Hello! ːsteamhappyː

This week, we continue tweaking the beta update with the autosmelters and fluid production units to balance gameplay and the economy (Another beta update will hopefully arrive this weekend).We're also working on adding a few more units that have been requested.

The 0.30 update will likely remain in beta for a couple more weeks as we fine-tune everything and add all the production units. Massive thanks to everyone who has joined the beta and provided feedback, it really helps us balance the game for multiple playstyles!

Some other additions to the beta include the new metal analyser, a basic hand tool that helps you identify different ores and materials in the ground. This should be a great way to surface prospect. The drill is still needed for medium-depth prospecting.

The new metal analyser

The new fluid tank, at the moment the tank only acts as a buffer for the pumps. but it will have multiple uses in future patches.

How to join the beta

1. Right-click on "Out of Ore" in your Steam library and select Properties.

2. In the Properties menu, click on Betas from the left sidebar.

3. Select "beta - Latest beta for players" from the dropdown list.

4. The beta should begin downloading automatically.

Features in develpment! ːsteamhappyː

Any Inquisitor worth their salt knows that picking a fighting style and sticking to it is the best way to achieve their objectives in the harsh landscape of Faelduum. 

There are six playable Classes in Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree: Vanguard, Flameweaver, Spellbinder, Nightshade, Wyldwarden, and Vindicator. 

Each Class boasts its own Talent Tree, where you can pick Talents that bolster your abilities and prowess in battle, from Crimson City to Feralwood. 

Vanguards are melee specialists who specialize in heavy armor, strong and brutal attacks, and high survivability. Equip heavy weapons and shields to make the most of this robust Class as  you cut down fearsome foes.

For Fans Of: Cutting down enemies and asking questions later.

Top Tip: Equip a good two-handed weapon early to make fights easier.

Flameweavers possess mastery over fire and one-handed weapons, combining melee with ranged spellcasting. Take on monsters as a battle mage with high mana, and set the Crimson City ablaze. 

For Fans Of: Pyromania.

Top Tip: No need to get too close—ranged fire attacks are deadly enough.

Spelbinders wield dark magic and use Relics to tap into new and devastating Spells. While not as hardy as Vanguards (they have the lowest health of any Class), this powerful caster Class relies on their high mana pool.

For Fans Of: Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

Top Tip: Remember to refill Health Flasks to cancel out low HP.

Stick to the shadows as a Nightshade, executing swift eliminations with poison and dual-wield daggers. This assassin Class uses cunning, stealth, and the element of surprise to inflict maximum damage.

For Fans Of: Hemlock tea.

Top Tip: Make use of teleporting to avoid sticky situations.

Natural forces beckon the Wyldwardens. This druidic Class uses wild abilities to strike down their foes, taking advantage of environmental powers like lightning to defeat targets. Wyldwarden can also summon spirits for help in a bind.

For Fans Of: Tornado-chasing.

Top Tip: Root targets in place to deal mass crowd control damage.

Finally, the Vindicator Class is ideal for budding paladins who want to balance melee and magic. Combine strong melee attacks and supportive spells to smite enemies with weapons and curses.

For Fans Of: Having your cake and eating it too.

Top Tip: This hybrid style means hybrid attacks—use both to defeat tough foes.

Hello, hope you guys are doing well! This update of Pixelpart is packed with new features!

This exiting new feature offers a way to make your effects react to events that happen in your game. For example, suppose you are creating a visual effect for a sci-fi laser weapon that has two stages: A "charging" stage that is active when the user holds down the mouse button and a "fire" stage that is activated by releasing the button. You can model this with triggers inside Pixelpart: The emission of the particles of the second stage is only done when a trigger is activated.

You can use the new Triggers window to define triggers:

These can then be set as the start or stop trigger of particle emitters, force fields etc. A particle emitter only starts emitting particles after its start trigger is activated:

Then you can use the scripting API of Pixelpart in Unity or Godot to activate the trigger. For example, in Unity you can do so by calling effect.ActivateTrigger("Fire").

The node and object system in Pixelpart has been completely overhauled for improved clarity and flexibility. The object browser now features two distinct lists: one for scene nodes (such as particle emitters, force fields, and more) and another for particle types.

Nodes now form a fully functional scene graph, with each node supporting translation, rotation, and scale relative to its parent—enabling more precise and hierarchical control over scene elements.

Assigning particle types to emitters is easy: Simply drag a particle type from the bottom list and drop it onto a particle emitter in the top list:

If you ever need to convert a large number of effect files to the newest Pixelpart version, this new little tool has you covered. It can be opened from the File menu by selecting Convert effects....

This updates adds a new Bézier interpolation mode for keyframe animation, which allows you to control animations more precisely.

• When importing an image, there is a new option to specify whether the image is in sRGB or linear color space.

