Hello dog fans! 🐶

We've been busy improving our map!

The map has always got your from level to level, but the experience wasn't as great as it could be...

So we simplified things.

Introducing - the Map Rework patch!


Map Improvements

  • Locks & Keys - Levels no longer require keys, only Areas need a key to unlock!

  • Visual Updates - Visual improvements so map icons (levels, dog dialogue and flags) are clearer.

  • Inactive Icons - Added 'Inactive' icons to the map. Upcoming levels and dialogue are now visible.

  • Map Progress - After exiting a level you see the old state of the map, then changes pop into view.

  • Some icons have been recoloured.

  • Icon placement has been adjusted for clarity.

Map Cinematics

  • Added 'Area Unlock' cinematics.

  • Added a 'Unlocked the Village Fete' cinematic.

Map Improvements - Winter Wonderland

  • Snow has been has been cleaned up!

  • DLC does not automatically turn on at the start of the game.

Bugfixes

  • Whistle lasts a little longer when finding the last few dogs.

  • Fixed a stutter when the UI first appears on 'Start' of the game.

  • Fixed performance issues caused by the transport moving around the level.
