PixPhys is a 2D engineering sandbox with huge technical possibilities and scope for imagination: design equipment from a jet-powered cart to space stations.
[h1]Hi, engineers![/h1]
Almost a month has passed since the last update – it's time to release a new one. It brings some new content to the game, but a lot of new features, and fixes a lot of bugs.
I would like to thank you for still playing our game after such a long stagnation. [i]September 25, 2022[/i] (the day after the release of update 1.1.0) there was a record number of active players – [i]131 people[/i]. I'd like to invite you to [url=https://discord.gg/RspChcJDge]our Discord server[/url], where you can find out about experimental releases and participate in discussions about future updates.

[h2]Localization[/h2]
Now you can [b]translate[/b] PixPhys into the language you are interested in, for this we have made a convenient utility that you can find along this path: [b][i]PixPhys\Tools\Localization Tool[/i][/b]. To start the translation, open the utility and open the default language in the game files (File>Open): [b][i]PixPhys\GameData\Languages[/i][/b]. On the left are localization keys, click on one of them and start editing its content.
