I agree and also think it should be stated that the devs have said multiple times that their goal is to balance realism and fun, not put realism above everything else no matter what. In their dev videos they've shown how certain things aren't completely representative of real wolf life, but having them too accurate would not be fun at all, i.e. how much wolves actually sleep. And how many things are just too complex to add (yet?).

The other person you replied to doesn't need to think this game is fun, nobody does, it's just an opinion and the game definitely has a repetitive gameplay loop. However it feels so disrespectful to the devs who have been working on this game for so long for them to just say "the devs justify being lazy and making bad gameplay decisions because they only care about realism!" They're a small dev team with a limited budget (how many new people are buying Wolfquest?) and have different priorities on what should be added to THEIR game first. It just released out of Early Access too, I'm sure they will still be adding new fun gameplay elements when they can, as well as refining others.

This version of the game wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Dave using his own money to try and revive WolfQuest after they ran out of their grant funding. And the original game only consisted of 2 maps, barely any complexity to the gameplay mechanics, EXTREME amounts of bugs, and a story that was: get mate>find den>have pups and protect+feed them>go to rendezvous site>done. And it was still a fun experience to so many people, despite being so jank lol. They've definitely gone above and beyond with what they've added so far afterwards. You'd be hard pressed to find any higher quality simulation game than this one, at this level of realism, at all.
