• v1.1.2 - Fixed Game Reset, Attendant Fixes & Achievement Reliability - 16 June 2026

  Fixed New Game not fully clearing previous save data. Fixed purchased dogs sometimes appearing as owned after starting a new game. Fixed attendant upgrades not saving immediately after purchase. Improved save/load reliability for dog ownership, attendant abilities, and achievement progress.

• v1.1.1 - Achievement Reliability & Balance Fixes - 15 June 2026

  v1.1.1 - Achievement Reliability & Balance Fixes Fixed several achievements that could fail to unlock after loading an existing save. All Achievements now remember progress between play sessions. Dog Lover and Park Manager should now unlock correctly for players who already earned them. Tree Hugger and Flower Power can now unlock from decorations already placed in the park. Progress-based achievements, like cleaning poop, watering dogs, playing fetch, and playtime, now continue properly after saving and reloading. Improved Steam achievement handling so unlocks are more reliable when Steam is still loading. Made poop sickness feel fairer: dogs now only get sick from nearby poop, not poop anywhere in the park. One poop is now more of a warning, while multiple nearby poops still need attention.

• v1.1.0 - Dog Care Fixes, Cleanup Improvements & Edit Park - 14 June 2026

  Fixed an upgrade issue where Auto Collect Coin could incorrectly mark Auto Clean Park as owned. Added a save migration and achievement recheck so Park Manager can unlock correctly for existing saves. Improved poop spawning so poop should no longer appear hidden under decorations or unreachable objects. Improved poop targeting so cleanup is easier when objects overlap. Improved the park attendant job system so food, water, and cleanup tasks are prioritized more reliably. Added Edit Park mode, allowing placed park items and decorations to be moved after placement.
