Day of Pixel
Big News!
First i noticed some sounds dont play right that sucks alot I thought that was past us but game dev is surprising.
Combat is almost working properly for the top down
Oh oh and the biggest part Roaming AI yes you heard me the animals and npcs are now roaming and talking! what that means is a small bug that you cant milk the cow i know what caused it i just need to fix it
The main features are pretty done and now its to bug fix and iron things out and connect everything.
Expand the map and town numbers and then add some mini games like poker and fishing stuff like that to make the world real and have the sink into it and forget time Feeling
Christmas has speed alot of time at work so i apologize the dev has not been super fast. Also being one guy doing the art, sound, music, animation, planning, and coding it gets a little rough sometimes.
I would like to thank the wish listers and the thousands of you who played the demo well lets be honest more like a tech demo but eh its better than waiting over three years with no demo am i right? We know what Im talking about.
I am making not a game but an experience without shitty pay walls and Twenty dollar Dlc to clasp on your wallet for "Play Time" I am going old school like the old game magazine days. Game came out no day one patch needed just pay it, download it, and play it. Any map additions like other states and stuff will be free no charge and I have a lot planned.
Please continue to talk and and spread the word about this!

Marry Christmas and Hanukkah and all others celebrated around this great time of togetherness
Got that update...the sound update!!
Amazing news though i got the sound working! foot steps and i think the others should be working i think..maybe.
Alsooo youll notice two things that seem small but are very important right now.
You man click and drag the tomato and Wheat seed pack and youll see the tomato is working and no crashes!! Witch means the farming is getting better with no crashing at all. The second thing youll notice when you plob down is a little slime friend that will follow a certain distance. This serves alot of purpose from AI to the companion system Hence why Salem the cat it hanging around.
Also i know the dialog doesn't flow as its a set up to difference the normal npc versus important figures in the world that will have scrolling and more dialog.
oh and one last thing map wise that is off limits as of know
Mexico Was Expanded around 40 %
Texas is now bigger by 30%
New Mexico is bigger by around 15 ish
atm im waiting for the maps to be done and feature complete
I apologize as this sickness came out of no where and set me back about a week.
we will prevail!
Games for gamers.. Always!

oh and delete and re download it will work better
next is combat and saving and goodies!!
Update shmupdate
Been slumped at work and I got a quick update on what is going on.
Farming is still crashing so that is on the back burner cause i want it to work a certain way.
That being said I will now connect the states and mexico into one map and test the performance
Top down enemies are following and losing track of you.
I will work on the map and combat and hopefully get the sound to work i will also have a sound for Dialog but not just *meeps* like other games but voice acting wouldnt really work for this game so it will be a unique sound.
Thats sorta it. I apologize for no news and i know people will think a game is dead if left not talked about or updated
Thank you for the wishlist explosion btw it really makes me as a one man team and gamer since the gameboy days dance in happiness.
If any of you know the old days of video games i am doing it that way. Once the game is out it will not have game breaking bull, causing those dreadful "Day One Patches"
i think its a shame with how far gaming dev has just plopped itself into a massive "it will be in the game soon" and then announces a new game in the works a year later. People spend money and time on a product and dont want it thrown out so fast. If that was the case We would be in the food service not game service.
I have ideas for more content and DLC witch i will keep free as much as possible. I mean come on you spend what 20-60 dollars just to cough up 40 dollars for content that is easily put into the game but separated by code to unlock those files.
Thats all right now. Back to Empanadas and Tacos while dev mode chugs.
Again thank you for letting my crazy dream become reality.

Got a Huge Update coming in and ill just pop down the info for ya cowboy!
Let there be sound!! I know its a big part of well anything but i kept having a delay with walking and also it sounded like a machine gun lol, Talking sounds are playing after you walk away and the gun sounds are being funny. That will be part of the update but there will be more!
Better combat and also more enemies will be about along with death and health for the player
Farming. Farming sorta works right now but not what I want for the game. In my Game you can farm anywhere you want. You will not be stuck in a zone that lets you only do certain things, to me that is not freedom. Crafting is also being worked and depending how far i get ill add it into the demo as well.
Sorry its taken a bit to at least hear from me. Working full time and developing while being in the IFBB is a lot to take on in one day.
Oh I am working on Fishing as well with rare spawns of fish and animals. A shrimp with a Sombrero!!! and maybe the Great White Buffalo will be there to capture, kill, or take in the sight and let him roam!
Animals are going to have mechanics that are not done in other games and will be funny just wait.
All in all we are making steam and would like to show you that we are on the horizon and about to hit the home stretch with a video game that brings you back to the immersive fun experience that games need to be.
Also another reason this takes so long, I do not believe releasing a game broken. I have done really well with testing on multiple computers and different monitors that lets me beat the bugs into non existence.
The only major bug I had to fix Performance was a memory leak that im pretty sure was fixed.
If you ever find anything wrong leave it in the discussions or any questions and I will answer as fast as i can.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend whatever it is that you are playing.

