On Dans day off this week, he had some fun making the Guitar that'll be in soon!
More Quests
Charlie needs your help building a Guard Tower for those cold Winter nights! Among this quest line and more we currently have 276 quests to complete in Garden Paws. We are constantly adding more quests and hope to hit 300 very soon.
.
More Animals!
This latest update we have been working on adding more animals to raise on your farm!
Here are the new animals:
Lamb (mature: Sheep)
Baby Goat (mature: Goat)
Baby Alpaca (mature: Alpaca)
Duckling (mature: Duck)
Mallard Duckling (mature: Mallard Duck)
Each animal can be matured in the barn, or for the ducks, the Duck Pond. Each animal can also be equipped through your pet slot in your inventory. With all these new items we've added 2 more upgrades for the Barn and Duck Pond so you can increase the capacity from 3 to 6 if you'd like.
New items:
With new animals, come new items! Here's a quick list of what's been added.
Sand and Sand Dollars. Which can be gathered from piles along the beach.
Coal and Marble rocks that can be found in the ruins caves.
Rain isn't going to stop us from having fun! Rainy days are great, you don't have to water your crops!
Multiplayer
We have steadily been improving the performance for multiplayer as well as fixing some bugs, the latest patch should run even smoother.
A quick note, we've noticed that some firewalls protect against people joining you or you joining an online lobby, if you're experiencing this, that could be why. We have also been suggesting switching who hosts the lobby, this has resulted in a more stable game experience.
If you're experiencing problems with multiplayer or any other aspect to the game, we welcome you to join our discord or email us, we'll be happy to help.
Just a dragon looking for some tasty fish, nothing to see here.
Other Notes
You can now name chests and lock them, chests are locked by default in multiplayer.
Sammy now only sells Spring + Summer seeds, with a new seller introduced Fall day 1 that will sell Fall + Winter seeds permanently.
In the last update we added (!) on the Anvil, and a few other places when you interact with them the first time. This will prompt a screen to pop up with helpful tips.
The hot bar scroll direction has been reversed, if you'd like to change it or any other settings you can do so in the main menu under "Controls".
Tips have been added on the loading screen.
Milk stacks have been increased from 10 to 30.
From the Devs
As always we'd like to give a big Thank You to everyone that has supported us so far, with your tweets, reviews, and just sharing the game in general. We plan on one more update before the new year with a small surprise.
What are we working on next?
Dan and Kristina are currently working on adding more content, while squishing any bugs that pop up of course. The next content updates that we have planned, without giving too many spoilers, include a fast travel system, a furnace to smelt ores, and the Museum.
This is just our short term update list, we're also working on the Dungeon, Cooking and more. But, those are a bit further out.
Thiago (our audio dev) has been working on the music for the Seasons, each Fall and Winter will rotate to new soundtrack.

Happy Holidays!
.
In today's update we are giving players a special gift for the holidays. If you log into the game between 24th December 2018, 6amPST and 25th December 11:59pm PST you will receive a gift in your in-game mail.
The gift is not an exclusive item and can be obtained in-game outside of this 2 day window as well. All winter items that are being added will permanently stay in the game.
.
Multiplayer
We have been hard at work updating and testing the multiplayer and we're happy to say that most of the issues have been fixed in the new patch that is about to go live.
.
We've done over 20 hours of multiplayer testing over the past 2 days with the latest build and had a lot of fun playing with members of the community.
.
New Costumes
During winter there is now a new shop seller that sells festive costumes, perfect to get in the holiday spirit. 18 new costumes have been added to the game.
.

Thank you so much for all your support. We are so happy with all the love and kind words directed to us with the steam release, and for all the lovely reviews we have been receiving. We couldn't be happier with how Garden Paws is coming along.
Quests, Tree Farm, and more!

A quick update from the devs:
.
Daniel and I (Kristina), have been incredibly active across all social media platforms during the Steam launch. We have been addressing bugs and issues and are glad to say we already have a patch for some of them, along with some new content.
A bit about us, Daniel and I are partners working on the game with Thiago Adamo who does our audio. Daniel handles all of our programming, most of the artwork and brings his expertise to the game, having multiple releases across multiple platforms. I on the other hand handle the overall design meaning level creation, art, content, quests, etc..
We both do a bit of everything, other than audio, and plan on adding lots more to Garden Paws. We're excited to share the first big update since we launched.
Patch Notes
.
You can see the patchnotes on our steam community page. The patchnotes can be found by clicking here.
Tree Farm
.
We have added the Tree Farm that is a quest/upgrade that will appear in game in Summer Year 1. Without giving too many spoilers this will be a great way, late game, to earn some extra wood with just a bit of an investment into Bruce.
Bouquets
.
With the new plants showing up around the islands in Fall and Winter we have added the bouquet blueprints for them, along with some more quests with Elizabeth.
More Customization
.
We have added another 10 skins to Garden Paws, bringing us past 250 obtainable skins!
Other Notes
.
- We have addressed a few bugs and are slowly improving multiplayer performance. We're happy to say the solo play has very few bugs, the multiplayer will definitely be getting some more attention.
- Controller support will be coming in, in the next patch.
.
We want to give a huge thank you for all the support and kind words we've received for Garden Paws. The last 6 months developing this game has been incredible and we're excited for the new chapter for Garden Paws!
It's been a busy few months but we made it! We're live on Steam. We plan on releasing a large content update once a month (or more) for the first 6 months. The last half of 2019 we will be working on optimizing the game as well as porting to the Switch.
The Switch release is still scheduled for December 2019.
Who will you play as?
What's Next?
Over the next few months we have a ton of content planned, first of which is the Cooking, where we have 10+ stations planned and lots of recipes. Some of which will require one step, others requiring many.
We plan on adding the Procedural Dungeon and Combat very soon as well.
We will be expanding on our current features, adding more fish and unique fish to specific areas. We will be adding more islands to explore, breeding, more building pieces, more of a bit of everything.

FAQ
I backed the Kickstarter, where do I find my key? If you haven't received your key in your email, we've heard it sometimes hides in your Spam Folder. Also, if you still have your survey you can use your survey link to retrieve your key(s).
When will the Kickstarter exclusives be sent? The Kickstarter exclusives are also on their way, there's just a bit of hold up, but we'll get you them very soon.
The three of us here at Bitten Toast Games Thank You for your support and are excited for the next phase of Garden Paws!

Shooting Stars
Who doesn't want to be a dragon that hunts down falling stars..
What better way to spend your nights then by hunting for Fallen Stars! Not only are they fun to collect, but crack them open for a nice surprise!
.
Weather Effects
With Winter we introduced snow, we're happy to say rain has also been implemented! Now on rainy days you can leave your watering can at home!
What's next..
Splash has some new skins in stock!
As always we want to give a big Thank You to everyone! It has been a great few months developing Garden Paws, and going into Early Access on Steam we definitely won't be stopping.
We plan on doing at least 1 large content update a month for the first 6 months, after that we will be spending the majority of our time optimizing Garden Paws and porting it over to the Switch.
We have plans to add an extensive cooking system, mining, dungeon diving, a museum, islands to explore, and lots more, including expanding on our current features.
The three of us here at Bitten Toast Games Thank You for your support and are excited for the next phase of Garden Paws!
