Dear Pixelians! 👋

Since our release day, we've been consistently working on improving the game's stability by fixing the bugs you've reported, which has been our top priority for a while now.

We're hopeful that this phase will be completed very soon and after that, we’ll shift our focus to redesigning key features and bringing in fresh content, new storylines, and exciting updates.

Before diving into the bug fixes, I want to begin with an important update, especially for those who’ve been dealing with crashes.

[h2]📢 News For Anyone That Experiences Crashes[/h2]

We’ve managed to reduce the game’s memory usage by about 10%, which may noticeably improve stability on some devices and help reduce the likelihood of crashes. While there’s still plenty of room for optimization, I’d love to hear whether this change brings improvements for any of you in this version [v1.0.15]

In the long term, I believe we can reduce memory usage by up to 40% and optimizations for the different parts of the game will continue to make sure everything runs more smoothly.

We’re working toward a completely crash-free experience, and while this is just the beginning, and this is an early but important step.

Note: Some devices still encounter occasional crashes, but based on the feedback we've received, there's already been noticeable improvement, some players who previously couldn’t play for more than 4–5 minutes are now enjoying hours of crash-free gameplay. And this progress came from just a 10% optimization! We will continue to optimize to the point where crashes will completely stop. 🙌

If you experience crashes, please report it here:

Hello dear Pixelians! 🙌

Thanks to your valuable feedback, we’ve been addressing issues consistently and making steady progress. Many significant bugs have already been resolved, and we’re well on our way to delivering a smoother and more stable experience. 😊

We truly appreciate your patience and continued support as we fine-tune the game. Your detailed reports and suggestions have been instrumental in helping us identify edge cases and unexpected behaviors. Every message, screenshot, and shared insight is helping us build a better game together. 🙏

[h3]Important Note About Crashes: [/h3]
I am aware of the crashes some of you have been encountering, and I’ve already begun investigating the issue.

According to the crash logs we've received so far, the problem appears to be specific to devices using Intel hardware.

I'm actively working on identifying the root cause and will aim to implement a fix as soon as possible. I've created a specific crash testing build in Steam where we will start doing frequent testings soon for users that experience crashes. You can see this build when you right click To Pixelia in your Steam Library and Properties > Betas. (You don't need to download it now as we haven't started this process yet).

Your patience means a lot during this time and I appreciate it so much! 💖

🐞BUG FIXES

1. Pressing certain keys while naming a book or song will now not open the UI.
   
   
2. Fixed a bug that caused the player to remain stuck in a knocked-down pose after receiving treatment at the hospital.
   
   
3. Fixed disappearing trees, stones, and other objects in the Pixenville farming scene.
   
   
4. You can now interact properly with Joseph (NPC at Bottomtown Fight Club) to initiate fights.
   
   
5. Election polls and vote predictions from assistants are now accurate and properly influence the election outcome.
   
   
6. Resolved a bug that prevented opening the Employees Page if you hired multiple employees of the same type.

14. Resolved a bug causing business stores to stop selling products after some time.

18. Fixed a bug where opening your store while already inside it allowed you to reopen it from the Phone, which would reset your daily sales.
    

- We remain committed to resolving every reported issue, and we’ll continue refining the game until it achieves complete stability.

⭐Tweaks

• Introduced support for a new screen resolution: 3840x2160 (4K).
  
• Increased payment rates for Modeling Jobs.

🎮 Mini-game Improvements

We also have some good news to share, Pixelians!

Some of our most challenging mini-games are getting an overhaul, with several design elements being simplified to improve the experience.

- The first update is for the Safe Cracking mini-game.

Previously, you had to guess the password blindly, but now, with each attempt, you'll receive feedback indicating whether a number is in the correct position. This change will make it much easier and faster to crack the code!


[h2]Plans for Other Mini-games[/h2]
Based on all the feedback we've gathered, we're also planning a complete redesign of the Guitar mini-game to greatly improve its design and overall experience. Most of our mini-games will receive design upgrades to make them more enjoyable, polished, and fun to play. 🎮




Thank you all so much for your continued support!

I know the launch came with its fair share of bugs and crashes, but please rest assured, we're actively fixing them one by one, and your feedback has been incredibly valuable in that process.

Looking ahead, I want to share a bit of the vision we have for the future of the game. We plan to introduce lots of new content; such as new storylines, new characters, new areas, new cosmetics, furnitures and lots of easter-eggs, as well as a range of quality-of-life improvements to improve the overall experience.

Full Key Rebinding support will be implemented after we finish redesigning our new mini-games, as they will introduce different control schemes.

Steam Deck compatibility and full controller support are also on our roadmap.

To Pixelia will keep growing and improving far beyond its current state, After addressing the missing pieces & aspects, our sights are set on a major milestone, adding co-op support.

- If you’ve been enjoying the game so far, leaving a positive review would mean the world to us and help us reach even more players. 💖

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.

[h3]Here is the pinned post in Bug Reports: [/h3]
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!
