i created the basics for the crafting system, fixed some underlying problems in some of the base game mechanics and reworked the pathfinding for the npcs and their scheduling system.

All stuff needed to create a living island.

WolfQuest is now out of Early Access!

It's taken us awhile to get here, which raises the question: What does the "Anniversary" in the title refer to?

* It was twenty years ago this summer that we started working on the idea of a wildlife simulation game about wolves.

* It's been ten years since we were finishing up the first revival of the game, WolfQuest 2.7/Classic.

* It was six years ago this week that we released the second revival of the game, the from-the-ground-up-remake, WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition, into Early Access.

The game has grown a lot over these twenty years -- and most of that is over the past six years. The game is much bigger than it was then, so to better reflect the size and scope of the game now, what it offers players, we are RAISING THE PRICE to $30 (US). We think that's a fair price for what you get. But to avoid penalizing anyone who waited until now to buy the game, we are delaying that price increase for two weeks, until August 5th.

To commemorate the game's release, we've released an update today with a couple new things. The biggest one is a set of FIVE NEW COATS! We realized there a paucity of medium-brown coats, so this new set is called Minnesota Browns. Four of these coats are based on Ambassador wolves at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota, and the fifth coat is based on Y1T, a wolf in Voyageurs National Park who has been captured on trailcams by the Voyageurs Wolf Project.

Read the patch notes below for all the details.

We are delighted to finally reach this milestone -- and we could not have done it (or come anywhere close) without the enthusiasm, devotion, and patience of our players. Thanks to everyone who has supported the game over all these years! And we're not done yet!

* A set of five new coats, called "Minnesota Browns." Four are based on Ambassador wolves at the International Wolf Center, and one is based on Wolf Y1T in Voyageurs National Park.

* "Classic Map" territory configuration for Amethyst and Slough Creek, with spawn point and territory area roughly based on the original game.

* Special collectible object in Slough Creek, and a new hidden achievement for it.

* Easter egg in Lost River DLC map.

* Wolf Coats: Popup window shows short bios of wolves when coat is based on a real wolf. ("i" button to toggle on/off).

* Wolf Coats: Revised version of Original: Beige coat.

* Wolf Coats: Revised version of 10M coat in Yellowstone Coats: Founders set.

* Some "finish year" multiplayer achievements are not unlocked in certain circumstances.

* Game softlocks when clicking "Sync Now" in game scenes when having a local corrupted file that can be overridden by an older version from server.

* Minor terrain and vegetation issues.
