Well guys, we finally were able to finish the hierarchy tree and add the library (Structure picked by you guys a few months back) to the game, as well as some other interface improvements, new types of trees.
So far we've handpicked 15 people to beta test Pixel Survivors and receive some extra features in game.
If you would like to apply, we will take another 15 batch in the upcoming weeks.
Contact us to: patagoniartgs@gmail.com
Without futher to say, here is the first Beta Build available in Early Access:
Improved the GUI.
Added new structure: The Library.
Added new trees: Willow tree and Birch tree. (Learning required)
Added small interaction buttons with buildings on right click.
Added books to be learned in the library. These learned books will allow the creation of new structures and improvements to the village (Upgrade system)
Boats will only be created if there is a dock constructed.
The mana regain was lowered.
Bug fixed: Plants not being harvested when food at max capacity.
Library system:
25 books are now available for learning. This learning curve will grant access to new structures, efficiency and improvements for the village.
Until the next patch the only cost of the books will be the time it takes to learn them. So you guys can get familiarized with the system.
Book Genres:
Agriculture
Arborism
Architecture
Blacksmithing
Defensive Skills
Offensive Skills
Fishing
Ocultism
Storage
You fellows will have to find out by your own the effect each book has in game. :camper:
Hope you guys enjoy it!

What's changed?:

UPDATE 0.66.3 - MORE ACHIEVEMENTS!
Well guys, we've been working hard on the new LIBRARY, but it is not done yet, it will be the biggest update we've ever done, so you'll need to give us a bit more time. We are still working on the hierarchy tree for the upgrades. In the mean time we fixed some bugs of the 0.65 Build and added 18 new achievements and corrected some things that needed change:
0.66
Bug Fixed: Easy and hard mode loads will work like a charm now.
Changes were made to the drops of fields near windmills, will no longer double the seed drop, only the food.

Well guys, on our last dev meeting we've decided to include you guys a bit more into the development process. We will make polls from time to time, so you guys can decide what the next update will add to the game.
This week poll will be: "What structure should be added the next patch?"
What structure should be added to Pixel Survivors?
Library - Will improve the upgrade system a lot.
Brewery - Will allow the villagers to get drunk, and work harder
New Crops - More crops, with different drops and new products.
The poll will be running until friday, and we'll start to work from there.

UPDATE 0.65.3 - ROOT CELLARS!
Well guys, it has been a long working couple of weeks, but we've finally finished the 0.65 Patch. We've changed plenty of stuff for the mid/late game as well as some new additions and menues re-organization:
0.65
Bug Fixed: Loading easy or hard difficulty will save the current initial storage capacity.
Bug Fixed: Chicken pens butchering without tools.
Bug Fixed: Villagers getting stuck colliding with carts and barns when carrying chickens to the pens.
New mining system. Will balance a bit more the mid/late game.
Reorganized the menues, now we've got plenty of room for the upcoming new structures!
Added spoilage to perishible resources.
New structure: The root cellar. This building works pretty much like a barn.
Villager will be able to use root cellars to preserve perishible resources. They will use barns if the root cellars capacity is full, but those resources will spoil over time.
Added double pathfinding to villagers. If they are carrying resources that belong in different storages, they will do one first, and then the other.
0.65.3
Typo in the pathfinding code, preventing the female villagers from being able to get new tasks.
Villagers not picking up stone after mining it directly.
Swapped correctly the display for the new root cellar capacity between the fabric and the herbs.
Herb fields and bait farms not showing after building them.
We will talk more about the future patch in saturday's Twitch Stream.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

DEMO + NEW LOGO + HORROR GAME!
Well guys, this is a quick up to date report:
We managed to get a Demo Version of Pixel Survivors in the store. That way the new players would not have to adventure into a game they don't know, and decide if they like it or not before purchasing the full version. That might help those who are not convinced with the trailer and reviews, but still want to give the game a try.
To do sthat simply click the "Download Demo" on the right side of the Store.

And finally, the grand reveal of the month, our new 3D horror project:
Gates Motel, a horror-puzzle game: You can find more about it at:
