Hey Pixelians!

I'm back with more bug fixes and some adjustments to the Steam Community hub! Let's dive right into the juicy details!



Royalties - You've been busy publishing your books and crafting music albums, and you deserve some money for it. You'll start receiving royalties from the Printing Office.

Guild of Artists Perks can now be used as intended.

Guild of Artists Quest will now be completed when you finish a painting using the "Create Art" option on your Painting Canvas.

You will no longer get stuck obtaining a Credit Card from the bank.

Basketball Arena - This area is now properly accessible. I spoke with the coach and told him more players are needed, so now if you receive an invite, you will be able to join and play on the team, regardless of prestige or quest state.

Missing Vegetables - Some of the missing vegetables are back in stock!

Autosave - If the game autosaved exactly at 00:00 AM and you quit and reloaded, the time could incorrectly display at 12:00PM, which sometimes leads to infinite loading screens.
Please Note: If you're still stuck on an infinite loading screen, it may be due to a corrupted save caused by a crash during saving. In future updates, I will introduce a backup save system to prevent data loss in these cases.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1954160/discussions/1/601903614118625469/

• Minigame Difficulty: After receiving feedback that some minigames are too challenging, I'm worked on two potential improvements, though likely both will be implemented.
  ➤ Individual difficulty settings for minigames like Guitar, Piano, and Painting.
  ➤ An option to disable mini-games entirely, allowing your character to perform the task automatically (e.g., exercising without the workout mini-game).
  
  
• Activity Motivation: Some community members have mentioned that they don't feel motivated to cook since buying food is easier. To address this, I'll be adding more depth.
  ➤ Characters may occasionally crave specific meals, and fulfilling those cravings will provide rewards and mood boost.
  ➤We're also considering adjusting food prices — increasing restaurant costs while reducing the cost of cooking at home.
  
  
• Skipping Interaction Dialogues: It's already possible to skip dialogues by left clicking, but the in-game communication was forgotten. A helpful hint will be added to make this clearer
  
  
• Rotating Furniture: For now, only chairs and sofas are rotatable. Once the bugs are squashed, more furniture will be added, and other furniture will be rotatable as well
  
  
• Mood: You will be able to increase your mood by visiting the Night Club in the upcoming updates.
  
  
• Casino: In the future, we're considering introducing a new confrontation mechanic: if you win too much at the Casino, bodyguards might show up and ask you to leave. You'll then have two choices; either to walk away or stand your ground and fight. If you manage to knock them out, you'll be able to keep gambling.
  
  

Official modding support is not in the game (yet!), but there are super talented community members that have already started making mods! Currently, there is a new channel in Discord called "mods-by-you" where mods are being shared. You can check them out if you would like!

Disclaimer: If you do try out these mods, please be aware since they are fan made, they may introduce new issues to the game.

There are two new sections in the discussion forum, Bug Reports and Suggestions. In the Bug Reports section, you can find a list of known bugs that are being worked on that will be actively updated. In Suggestions, if you have ideas for the game, things that can be improved, or just new additions you would like to see, you can post them there. This way, things are a little bit more organized and easier to find.


And finally, I want to sincerely thank all of you! I appreciate all of your feedback and patience. I know this week has been tough with bugs affecting your experience, but things will be much more stable and running smoothly in a few weeks if everything goes accordingly. Once that point is reached, I can shift my focus to expanding the game and bringing even more To Pixelia!

Hello, dear Pixelians!

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to report bugs and issues that affected your experience.

While bugs are sometimes unavoidable, they should never disrupt your enjoyment, so we rolled up our sleeves and tackled those pesky troublemakers. 🐞

Now, let’s take a look at what’s been fixed and improved in this update:

[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]

[h3]🎓 Graduation Bug Fixed:[/h3]

• The issue preventing graduation from Pixelian Academy is now resolved! If you're playing on an existing save where the bug occurred, just head over to the college, talk to the headmaster, and interact with him to graduate. If you’re starting a new game, everything should work as expected without any action needed.
  

[h3]📘 Quest Fixes & Progression:[/h3]

• The quest requiring you to raise any skill to 15 is now working correctly and should auto-complete if conditions are met.
  
  
• The Roughnecks' quest to defeat someone has been fixed.
  
  
• The Dream Task “Reach 100 Crime” now tracks progress accurately.
  
  
• Previously, aspiring criminals were losing 24 Crime points daily, making it hard to progress. We've rebalanced this. Crime now decreases by a random amount between 1 and 7 each day.
  
  
• You can now play Digital Keyboards directly from your inventory.
  
  
• Character walk and run speeds increased by 10%.
  
  
• Previously, accessing the Basketball Arena required Prestige Level 10, even if the Coach had invited you. Now, once you receive an invitation, you’ll be allowed in right away, no Prestige requirement needed.
  
  

[h3]💳 Banking Updates:[/h3]

• You can now make hospital payments using your Credit Card.
  
