There are some new feathers in town!

Explore a New Island: Kozita

In this update we have added a huge new area for late game players to explore. Once you have reached year 4 in game you'll be offered a quest line with Conrad and Frank to bring you to the new island: Kozita. Once you have landed on Kozita you'll be land locked for a few in game days while you meet new NPCs and get new equipment like the Kart and Raft.


The Kart and Raft in story mode!

This new island has new items to gather including Raspberries, Limes, Pineapples and 7 lavender colour variations with new cooking recipes to unlock as well. There are a few new quests on this island including a quest line to build an Animal Sanctuary which will create fence-less homes for creatures. Once you have built a specific creatures sanctuary you will be rewarded with a unique creature or item. (For spoilers on what the sanctuary rewards are we have a spoilers channel on our discord.)


Herb the Kozita Seed Seller can be found selling new seeds including Pineapple and Lavender Seeds!

When you are on this new island all tames and crops will be paused but time will continue, for example if you want to escape Winter in Florens head over to cozy Kozita.

You may notice some other islands across the thorns when you land on Kozita, these are areas that will be unlocked in future updates with new creatures and new quests.


The new pineapple crops!


There are 7 new types of lavender to be collected on Kozita

The new island is also bringing 7 new variations of lavender. These seeds can be purchased from Herb the Kozita Seed Seller and even turned into bundled crops or bouquets.


Catch Conrad exploring Kozita

Characters on the island of Kozita are as curious as you are and can be found wandering around or sitting and enjoying the view. You may even catch some farting!


A completed sanctuary

The Treasure Update!

Petey the Pirates house and shop!

We had a bit of fun with this update adding treasure hunts! You'll be able to collect map fragments through quests, bottles you find on the beach and by fishing. When you get the Cartography Table from Petey the Pirate you'll be able to piece together the map fragments to form a Treasure Map!


The Cartography Table!

Use the treasure map, (when it's in your hot bar), to reveal a glowing trail pointing you towards the buried treasure to dig up. The treasure can be coins, items, clothes or even the dungeon items to help you get those museum collections completed.


Purchase new items and goodie bags with your golden treasure coins!

Translations

HUGE thank you to everyone in the community that has helped with translations over the past few months, we're excited to say we've started implementing the languages with our most translated language first, German!

The German translations have been 60%+ completed by the community! We were waiting till a language was 100% completed but as there are frequent updates we found it better to add the language as it is, anything not translated will remain in English. This has been community translated so there may be grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and slight inconsistencies in the objects/quests. We have had the translations scanned by a translator to search for any inappropriate language and thanks to this amazing community it's clean and ready to share with the public.


To change the language go to Settings and then Change Language.

Other Notes
We have been asked a few times if we would increase the story mode max players from 4. While the game play, content and rewards are not balanced for 5+ people we have decided to add the ability to create rooms for up to 10 people in story mode. We will be adding an in game message that the game is not balanced for this amount of players and you may get through the quests and other content quicker. If you'd like to play with 10+ players, you can play with up to 32 players in Creative Mode.


New outfits and accessories!

  • New outfits and 2 new sets of wings.
  • Energy obtained from food has been adjusted. You roughly obtain energy roughly equivalent to 10% the sell price of the item. (Something that sells for 100 = 10 energy, 50 = 50 energy and so on.) When in the dungeon you obtain HP instead of Energy.
  • The bouquet recipes for the hydrangeas and pink leaf flowers have been added.
  • This update has many bug fixes and we're always optimizing the game, sorry we're terrible at recording each fix. Between Dan and Kristina we forget to record each bug. If you find a new bug please let us know and we'll fix it. :)
  • Plant fiber seed now has a price and can be sold or dropped on the ground.
  • Some grammatical mistakes in quests have been fixed.
  • Bug fix: Fixed a bug that was preventing Splash from selling the hedgehog skin.
  • Bug fix: Fixed a bug that was preventing the earthquake cut scene from being shown.
  • The Bear Rainbow Skin colour name has been corrected.
  • Added save button if you would like to manually save the game.