• You can now hide and show particles by clicking on the eye icon next to particle types in the object browser.

• Different types of force fields, colliders and light sources can now be converted to one another in the context menu of each node (right-click on node in object browser).

• Improved mesh import dialog.

• Fixed bug where adding an effect to another would fail to import effect inputs.

• Improved existing effect presets.

• Added 1 effect preset.

As always, the Unity and Godot plugins have been updated to the latest version. You can download them at https://pixelpart.net/plugins/.

Important: Before using the new plugins, ensure that all your effects are updated to the latest version—using the conversion tool, for example.

Key changes:

• Effects now include a warm-up time property, allowing them to initialize before rendering begins. This is especially useful for effects that require a startup phase.

• A new effect scale property has been introduced to apply a global scale to the entire effect. This replaces the older scale property on the asset/resource level.

• Fixed an issue where effects played at reduced speed would appear jerky.

• (Unity) The Unity plugin now uses a different system for importing effect assets. Previously, .ppfx files were converted to .asset files by the plugin before they could be used as effect assets. This step is no longer necessary - .ppfx file can now be used directly.

• (Godot) The Godot plugin now requires Godot 4.3 or higher!

• (Godot) The PixelpartEffect node now supports layer masks, the PixelpartEffect2D node supports visibility layers.

Hello, ranchers! 🧑🏻‍🌾

We’re back with a new update that gives you more flexibility in how you manage your farm, store, and workers. These additions are all about letting you play your way, streamline your workflow, and fine-tune your experience. Thanks to your valuable feedback through the in-app system and Steam Discussion forums, we’ve been able to implement several improvements and adjustments in this patch. Before we dive into the details, a quick reminder: our 20% launch discount is still active as part of the Steam Summer Sale, so grab it fast before the launch discount ended.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s new:

You can now work side-by-side with your employees. Whether you’re harvesting crops from planter boxes, restocking shelves, or taking care of animal pens, your staff can assist without interrupting your actions. This makes multitasking smoother and improves overall productivity on your farm.

Need full control over specific shelves? You can now mark any commodity shelf as “Only Player Can Access”, which prevents employees from interacting with them. This is perfect for shelves that require special attention or limited-edition items you don’t want restocked automatically.

We’ve introduced a Playstyle Setup system that allows players to fine-tune various gameplay parameters to better match their personal preferences. You can now adjust how fast in-game days pass, how quickly crops and livestock grow, and how often wild animals appear on your farm.

This feature was added in response to the wide range of player preferences we’ve observed. While some players enjoy a faster-paced experience, others prefer a more realistic, slower rhythm that mimics real-life farming. With this system, you’re free to tailor the game to suit the pace and style you enjoy most.

Please note: the Wild Animal Frequency setting has been moved from the general settings into this new Playstyle Setup. If you’ve previously customized this setting, your preferences will be automatically transferred, so you don’t need to reconfigure anything.

As always, if you enjoy the game we’d be grateful if you leaving a review, and don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts or suggestions in the Discussions section.

Happy playing! 🐄🐓

1. NPC Voice Lines Added, they will speak during various in-game situations.
2. Enhanced dismemberment system: severed limbs can now be further cut.
3. Added blood spurting effects when limbs are severed for a more realistic experience.
4. Mod system improvement, supports more weapon mods.
5. Added some new music from Metanoiz.

newly added:
·A full screen switch button has been added in the settings, allowing you to switch between windowing and full screen. When windowing, dragging the border can adjust the size of the game window.

Change:
·Slightly adjust the attack distance of the archer. The range reduction during the previous modification was too much, resulting in the inability to hit the orc wizard. 😫）
·Builders and villagers are smarter: when night falls, if they are still outside the city walls, they will run back instead of walking slowly as before.

We're only 2 short weeks away from the launch of RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business and we hope you've excited to take on the OmniTower in this action packed standalone on July 17th. Part of the joy of working on a RoboCop game is creating what feels like a playable movie; with all the satire, one-liners, and the over-the-top violence that you would expect.

It also lets us expand on the universe, adding to the overall world, exploring new themes, and discovering Old Detroit in greater detail than ever before. You are RoboCop, moments of downtime and investigation blended with high-octane shootouts where you showcase the power at your fingertips.

For Unfinished Business, we've upped the ante, dialling in on that intensity with powerful finisher moves, new weapons, and a no holds barred story that will have you play as RoboCop, Alex Murphy (back when he was still a beat cop, ED-209) and more.

Watch our Overview Trailer for the full breakdown!

• Classic Police Outfit (when playing as Alex Murphy)

• Frosted Armor (when playing as RoboCop)

• Cryo Cannon Scarlet (should be obvious what this one is for)

See you on the beat in Old Detroit on July 17th!

Step into a twisted amusement park where rogue AI mascots turn fun into fear.
