We are here with another update featuring the newest level, Mellowstone Park!
[previewyoutube="8k_MR5osBzg;full"]
This nature park is home to lush trees, an active geyser and even a doggy mining operation!(?) First I thought we could take in the sights because my goodness, look at this beautiful sunset!
And while we are here, I wanted to show off the black and white filter for those dramatic shots. For you see, being a skilled dog photographer in all sorts of conditions.
You'll be able to play with all sorts of film types to compliment your pup.
Quests
While you're out and about you'll meet all sorts of colourful characters, including our ole pal Sea Dog who has a quest for us!
These quests will get your creative juice flowing by experimenting with angles and film types. You'll also have to look high and low for different dog breeds and special dogs who only appear after certain conditions are met.
Camera Accessories
And for all our hard work, Sea Dog has awarded us with a new camera lens!
Customize your camera with a variety of accessories to further develop your pupfolio and advance your photography skills.
That's all for now and I promise you'll hear from us again real soon!

More Dogs? More Dogs!
Hullo, puptographers!
From all of us here at Kitfox Games and Sundae Month, Happy New Year! It may not be the year of the dog but this has gotta be the year of taking pictures of the dog. 📸
As you can imagine, the team took some well-deserved time off over the holidays but, you don't have to suffer, because no matter what holidays come and go, I get to bring you... More doggo pictures!!!
Aww, look at these pups! So helpful, bringing me my equipment. I swear by the end of the day I was drowning in Beach Balls, Sticks, and Rackets. Everyone just wanted to play fetch, and who can blame them.
Not me!
I especially appreciate Motorcycle Dog's (I didn't catch his name tag, sorry) commitment to style AND safety! Way to go, buddy!
Filters
Remember that special film we talked about last month?
Well... I donned my backpack, my best camera, and went hunting for it! It was hidden well but with some perseverance and keen eyes I found some! The reward for my hard work was getting some extra-stylish pictures of some four-legged residents on the beach. ♥
I think I maybe interrupted some sorta secret meeting going on for this one...?
More dogs!?
Wait what, more dogs!? How can this be???
It's true and I've witnessed it myself. When out searching for camera filters I came across a dog I hadn't seen before, of course, I gave her a good head pat and continued on my way. Which y'know wasn't strange until I realized until that point I hadn't seen this breed of dog before yet now I was seeing it everywhere.
At first I thought it was a Frequency Illusion, but actually, that's how the game works -- once you unlock a new dog breed, they start roaming the world over, looking to be found and play fetch. Beautiful.
With the mission and dog-unlocking structure complete, the devs are focusing this month on improving the world -- the level design, the environments, new missions, hidden treasures. All the best stuff.
I'll report back on my findings next month! Maybe I'll even find some new filters or locations, so wish me luck! And let me know if you'd like to share pics of your own dog -- we pupperazzis have to stick together.
Yip-Yip!

Some Fetching Filters! 📷
Hullo, puptographers!
We're back with another newsletter filled with wholesome puppers, whose downright cuteness should warm you up on these cold winter months (unless you're on the southern hemisphere then hey, stay cool!).
We suggest a good game of fetch as it keeps the body warm. It's a timeless activity for all good doggos.
Dev P(updates) Since our last newsletter, the devs have been working on a fair few things including many bug fixes, which may have caused some new ones but hey, QA is all about chasing your tail until you catch it, right?
They're also continuing to iterate on the UI and working on the core UX has been taking the most attention.
Integrating gamepad support is also a top priority for the team. Which is fangastic as my paws just aren't great at precisely hitting all these small keys on the keyboasadddr
The new feature we can tell you about today is DOG FILTERS!
Okay wait no, not filtering out dogs, but CAMERA filters! For you! Taking pictures of all the pups!
There will be canisters of special film hidden around the world and when found will allow you to take a few phones with a unique colour palette.
As for what those filters will be, well we're keeping that one a secret for now but hopefully, we can tell you more soon.
Hope y'all enjoyed this little update. We'll be back in the new year with more news (or just cute dog pictures, who knows, both are good). You can see more good boys by following us on Twitter and of course, we're always up for a good bark on Discord too!
Hope everyone has a great holiday this season,
Fiona, Tanya & the team at Sundae Month 🐕
Let's play fetch!
Happy November, Puptographers!
Development of your doggone favourite photoshoot game continues. We've been streamlining the way you receive missions, and the way you submit your photos! But it's much more exciting to talk about the pups themselves and the amazing things THEY'VE been doing.
For example, they've been... wearing hats! And playing with toys!
We've added that anytime a dog has a toy, there's a 50% chance they'll bring it to the player... thus... you can now play fetch! Pups won't always want to give the toy back, of course, but the endless plz-throw-no-take struggle continues.
The days out here might be getting shorter, but in Pupperazzi it's always summer on the boardwalk. Take it easy, pet your loved ones, and we'll all be relaxing in Muttropolis before you know it. We're transitioning to a new Community Manager who will take over soon, but til then, we'll just keep working on the game.