Garden Paws - bittentoastgames
This update includes quite a few bug fixes, performance boosts, a new creature, 20+ quests and some huge dungeon improvements. We applied quite a few changes that we heard from the community in Discord or on Steam Discussions including a chance to gather a Plant Fiber Seed and grow your own fern, increasing habitat capacities and other quality of life features.

We really appreciate everyone's input and wish we could add all these epic ideas to Garden Paws, unfortunately with it being just the two of us working on features we're not able to add everything. With that we want to do another announcement that Steam Workshop is almost ready to go live, we just need a few more mods made for testing it before we can launch to the public. If you're interested in becoming a mod creator please join our Discord for beta access.

At this time we don't have an update video but if you'd like one let us know, here's the video from last week.

What's your favourite furniture set? Our latest favourite is the Birch set, when you paint it the colours are pastel!

New Creature: The Hedgehog



Looking for a cute addition to your farm, once in a Forest Habitat it will bring you one fruit a day. It can be obtained from any rare drop that can drop an animal, (Memory Game, Blue Mystery Crate, etc), and can also be obtained by completing one of the Museum collections.

New Quests and the Bulk Bulletin Board

We heard you missed some of the bulk orders from Conrad so we have added a few more (20+) quests for Conrad and if you're looking for more there is even a quest that will get Frank to build you a Bulk Bulletin Board.

This Bulk Bulletin Board will act similar to the one in town but ask for a large quantity of items including cooked food, furniture, animals and even high end tools. If you complete a quest from the new bulletin board you'll earn 30% more coin than if you sold it in your shop!

You can only take one bulk quest a day, and if you don't like the quest that day just wait until tomorrow for a new one.

Museum



The museum has new collections to complete! There is also a new Cloud Glider that can be obtained from a collection! We added the dungeon collections as well, if you're not a dungeon diver but want to complete the collections we recommend trading with other players.

The Largest Dungeon Update Yet


The dungeon is a great in multiplayer and we find it's easier and more fun with friends!

How are you enjoying the dungeon? In this update we have added 24 new items for you to collect and craft! The boss drops have also been improved with new rare items to gather. Not only can you gather the new items but certain levels will reward you with raw resources including; plant fiber, geodes, wood, stone and more.


Battle your way to the boss for great loot! Each boss has unique loot drops that varies each time you battle them!

The dungeon monsters now match their environment, depending on the level you're in. We plan on expanding this in the future further with unique bosses and more mob variations.



Dungeon Crops! You can now plant the Dungeon Leaves, Dungeon Shroom, Dungeon Vine, Leafy Fern, Pink Petals, and the Dungeon Flower. These are key elements in the new healing powders which you will unlock the deeper you dive into the dungeon.

Taming Wands! We've also added the ability of taming the dungeon monsters! Once you reach certain levels of the dungeon Hash will start selling blueprints for taming wands for shards. Taming wands can then be crafted in the Dungeon Workbench and can be used to tame a monster.


After beating the boss head down to the dungeon shop for rare loot.

Some new items are also coming to the Dungeon Workbench. You can unlock new dungeon blueprints by progressing in the dungeon, like the Dungeon Chest, Dungeon Crate and more. There are also 3 new dungeon capes to find in the dungeon shop!



Hash also has a new chest close to him, this chest is linked with any other chest on the dungeon shop levels and the one located near Hash. This chest can be used to provide some inventory relief in long dungeon runs. In the Dungeon Shop there is now a Dungeon Workbench and a Relic Shop Table that is guaranteed to sell the "Life in a Bottle" relic. Another quality of life improvement is that in Multiplayer players can now see each other's health and location in the dungeon.



We hope you enjoy the new and improved dungeon! P.s. If you're not a dungeon diver but want the new items there is a fantastic community on the Discord with many members offering to trade or gather the items for you

Notes and Bug Fixes

  • The bunny habitat has been increased from 3 to 6
  • A rare fishing bug for some countries, in which you could only catch blue mystery boxes has been fixed. You can now catch fish with the fishing rod.

