Lost Paws News

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]Though times may pass, and seasons change, our favorite canine returns once again. Presenting update 1.0.8, with a World Map Overhaul, many Sound Improvements, and a few bug fixes to boot![/p][p][/p][p]Our previous map, despite all its glory, ran into a problem most disagreeable. This issue concerned barricades (and maybe a few misplaced happy little trees). It had come to our attention that the players yearned for greater visual clarity on their maps, and clearly our advanced GPS systems just weren't cutting it. So we went back to the drawing board, for the maps clearly needed to update for major obstructions along our wayward dog's journey, much like internet maps informing you of your impeding doom up ahead on a roadway.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is an example of what the World Map looks like now when you're starting out fresh-faced[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Here is an example of what the World Map looks like now when you've unlocked many major pathways[/p][p][/p][p]Following our full release in November, it became clear that the local Cat Traders were collectively in on a shell game targeting all fluffy dogs! This was obviously unacceptable, and maybe a little unintentional, so we got to work ensuring fair economic play was occurring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and floof.[/p][p][/p][p]Cat Traders now no longer report incorrect size restraints on how much inventory you have left[/p][p][/p]

• [p] Crowds now have many new sounds to respond to barks and bonks[/p]
• [p] Certain Quest Items now have a special sound added to them when acquired in game[/p]
• [p] Fixed a bug involving the loss of an important Quest Item due to some dubious selling habits[/p]
• [p] Made several archways in the Government District respect the laws of gravity better[/p]
• [p] Reduced a certain Green Bag's stealth skill in Beaver Town to make it easier to find[/p]
• [p] Fixed a door in the Government District that may have allowed you to fall into The Backrooms.[/p]
• [p] And several more![/p]

[p][/p][p]Thanks for reading all about our new story on the Map & Sounds Overhaul! Going into a jolly winter time, our canine friend will be back with more surprises, and many more improvements planned on the horizon. Thanks again for checking the update and we'll see you in the next one![/p]

Our new dog can sit, pee, breathe fire, and cause mayhem with the best of them and look cool while doing it. The dog is fully compatible with every wearable and action in the game. As with the other dogs, this one is available from the dog selection panel when starting a new game.[/p][p][/p][p]Look who is ready for a big adventure:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This bold adventurer was chosen due to a mix of quality reasons as well as a desire to have different dog vibes.

Ostrich Island is a brand new zone to explore in the game. Packed with new scenery, a new mini-map, and a massive ocean, this island was designed to feel welcoming and relaxing. That vibe is a little tricky though since the the toughest enemies also roam around. If things ever get too hot on the island, you'll have your very own safehouse too relax in with all the amenities a dog could want.[/p][p][/p][p]The island of a dog's dreams:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The goal with Ostrich Island was to give a change of pace as the story reaches its end, and we like to think that it certainly accomplishes that.