  
• The issue with increasing Credit Card limits is fixed. You can now spend 25 Prestige Points to boost your limit by 2,500P.
  

[h3]🍅 Ketchup Crisis Solved:[/h3]

• Turns out, ketchup had mysteriously vanished from all of Pixelia. But don’t worry! We’ve restocked every supermarket! Our sincerest apologies for the saucy inconvenience. 😅
  

NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS!

Thanks to your valuable feedback, we've added some new features and made updates to help improve your overall experience!

[h3]Intro Guides for Mini-Games[/h3]


Now, whenever you try a mini-game for the first time, a helpful pop-up will appear to explain how it works.


[h3]💾 Better Auto-Saving System[/h3]

• Auto-Save is now enabled by default for all new games! If you’re playing with an existing save file, you can still enable Auto-Save manually from the Pause Menu.
  
  
• We’ve also increased the save frequency. Your game will now auto-save every 1 minute and 30 seconds instead of every 5 minutes, offering better protection against progress loss!
  

We’ve added four new settings to help tailor the experience to your playstyle, and it is completely optional!

[h3]🕹 Key Rebinding[/h3]

• This was one of the most requested features, especially by players who had difficulty with certain key layouts. For now, you can rebind a select set of keys, and we’ll be expanding this to include more, particularly mini-game controls. So you can fully customize your setup soon!
  

[h3]📈 Skill Progression Speed[/h3]

• Don’t feel like grinding? No problem. You can now choose how quickly your skills progress while practicing. Select from Normal, Fast, or Very Fast. Your pace, your rules. 👀
  

[h3]⚡ Needs Decay Rate[/h3]

• You now have control over how quickly your Needs; like Energy, Hygiene, Hunger, Toilet, and Mood drop over time.
  

[h3]🗺 Reveal the Full Map[/h3]

• Having trouble finding your way around Pixelia? You can now spend 250 Prestige Points from the Pause Menu to instantly uncover the entire map. Easy exploration, if that’s your thing!
  

I’m incredibly grateful for all the feedback you’ve shared as it really helps shape the game. While a few bugs may have slipped by, don’t worry, we’re on top of them. Bugs can happen, but that doesn’t mean they’re here to stay. 🐞

I’ve also started working on optimization improvements to tackle the crashing issues some of you have encountered.

Lastly, if you’re enjoying To Pixelia and have a moment to leave a Steam review, it would mean a lot and help more people find the game.

Thanks again for all your support!

Hey Pixelians!

How is everyone settling into their new home? What a day yesterday was! I want to thank you all for your kind messages and incredible support. Despite a good amount of testing before launch, a few issues still managed to slip through. I also had to make some last-minute adjustments and temporarily disable certain features to comply with Steam’s release requirements. Unfortunately, this caused some disruptions for players, and I’m working as quickly as possible to resolve everything.

Today, I’d like to give you a peek behind the scenes at what’s happening:

✅ Bugs Fixed Yesterday:
Many of you noticed that your Pixelians were constantly getting sick. That was a traumatic experience—not just for you, but for the overwhelmed doctors of Pixelia too! Thankfully, this issue has been addressed, and things should be back to normal.

[h2]🔧 What I'm working on right now:[/h2]

Key Bindings – This has been a popular request, and I fully agree with the feedback. Key remapping is on the way, and it will also help lay the groundwork for improved controller support.

Controller Support – The game currently offers partial controller support, but it’s far from ideal. I'm actively working on a better implementation. It’ll take a bit of time, but it will get done.

Steam Deck Support – The game is technically playable on Steam Deck, but not to the level I’d like—or that you deserve. This will be improved alongside the controller support work.

In the meantime, a helpful tip from a community member named "giantbug":
Go into your Steam Deck controller settings and switch the configuration for the game to the “Controller with Camera Control” template instead of “Keyboard with Mouse.” This should make gameplay much smoother and will also correctly display in-game button prompts (like “A”, etc.).

Cloud Saves – Definitely coming soon. I want you to be able to share your save files seamlessly between machines.

Skill Balance – I’m reworking the skill system to make it more rewarding and less grindy to level up.

[h2] Bonus Fixes & World News:[/h2]

The hospital only accepted cash, refusing your credit cards—unacceptable! I’m currently in negotiations with them to allow credit card payments.

Meanwhile, the President of Pixelia is considering introducing a bill to cap daily casino profits. However, he’s worried about getting impeached, so... more debates are underway.


Lastly, I would like to kindly ask, if you do like the game, please consider leaving a review. It helps the game in a long run and allows more people to discover it, helping me to expand the game even more

Hey Pixelians!

We caught wind of the nasty plague many Pixelians are spreading around town and how all your hard-earned money is going towards medicines. After having a serious talk with the Pixelian Centers for Disease Control, we've finally been able to cut down the number of cases contracted and treated the infected NPCs that are spreading this heinous Slimy Tim virus around.

We hope this didn't put too much of a damper on your initial experience as it's definitely not a Pixelian rite of passage!
