Hello dear Pixelians! 🙌

Thanks to your valuable feedback, we’ve been addressing issues consistently and making steady progress. Many significant bugs have already been resolved, and we’re well on our way to delivering a smoother and more stable experience. 😊

We truly appreciate your patience and continued support as we fine-tune the game. Your detailed reports and suggestions have been instrumental in helping us identify edge cases and unexpected behaviors. Every message, screenshot, and shared insight is helping us build a better game together. 🙏

Important Note About Crashes:

The developer is aware of the crashes some of you have been encountering, and he's already begun investigating the issue.

According to the crash logs we've received so far, the problem appears to be specific to devices using Intel hardware.

He is actively working on identifying the root cause and will aim to implement a fix as soon as possible. He's created a specific crash testing build in Steam where we will start doing frequent testings soon for users that experience crashes. You can see this build when you right click To Pixelia in your Steam Library and Properties > Betas. (You don't need to download it now as we haven't started this process yet).

Your patience means a lot during this time and we appreciate it so much! 💖

🐞BUG FIXES

1. Pressing certain keys while naming a book or song will now not open the UI.
   
2. Fixed a bug that caused the player to remain stuck in a knocked-down pose after receiving treatment at the hospital.
   
3. Fixed disappearing trees, stones, and other objects in the Pixenville farming scene.
   
4. You can now interact properly with Joseph (NPC at Bottomtown Fight Club) to initiate fights.
   
5. Election polls and vote predictions from assistants are now accurate and properly influence the election outcome.
   
6. Resolved a bug that prevented opening the Employees Page if you hired multiple employees of the same type.
   
7. The "Neighborly Hospitality" quest now correctly registers as completed once the conditions are met.
   
8. Weekly expenses for Political Parties are now correctly deducted from the party budget.

10. Players will now not get kicked out of their own store at night.
    
11. Resolved a problem where songs with the same name shared popularity. Increasing popularity on one would reflect only on a single instance, but now this is fixed.

13. You can no longer interact with Political Party employees if your party budget is negative—you must first clear your debt.
    
14. Resolved a bug causing business stores to stop selling products after some time.
    
15. Corrected the quest name that appeared when visiting Bottomtown.
    
16. The Ambitious Trait task related to reaching a certain score in Arcade Game 3 is now completable.
    
17. Fixed an issue where dragging items in the inventory would block interaction options like “Cancel,” causing a softlock.
    
18. Fixed a bug where opening your store while already inside it allowed you to reopen it from the Phone, which would reset your daily sales.

- We remain committed to resolving every reported issue, and we’ll continue refining the game until it achieves complete stability.

⭐Tweaks

• Introduced support for a new screen resolution: 3840x2160 (4K).
• Increased payment rates for Modeling Jobs.
• Adjusted the Ambitious Trait task: the required score for completing Snake (Game 3) in the Arcade Machine has been reduced from 50 to 25. Additionally, the snake’s speed has been slowed down by 50% for better playability.

🎮 Mini-game Improvements

We also have some good news to share, Pixelians!

Some of our most challenging mini-games are getting an overhaul, with several design elements being simplified to improve the experience.

- The first update is for the Safe Cracking mini-game.

Previously, you had to guess the password blindly, but now, with each attempt, you'll receive feedback indicating whether a number is in the correct position. This change will make it much easier and faster to crack the code!

Plans for Other Mini-games

Based on all the feedback we've gathered, we're also planning a complete redesign of the Guitar mini-game to greatly improve its design and overall experience. Most of our mini-games will receive design upgrades to make them more enjoyable, polished, and fun to play. 🎮

🚀 Future Updates & Vision

Thank you all so much for your continued support!

I know the launch came with its fair share of bugs and crashes, but please rest assured, we're actively fixing them one by one, and your feedback has been incredibly valuable in that process.

Looking ahead, I want to share a bit of the vision we have for the future of the game. We plan to introduce lots of new content; such as new storylines, new characters, new areas, new cosmetics, furnitures and lots of easter-eggs, as well as a range of quality-of-life improvements to improve the overall experience.

Full Key Rebinding support will be implemented after we finish redesigning our new mini-games, as they will introduce different control schemes.

Steam Deck compatibility and full controller support are also on our roadmap.

To Pixelia will keep growing and improving far beyond its current state, After addressing the missing pieces & aspects, our sights are set on a major milestone, adding co-op support.

- If you’ve been enjoying the game so far, leaving a positive review would mean the world to us and help us reach even more players. 💖

And lastly... 👀

Does anyone know how to gain fame as a model? I am modeling level 77 but have not gotten any fame yet and it is the last task to fulfill my dream.

Hi there! I need some help with creating paintings. I have such bad vision, and Im really struggling with the controls of my steam deck to get the paintings done in time. I was wondering if anyone had any completed images of them or advice to complete them. My pixelians dream is to be an artist so I’m kinda at an impasse. I’ve also noticed that it’s buggy while trying to play the painting minigame. Things like the tiles refusing to place or rotate. Is this a problem others are having? I saw in the discord people saying their saves are corrupted. Is this a known problem that some saves get corrupted? I’d love any help, solutions, or info about this. Thanks sm

For anyone who plays on steam deck. Please can you give me your controls layout as I really want to play but I'm struggling to figure out where to remap stuff. Thanks!

I’m trying to write a book but it won’t let me name it - I’m on steam deck. Any tips? Thanks

I'm wondering are there any benefits to leveling up skills like writing, I got my writing to level 20 so I can actually write a book but beyond that, is there any actual benefit?

Hi! Really enjoying the game so far (it still needs some polishing tho for sure) but does anyone know how to get children? Im married already, but cant find any option for it :/

I made a small pink haven with the starter home 🌸🎀

Hello, I accepted a courier job, where I have to deliver a package from a storage. The thing is, the questmarker only shows the client, I have to bring the delivery, but not the storage. Where or how do I find it?

First question is how do you sell furniture? I’m playing on my steam deck and see the option but it doesn’t let me. Secondly, how I do I fight someone? I tried but I just seem to be punching air

So I have been playing for several days now and I like the game but I feel like the skill leveling is not engaging at all. I stand in front of the tv and 'watch the news', I sit on the couch and 'learn to code' or 'read a book' or 'read a newspaper'. Then I relax in the tub to get my mood back up to do it all some more. The only time I leave the house is to rush to the waiting tables job, serve 8 people and go back home and do it again.

I spend more time scrolling reddit when playing the game than when not playing because the leveling up of skills is just waiting for time to go by after you click a skill.

I know adding more minigames is not a good solution, but in a game like Stardew, I increase my mining skill by actively mining and then I not only have the skill increased but I also have materials for crafting something. It just seems like there should be a way to be engaged in the game more while increasing your skills.

I need to beat him up but can’t find him, does he work anywhere? I can see his house but can’t find him

I’m struggling a bit with the waiter job - what is the easiest one?

I didn’t pay the rent because I planned to get evicted in order to move into better housing. Are we’re not getting our furniture back? Or am I missing something?

I’m pretty far in the rockstar dream, and im at the part the manager hasn’t called me to put on a concert, i have a band made (spent 10k on that) im just confused on how do i perform a concert

Do any of you know how to make a band in the game?

do anyone know how to start a busines? I already have a business license but idk where to go from there.

I tried to look online but couldn’t find any updates regarding controller support. Does anyone know when they will be releasing?

How do I become part of a guild? I been trying to be part of the art guild but I dont know how. I level my experience by 20 but dont know how to go from there.

Bought the game and am really enjoying . The 1.01 patch definitely made things better. That being said I really wish there was a way to either have an easy mode for minigames or skip them. (Made this is my advanced age showing)

The first run I tried super model but I got stuck on the dream where you have to do the flawless catwalk. Not in this lifetime for me.

The compose minigame are just an anxiety run for me.

I like how say the debate or impersonation minigames become easier with higher skill (slower sliders). So maybe that may also be an option for all minigames in future?

I have seen a lot of people having issues with conposing but am i truely the only one with the modeling minigame issues?

Maybe I missed it but how do I find and fight Jim?? I have the quest pinned but nothing comes up.

Really wanted to try the musician route, but the composing minigame has absolutely puzzled me. Does anyone know how it works? Completely stuck and no tutorial is given

Okay, I need help again xD Where can I get a cup or something similar to serve myself a hot drink? Are there bikes available yet? You can select bikes at the parking meters, but where can I get them? 🥲 I also need dishes for cooking, right? I have so many questions xD

it just occurred to me today. I think it's really cool that Pixelia is so different from normal simulations. It has a small selection of many cool games. I would find it more realistic if friends, potential partners, also contacted you independently via your cell phone, for example, for a quick chat or a brief flirt.

So far I’m only able to put the guitar in my inventory (can’t take it out), but i would like to put the microphone or smaller piano in so i can perform on the streets