Twitch integration not only let's people in chat type hype and love but viewer chatting can also be customers and monsters!

Huge thank you to everyone supporting the game by reporting bugs, leaving helpful feedback and of course leaving reviews and posting about Garden Paws. We're always trying to make Garden Paws better and we couldn't do it without this incredible community!

Garden Paws - bittentoastgames
Version 1.3.8 is now live! This update is packed full of content! We're really excited about this update we've added the 100 floors of the dungeon and will continue to work on it for future updates. We have added new tools, furniture sets, a new creature and more!

We made a small video showcasing this update. If you like the video update let us know and don't forget to share it with your friends. :) We have posted this video on Twitter and Facebook as well.



From the devs..

We, (Dan and Kristina), wanted to let everyone know that we are working on Garden Paws and it is our main focus, we have started the process of getting Garden Paws on the Switch but have no eta at this time. We are also working on Potion Paws at the same time but want to reassure the community that we are working on Garden Paws.

A little bit about us, we have been making games for years and find we work best with taking creative breaks. Potion Paws and another game we recently made (Farting with Friends) allow us to be creative without feeling burned out. (Yup we're weird, our breaks are us working on other games.)

We are just letting the community know as we've seen some concerns brought up that we're working on multiple projects at once. We understand your concerns, but rest assured we are giving 110% to both games.

P.S. If you want to download "Farting with Friends", for free you can do so here. It's a multiplayer game we made in a couple days where you play as a cute skunk, (yup the one coming into Garden Paws), and your goal is to knock out your friends by farting on them. During these hard times we find it's a great silly game to play with friends, so we wanted to share it with everyone.

Sorry for the rambling, let's jump into this update.

The Dungeon is complete! ...kind of


The new Ice Dungeon features new versions of the old enemies and a whole new Furniture Set!

In this update you can now play past the first 10 dungeon levels all the way up to level 100! We have added the Ice Furniture set, a snazzy Ice Cape and an Ice Wand that does a little bit more damage.

You can play up to level 100 and you'll notice environmental changes and stronger monsters as you progress but we haven't added all the bosses, furniture sets and monster variations yet. We plan to expand on the dungeon in future updates.

A little tip for dungeon divers that want a challenge, try shooting the mushrooms on the right when you enter dungeon from smallest to largest. Or was it from largest to smallest, it was one of those two options. By doing so you'll enter hardcore mode where you will have less hp and the monsters will be stronger, but hey more loot!

Birch Trees and Bee Hives



We are pretty excited about a new gameplay feature, growing your own Birch Tree Farm! Once you have built the Tree Farm for Bruce, they'll be able to start selling you Birch Tree Saplings! It will take several days for the tree to mature, but once it does you can chop it down for Birch Wood and a chance for rare item drops.



The rare items you can get range from seed mystery boxes to bee nests. The Bee Nests are a new item you can use to craft your very own Bee Hive! This hive acts similar to the natural occurring bee hive, where you can gather a honey or honeycomb once a day. We heard you want less of a honeycomb grind, we hope this helps.

Birch Furniture



Now that you have all that Birch Wood you can use it to craft one of the many new, and profitable Birch Furniture items! These items can be painted with the furniture paint brushes, and when painted they'll be in soft pastel colours.

There are some new Birch Bonsai Trees and other great new items to find in game.

New Upgrade: The Castle



Once you have commissioned all of the town upgrades you will be able to commission your very own Castle from Frank! The Castle comes with plenty of room for your building needs, a new workbench with new castle furniture and even a special pet!

By purchasing this upgrade you're also showing you're the best and the mayor has granted you permission to build anywhere in and around the town.

New Upgrade: Cosmetic Tools Shop



Once you have upgraded your tools to Gold you will be able to invite Cosmo to open a shop in Florens. Cosmo will sell variations of the gold tools with a cosmetic flair.

