We've reached 500 Quests!

Fireworks!

Sorry we're a little late with the post for the update that came out a few days ago. If you've been in Garden Paws since July 1st you'll know we released a small Canada Day update and a couple small patches since then.

During our anniversary event we tested the dungeon with 32 players.

Dan, Kristina and Thiago are still hard at work on the Dungeon and we plan on having it out this month (July). The dungeon will be optional and you won't be technically "killing" the creatures for anyone that is worried about blood/gore. We can assure you there won't be any, in fact you're helping the creatures move on, from the evil necromancers grasp. The Dungeon will have 100 procedural levels, bosses and new items along with it.

Credits in the Garden Paws main menu

The first thing you'll notice in this update is the mail from the developers (Dan, Kristina and Thiago), we added a couple new skins, the Canada Dragon and Canada Fox. There's lots more to this small.. but large update including the Credits where you can find all the backers names. If you don't see your name here please send us a message, we did have to remove a few that either weren't appropriate or were promotion links. We will be adding a bit more to the credits in the next update, including the community members that made skins for Garden Paws.



This update our main focus was squishing bugs and improving the the QOL (Quality of Life) for Garden Paws. We did manage to squeeze in a few new items, another upgrade and over 20 new quests. This brings us to 500 Quests currently in Garden Paws!



McCoy's fancy new Fishing Shop

The new shop you'll find in Florens is the Fishing Shop. McCoy has been dreaming, and with your help they'll get to run a large shop that can even provide daily shipments of fish, (for a small fee that is..).



New Gem Storage Crate

We have added a few more decorative crates including the Ore/Bar Storage Crate, Gem Storage Crate and two new superior crates. The Superior Seed and Flower Crates have a 30 capacity and are visually unique from the other flower and seed crates.



Paw Path rotated with the Item Shifter.

There are two items with very different functions. The Stone Paw can be used to decorate you're home. The Animal Display can hold 1 animal of any type and display it in your world, it won't drop resources while on display though.



Canada Fox building some No Pick Zones!

A small but big new item is the "No Harvesting Sign", when you place this item it prevents anyone from harvesting within it's radius.



With the community's suggestions and feedback, we have made several fixes in this update to improve on Garden Paws.

• The Item Shifter can now rotate up/down as well as left/right.
  
• The Inventory has an Auto Sort option, as well as a transfer all button.
  
• Building pieces have a smoother placement.
  
• The range of the Pickaxe and Axe have been increased.
  

Having some fun testing out 32 player lobbies.

At the request of the community we have increased the creative mode lobby sizes from 10 to a whopping 32 people! We have done a few quality of life improvements as well.

• The inventory and energy levels have been maxed out.
  
• You can craft anything at a workbench without requiring the materials.
  
• The UI has been adjusted to better fit all the items.
  
• Easter eggs and all non-vegetation items have been removed. (Ex. Boris' cart)
  

We have added a few new items to the creative mode including the Jetpack, Hourglass (which can be used to pause time or jump ahead/back an hour), and the Sponge (to clean off paint).

In creative mode you are also able to place Trees, Bushes and other foliage.

Flying carpets!



Some of these bugs came in with the last update but we missed adding them to the update list of fixes.

We were made aware of a hacker today that was able to join Password Protected lobbies, we've changed the server authentication process to prevent this from happening.

• The Grid UI now has a scroll bar.
  
• The Crystal Garden centerpiece and divider now have colliders.
  
• Animals that weren't collecting items (Ferrets/Beetles) are fixed.
  
• There's a new in game achievements to track how many Easter Eggs you've collected.
  
• McCoy went on vacation and is now back.
  
• McCoy's new shop holds 3 items and rotates stock daily.
  
• McCoy's Fishing Delivery box has been set up.
  
• Text size in the stat screen has been slightly reduced.
  
• The Shed has a bottom, when naming the shed it will show up in front instead of inside.
  
• Stable animals won't disappear.
  
• Legendary Feed shows up when you tame 100 Beetles.
  
• Temporary items (like the cart and flying carpet) won't disappear the day after in creative mode.
