We've released the next big game update, featuring Saga modes for multiplayer games, the new and improved grass and wildflowers, and many more improvements and bug fixes!
NEW - GENERAL
* New option in Game Settings: Allow Classic Coats on NPCs.
* New option in Game Settings: Graphic Settings to disable lightning flashes (during thunderstorms).
* When an Ironwolf or Elder Wolf dies, new "Decide Later" button to the Death panel; choosing this option creates a special save with a tombstone icon, so the player can open it later and choose their heir.
* Added genetics for inherited eye color.
* Added Presets for Graphics Quality settings.
NEW - MULTIPLAYER
New Saga game modes:
* Saga Year (5 players): Play through one year as a pack, from Establish Territory to Young Hunters.
* From 2 to 5 players.
* All maps except Lost River Classic.
* Public, Private, or Pack games.
* Players can come and go over the course of the game.
* At least two players must be in the game to have pups after choosing a den.
Full Saga (2 players): Play the entire Saga with one other player, as mates and leaders of your pack! Raise each litter together, year after year, until one of your wolves dies as an Elder Wolf.
* Two players, no more or fewer.
* All maps except Lost River Classic.
* Friends only, no public games.
* Each player must use the same wolf for entire game.
* Both players must be in the game to have pups after choosing a den.
* Player-wolves can age up (or choose not to).
* Family Tree is generated as in single-player, with pups who become playable, and when one player dies as an Elder Wolf, the host can continue the story of this pack by starting a new game with one of the pups in the Family Tree. (The other player will be an unrelated wolf as usual.)
* Unlockable coats can now be unlocked in 2-Player Full Saga.
* Plus nine new Multiplayer Saga achievements!
NEW - VEGETATION
* Upgraded the vegetation rendering system to allow denser grasses on high quality levels and interaction (grasses and plants bend when animals move through them.) Performance should be similar (a bit better in some places, a bit worse in others, but overall very similar). On "Grasses and Bushes" setting (in Game Settings:Graphics), Enhanced and Maximum options enable denser grass and interaction.
* New wildflower: Yarrow.
* Improved the Arrowleaf Balsamroot model and added it to other Yellowstone maps (was only on Hellroaring).
* Added late summer vegetation (Huckleberry and Snowberry bushes have berries) on all maps (was only on SC until now) and adjusted timing to they first appear in July rather than August.
There are many, many more improvements and bug fixes. Peruse them all after updating your game (click the version-number button in lower-left of the main menu to display them), or in our Knowledge Base: support.wolfquest.org (search for "patches")
