The Good Dog: Chasing Shadows · build 23378574 · published
Hello everyone! After a week of visiting family, I am back to working on the game full-time. This patch contains mostly bug fixes, but I've thrown in something new that should be exciting and fun, too!
Patch 1.0.7 brings a new gameplay objective to Fetch, called Fallen Dog.
Those of you who played the new tutorial level will find this objective familiar. Using a brand new scent type in Scent Mode, investigate your territory to find evidence of your fallen dog companion's last known location. Fallen Dog scent trails will lead you to the general location of a piece of evidence, and your immediate area will need to be explored to find it. Here's a tip—evidence will glow yellow in Scent Mode!
Each collected piece of evidence will lead you to another, with up to three total pieces of evidence being required depending on your selected difficulty level. Eventually, you will be lead straight to the Fallen Dog's collar, which can be returned to the Collection Platform back home to complete your objective. Do you have what it takes to save your fallen companion?
With this objective, it will pay off to bring a friend—and maybe a flashlight, too. As with all updates, certain variables and quota amounts are subject to change, so don't hesitate to let me know if any changes I made are too difficult or too easy!
For the next patch, I am planning to incorporate a Kick system for the host in order to combat a few pesky trolls, as well as more bug fixes. As always, patch contents are subject to change! Thank you!