There are currently 20 cosmetic tool variations for you to purchase in styles ranging from ghost to flowers and more. We plan on adding more tool variations in the future, let us know in the comments what kind of tool variations you would like to see.

New Creature: The Skunk



Remember that game "Farting with Friends" that we mentioned? When we made the Skunk character we fell in love with it and had to add it to Garden Paws.

Not only this creature is really cute, it's also useful in your farm. Once tamed the skunk will drop lots of poop and even fertilizer.

The Skunk can be found in the forest biome, is tamed with chicken eggs and will be at home in the Forest Animal Habitat.

Fishing 2.0



We have made some tweaks and improved fishing, starting with two new upgrades! The Silver and Gold fishing rods will reduce the catch time and increase your odds to collect rare fish, while decreasing your odds of collecting trash.

We have added a few new rare fish for you to hunt down as well, these fish are too pretty eat but they sell for some nice coin.



There is also a new Trash Fishing Rod that is by far our favourite. It will only hook bottles, soggy paper, fertilizer, glass, seaweed and have a rare chance for mystery boxes and other "trash" items that we're sure you're going to enjoy.

The Fishing Experience has also been improved with a rare chance for mystery boxes to pop up while your fishing.

The gamepad has some significant improvements to make fishing more enjoyable and relaxing. When you use the gamepad you simply pull the joystick in the direction of the fish and click to catch it.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

New Item: Stone Sprinkler



After seeing some gameplay and hearing feedback from the community we've noticed the sprinkler can be hard to obtain early game, if you're not looking for it.

To make the game more enjoyable your grandparents have sent the Stone Sprinkler Blueprint in your first Summer in Garden Paws. It will act the same as the copper sprinkler in terms of radius, but will require different resources to craft.

We hope this makes the game less of a grind and more enjoyable for those looking to start Garden Paws again from the beginning. :)

There are too many emotes so... Emote Wheel!

We had a bit of fun making some new emotes, but found we had too many and forgot to tell people about them in general. (What you didn't know you could fart with ".", have a chance to poop and then sell it to your customers? Yeah we added that crucial feature.)



If you hold down Z an emote wheel will pop up! The emote wheel features the emotes we already had in the game plus 2 new emotes, the wave and the pout!

Gamepad Improvements

As a part of the Switch porting process we've been reworking the Gamepad controls for Garden Paws. This update should fix a lot of the gamepad issues pointed out by players and improve gamepad gameplay overall.

If you find any problems with the gamepad play please let us know so we can address the problem.

Other notes:

We possibly missed some of the updates and bug fixes we did for this update, but here's some of the stuff we did that we remembered to write down.

  • Several multiplayer issues have been fixed.
  • Copper, Silver and Gold sprinklers radius' have been slightly increased (to a 20% larger radius). The stone watering size is slightly smaller than the copper.
  • Loot Chests now have a chance to contain better rewards
  • Some stacks have been increased from 1 to 10
  • Jellyfish prices have been increased by 25 coins.
  • The Silver Pickaxe, Silver Axe, Gold Pickaxe and the Gold Axe sell prices have been increased.

  • Fixed an issue with the grill when 2 different type of fish are on it.
  • Fixed an issue with Halloween Island chests not respawning correctly
  • Fixed an issue with skins and equipment not dropping with the correct drop rates on the loot chests

Tons of new items and QOL updates!

This update is a pretty exciting one as we've included quite a few epic features. Our favourite being the Auto Deposit feature which will allow you to deposit items into a chest without opening it. Another huge QOL update are the improvements to the crafting system. Now you can click an item and craft it's prerequisites without switch tabs.



We apologize if we missed listing any new items or bug fixes. Other news, the Switch version is currently being worked on and we appreciate your patience as we get it to the best state we can. The Steam Workshop update is coming along way faster than we initially projected, we will have more news on that soon. If you would like to join the beta workshop we have more news on that in our discord.

