Going Forwards
This update is bringing in a feature we're very excited for and that's the Shop Stall! After a few quests you'll be able to open your own stall and take customer orders. Once you've upgraded your shop you'll even be able to sell creatures!
We aimed to make this feature interactive, so instead of customers purchasing what you have, they'll come up to you and place an order. If they'd like to purchase your creatures on display, the customers will offer a price and if accepted will also give you element experience. In the future, we hope to add new quests, upgrades and new rewards for completing orders. Let us know what you think about this new feature.
We are always listening to feedback and one large report was the difficulty it was to level up the Earth Zone. With this we have reduced the XP requirement to reach the next level as well as added new potions that will grant higher XP.
You may also notice the green piles of slime around the home area and Earth Zone, these are corrupted earth that can be removed with the Cleanse Earth Potion to gain significant Earth XP.
New Potions:
Harvest Grass Potion. Unlocks with Earth Level 1, use this potion to harvest all grass in the area it was thrown.
Grow Tree Potion. Unlocks with Earth Level 1, use this potion to grow a permanent decorative tree. Can be destroyed with tree breaking potion.
Bottled Strawberry. Unlocks with the earth locked zone, can be used to sell strawberries at a higher cost.
Bottled Earth Berries. Unlocks with the earth locked zone, can be used to sell earth berries at a higher cost.
Shop has new items to purchase
There are many new items to purchase in the wilds shop!
The shopkeeper is now selling items that can be delivered directly to your doorstep! Their stock updates periodically so it's always good to stop by and check what's for sale.
The shop deliveries items right to your door! You can even move the shop area around.
Open your very own shop!
Once upgraded your stall in the market square will be ready for anything!
There is a new business dragon in town and his name is Eden! Once you've helped Eden start up the market you'll be able to open your very own shop stall!
Once you have opened your shop customers will approach you with bulk item requests. Completing those requests will give you element experience and plenty of coin!
The market stall can be upgraded at the wild shopkeeper's shop, upgrades can attract more customers, give you a new potion crafting station, and even a creature shop where customers come up with different offers to buy your pets.
More notes and fixes:
You can now craft multiple potions at once!
There are elemental tabs on the side of the potions book. As more potions are added more elemental pages will also be added!
The cost to unlock wild areas has been reduced.
There is now a craft slider for crafting multiple potions at once.
Added Lavender, Blue Leaf and Zinnia to the home area.
The crafting station is now working and can be used to build chests.

The potion book now has tabs to filter out potions by zones.
There is now a level up notification when you level up.
Trees that have been destroyed can respawn.
The potion book now shows how much experience crafting a specific potion gives.

We're live on Steam!

We've launched!
This is the first step to a new game with lots more coming. We have launched on Steam as an Early Access release and plan on adding lots more in the future including new areas, creatures, quests and more. For now we hope you enjoy the game in it's Early Access form AND don't forget if you own Potion Paws and Garden Paws in the same Steam library you'll unlock 25+ furniture items, and the Cat Ghost in Garden Paws!
We appreciate everyone's patience while we launch this game, we hope you enjoy the starting of it and the direction we're taking it. Of course we hope you enjoy the spooky items this game adds to Garden Paws as well!
Your new home needs a bit of cleanup...
Exploring
Conrad is here and ready to purchase all your potions, tames, and anything else you find!
From the initial Kickstarter plan we have expanded adding Elemental zones and creating a large wilds area filled with items to gather, recipes, puzzles and more.
Right now there is your home area, the wilds to unlock and the Earth Elemental Zone. This area is visually very different and the other elemental zones coming will also be visually different to better represent their element.
Earth Elemental Zone
Each Element has it's own level which you can increase by doing quests for that element, crafting element specific potions and more. Once you have reached a high enough level in that zone you will be able to advance to the next.
Potions, Taming and other features
Work with the Adventurer's Guild to unlock areas to explore and level up your elements.
The main focus is to craft potions, obtain coin and unlock more areas. Some potions already have effects that you can use on yourself or throw the potion to alter your world. Other than selling potions though you can also tame creatures, (after you've reached Earth Level 5), and collect them or sell them to Conrad for coin.
The creatures can come in any colour and will be able to drop rare items in the future. There are tons of colourful unique creatures to collect with more to come!
Combat
As we would like the focus of Potion Paws to be the exploring and crafting aspects we have not added combat for the initial EA launch. Combat will be a 100% optional part of the game and is not required to advance through the levels. The combat will be limited to the dungeons and optional unlock areas in each zones.
The combat is focusing on stealth and strategy. Each creature has a visual attack and sight locator. If you are within the creatures line of sight it will attack you. We plan on expanding on the combat in the future but for now it is not our main focus for the game.
Garden Paws Crossover Items
We are happy to say you are able to obtain the crossover items for Garden Paws by owning Potion Paws and Garden Paws in the same Steam library. There are over 25 furniture items and the Cat Ghost to have in your Garden Paws world.
We love hearing from you!
Come chat with us in Discord, on Twitter or on Twitch!
As this is the first step for Potion Paws we have added just a little bit of everything from crafting potions to exploring and taming creatures, (you can even go into the dungeon to check it out). With the community we hope to expand on your favourite features for Potion Paws, let us know in the comments or check out our discord to join the conversation.
Unlock elemental zones in the wilds to gather new materials, items and recipes.
Soon to come is the Water Elemental Zone that will take you to new depths.

