changedFollowing 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!

changedNSEW 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.

addedSpecial Events EnhancementWithin the world of Lost Paws, there are various unusual incidents that can occur and alter the way you play. Scenarios like these happen most frequently in the Government District located within Doggo City. With an eye to furthering improving such events, we went about adding an additional degree of both variety and randomness to events like these to further add more unexpected moments in the game for our favorite canine.

addedNew Crafting Item EffectsSince the introduction of our new trailer last December, we've been continuing to tweak and improve the benefits granted by using the brand new crafting items teasered back then. All three new crafting items have had their effects tuned and improved based on feedback we've received, as well as their visual effects enhanced.