There were also many many tweaks made to improve performance in this update, our initial feedback has shown huge leaps in performance. If you are experiencing problems though we have found reinstalling the game through steam and verifying game files fixes many. If you come across any bugs please let us know through steam discussions, or discord. Thank you!

Garden Paws - bittentoastgames
Happy Holidays

The last update was PACKED with content, with that we did hear of some bugs from the public and are happy to say we've fixed almost if not all the high priority bugs. We appreciate the community reporting bugs, without you they'd hide and we wouldn't know about them. Huge thanks to this amazing community.

As a little thanks from the Bitten Toast team we have sent you some mail in game with some festive hats for you and your friends. Happy Holidays!



Quick Patch Notes

  • Tons of bug fixes! If you find any bugs after this update please let us know.

Potion Paws crossover items have been added. The 26 crossover furniture items are just for owning Potion Paws in the same Steam library. You'll receive the workbench in the mail on day 2 in game. Potion Paws Kickstarter Exclusive Cat with Cape Keys have also been sent out.

26 crossover furniture items
Cat Ghost Pet/Mount


Don't forget to open Garden Paws during the holidays to get something special from us!

Fruit Trees and Berry Bushes!



Apples, Oranges, Lemons, Cherries, oh my! There are 4 fruit trees that can be found around Florens and the nearby islands. Each season there will be a new tree type in the wilds, if you don't want to wait for the wild fruit trees you can plant your own. Each tree even has a rare chance to drop seeds when being harvested.

These new fruits can be used in one of the many new cooking recipes at the cooking station or oven. There's more! You can now find Blueberry Bushes in the wild as well!



Potion Paws Crossover Items



We're happy to say we've added the Potion Paws crossover items. We added even more items then we originally set out to add. There are 26 furniture items to decorate with! You may even find the Cat Ghost mount lurking in a cave that you can befriend with some stardust! You can tame as many of these as you'd like.

If you own Potion Paws in the same Steam library as Garden Paws you'll receive in-game mail containing the Mysterious Potion Table blueprint. Once you've crafted this workbench you'll unlock the rest of the Potion Paws crossover items.

Custom Painting and Carpets

We've added two new items that can be painted with the wall paintbrushes. This will open up over 60 painting variations and 60+ carpet styles. This upgrade can be purchased from Roman after you've unlocked the Painting Station.



Building System Update!

The Building System received a huge improvement in this update. When placing a piece, using the hammer or the item shifter there is now an option for opening a "Selector". When in selector mode your mouse is visible and you can mouse over different buttons on the UI to select what socket or building piece you want to interact with.



This makes it easier to build faster and make less mistakes. It also makes mistakes easier to fix since with the new selector menu you can hammer out even the hard to select things like the sprinklers.



Pamela's Trading Center



Pamela's Trading Center has finally opened its doors to the people of Florens. You can find the big tree trunk on Ferret Island. Inside you will find Pamela the Unicorn. Pamela doesn't use coins and instead prefers trading items for their wares.

What's next for Garden Paws?

We've got big plans for Garden Paws including adding more levels to the Dungeon, and even a huge new island to explore and more! We welcome you to join our discord or follow our twitter for spoilers as we work on them.



We originally set out to release Garden Paws on the Switch this December, but have to ask the community to wait a bit longer so we can get the game to be the best it can be without rushing. We hope you understand we are working our hardest to get the game to the Switch without cutting content we would love to see in Garden Paws.

It seems we missed posting the last couple updates here, terribly sorry for that. The devs (Dan and Kristina) have been hard at work on the game and have lots of content to share with you that has come out over the last couple months.

Going to keep this short and sweet as we're almost ready to push another update with quite a bit of new content and lots of bug fixes. It's been going through beta testing for the last few days and should be ready to send out very soon.

For now here are some of the things you may have seen pop up in your game.

