Version 1.3.8 is now live! This update is
packed full of content! We're really excited about this update we've added the 100 floors of the dungeon and will continue to work on it for future updates. We have added new tools, furniture sets, a new creature and more!
We made a small video showcasing this update. If you like the video update let us know and don't forget to share it with your friends. :) We have posted this video on Twitter and Facebook as well.
From the devs..
We,
(Dan and Kristina), wanted to let everyone know that we are working on Garden Paws and it is our main focus, we have started the process of getting Garden Paws on the
Switch but have no eta at this time. We are also working on Potion Paws at the same time but want to reassure the community that we are working on Garden Paws.
A little bit about us, we have been making games for years and find we work best with taking creative breaks. Potion Paws and another game we recently made (
Farting with Friends) allow us to be creative without feeling burned out. (Yup we're weird, our breaks are us working on other games.)
We are just letting the community know as we've seen some concerns brought up that we're working on multiple projects at once. We understand your concerns, but rest assured we are giving
110% to both games.
P.S. If you want to download "Farting with Friends", for free you can do so here. It's a
multiplayer game we made in a couple days where you play as a cute skunk, (yup the one coming into Garden Paws), and your goal is to knock out your friends by farting on them. During these hard times we find it's a great silly game to play with friends, so we wanted to share it with everyone.
Sorry for the rambling, let's jump into this update.
The Dungeon is complete! ...kind of
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/62d237dc3e8bd4efd6a7c1ac0d428d8c691de617.png
The new Ice Dungeon features new versions of the old enemies and a whole new Furniture Set!
In this update you can now play past the first 10 dungeon levels all the way
up to level 100! We have added the
Ice Furniture set, a snazzy
Ice Cape and an
Ice Wand that does a little bit more damage.
You can play up to level 100 and you'll notice
environmental changes and
stronger monsters as you progress but we haven't added all the bosses, furniture sets and monster variations yet. We plan to expand on the dungeon in future updates.
A little tip for
dungeon divers that want a challenge, try shooting the mushrooms on the right when you enter dungeon from smallest to largest. Or was it from largest to smallest, it was one of those two options. By doing so you'll enter
hardcore mode where you will have less hp and the monsters will be stronger, but hey
more loot!
Birch Trees and Bee Hives
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/977eee5dfc7c00eea0ca892c1b59457eaf597e4f.png
We are pretty excited about a new gameplay feature, growing your own
Birch Tree Farm! Once you have built the Tree Farm for Bruce, they'll be able to start selling you
Birch Tree Saplings! It will take several days for the tree to mature, but once it does you can chop it down for
Birch Wood and a chance for rare item drops.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/d609f2aad08f705ec92fb3865d007b75d3476cdf.png
The rare items you can get range from seed mystery boxes to bee nests. The
Bee Nests are a new item you can use to craft your very own
Bee Hive! This hive acts similar to the natural occurring bee hive, where you can gather a honey or honeycomb once a day. We heard you want less of a honeycomb grind, we hope this helps.
Birch Furniture
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/ffefb4fff7b701808a41bfba22d4a36be0c2191d.png
Now that you have all that Birch Wood you can use it to craft one of the many new, and profitable
Birch Furniture items! These items can be painted with the furniture paint brushes, and when painted they'll be in soft
pastel colours.
There are some new
Birch Bonsai Trees and other great new items to find in game.
New Upgrade: The Castle
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/e5c7e98602b2e3020e82ee754e2c6e26287f3cd3.png
Once you have commissioned all of the town upgrades you will be able to commission your very own
Castle from Frank! The Castle comes with plenty of room for your building needs, a new workbench with new castle furniture and even a special pet!
By purchasing this upgrade you're also showing you're the best and the mayor has granted you permission to build anywhere in and around the town.
New Upgrade: Cosmetic Tools Shop
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/5f1598d6dda851ac71227cd1bf2ff0676df37444.png
Once you have upgraded your tools to Gold you will be able to invite
Cosmo to open a shop in Florens. Cosmo will sell variations of the gold tools with a cosmetic flair.
There are currently
20 cosmetic tool variations for you to purchase in styles ranging from
ghost to
flowers and more. We plan on adding more tool variations in the future,
let us know in the comments what kind of tool variations you would like to see.
New Creature: The Skunk
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/a094096315d5e01304abc189faaff2cb10b72950.png
Remember that game "Farting with Friends" that we mentioned? When we made the
Skunk character we fell in love with it and had to add it to Garden Paws.
Not only this creature is really cute, it's also
useful in your farm. Once tamed the skunk will drop lots of poop and even
fertilizer.
The Skunk can be found in the
forest biome, is tamed with
chicken eggs and will be at home in the
Forest Animal Habitat.
Fishing 2.0
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/023a3982d3dfc9583aad00185f369507d56c496c.png
We have made some tweaks and improved fishing, starting with
two new upgrades! The Silver and Gold fishing rods will
reduce the catch time and increase your odds to collect rare fish, while decreasing your odds of collecting trash.
We have added a few
new rare fish for you to hunt down as well, these fish are too pretty eat but they sell for some nice coin.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/5bf519c62cf97d93bdcc9af5b2717ab92d92c99e.png
There is also a new
Trash Fishing Rod that is by far our favourite. It will only hook bottles, soggy paper, fertilizer, glass, seaweed and have a rare chance for mystery boxes and other "trash" items that we're sure you're going to enjoy.
The Fishing Experience has also been improved with a rare chance for
mystery boxes to pop up while your fishing.
The gamepad has some significant improvements to make fishing more enjoyable and relaxing. When you use the gamepad you simply pull the joystick in the direction of the fish and click to catch it.
Let us know what you think in the comments!
New Item: Stone Sprinkler
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/87d158d2c5a8db7dcccc38799fd1b6672f29d402.png
After seeing some gameplay and hearing feedback from the community we've noticed the sprinkler can be hard to obtain early game, if you're not looking for it.
To make the game more enjoyable your grandparents have sent the
Stone Sprinkler Blueprint in your first Summer in Garden Paws. It will act the same as the copper sprinkler in terms of radius, but will require different resources to craft.
We hope this makes the game less of a grind and more enjoyable for those looking to start Garden Paws again from the beginning. :)
There are too many emotes so... Emote Wheel!
We had a bit of fun making some
new emotes, but found we had too many and forgot to tell people about them in general. (What you didn't know you could fart with ".", have a chance to poop and then sell it to your customers? Yeah we added that crucial feature.)
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33228384/f7e02d6c0ff5fd53be206311b59510c6bd49a68b.png
If you hold down Z an emote wheel will pop up! The emote wheel features the emotes we already had in the game plus 2 new emotes, the wave and the pout!
Gamepad Improvements
As a part of the Switch porting process we've been reworking the Gamepad controls for Garden Paws. This update should fix a lot of the gamepad issues pointed out by players and improve gamepad gameplay overall.
If you find any problems with the gamepad play please let us know so we can address the problem.
