The Summer Festival is here!
We have a lot to cover in this post, we just did 2 new updates this month (1.2.8 and 1.2.9) and we (Dan, Kristina and Thiago) have a lot to share with you!
The Summer Festival and its 3 minigames
If you enjoyed the Easter Festival we have a great surprise for you! When you reach summer in the event area of the town you will find a brad new Summer Festival!
Balloon popping, lawn mowing and memory game!
In the Summer Festival you'll find 3 new mini games with great prizes! Each mini-game gives you Summer Tickets that can be used to purchase Mystery Boxes that will give you a random prize when opened.
There are a lot of new items as prizes! Shorts (9 Variations), Tankini (9 Variations), Floaty Accessory (5 variations), Skirt (4 variations), Flower Lei and Marshmellow on a Stick.
We also have new summer inspired furniture pieces coming with this update, including a Diving Board that functions like the Trampoline.
BeachBall, Beach Chair (6 Variations), Picnic Table and the Diving Board
With these updates you will also find Roman selling some new blueprints that will unlock 6 Fence variations! These fences are also shorter then the one currently in Garden Paws, and are 1 foundation long.
Which one is your favorite?
We now have new Steam Trading Cards in the game, 1 for each of the playable characters. You get them by playing the game or trading with other players.
We heard you want some more quests, so we've added 59 new quests in these updates. These quests are focused towards late game players mainly being bulk order quests or quests that unlock after specific blueprints have been purchased.
Hopefully you've been stockpiling items for these new quests!
We are still working on the new map that will come in with 2 new towns, 100+ unique quests and more. Catch us in Discord or on Twitch for spoilers. (Eta for the new map is August.)
Jack Uzzi, the hot-tub salesman
There are four new NPCs to be found, one is Guppy. Guppy is located in the Inn and will sell you grilled fish once the Inn has been built. We also have Jack Uzzi the friendly Hot Tub salesman that shows up in the Summer Festival along with Sunny the Summer Festival organizer.
Hash the guild master!
The other new character is Hash, who is the guild master and has been sent to Florens to keep the monsters in the dungeon inside the dungeon. You can find Hash in the new cave that has been opened near your home on your way to the forest.
The new cave which will also be home to the entrance to the dungeon coming soon!
The dungeon is a completely optional part of Garden Paws and will be implemented towards the end of July.
Always carry your wand with you, you never know when you'll see a bubble around.
If you head over to Hash and have a chat, you'll get a wand to practice with while the dungeon opens. Want something to practice on? Try shooting some bubbles. The bubbles are pretty rare, so keep an eye out. You'll have a chance to find them floating above the water, (usually near seaweed), and once you pop them they'll drop a mystery box that can be opened for a treasure.
If you caught us recently on Twitch you'll know we were hosting a 32 player creative lobby where we were inviting people to build a house for this weeks Neighbourhood Challenge! Every 1-2 weeks we do a fun challenge in the discord, this week we're challenging your creativity to build a street with houses/shops or even a full neighbourhood.
A little peek at our Pawsome Town
We love these challenges and seeing what people come up with, especially when people surprise us with how creative they are with the Item Shifter!

Bugs and adjustments:
- Most of the items that stacked to 30 now stack to 50.
- Paper has been added to the bouquet table.
- Ferret and Dung Beetle collections now count towards achievements.
- The black cat was being fishy but has been fixed and can now be pet and will bring items properly.
- Pumpkins can no longer place, but can be crafted into decoration pumpkins. (This should make it easier to place them in the seedmaker.)
- Creative worlds now show up as green buttons in multiplayer.
- Rainbow Poop won't turn into Gold Poop when picked up. Rainbow poop sell price has also been increased from 150 to 300.
- Fish Traps and Shellfish Traps now say "Harvest" instead of "Pick Up".
- The mushroom storage has been correctly named on the interaction pop-up. (The mushroom storage thought it was a seed storage.)
- The Boat Shelf can now take up to 6 items.
- Fixed a bug in which the dungeon lobby cave rocks disappeared at day 2 but the cave itself would only appear by day 7.
- You can purchase money bags from the Mayor if you want to save or trade coin.
- The Item Shifter can now also clone objects (IN CREATIVE MODE ONLY).
