To Pixelia News

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hi there, dear Pixelians! 👋[/p][p][/p][p]We're excited to roll out a fresh batch of features and improvements![/p][p][/p][p]This update includes several quality-of-life enhancements inspired by community suggestions, as well as a number of bug fixes. [/p][p][/p][p]Big thanks to everyone who reported bugs and shared feedback as it really helps us stay focused and improve the game more effectively! 💖[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Previously when you were going to cook something, you had to have required Ingredient items stored in your Inventory.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, if you don’t have them in your Inventory but they’re stored in your Fridge or Drawers, the cooking system will automatically detect and use them from your home storage.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If the same ingredient exists in both your inventory and Fridge/Drawers, the system will prioritize using the one from your Inventory first.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll now see icons showing the source of each ingredient, whether it’s taken from your Inventory or from home storage like the Fridge or Drawers.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You now have the option to end your current lease agreement at any time! [/p][p][/p][p]Whether you're planning to relocate, upgrade to a better place, you can terminate your rental contract through the housing interface.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Once terminated, you’ll be moved out immediately and your furniture will be sent to Storage Inventory.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll also receive 4💲 for every unused hour left on your lease. This new feature gives you greater flexibility in managing your housing.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]In addition to these new features, we’ve also addressed several bugs reported by the community.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]The issue where sleeping didn’t restore energy and time only progressed irregularly while your Store was open has now been fixed.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]A bug causing time to stop or advance unpredictably while your Business was open has also been resolved.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]Previously, opening your store remotely via phone prevented employee details from showing in the Daily Sales Report. This is now fixed and no longer an issue.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]Wall decorations and placeable items were mistakenly sent to your Inventory instead of Storage Inventory; this has been fixed in this new version and should now work as expected.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]A visual glitches near the Community Center has been fixed.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]We’ve also revised one of the "Elite Fighter" dream goals, which involves beating 25 Pixelians up. Previously, progress was only made by beating civilians up, but now victories in boxing matches will count toward this goal as well. This change will ensure that you don't have to commit a crime for completing this goal.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We have been working on Cloud Save support and only thing that is left now is to test it before we release this feature. After our tests are completed, we will make this feature public. [/p][p][/p][p]In our next update, we will focus completely on optimization and adding rotation options for new items.[/p][p][/p][h2]🐞 For everyone that is experiencing bugs;[/h2][p][/p][p]I truly appreciate all the bug reports you send as they make our bug fixing process so much smoother! 🙏[/p][p][/p][p]What helps even more is having access to the save files where these bugs occur. Sometimes I can't reproduce the issues on my end, but reviewing your save files lets me pinpoint and solve problems quickly.[/p][p][/p][p]So, if you encounter any bugs, please feel free to join our Discord and send me a direct message describing the issue. You can find me under the role of "Developer" in our Discord channel. Send me a message and I’ll guide you on how to share your save file, and I'll work to fix the bug you experience in the next update. 🙂[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for being such an amazing community! Now, it’s time to gradually focus on delivering bigger features, expanding content and moving closer to our overall vision. We're just getting started. 👀[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] If you do not use Discord, you can check out our Steam Forums for anything that you'd like to share. 😊[/p][p][/p][p] To Pixelia | Bug Reports [/p][p][/p][p] To Pixelia | Suggestions [/p][p][/p][p]-Kaan. ːtabbycatː[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello, dear Pixelians! ːespressoː[/p][p][/p][p]This update introduces a new quality-of-life feature aimed at making things easier for your Pixelian. [/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also implemented several community-requested additions and addressed various bugs for a smoother experience. [/p][p][/p][p]Let’s jump right in! 👀[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In this new update, as well as updating visuals of the job start window, we are introducing a brand-new feature. [/p][p][/p][p]From now on, once you reach Level 3 in your current job, you'll have the option to simulate your work shift if you prefer.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The results of a simulated shift will depend on your current Job Level and Mood. However, choosing to simulate comes with a trade-off.[/p][p][/p][p]You'll earn less Job Experience, and even if your simulated performance is rated A, you won’t receive any Bonus.[/p][p][/p][p]You'll be able to watch your Pixelian's performance as the shift timer counts down, with a summary detailing what happens during their work. So, be sure your Pixelian is in a good mood before starting their shift. 🙂[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Along with this update, we have brought a few improvements as well as fixes for some bugs we've identified.[/p][p][/p][p]When your rent ended or you sold your home, your items were correctly sent to Storage—except for those stored in your Fridge or Drawers, which were lost. [/p][p][/p][p]This issue has now been fixed, and affected items should now appear in Storage.[/p][p]
Note: If you currently have items in your Fridge or Drawers, please remove and place them again to ensure they’re saved. Otherwise, they may still be lost. But any item that you place from now on will be saved and sent to Storage Inventory.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also added the ability to place or take items in batches of 10 when using Drawers, Fridges, or Trash Bins.[/p][p][/p][p]Additional fixes include:[/p]

