Alpha has been released!



We're excited to announce the closed alpha has launched!


October 20th we released the alpha to Kickstarter and Backerkit backers!

Currently the alpha features 30+ hours of gameplay with some of the features you'll see in the final game including:


  • Run a shop selling everything from poop to crafted furniture.
  • Over 100 quests.
  • Raise chicks to chickens, or start taming wild animals like Bunnies.
  • Craft and build a home and furnishings.
  • Start farming with more than 10 crops currently available.
  • Multiplayer is in, currently with a max of 2 players per lobby.


We have lots more coming to Garden Paws and thank everyone for their feedback from playing the demo and thank you everyone that is playing the closed alpha.

We have the closed the alpha orders, the earliest you'll be able to play the full game is December of 2018, right here on steam.

Here's what we're currently working on:





  • Our main priority is always fixing bugs right when they are spotted, we thank everyone that has helped us catch (and release) them right away.
  • We are working on the Halloween update that will be out in the next few days, including a whole new island, costumes, and more.
  • The first furniture set has been implemented, including the bed which can be used to update your spawn point. We are working on more furniture sets.
  • Two habitats have been added to tame the Cat and Bunny with more taming options coming.
  • The next crafting workbench we hope to implement is the Flower Workstation, here you'll be able to craft bouquets and other items in the future.
  • The 4th playable character, the Fox, has been added. And thanks to our Character Design backers on Kickstarter, we'll have more playable characters coming to Garden Paws.


There are three of us that have been hard at work since before the Kickstarter, and we wont be paws-ing our work anytime soon.

In the last couple months we have been working on the core mechanics of Garden Paws as well as some fun features like Twitch Integration.

With Twitch Integration any viewers that have typed in chat in the past 6 minutes, will show up as a customer in your shop in Garden Paws.
