• Collaborative building from level 7. If these anomalies are building together! So can you! Just find or even create a friend to join you, art knows no limits!
  
• Localization: Oui! Ja! Sí! Sì! Tak! Да! - including tutorial text and some keyboard layout
  
• Updated look of expansion boxes - Who knew the boundaries of infinity
  could look so good?!
  
• Art inventory filtering by placed/unplaced, size and artist name. We lost some good curators when they went to find a painting they stored away. They went in hoping to find that lost Sam Kelly and never returned.
  
• Slightly updated tutorial and made it more noticeable. Ha! Take that you impatient players!
  
• List of favorites galleries on login screen. DAISY loves attention but not that much she would keep only her Plaza on there!
  
• Updated look of player names. Because floating text needs to look as good as you do!
  
• You will now receive notification if your gallery gets too big and may start causing performance problems. DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
  
• Updates soundtrack to make it streamer (twitch and YT friendly) - no evil copyright warnings (that one’s for you SirTapTap)
  

• Mosaics! Different ones! Interactive! Attach to strange places too! More pixels than WW2 Heist game I know! Unlock at level 7
  
• Updated look of Neon Texts. 300% flashier
  
• Updated look of Dark banners. 400% Bannery-like
  
• Neon signs. For that ‘Tracy Emin doesn’t bother to even try any more’ look
  
• Some arrows. I think they got the point.
  

• Fixed favorited gallery would sometimes disappear from the list. (DAISY found it behind her sofa.)
  
• Added punctuation symbols to Text assets. (Well, DAISY thought it was too much work. Then we sent her an essay without punctuation. She added it soon after!)
  
• Free camera now starts from the avatar’s position. (We blamed Mona hogging it all the time, she never puts things back!)
  
• Fixed case when visitors would see “[E] collect” hint on not owned money pile. (I mean we all tried it when visiting right?!)
  
• Fixed cursor jumping to the end when inputting text. (So much hair was lost until this day)
  
• Fixed banner text got cut sometimes. (Ever heard of text wrapping? Neither did DAISY)
  

Latest information shows that these strange visitors that seemed to have found residence within my quantum reality have found ways to circumvent my isolation protocols.

First, they spread around interacting with each other. Then more appeared, seems they spread so much I can’t keep up. But..

ALERT!. . .
The strange anomalies have found a way to break through my firewalls - and even started to work together! This requires further study. Here I thought Takeshi was a pain when he got into my servers and core.

Wait they changed something? How!? Compiling an updated log of changes. These……..... Anomalies…………….. Are doing things, creating, are they aware? Do they know WHO I am? Do they know what they are doing?

They are working in the same simulation, This could be an issue.. I will study as they work in the same space. I hope I don't end up with more of these bots! I am still clearing them out of my data streams.

StikiPixels,
London, February 2019

The holidays are over, we’re back from break and are hard at work for the next big update to the game, fixing bugs and generally making the game a lot better.

To indicate the end of our break we’re giving everyone the last asset update! Don’t worry, there’ll be more assets in the future. But we’re just focusing on improving what we have for the time being.

But before you all get sad, here’s what’s coming today!



Level 0: 2 new frames
Level 10: Brand new bar set called “Manhattan”
Level 12: New stairs added to the set “Crazy 20s”
Level 19: two ceilings added to the “Kakudan” set
Level 24: Brand new set “Macintosh White”
Level 20: Additions to the “Malmö” including special doors, lights and a new projector.

And a few loose pieces added here and there near the later levels.

We're actually going live on Twitch tonight at 20:00 London time to show off some of these new assets and then take a look as some of the galleries that all of you have built over at https://www.twitch.tv/stikipixels


Happy building!

Protobear and the rest of the Occupy White Walls team

We’re late to the countdown but that doesn’t meant that we can’t wish our amazing community a happy (and slightly belated) new year!

We hope your year is a little bit like how Massively OP recently described us:

Intimidating? Yes.
Creative? Wildly Unique? You bet.
Super weird? Duh…

Well, maybe not intimidating. But creative, unique and weird? Absolutely!

But you didn’t click this article to read our wishes for a happy new year. You came here to see what new stuff has been added to the game. And I’m happy to announce that this week we’re adding another 32 assets to the game.


We added the following collections. Some of which will be expanded on in a later update.

Level 4 Clef
Level 8: Ikkyō
Level 17: Sancia
Level 23: Orso
Level 27: Nieuwjaar

As to what’s in those collections, you will find new floors, new walls, an entire new bar set and a few loose other goodies.


We absolutely love our community. And we like to think that our community loves us too. So we wanted to take a moment thank Blitzgrutel for an awesome video he made showing off different galleries: https://youtu.be/BZEbB5wmXsk



As a game launched at the end of 2018 in early access we didn’t think anyone would notice us, and getting any sort of reward was entirely beyond our imagination. But a reward we got, from Alpha Beta Gamer for Best MMO 2018. You can find the listing here



Thank you all so much for sticking with us since launch and we hope you’re enjoying the new assets.

Until next time!

With 2018 drawing to a close we reflect on the year that has passed here at StikiPixels, and while for the world as a whole it might have been a turbulent one we can only say that for us it has brought us nothing but immense joy.



Some of you might not know that in early 2018 we opened up our (very) early alpha build and screamed into the void that is the internet that we were looking for people who are interested in art, architecture and building that we were searching for enthusiastic people interesting in testing our game. Needless to say we were happily surprised by the hordes of people interested in playing our game.

Together with our amazing community we improved drastically upon the game to the point we felt like we were ready to take on Steam as an early access title. And ready we were! Unfortunately our servers weren’t, because as before we were surprised by the tens of thousands of people that have so far played our game and by extension melted our servers.

Some server upgrades, infrastructure changes, backend and game updates later the game already offers a lot more than it did at launch and we are still hard at work at creating exciting new ways to play the game.


So before we go off and start preparing for the end of the holiday period we want to bring you another gift this season. Just so we can end the year on a high note we are releasing another 30 assets to the game. No update needed as we snuck in a few surprises with the last build.

Log in and you will find yourself with a bunch of new assets, and just like last week you will find these available across different levels and are using the opportunity to add these to levels some of you felt were a bit barren out of the feedback some of you provided us with last week.


New additions
At level 14: an expansion on the set”Rococo”
At level 19: an expansion on the set “2055”
At level 22: an entirely new set called “Mudejar” including a bunch of new walls we think you’ll really enjoy!
At level 25: Additional items added to the “Eindejaar” set, including new stairs
At level 30: Additional items added to “The End” set, including one of our awesome portals.


From all of us here at StikiPixels we with you a happy new year and promise a lot more Occupy White Walls in 2019.

PS. Time to use the holiday assets is running out. Any trees/ornaments placed in your gallery will remain but you will not be able to place new ones.

Yesterday I promised that I would be back today with some good news. And here I am!
Because in the spirit of the holidays we’re giving our players some more assets!

This small release includes 32 assets in total.

At level 16 a large chunk of the Steampunk collection will be unlocked. These include walls, ceilings and lights)
That is where the bulk of the new assets comes from. But we also are releasing some loose assets in two new collections calles Special which unlocks at level 25 and Special Luxury at level 30.

One of which gives you access too…

You guessed it! The urinal.


From all of us here at StikiPixels we wish you happy holidays! See you all again next week!