• [p]Resolved a bug where pets spawned outside the walls in two-room apartment.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where book writing progress would reset to Quality F after reloading the game.[/p]
• [p]Adjusted the exclamation mark position in the “Kneading” cooking tutorial (Neighbor Quest) for better visibility, as that exclamation icon previously blocked some interaction options.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a visual glitch affecting the Bottomtown Bench.[/p]
• [p]The "Family Person" dream (Reach 7 Hearts with any Pixelian) should now progress correctly.[/p]
• [p]UI for Cooking has slightly changed & been improved. [/p]
• [p]We have enabled Steam Deck Controller Support for Demo.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p]We're still addressing a few bugs that some of our community have encountered, and those fixes will be included in an upcoming update.[/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, the next update will focus on performance optimizations and Cloud Save support.[/p][p][/p][p]Following that, we plan to work on complete Steam Deck verification and continue adding new content & features for the game. I’m noting down all your suggestions and bug reports. While it takes a bit of time to implement everything, we’re steadily working through them one by one and making progress. 😊[/p][p][/p][p]French language support is currently in progress and will be added to the game once the translation is complete. We're also open to including other languages if volunteers are available. Feel free to contact me on Discord if you're interested in helping! ːtabbycatː[/p][p][/p][p]If you haven’t joined us yet, we warmly welcome you to our Discord community, a place where you can connect, share your suggestions, and help shape the future of the game with your valuable feedback.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] If you do not use Discord, you can check out our Steam Forums for anything that you'd like to share.

[p]Hello once again, dear Pixelians! ːespressoː[/p][p][/p][p]This update took a bit longer than expected, but we’re very excited to bring you another update that is thoughtfully designed based on the valuable feedback from all of you![/p][p][/p][p]In this release, we’re addressing a challenge that’s been affecting some of you and now we’re introducing a new feature that directly targets the issue. 👀[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’re excited to introduce a brand-new section in the Settings menu dedicated entirely to mini-game customization![/p][p][/p][p]This feature gives you the ability to adjust each individual mini-game according to your personal preferences.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You now have full control over your mini-game experience! [/p][p][/p][p]With the new settings, you can choose to enable or disable any mini-game in the game, giving you the freedom to focus on the ones you enjoy most.[/p][p][/p][p]Additionally, you can adjust the difficulty level for each mini-game individually, allowing you to have control over your experience even more, whether you’re looking for a more relaxed experience or a tougher test of your skills.[/p][p][/p][h2]🎯 How do 'Disabled Minigames' work?[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]When you choose to disable a mini-game, your Pixelian will take care of those activities on their own. The outcome will be determined entirely by your Pixelian’s relevant skill level for that specific task.[/p][p][/p][p]For simpler activities that don’t rely on any skill; like taking a bath, using the toilet, running on the treadmill, or lifting weights; your Pixelian will complete them automatically, without any input needed from you.[/p][p][/p][h2]🎶 What about Concerts and Side Jobs?[/h2][p][/p][p]As you know, certain activities; like Concerts and Side Jobs (those you receive through your mobile phone); involve performing on an instrument or creating a painting for a client.[/p][p][/p][p]If the mini-game required for one of these tasks is disabled, a pop-up will appear before you begin, asking if you’d like to simulate the mini-game instead.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This allows your Pixelian to handle those side jobs entirely on their own, with the outcome based solely on their relevant skill level. [/p][p][/p][p]The event will be simulated, and depending on how skilled your Pixelian is, you may either succeed or fail.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This setting is especially valuable for players with physical challenges that made it difficult to actively participate in mini-games, often leading to failure and reducing their overall enjoyment of the game. [/p][p][/p][p]We hope this new option removes that barrier and allows everyone to enjoy the experience more comfortably and fully.[/p][p][/p][h2]💰 Jobs[/h2][p][/p][p]For now, mini-games related to jobs are excluded from this feature, as we have separate plans for them.[/p][p][/p][p]We're considering allowing players to simulate their workdays, similar to this system, but likely only after reaching a certain level in that job. [/p][p][/p][p]Simulating a shift may come with drawbacks such as missing out on bonuses or performing slightly worse than usual. We plan to introduce these adjustments in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]We’ve got two exciting updates to share with you! 👀[/h3][p][/p]

