https://youtu.be/w20zQx4otcA We use actual topographic data to create our game maps, since they’re based on real locations in Yellowstone National Park. But the resolution of that data means that the game map is too smooth and generalized, without the level of detail that you see in the real place....

https://youtu.be/OmWX4CNXygE Though not as vast as the Lamar Valley or as spectacular as Yellowstone’s geysers or waterfalls, Slough Creek is one of my favorite areas in the park. It was a delight to return there during our visit last August! Susan and I hiked up the valley, often bushwacking throu...

https://youtu.be/zuwkEWotyMo Today’s patch has a few new things and a bunch of fixes, mostly to issues in last week’s game update.

It’s available now a...

NEW: * The cliff area has been reworked for better accuracy, and to eliminate problems with wolves sliding into spots that they can't get out of. * Added Fairies' Fall, a twin waterfall on lower Amethyst Creek. * Added two music tracks: the original "Exploration" music and new fingerstyle version of...

https://youtu.be/9JacCZp7egA We returned to Yellowstone National Park last month for another round of on-site exploration of the areas we depict in the game. Today’s video follows our hike into the northern edge of the Amethyst game map, as we ford the Lamar River and follow Amethyst Creek into the...
