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.
🎮 Steam Deck & Controller Improvements!
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. 🎮
✅ Fixed Bugs
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.
🚨 A Little Note for Assistance
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!🙂
🚧 Ongoing Developments
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. 🌍
