Wolf pups in the wild face a 40 to 60% mortality rate, which is high (but surprisingly, not horrible either). The pup survival rate in certain regions was even as high as nearly 80%. In WolfQuest, just how realistic are the pup survival rates in relation to their real-life counterparts? Is there any data available on this? I have a feeling that it is higher than real life wolves, but perhaps not by much, since the majority of multiplayer games I've been in face at least 1 pup mortality.
Maybe (?) some factors to consider:
- What is the main cause of death for Wolfquest pups and is this realistic?
- How many pups die on easy? Challenging? Accurate?
- How many pups die in single player versus multiplayer?
- How many pups die altogether (single player/multiplayer, easy, challenging and accurate?)
I'm thinking of creating a survey for this, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Maybe this question could be asked on the Discord (although I myself don't use it that much)?
