The artwork of the upcoming car has changed. The last one has the wrong portion that was beyond saving, so I made a smaller one like this:So far the artwork of car and car shop has completed, the public version should release on time based on current estimation. The gameplay of car racing is borrowed from my previous game, City Worker Simulator, with a slight twist.
- Public Release Date Announced - 10 July 2026
Hello all!I would like to confirm the exact date of release of Pixel City: July 31stThat is the last day of July, because I need some more time to polish the game into a ready state, so for now, no more demo version updates, instead the public release version is having 2x to 3x the content of a regular demo update.I am focusing on the development of a car shop, a racing club, a racing circuit with a basic racing system, in-game achievements, and potentially finishing the electric bike content. Again, sorry of the electric bike part being postponed.I am actually also open to any feedbacks and suggestions, so far, not responses yet, but the amount of demo players has exceeded 100, which is good enough to me at this point. I will also be posting devlogs every Friday.Hope you enjoy the public version coming in 3 weeks!

Hello,This week I have worked on adding a dialogue to the receptionist on the ground floor of the hotel. In the future, I aim to make at least 1 series of dialogue for every NPC character.The next update is adding a electric bike shop, which sells electric bikes for you to increase your movement speed. The price is not going to be expensive, at least not as the further upcoming cars. However I am still working on how to park electric bikes, and whether or not charging should be a feature.

- DEVLOG #6 - 22 May 2026
Hi all,I just want to share with you the progress I made this week.During the beginning of the week, I tried to revamp the moving display mechanism, that when player moves to the middle of the background and moves further in a direction, the background moves in the opposite direction, instead of the character. However, this mechanism is doable, but saw significant flickers of the moving background, possibly due to the transform function I used. I struggled with finding the solution to it, so I decided to rollback to version 0.5, and I will try again about this later because it does improve visuals if without the flickers.I did make some real change though. I remove the mechanism that when character goes close to the edge of the back ground, a black block shows in front of the character, instead I made a black frame that always shows in front of anything, with a transparent middleground.…

- DEVLOG #5 - 8 May 2026
Hi all!It has been a busy week for me. So, nothing much I have done for the next update at the point, but I still want to describle how the next update will hopefully look like:Firstly, a bank will open near the clothes shop. The purpose of storing your money in the bank is you get interests every day, at an insane rate. So if you managed to get a decent amount of money, don't forget to put it in the bank!Next would be no visual reference. I'm planning to introduce work #2, which is a chef job, you are going to make the ordered meal by customers, and you get paid more than the first job after each time you finish the job.The lottery game is still a bit unbalanced. Will fix later with higher prize but consumes your hunger, thirst and sleep values every time.