Huge Update! Almost a brand new game! Lots more to come!
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Aug 11, 2020 at 09:34:18 AM
We kept the original house and added house upgrades to purchase furniture and more!
Hello everyone, first we'd like to apologize for not bringing you any news sooner. In the last few months we've been revisiting Potion Paws multiple times, we rebuilt the game from the ground up a few times now and we're really happy to share the current version with you. We've decided to take Potion Paws quite a bit further than we initially planned.
We have expanded the map from the initial plan and added more maps to explore, we've also added multiplayer and some building aspects to the game. The core gameplay is still the same, but we've added elemental zones to explore. These zones will take you through forests, underwater,above the clouds, and to firey realms.
We were holding off on sharing the developments until we have something we were proud of. Again we apologize for the delay and we hope you enjoy the latest news on Potion Paws.
Today we have pushed the latest build to steam and will be updating it over the next week. We have lots of plans for Potion Paws and in the current version, you'll get a look at where the game is heading. With community feedback, we hope to build upon everyone's favorite parts of Potion Paws.
Home
In the demo, your home area was right outside the wilds area. We have expanded your home area and in this new version, there's a big area around your house before you reach the wilds. In this area, you'll find the Adventurer's Guild and Conrad that will help you get situated in the game and give you quests to help with your progress.
The Adventurer's Guild is in charge of keeping the area safe, they have set up barriers around unsafe areas, but they can remove those barriers for a fee. They also have some work if you're in need of coin or experience.
You'll be able to unlock different potions by completing tasks in the world. Once unlocked the potion will be available in your potion book and you can craft it to reveal what it is. To use a potion equip it then press E to use on yourself or F to throw it. Many more potions and effects are coming!
Gather wood to trade for building parts including the floor, wall and pillar pictured here.
The Wilds
The Wilds has been redone with new zones, new items, new puzzles, and more. There are also special wilds zones for each element. Lots more to come with future updates!
You can also find special items in the wilds that you might want to bring home with you.
Elemental Zones
The earth zone.
A large feature in this new version are the Elemental Zones. To progress in the game you will be leveling up your elemental abilities and unlocking new elements. Each zone has a special set of upgrades that you will be able to purchase as you level up. You can level up an element by completing quests for that zone, collecting special materials, solving puzzles, and performing other tasks related to the zone.
The water element zone!
Crossover Furniture for Garden Paws
If you are looking to grab the crossover furniture items and Cat Ghost for Garden Paws we'll be releasing Potion Paws on Steam soon. If you already own both games as long as both are in the same steam library you will receive in game mail for Garden Paws in 1 in-game day.

The key are on the way!

The game keys are out!
Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of communication. We ran into a few issues with releasing Potion Paws, we're happy to say it's been resolved and we're able to push the game as Early Access to everyone that has backed.
Unfortunately we couldn't get Potion Paws completely done on the timeline we wanted due to unforeseen health complications. For this reason and others we have decided to release it as Early Access on Steam so we can work on it more, making it the game we envision as opposed to rushing it. We have quite a few features, items and areas we'll be adding over the next couple months.
We wanted to get the keys to everyone by Halloween but without getting too much into it, we ran into some delays that weren't in our control and couldn't get the keys for backers.
The keys will be sent out within the next 24 hours through Backerkit. The link to the survey should be in your email, please make sure to check your spam folder. If you didn't receive the survey link send us a message through kickstarter.
Going forwards we have set a schedule for ourselves, (Dan and Kristina), and we're really looking forwards to building onto Potion Paws with the community. We are also happy to say the crossover items will be coming into the next Garden Paws update!
Thanks everyone for your patience, we hope you enjoy the first steps of Potion Paws. If you would like to contribute to the game with ideas or anything please join our Discord here: www.discord.gg/BittenToast
Many Thanks from Devs Dan, Kristina and our Composer Thiago!

48 Hours!
We're entering the final stretch and we're amazed with all your support. We've been asked a few times if Potion Paws will be coming for the Switch and while it is a very high possibility, at this time we don't want to do pre-orders for it.
If we do launch on the Switch we'll definitely let you know by posting an update here. We're still on schedule to release the full game shortly after the Kickstarter concludes in time for Halloween.
We just want to give another big Thank You to everyone who supported our spooky passion project. We hope you enjoy the game as much as we've enjoyed making it.
We've also been asked if more potions are coming into the main game and while we don't have an exact number we can say there will be a lot more potions coming with many different uses.
We're adding 3D Printing files as Add-Ons! These files are ready to be used in any 3d printer or taken to a local shop or library to 3D print.
