Dear Future Pixelians First off, I want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the demo, whether during Next Fest or in August, and for all the incredible feedback and pointing out things that we could improve further! I would love to finally clarify those questions about the release date which most of you have been asking about and be completely transparent in our thought process; The original plan has been to release To Pixelia in Q3 2024 and this timeline was always our main goal. However after re-evaluating our goals, ideas together with my publisher team who have been assisting me a lot throughout my journey, it’s become clear that sticking to the current release date won’t allow enough time to fully realize everything we’ve envisioned for the game. So, what does it mean? First and foremost, I really want to make sure that your expectations will be not just met but exceeded. While it is very possible that the game could be released with its current content and features, I believe it truly can be improved and get even better. And although it might make more commercial sense for me to release it now, I care about making To Pixelia the best it can possibly be as I share the same passion as you all. That’s why I’d be happy to take a bit more time to polish everything, go through all of your feedback, refine the game, add more features & content and complete porting to more platforms, conduct more testing and finalize localization in as many languages as possible. Currently, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and German are being translated, but I’d like to have more languages added to the full version, such as French and Chinese and potentially some more.

[*] The game needs to definitely have more jobs, pets, farm animals, vehicles and customization options free from gender. for the full release version. There will be also new storylines & quests as well! [*] I’d like to add more crime opportunities to south part of the Pixelia, so there will be some societies and factions for you to discover. [*] Your in-game phone will also have more applications, enhancing the way you interact with the world and its systems. [*] I’ve also been wanting to expand the personality system to have hobbies and horoscopes to allow you further define and shape your characters better. [*] I’d also like to take some time to add some visual updates to the city itself, with enhanced textures and lighting effects, and even some -new building designs. [/list] I hope you will love the upcoming changes to the game. All of this will be part of the full release, and it will enhance your experience as well Due to my lack of communication over the past few months, which is entirely my fault, as I was focused on getting everything done within Q3, some of you might have assumed that the potential delay was solely because of porting the game to Switch. The truth is, I really want to enhance your experience by adding even more depth and features to the game. However, instead of rushing through everything, I believe you all deserve a more polished and refined final product. After carefully reconsidering everything, we’ve decided to move the release to within the first months of 2025 with a new target window of March/April. This may come off as bad news, but this decision is made with the best interest of our community in mind. I'd love to post regular monthly updates to inform you about all of this process, so transparency will not only be verbal, but you will have sneak peaks, images and so on. And I'm truly grateful for all your support and I’m committed to exceeding the expectations with our hard work and dedication.
