Garden Paws is a multiplayer RPG simulation game developed by indie team Bitten Toast Games. Grow plants, run your shop, tame animals, rebuild the town, go spelunking in the caves and more in this relaxing and unbearably cute game. The game was released early in 2018 on Steam here but is currently still in development. You can also play a shorter free demo here. The demo has a limited amount of quests that result in 2-4 hours of questing gameplay, but you can continue exploring the world and running your shop past that. Garden Paws will be set to officially launch in December 2019 on the Nintendo Switch and PC.

To build up the town you need coins, what better way to earn those then by running a shop! Explore the islands and its caves to collect everything from flowers to poop to sell in your shop.

Pajama Llama Games is an indie game developer in Belgium currently working on Flotsam, a unique town-builder in a flooded post-apocalyptic world with a strong focus on survival. The game is releasing sometime in 2019 for PC and Mac.

You recycle garbage, scrap, driftwood, and flotsam to construct buildings and collect fish and drinkable water to keep your villagers alive. Moreover, food will consist of fish, seafood like mussels, lobsters or even seaweed. On your journey you will encounter dangerous sea animals, visitors with unknown intentions, and mysterious ruins and wreckage.
