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.

If you haven't yet, feel free to join our Discord community to share your suggestions and feedback.

Dear Pixelians! 👋

This patch brings a fresh wave of quality-of-life improvements, new content, and community-requested features to make your experience smoother, more fun, and even more immersive.

Let’s dive into what’s new! 🚀



[h2]Storage Inventory[/h2]



This update introduces a brand-new feature: Storage Inventory 📦

You’ll be able to access it straight from the Furnishing Window while at home, and it’s shared between all of your properties. If you miss your rent and get evicted, or decide to sell your property without including furniture, all your items will be safely transferred to your Storage Inventory.

I’ve also added a new option that lets you manually send any of your furniture to your Storage Inventory whenever you’d like.

Say goodbye to losing your hard-earned furniture during tough times in Pixelia! 🏡

[h2]🎯 Pin the Pixelian! – NPC Waypointing Arrives![/h2]



Ever found yourself circling Pixelia over and over, just trying to track down that one elusive Pixelian for a quest? Or maybe you've resorted to waiting outside their home like a detective on a stakeout? Finding the right person at the right time hasn’t always been easy in earlier versions.

With our new NPC Waypoint System, that hassle is finally a thing of the past! 🗺️



You can now place a waypoint on any NPC, allowing you to instantly locate them on the map and track them in real-time. Whether you're on a mission, handing in a task, or just looking to say hi, finding the right Pixelian is now as easy as pie.

No more hide-and-seek! ✨

[h2]Purchasing Rented Properties Made Easier![/h2]



Previously, you had to wait until your rental period expired, and often faced eviction, before you could buy a rented home. And even worse, when you got evicted, your ruthless landlord would sell off your furniture to cover costs. This meant that buying your rented home involved a lot of hassle and difficulties.

Now, with this new feature, you can purchase your rented property at any time, without waiting for the lease to end or dealing with eviction hassles!

You can purchase your rented property through the Housing menu or by visiting the Real Estate Office.

[h2]Ghoulies Safecracking Quest[/h2]



This quest now features a handy option to highlight the specific home you need to lockpick and break into to access the safe, making your mission clearer and easier to complete.

[h2] 💬 Skipping Dialogues[/h2]



This isn’t a new feature, but we didn’t communicate it clearly before, which was our oversight. You’ve always been able to skip dialogue, but since we didn’t mention it, many in our community were unaware.

To fix this, we’ve now added a visual hint to let you know you can skip and don’t have to wait for any Pixelian during conversations.

[h2]💾 More Reliable Save System![/h2]

We understand how frustrating it can be to lose your progress due to corrupted save files when a crash occurs during manual or auto-saving. Previously, interruptions during the save process could damage your save data, causing you to lose your game progress.

To prevent this, we’ve implemented an additional safety measure.

Now, when you save your game, the original save file remains untouched. The game first creates a temporary copy of your save file, writes the new data onto that copy, and only replaces the original file once the process completes successfully. This way, if a crash or interruption happens during saving, your original save will stay intact, protected and untouched.

[h3]Other Minor Tweaks[/h3]

• Hacking Bank Accounts and Stealing Data on computers now takes much less time.
  
  
• If your hacking attempt fails, the Crime UI will appear to display the amount of Crime Points you've gained.
  
  
• Controller support has been added for the Butcher Job.
  

• To view concert offers from your Music Band manager, you needed 5 Composed Music. However, if you had a Music Album containing 10 Composed Music, the game didn’t correctly recognize that this requirement was met. This issue is fixed now.
  
  
• Successful government hacking actions on the computer now count correctly toward the "Mastermind Criminal" dream goal.
  
  
• Resolved a bug where the "Write Book" mini-game window remained open if your character experienced a bladder accident during the book writing process.
  
  
• Fixed the Trait Task "Eat 3 Seafood" so that eating Cooked Salmon now counts properly.
  
  
• Relationship values will no longer drop below -100 when attacking someone.
  
  
• Corrected the price range for the product "Solar Bloom" in the Cosmetics Store.
  