Major Bug Fix Incoming!!
I left a few Platforms to gapped total mistake that some how did not register with my play tests.
Later today I will be dropping the patch and seeing if maybe I can squeeze in a few good surprises in the update!
As we are getting closer to Halloween I am scrambling to get it out by then or before christmas so i am crunching myself very heavily and I am running out of Empanadas here!
Also I will be Dropping a special video talking about a wider vision as well as other things.
Keep up the good rootin shootin, my Little Banditos and soon we will have a game that has so many opportunities for different play styles

Do you like Updates?!
I also have crafting underway and all that and will work on mini games soon. This is the last stretch until I can smack yall with a huge update.
Also its Steam Next Fest! Please feel the need to spread the word about the one man mission being pulled off to bring back nostalgic fun with the power passion and gameplay.
I want to say thank you for the reviews and feed back
I cant speak toooo much about the next big update but if goes well lets say farming will be very different!
Thank you all!
Games for Gamerrrrsssss, Always!

Interacting and Dialog is Here!!
We are now able to eat tacos, Enchiladas and Drink Beer! You can Milk the Strawberry and Chocolate Cows and get the appropriate Milk! Oh and a little Piggy is in Texas and you he gives Bacon!!!!
Also You'll Find a Surprise in Texas and The Underworld while they are not fully animated you'll be happy to see what I have added in! Not only that there is a huge face lift to the vegetation and some of the art work to the game while also finishing the Box for Dialog to look more retro western style!
Right now this is for Immersion purposes as I finish up the food and health system and implement the Butchers in each town!
This has been hard work getting done and now off to the last final major mechanics and boom implementation! Also I have about five different Enemies with variations not including Bandits and gangs!
Steam next Fest is around the corner so pass the word about this game and wish list!
Now it might be a little bit till their is another update as now I am chunking on the last major parts. After that I can start Expanding the worlds and connecting them without loading and teleporting.
Thank you so much its been almost Two years of hard work by myself from the art to the music and all.
I chose to stick with old school graphics for the nostalgic purpose and come on it is very adorable. Also to develop like the old Ps2 days where when the game Releases its fully ready with free additions Being Planned.
So Thats seems to be it, I suggest to delete files and reinstall to get the game fully updated!
If you find anything major please let me know the one bug I know of is one Npc wont Talk lol
also my Sounds will only play after you stop walking and such so its gonna be a little more I am very sorry for that I know its Odd as i Think the same

Do you Like Tacos...Milk and enchaladas?!
Hello CowBoys its Blake to give you a tease at the major update coming soon to DAY OF PIXEL!
Interactables are now set up as food, drinks like Beer and Milk and tacos and Empanadas!!!
Farming is also being worked on and getting close to the functioning of packable crops as well as crafting is being implemented to enhance the gameplay and Immersion!
The picture you see is that farm house in Texas. I will either have it as a starting option or a purchasable farm house. Depends on what I get working first and if I feel like it plays good and feels like a good option!
So This is a little tease on whats being worked on and I am getting close to a finished demo!
Thank you my Banditos as I am chugging closer and closer
Games for gamerrrss always!!!

Howdy *Spits in spitoon*
Update is going along perfectly not only do i have vegetation done for the undead world I have also finished and added the cantina in the Underworld that you can go in and hang around. Moving platforms are being introduced and that is why youll see those colorful squares, atm they are not moving its more about getting them up and down to left and right and all sorts of random movements.
Water is being added but seeing how it is in the underworld I have options such as acidic, Fire and normal just to make more natural hazards. Introducing a few new enemies in the upcoming update and all I can say for a peek is Undead Conquistadors of variations, and added some enemies in the Top down world.
Cows are interactable and you can milk them and I am also setting up Doors to be Pushed to teleport not just walking into it. That way you can hang out on the porch of your Cantina and just immerse yourself into this fantastic World.
I know its been a week since I pushed an update but this is actually coming along to being a massive update from Interacting with the world including drinking Beer on the Bar stands! Better movements for the slimes making them more like slimes and getting quest npcs and Bandits worked on as I want a reputation or something along those lines with gangs.
I'm going to ask one favor, please spread the word about this game. I can see that Thousands have looked and a great amount of those have whish listed witch brings a Gamer tear to my eye (I didn't think I would get so much notice) I really set out to make a game that not only last through time but leaves you feeling like you got everything yet there is always more to do, because that is what matters in a game is leaving you satisfied but knowing you can play again and again and experience something new or the same it is your choice.
I grew up playing the 64 and PlayStation when it came out and back then when games released they were finished no bugs and a full packaged experience that made you look at the case and instantly fire up the console or pc again.
That is my vision, a full course meal served in one sitting for you to choose not to wait for some DLC to drop and flatten your wallet for Bugs and crashes.
So once more, Spread the Word! Let people know of this game and tell them there is a game that cares.
Things are a little slow because of work and I compete in bodybuilding. Love you all my Banditos
