Pixelian City Planning: Key Rebindings, Crashes, and Credit Cards, Oh My!
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
