Nominate "Pile Up!" for Steam Awards!

Hi everyone,

We're nearing the end of the year and Steam Awards are here! This year has been great for us and we are so happy to see you enjoy the serene atmosphere of Pile Up!.

We are still hard at work to update the game as frequently as possible and get ready for our full release next year. In the meantime, we would love your support during this year's Steam Awards. We believe the "Sit Back and Relax" category of the Steam Awards best suits our game.

You can nominate us directly from this post using the widget above!

Your support means a lot to us! Thank you for playing our game and we hope to continue our journey with all of you in the future.

Clarity & Feel Update + Game Connection Nomination!

Hello everyone! It’s been some time since we released an update, and we were working on our plans for the release and the new clarity and feel update.

But first, Pile Up! has been selected for Game Connection Europe 2023: Game Development Awards! And most importantly, we are nominated for the “People’s Choice Award”, which you will decide who will be the winner by voting, so we need your help!

If you would like to support us, please consider voting for us via the form below. Also, don’t forget to check out the other nominated games too! They are real gems -> https://forms.gle/hSfgcQhtEtVZRd7AA

So, with this out of the way, let’s talk about the game.

This update log will only be focused on the clarity update we just released, but if you want to learn more about the game’s future, keep an eye out on our socials for the next “State of The Game” post this weekend.


In the V0.4.6 update, we focused on clarity and quality of life changes, as the name suggests.


[h2]What’s Changed?[/h2]
  • Now, newcomers can select the language as soon as they enter the game. No more saying “The game opened in a language I have never seen before.”. By the way, that language was Turkish (which is our native language!), and you’ve learned something new about us today.
  • Camera movement improved to be more fluid.
  • Overall animations and day-night cycle transitions are much faster.
  • You don’t have to wait for the “happiness balls” to reach the menu to end the round.
  • You can right-click on a building on hand to open that building’s page in the handbook.
  • The color of the little happiness bar menu icon now changes depending on how well you do. So you can still learn how your people feel without having a big wheel on your screen.
  • A red vignette will appear if your happiness level is below the limit to make you realize the risk.


[h2]What’s Fixed?[/h2]
  • The major bug occurring in the selection that prevents you from continuing the game is fixed.
  • Buildings’ scroll field in the sandbox is fixed.
  • The game prevents duplicate selections now.
  • Minor bugs.

That’s all for now, see you in the “State of The Game” post and the Game Connection Awards 2023!