  
• Corrected the incorrect furniture category title for beds in the Furnishing Menu.
  

And there’s more news! If everything goes smoothly, the upcoming update will wrap up the long-awaited revamp of the notorious Guitar Minigame. Following that, we’ll start rolling out options to turn mini-games on or off.

See you in the next update soon! 💖

Hello, dear Pixelians! 🙌

We're back with another round of important bug fixes to keep your gameplay experience smooth and enjoyable.

Alongside these improvements, we also wanted to share a bit of insight into what's coming next, including a sneak peek at the features and updates we’re planning for future versions. 🔭

Before we jump into the latest bug fixes, let’s take a moment to explore what you can expect in our upcoming updates.



While we continue addressing all reported bugs, we’ve also begun improving various parts of the game to enhance your overall experience.

With this new update, Steam Deck controller support should now feel more optimized right out of the box.

We’ve also kicked off the process of getting fully verified for Steam Deck, so we will be working on all the required conditions to make your experience better on the Deck! ✅

We’re currently working on native resolution support for Steam Deck (1280x800), and a large portion of the UI will soon be fully navigable via gamepad. Smoother gameplay is on the way for Steam Deck users or anyone that enjoys playing the game with controllers. 🎮





Here is what we’ve improved in this new version.

• TVs and some minor furnitures no longer disappear from NPC homes when you visit there for the second time.
  
  
• Phone calls no longer trigger during scene transitions, preventing bugs during bus travel.
  
  
• The game no longer autosaves when changing scenes.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where businesses couldn’t be opened due to insufficient product stock, even when you had sufficient amount of products (25).
  
  
• Transferring items from your Inventory to your Business Materials Inventory now registers correctly, so you won’t lose transferred items.
  
  
• Programming job bug fixed: Dividing any number by [0000] no longer causes crashes or bugs.
  
  
• The bike color change issue at the Mechanics shop has been resolved.
  
  
• Successfully picking locks now properly increases your Lockpicking skill.
  
  
• Mastermind Criminal Dream: Hacking 20 bank accounts now rewards the correct amount of Prestige instead of 0.
  
  
• Your name now displays correctly in the pre-game roster when entering a Basketball match.
  
  
• Fixed a bug preventing travel to Pixenville even after reaching Pixelian level 10.
  

[h3]🚨 A Little Note for Assistance[/h3]
Dear Pixelians! There’s this sneaky bug roaming around that I just can’t seem to catch. 🐛

I’m aware of this well-known bug that some of you have been experiencing, but I was unable to reproduce this bug on my end, like being teleported to the wrong job locations for side jobs accepted through your phone. For example, if you have the Janitor job, you might end up teleported to the Musician job location instead.

If you’re experiencing some bug like this, I would really appreciate it so much if you could share your save file with me on Discord. This will help me check and identify the root cause of the problem more effectively. Let’s crush this nasty bug once and for all!🙂




These features and improvements below are currently in development for our next update and are still a work in progress. While these improvements take longer to implement than bug fixes, they’re actively being worked on.

To keep things transparent about what’s happening behind the scenes beyond the bug fixes, I’ll be including this kind of list in update logs. 📝

• Creating backup copies of your save game files during both auto-save and manual save to prevent file corruption if the game crashes during saving.
  
  
• Cloud saving support, allowing your save game to be accessed and synced across multiple devices.
  
  
• A waypoint marker will be added to help you locate quest-related characters more easily.
  
  
• Improved controller navigation for menu interfaces.
  
  
• Better text sizes for handheld consoles.
  
  
• Expanded key rebinding options to give you more control.
  
  
• A custom in-game keyboard interface designed for Steam Deck or other handheld console users.
  
  
• The ability to toggle mini-games on or off
  
  
• A complete overhaul of several mini-games for a better experience.
  
  
• More optimization to improve the performance and reduce the memory usage.
  

We’ll soon be diving into the Kickstarter stretch goals we committed to, all with the goal of expanding and deepening the Pixelian universe. 🌍