  • Penguins (3 colours and one baby)
  • Kitsune Fox (Reg and Legendary versions)
  • Robot (that can collect every animal product and even milk cows)



New Items and Upgrades (Roman)
  • Penguin Habitat
  • Jewelry Station and 30 crafting recipes
  • Decoration Station
  • Dungeon Workstation
  • Winter items; 5 ice furniture pieces, tree, decorated tree, presents, stocking, gingerbread decoration, snowflake, wreath

  • Decoration items including; coin pile, book pile, diamonds, pineapple, glass pineapple, unicorn cake, carrot cake, crystal paw





Winter Update

Are you a fan of the match two mini-game in the Summer? You'll be happy to know we've added a match two game for the Winter as well! This mini-game will bring in exclusive items that can only be obtained at the game.

There are 21 unique winter themed items including a Candy Cane Fence, Ice Table, Ice Shelves, a Sleigh and a Winter Tree.

More Quests!



In this update we're happy to say we've added 80+ new quests including seasonal quests! The seasonal quests will trigger every year so you'll never run out of quests in Garden Paws! These quests are mainly focused around trading materials for items with the townsfolk of Florens.

Penguins



Looking for a chill companion? Keep an eye out for the penguins that can be spotted on a northern island in the Winter! These cute companions can be found in black, pink or blue! There is even a cute baby penguin that can be tamed.

Once you have this companion tamed in its igloo, it will bring you rocks, fish and even geodes once a day! If you find yourself with 100 tamed penguins you may even spot the Legendary Penguin that is so large it can be ridden!

Kitsune Fox



Looking for a unique legendary fox? If you find yourself having tamed 25 foxes you may spot the Kitsune Fox in the forest! This fox can be tamed in just one day with a Bright Damsel fish. If you tame 100 Foxes you may even spot the Legendary Kitsune Fox that is large enough to be a mount!

The Kitsune Fox and Legendary Kitsune Fox have a higher chance to bring rare fish and can even bring you a Mystery Box.

The Robot

Very late game (year 3) you'll get a certain quest from Mooney to pick up a mystery crate from Conrad. Follow the beeps to your very own collection robot! This robot will collect all dropped animal products and will even milk your cows and goats!



Next Update

The next update is coming very soon and will feature quite a few bug fixes, the crash error and introduce new items including the fruit trees, berry bushes, 20+ cooking recipes and more.

The Dungeon is in Garden Paws!

You may have noticed there has been a dungeon in Garden Paws for the last couple weeks. We might have forgotten to write an update, sorry about that. Hope you're enjoying it! If you're not a dungeon fan, don't worry the dungeon is not necessary to the main game and can be ignored.



The dungeon currently has 10 procedurally generated levels with the 10th level being the boss level. You can collect dungeon specific loot here and familiar items including geodes, plant fiber and coal. You can also collect shards that can be used to purchase goods from the shop floor on level 11.


The Shopkeeper doesn't always have the things you're looking for...

The dungeon shop contains a dungeon exclusive furniture set, the Dungeon Stone set and a rare cape! If you still have spare shards, don't worry you can exchange them with Hash for coins.




There are also relics in the dungeon to make each run exciting and different. Some of the relics increase damage, speed and even loot gained!

We plan on adding more levels to the dungeon in the future with more monsters, bosses, loot and all that good stuff.


You can find exciting loot chests in the dungeon!

Secret Hardcore Mode!

Think the dungeon is too easy? You can increase the difficulty with a hidden puzzle. When you first enter the dungeon (before going into the danger zone), you can shoot the blue mushrooms on the right wall from smallest to largest to activate hardcore mode.



The hardcore mode reduces your HP from 250 to 100, increases the damage the monsters do and increases the loot drops.

What's coming next in Garden Paws?

We are pretty proud of how far Garden Paws has come this last year, especially with a small team of 3 (2 Developers and 1 Composer). Over the next month(s) we plan on adding the Fruit Trees, a new island, new tameable creatures, the rest of the dungeon, and a new NPC that will have a shop with various decoration items.

We're always working on optimization and will be focusing on this pretty heavily as we start the port to the Switch. Our goal is to have Garden Paws release on the Switch December of this year!