• [p]⭐ To Pixelia will be available at a 20% discount during the Steam Summer Sales, running from June 26th to July 10th.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]⭐ In addition to the discount, we’re thrilled to announce the release of our updated Demo during the sale period, giving new players a chance to experience the latest improvements and features firsthand.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello dear Pixelians! ːespressoː[/p][p][/p][p]We’re back with another update crafted to meet the needs of our amazing community! [/p][p][/p][p]We’ve heard that some of you were running into trouble with the default keyboard layout, and we knew it was time to give you full control. 🛠️ [/p][p][/p][p]This update introduces Complete Key Rebinding Support for both Keyboard & Mouse, allowing you to customize your controls exactly how you like them. Alongside this, we’ve included a number of bug fixes to improve your overall experience.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]With this update, you now have the ability to customize over 80 keybindings, giving you full control over how you interact with the game. [/p][p][/p][p]This includes everything from general movement to more specific systems like mini-games and UI interactions.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve made sure that nearly every aspect of the game can be tailored to your personal preferences, so you can play in the way that feels most comfortable and intuitive to you. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Hello dear Pixelians! 🙌

This update comes with exciting news! The notorious Guitar Minigame has been revamped and is now much more easier than before.

But before we dive into the details, let’s take a look at everything included in this update.




[h2]📱 Social Media[/h2]



Pixelians, this update isn't just for the game, your Pixelian’s phone is getting an upgrade too!
A brand-new app is being introduced that lets you fast-forward time while boosting your Mood.



To keep things healthy for your Pixelian, your daily social media usage is capped at 5 hours. That means you can fast-forward up to 5 in-game hours per day, all while gaining a Mood boost.



And we’re just getting started! We’re planning to add even more apps to both your Pixelian’s phone and computer in future updates!



[h2]🎸 New Guitar Minigame[/h2]

We understand that many players found the Guitar Minigame to be overly challenging.
As a result, we’ve thoughtfully redesigned it to provide a more easier and less frustrating experience for all of you.



By integrating familiar mechanics from other minigames we already have, the updated version now delivers a much more intuitive and easier gameplay flow.

In this new version, you’ll only need to focus on one note at a time, a significant simplification compared to the previous version, where you had to manage four notes simultaneously.

Additionally, the control scheme has been updated: the minigame now uses the arrow keys on keyboard, or the D-Pad when playing with a controller or on Steam Deck.

While reworking the minigame, we also took the opportunity to enhance the user interface.



From now on, the appearance of the minigame UI will adapt to match the color of your guitar. We hope this small detail makes the gameplay feel more immersive.


[h2]🍞 Baker Job[/h2]
We’ve also made a few minor adjustments to the Baker Apprentice job to improve the overall user experience.

Since kneading and baking takes a lot of time, we’ve extended the customer wait time by 15 seconds to reduce pressure during the process.

Additionally, we’ve repositioned the Kneading Table and Flour, as their previous placement was too close together and made interactions less efficient.

Lastly, we’ve streamlined the baking flow: previously, you had to manually retrieve baked items from the oven. Now, if your baking is successful, the finished product will automatically appear on a plate, saving you time and making the process more intuitive.

• Phone Side Job Dialogue with Client Stuck on Three Dots: This long-standing bug has been difficult to track down, as I was never able to reproduce it on my end; until recently, when I received a save file where the issue occurred. If your character previously got stuck on the "three dots" screen with a blank dialogue window, this should now be resolved. Additionally, you will be correctly teleported to the appropriate side job location. However, if you experience another tpye of bug with this, feel free to let me know!
  
  
• Banking Quest Trigger Fix: Resolved an issue where leveling up your Pixelian by two levels at once could cause you to miss the Banking quest. Now, if your save file has never triggered the Bank Introduction quest, it will be granted upon loading the game.
  
  
• Controller Visuals for Modeling Job: Corrected visual prompts for controller inputs during the Modeling Job, ensuring they now display correctly.
  
  
• Dialogue Minigames on Controller & Steam Deck: Fixed a bug that prevented certain dialogue minigames, such as Debate and Kiss, from functioning properly when using a controller or playing on Steam Deck.
  
  

With the number of bugs steadily decreasing, we’re now shifting more focus toward adding new content and enhancing existing features, all while continuing to address any issues that may still affect your experience.
