- Lost Paws Update 1.1.0 (Markers, Crowds, Escapes & More) - 17 March 2026
Hello everyone!In our continuing quest to further improve Lost Paw's game experience, we've been hard at work polishing, improving, and enhancing the game from all angles. Now, with our canine's seal of approval, we return to you all presenting our latest additions to the game. Introducing update 1.1.0, with augmented Mission Icons, New crowd behaviors, and much more!Improved Mini-Map MarkersIn an effort to add greater visual clarity, we've been working on an ongoing process to upgrade all of the HUD elements found within the game. One of our desired goals was to make it so that even at a glance, the player would be able to understand where interesting locations or important main quests were located on the map. Originally, this was all done via the Menu-Hub found within the game, but we've since determined that additional indicators would be more ideal, so that even without pressing any…
- Lost Paws Update 1.0.9 (Compass, Crafting & More) - 25 January 2026
Hello everyone!Following the end of the winter holiday, we've been hard at work preparing our next big round of improvements to the game. Introducing update 1.0.9, with a NSEW Compass, Special Event enhancements, and a few bug fixes!NSEW Compass for The World MapThroughout the course of Lost Paws, many a friend or foe within the game gave reference to various locations, often using such terms as "Go north," or "Go bother someone else", and phrases to the like. To that end, we realized it would be helpful to directly show via the GUI just where exactly these directions were in relation to the game world. With this thought in mind, we set out to showcase such details on the world map, and the following results were born.Here is an example of what The World Map looks like now with its newly added compassSpecial Events EnhancementWithin the world of Lost Paws, there are various unusual inci…

- Lost Paws Update 1.0.8 (Map & Sounds Overhaul) - 17 December 2025
Hello everyone!Though times may pass, and seasons change, our favorite canine returns once again. Presenting update 1.0.8, with a World Map Overhaul, many Sound Improvements, and a few bug fixes to boot!Enhanced World MapOur previous map, despite all its glory, ran into a problem most disagreeable. This issue concerned barricades (and maybe a few misplaced happy little trees). It had come to our attention that the players yearned for greater visual clarity on their maps, and clearly our advanced GPS systems just weren't cutting it. So we went back to the drawing board, for the maps clearly needed to update for major obstructions along our wayward dog's journey, much like internet maps informing you of your impeding doom up ahead on a roadway.Here is an example of what the World Map looks like now when you're starting out fresh-facedHere is an example of what the World Map looks like now…

- Lost Paws Update 0.9.4 (Controllers & More) - 30 July 2025
Hello everyone!We return to you now from our on-site facility with some spicy controller changes and much more. Introducing update 0.9.4, with a Controller HUD overhaul, various optimizations, and plenty of bug fixes!Improved Controller HUDAfter our previous facility disappeared under decidedly mysterious circumstances, we decided that this must have been concretely connected with a lack of different visual elements between keyboard versus controller usage. To that end, we mathematically derived that many MANY more controller icons were needed to improve this element in the game, and after several sleepless PNGs, we evolved our controller visuals to be much clearer than before.Here is an example of what an interaction with a Dog Lover looks like with Keyboard + MouseHere is what it looks like now when you plug-in and utilize a controller for the same set of actionsOptimized Grass Models…

- Lost Paws 0.9.0 Is Out Now! - 12 May 2025
Hello everyone! The Lost Paws 0.9.0, the big performance update, is now up and running! This update makes a bunch of changes to improve performance across all computers and enhance stability to reduce FPS jumps. It also includes some minor localization and UI improvements. Lets get into it! Performance The most impactful change to the game is the breakup of the giant overworld scene into smaller scenes. While this does add a couple of loading screens into the environment, it actually reduces transit times on many computers and of course massively improves performance. We now have scenes split into the various districts of Doggo City and Beaver Town. This change vastly reduces loading times, reduces rendering costs due to less being in each scene, and most importantly reduces RAM and VRAM requirements slicing it as much as half in some cases. New transits points are now in the game which…
