Hello, dear Pixelians! 🙌

It’s been a while since our last update, and I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you! As we approach our release—an announcement coming very soon—we’re working tirelessly to bring you the best possible version of the game.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:



We've introduced dozens of new customization options:

👗 New Outfits
📿 New Accessories
✂ New Hairstyles

and much more to let you customize your character even better!

These additions can be unlocked at the brand-new Tailor Store in Pixelia. using ⭐ Prestige Points earned by completing tasks in-game.











In addition, we've also introduced wide range of new home decorations, including furnitures, wallpapers, carpets, and flooring options to personalize your space even more richly.

• 🏆 Prestige Stores – Certain stores won’t accept regular currency. Instead, you'll use Prestige Points to unlock exclusive items!
  

As we’ve shared in previous devlogs, we’ve been developing the Business feature, allowing you to establish your own company, open a store, hire employees, manufacture products, and sell them to customers.

All of this is possible now!


In the center of Pixelia, you’ll find a construction site where you can purchase land and build the type of business you want to run.

Additionally, we plan to introduce the option to invest in other stores around Pixelia by purchasing shares, giving you an extra source of income.


















In the northern part of Pixelia, you'll find the Community Center, a hub for various activities organized by Social Clubs like the Chess Club.

These clubs host games you can take part in, and winning them grants you access to exclusive Perks they offer.








As your Pixelian accomplishes more milestones, various communities may take an interest in you and extend an invitation to join them.

We've added several Factions that you can be part of, each providing distinct optional tasks for you to take on.

Every Faction grants exclusive perks that can be incredibly beneficial to your Pixelian in many ways.

Some Factions may lead you down a path of crime, offering tasks that push the boundaries of the law. You might find yourself breaking into homes at the risk of a confrontation, hacking private data, or even being hired to rough someone up for intimidation.

On the other hand, some Factions take a more peaceful approach, focusing on friendly social activities and community engagement. The choice is yours.













There are various areas beyond Pixelia, and one of them is Pixenville! After being in development for some time, it’s finally ready for you all to explore.

We’re committed to expanding the Pixelian universe with new areas to visit, as well as abroad options where we may explore the idea of learning language to understand dialogues with residents of these places, which can be another skill for your Pixelian.





Additionally, several other areas in Pixelia have been updated. While we’ve already discussed the Construction Site and Community Center, there are more changes to explore!

• The Train Station has now been added to the north of Pixelia, offering travel to Pixenville, a nearby village outside the city.
  

• The former Storage Shop has been transformed into a Civic Office, where you can access licenses, permits, and services like Driver's License, Marriage Services, and more.
  

• Men's Wear has now become a Tailor Store, where you'll be able to unlock a wide range of outfits and clothing options.
  

[h2]🎮 Controller[/h2]


Controller support is almost done. It will be completely implemented and ready to be tested within a week.


[h2]🎯 Minigames![/h2]


Some minigames have been modified (such as Modeling, Dancing).



[h2]📰 New Quests![/h2]


Several new quests have been added.


[h2]🎵 New Soundtracks![/h2]


We've enriched the game by getting new music composed. You may hear specific soundtracks in different circumstances.


[h2]💬 Languages[/h2]


Thanks to the help of the volunteers from our community, we are having several languages translated!

There will be about 7-8 languages at launch, which we can share more specifically in our upcoming updates.

However, let us declare in this post that any help for Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean would be appreciated. Feel free to reach out if you could provide help with this. 💖

See you in another update, which will be very soon! 👀

Hello, dear Pixelians! 🖐

As you know, we think that personalization and creativity lie at the heart of the experience. That’s why we’re thrilled to represent our the revamped Furnishing & Build Mode system!

During our Alpha and Beta testing, I had the chance to explore some of your save files while working on bug fixes. I soon noticed that homes were minimally furnished, and I realized why.

[h3]What was the issue?[/h3]
Firstly there were around 6-7 different stores where players could buy furniture, wallpapers, carpets, and more.

The issue was that many testers had trouble finding all of these stores in game map. For instance, they would buy wallpapers not knowing how many pieces were needed to cover an entire wall, so when just one or two were missing, players had to go all the way back to the store. And what if they wanted to change it later? Imagine going all the way back to the store and do it all over. This was a major issue that needed addressing 🤝

*drumroll* And now, presenting… Our new Build Mode! 🎉



[h3]Entering Build Mode[/h3]



With this new feature, you'll have access to all kinds of furniture and decorations as soon as you step into your home. I wanted to create a system that feels most familiar and intuitive to our community.

[h3]Type of Rooms[/h3]



To make things even easier, all the furniture will be organized by rooms, allowing you to quickly find what you need for specific spaces. Whether you’re outfitting a cozy living room, a stylish kitchen, or a serene bedroom, everything will be neatly categorized to help streamline the decorating process.

[h3]All of the Furniture Options[/h3]



Once you select a specific type of furniture, you’ll be able to browse through all the available variations that fit your chosen style. This allows you to explore different styles, colors, and materials without any hassle.

[h3]Rotating Furnitures[/h3]



The design for rotating objects has been significantly improved to enhance the player experience. In future, nearly all of the furnitures will be rotatable, giving you more flexibility and control over how you arrange your space.

[h3]Purchasing Furniture as You Place It[/h3]



You can now buy furniture on the spot as you arrange it in your home. No more running back and forth to the store. Simply selecting and placing the items you want will be enough if you have sufficient money either in your wallet or credit card.

[h3]Moving Items Around[/h3]



This feature allows you to freely move items around without the need to return them to your inventory and place them again, making it much more efficient and user-friendly.

[h3]Selling Items[/h3]



And of course, selling items will be instantaneous too. You’ll receive the full price for any furniture you purchased, as long as it's not damaged.


[h2]What Else? 👀[/h2]

We have an exciting idea for upcoming updates! 💡

In addition to these changes, we are going to add Social Clubs

• Chess Club where you can participate in daily ranked chess matches and compete in tournaments.
  
• Literature Club and take part in monthly poetry contests, putting your writing talents to work. ✍
  
• Arm Wrestling Club to show off your strength. 💪
  

and more!

These clubs will host special events tailored to different interests. For example, if you’re an aspiring author, you can participate in a variety of weekly activities, such as poetry contests, writing short story challenges, or even monthly competitions for the bestselling books of the month.

These could include your own published works or those from other in-game authors. It can be another way for you to build fame of your Pixelian and put your talent to work, make money.

This idea is still fresh and incomplete, so we’re also eager to hear your suggestions and ideas for new clubs and activities. And of course, in addition to all the furnitures we have, we are going to add many more furniture options for you.

Thank you for your patience and support, it inspires me to give you the best experience. 💖

With best wishes

-Kaan
