You start playing as a wolf pup but will grow up into an adult wolf, if you survive. (Most wolf pups in reality don\u2019t survive their first year.) We\u2019re learning a lot about wolves &amp; building open world games in Unreal Engine, which enables us to create a realistic world of many square miles. As with any open world game, part of the fun for the player is just exploring the terrain. The screenshot is from a level of our game. We also have areas with forests, a river, and a huge cave (with bats). You can\u2019t tell from the image but the game has wind, rain, flowing rivers, etc. Another day I\u2019ll post a video clip from the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape-1024x557.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape-1536x835.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/endlesshybrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ndlandscape.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The game environment of Nightlight Discovery is an open world of nature, modeled after areas inhabited by wildlife but free of buildings and people.
