The Casino has received a massive upgrade this update, with a new look, new games, and new prizes!

The Casino itself has been renovated with new floors and other art adjustments. A new Bingo room has been added and there is now a designated area for virtual horse racing at the back of the main Casino room.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for September 12th, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since September 6th, 2022. Note: Devs that don't appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn't need to be detailed.

We've created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.

We're continuing to fix various bugs identified during the public beta test.

macdguy continued working on bug fixes, fixing issues in Roulette where chips wouldn't clear, games issuing incorrect payouts, HUD optimizations, etc.

Sketchman continued working on bug fixes, working on fixing issues with the backend systems.


Lifeless started working on a new Little Crusaders map, Cardboard Castle.






Lifeless worked on level design changes for Virus: Hospital. There is now a broken window into the cafeteria area, a new route up to the upper floor near the reception area, and a new visual blocker for the long hallway.











Lifeless worked on level design changes for Virus: Subway. The ticket gates are now wider, with obvious indicators. Several areas of the map were cordoned off to make it smaller, and to prevent camping. There also is now visual blockers in one of the longer corridors.








macdguy fixed some issues with physics items. Physics items will now properly react to mud, ice, and water.

Nuclearxpotato worked on an adjustable curtain item.












Johanna worked on a bunch of optimizations in the Arcade, massively reducing the amount of drawcalls. This means that the game will be able to render everything on the screen much more quickly and efficiently, increasing performance in the arcade.

Wheezwer continued working on concept art for Plaza NPCs.

Will continued working on music for SDNL.

That about covers everything that happened since September 6th, 2022 at PixelTail Games.

Most of the work on Casino: Phase 2 has been completed. We're currently in the clean-up period, fixing some last minute bugs and conducting internal play tests. We plan on having a Public Beta Test for Casino: Phase 2 at some point in the future before the main release, so stay tuned on our Discord and Twitter for information.

macdguy continued fixing bugs that cropped up during internal playtests for Roulette, Bingo, Silver Saddles, and Blackjack. He also added physics to the Spin 2 Win paddle.

Sketchman worked on code fixes for the Roulette wheel.





Johanna worked on props for the map, as well as updating the hangar buildings.










Madmijk continued working on the condo instruments. He's ready to show off a new addition, a Drum Machine.

With the Drum Machine, you can make drum patterns with a maximum of 32 beats and 16 steps per beat. Pallets with multiple patterns in them can be created to program lengthy drum sessions.

It features a wide selection of instrument variations, volume and pitch control per instrument, step velocity control, swing timing, and the ability to mute/isolate instrument tracks.

As with the other instruments in the future, it will support MIDI input. The note-sound mapping in MIDI follows the General MIDI Drum map.

Unfortunately, the Drum Machine item will not be released with the Casino: Phase 2 update, and its spot on the new Spin 2 Win wheel has been replaced with a "Nightclub Item Pack". We plan on releasing the Drum Machine, along with the guitar item and MIDI support in a later update very soon.





macdguy worked on updating Metal Detector gameplay.

JJosh continued working on new Store NPC models, finishing the texture work on the Celebrations Store NPC.








JJosh started working on new Halloween items.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for August 8th, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since July 25th, 2022. Note: Devs that don't appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn't need to be detailed.

We've created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.

Work continues on the next phase of the Casino.

macdguy fixed several bugs with Roulette and Silver Saddles. He added 3D bet indicators to Silver Saddles for better tracking of horse bets. He also continued working on Bingo, making the final touches. The Spin 2 Win second wheel had its graphics finished and item reward code completed.

Will continued working on music and sounds for Silver Saddles.





Johanna continued working on the new Virus map, Corrosion. The sound pass has been completed and the map is getting the final stage of polish before release.










Johanna continued working on the art pass for the SDNL map, Frostbite.








Two new Media Player items will be added to a future update, a Catsack Head TV (found via Catsacks), and a Broken TV (found via Fishing).

Media Players now have new settings, allowing the player to change the saturation, turn on/off Scanlines, and adjust glare. The new TV items will have some of these settings on or off by default, but they're adjustable in the item settings.

Persistent Connections for Condo I/O is completed. Shown in previous developer logs, this feature allows the player to connect items together in unique ways. Unlike event based connections, such as a button press, persistent connections feed data directly into another item, such as the video output of the Security Camera into a Media Player.

Finally, we've revamped our internal item settings system to allow us to more easily add small settings to individual items with low impact to development time. For example, the additional settings added to the Trampoline below took less than 3 minutes to add. This new system will also help reduce bugs as they're automatically supported by the Copycat and Undo tools. Over time, we will be slowly porting over items to the new system.




















JJosh continued working on the Celebrations NPC.

Lifeless continued working on SDNL: Hinderance.

Madmijk continued working on condo instruments.

Sketchman started working on improvements to the AI system.

Nuclearxpotato continued working on Virus: Altar.

Wheezwer worked on concept art for the Fresh NPC.

Will continued working on music for SDNL.
