Hello Dog Lovers!
We are back and have several things to share in this one! We are on the Steam Summer Sale and the details are below. We are also looking for beta testers for our next major update. Lastly, we've been hard at work adding new things for the next major update which you can see at the end. Let's get started!
Steam Summer Sale
Lost Paws is part of the Steam Summer Sale! The Sale is running until July 11th with the game being 40% off. It is the first big sale since the UI overhaul update so now is a great time to pick it up for yourself or a friend. It's even better if you want to see where things are going and give some feedback. You can check out the deal by clicking on the banner:
If you happen to pick up the game please consider leaving a review since it helps us out a lot and feedback on our forums is always welcome as we read everything put out on there!
The Next Beta Program
Right now, we are still in the process of accepting sign-ups for our next Steam PC beta! Whether you own the game or just want to provide feedback, we welcome you to sign up. You can do so by clicking on the banner below:
We are looking for as much feedback as possible to make corrections and the best-revamped experience we can give. Right now, the plan is to allow access to the full beta if you own the game when it goes live. If you don't own the game you will receive limited-time access to a special version of the beta to give you a feel for what we are going for. All feedback is extremely welcome since these will be big changes to the game.
Dev Progress
Over the last two months, we designed and built more into the game, massively expanding the playtime. We will be adding many new systems into the game as well as expanding the city to include more districts and places for doggo to roam. We built an additional 24 NPCs many of which will hold special interactions in addition to having more people to pester. An example can be seen in this new crowd here:
For the new systems, we are adding ways to store items which serves as a stepping stone for some of the bigger systems we intended to add. Below is a sample wireframe of what we call selectable containers which will allow you to store items for as long as you want. Their locations will be scattered around the world; however, we are in the process of adding many more ways to store items and how you can position them. In the end, selectable containers serve as one key system in a much larger expansion of the game. An example of a locker can be seen here:
Thanks for reading about our progress and what is going on with Lost Paws! Can't wait to share more on the next major phase of the game. Hope you enjoy the Steam Summer Sale! โ๏ธ๐

The game's portrayal of the life of a stray dog invites analysis through different lenses.
๐ญ. ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐:
๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐๐พ๐ฉโ๐ป๐จ - Donna Haraway's work on cyborgs and the blurring of boundaries between human and animal is relevant to "Lost Paws." The game challenges traditional notions of identity and agency, inviting players to embody a canine perspective and navigate the complexities of human-dog interactions.
๐. ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐๐ฅ:
๐๐ค๐๐ก๐คฏ - Jane McGonigal, a proponent of using games for positive impact, might appreciate "Lost Paws" for its potential to foster empathy. The game encourages players to understand the challenges faced by stray animals, promoting a compassionate view of the world from a dog's point of view.
๐. ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ค๐ฅ๐:
๐ญ๐๐๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ป๐ญ๐๐ค - Sherry Turkle's exploration of human-technology relationships could be applied to the player's immersion in the digital world of "Lost Paws." The game prompts reflection on the evolving nature of our connection to virtual environments and how it shapes our perceptions and behaviors.
๐. ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐
๐ฒ๐ค๐ญ๐ค๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐คฏ๐ - Richard Bartle's player types theory could be used to analyze how different players approach "Lost Paws." The game's open-world design allows for a spectrum of playstyles, from those focused on exploration and discovery to others emphasizing social interactions with in-game characters.
๐ฑ. ๐๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ:
๐ฌ๐ฝ๐โ๐ฆบ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ - Judith Butler's gender performativity theory, while not directly related to gaming, can be applied metaphorically to the game's exploration of identity. Players engage in the performance of a dog's life, challenging normative expectations and questioning the nature of gameplay itself.
๐ฒ. ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐น:
๐๐ป๐พ๐น๏ธ๐ - Jesper Juul's work on the "half-real" nature of video game environments is relevant to understanding the partially procedurally based design of "Lost Paws." The combination of pre-determined elements and dynamic, procedurally generated content creates a unique and engaging player experience.
๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐๐ป๐๐พ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, "๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐" stands out not only as a captivating indie game but also as a cultural artifact that prompts interdisciplinary discussions. ๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ป๐ผ๐ป-๐ต๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ.
