What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The goal with Pixacrea: Adventure's Early Access to is to provide our community the ability to help build and develop the game prior to launch by getting it early, and allowing them to voice their concerns, features they'd like to see, and what we should focus on when it comes to the main features of the game. Early access is also a great way to work on the game, release larger features and get instant feedback from those wishing to help provide feedback to guide the game to it's finished form.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I do not have a current target date, however if I had to choose I'd say 2-3 years. I am a solo developer who will be working on this as his full time job so I believe I can get enough done in a timely manner to release frequent updates, changes, etc. however the game I envision making should take around 2-3 years in more realistic standards.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to have the full version of the game have every single feature not just added, but fully polished, as well as having all goals set for the game. Early access will be planned to be built in stages, and each stage will be planned to have several releases in it. Upon the full version, we plan to have the entire game be finished, and the only updates post full version will be updates for any bugs we may or may not have, as well as the possibility of small item updates to the game/holiday events. The goals for Early Access will be Pre-Alpha up to 1.0, upon the 1.0 release we will officially be in the Alpha release, then Beta, and finally the finished product.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current stage of the Early Access is Pre-Alpha, the game-play is enough to showcase the overall features/bones of the game. The core features are there, they are not fully fleshed out/polished, and is being worked on that towards the Alpha update. The current features we have are: Farming, Woodcutting, Crafting, Building, Mining, Roaming Pixacrea, and some of the main story are in the game currently.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Pre-Alpha will be significantly cheaper than the release, Alpha will go up to from the Pre-Alpha, Beta will be even higher, while staying cheaper than the full release, and the full game will launch as at the highest price. So for those who are wanting to, and are willing to help us out during the most important parts of game development we wish to reward you in several ways, and one of the ways is allowing the product to be cheaper than on launch!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be extremely active on our Guilded Server, having polls on what features you all would like to see first, a forum section in which you can provide valuable feedback, constructive criticism, as well as just anger posts if something happens that truly grinds your gears. We will be looking at all of these to see what should be focused on first. The community will be one of the largest parts of the developing the game as we want the community to shape the features we have in the game, as well as what we prioritize in the development of the game as a whole.”

About This Game

Pixacrea is a retro-inspired adventure RPG with a fresh twist on the monster-taming genre. Unlike most creature-collecting games, losing has real consequences—if you’re defeated in battle, you lose your Battler's License. Without it, you can no longer participate as a Pixa Battler, forcing you into a mundane life with an ordinary job (Also known as the Game-Over Screen). This system keeps society running; after all, if everyone pursued battling, who would clean, cook, or make deliveries?

You'll explore a pixel-art world brimming with possibilities—crafting, farming, battling, and making choices that shape your journey. Your decisions matter, from something as small as no longer being able to receive a free fishing rod to something as massive as wiping an entire city off the map. Actions can have permanent consequences, closing off quests and shaping how the world perceives you, or even causing a Legendary Pixacrea to show up in the midst of it all.

At the heart of Pixacrea’s story lies Team Anarchy, a rogue faction trying to hack the Deck System—the very system that grants Battler’s Licenses. Their goal? To bend the rules, seize control, and reshape the world in their image. It's up to you and your adorable yet powerful Pixa companions to stop them before it's too late.

Lighthearted yet impactful, Pixacrea is packed with references and secrets for the sharp-eyed player. From subtle nods to classic games and anime to hidden mechanics waiting to be uncovered, there’s always something new to discover.

Are you ready to take on the Pixa League, face Team Anarchy, and carve out your own path in a world where every battle could be your last?

Welcome to Pixacrea, the ultimate retro-inspired monster-taming RPG where every choice matters, every battle has real stakes, and your journey is truly your own. Unlike traditional creature-collecting games, losing isn’t just a setback—it’s game over. If you lose a battle, you lose your Battler’s License, and without it, your dream of being a legendary Pixa Battler is over. No retries. No second chances. Just a normal life with a normal job… unless you fight to stay at the top.

Stop Team Anarchy Before They Break the System

The game is also very serious, and absolutely has ZERO references to anything else, nor does it have any Easter Eggs, whatsoever.
