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:
I am aware of the crashes some of you have been encountering, and I’ve 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.
I'm actively working on identifying the root cause and will aim to implement a fix as soon as possible. I've 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 I appreciate it so much! 💖
🐞BUG FIXES
- Pressing certain keys while naming a book or song will now not open the UI.
- Fixed a bug that caused the player to remain stuck in a knocked-down pose after receiving treatment at the hospital.
- Fixed disappearing trees, stones, and other objects in the Pixenville farming scene.
- You can now interact properly with Joseph (NPC at Bottomtown Fight Club) to initiate fights.
- Election polls and vote predictions from assistants are now accurate and properly influence the election outcome.
- Resolved a bug that prevented opening the Employees Page if you hired multiple employees of the same type.
- The "Neighborly Hospitality" quest now correctly registers as completed once the conditions are met.

- Fixed an issue where digits on safes wouldn’t display correctly, making it hard to enter passwords when entering your home.
- Players will now not get kicked out of their own store at night.
- 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.

- Corrected the quest name that appeared when visiting Bottomtown.

- Fixed an issue where dragging items in the inventory would block interaction options like “Cancel,” causing a softlock.
- 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. 💖
