Still to fix.... - CRDTech cards changing attributes every time the mini-game loads - When you have the map toggled on then teleport to another scene, the map goes away, But if you talk to someone (any intractable) the map comes back As always if you have a bug you want to talk directly to the devs about please join our discord server and tell us about them.

We hope you are enjoying the game and will pick up these collections of awesome music!Update v1.10Apr 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe long wait is over for this patch! Here's what we got for ya... We Fixed::: - Some dungeon mechanics not carrying over from patch versioning. - Sometimes equipped weapons won't carry over to New Game + if the player character has a weapon equipped when completing the game (because of course you do!). The game was trying to read two weapons being equipped because of the auto beginner weapon equipped through cinematic command in the beginning of ch1. - If the player character dies against Tornado and then Woof revives him, he auto re-equips his weapon (gun) after fighting barehanded to begin with. - Edits to enemy encounters game wide- changed Delay Before Getting Up from 8sec to 15sec. Gives the player more time to get away from enemies in dazed states. - Combo between Shade Deuce and the player character making them stay in the combo's location and direction after it has ended making the rest of battle play out a little strangely. - Added "Required" learning note to yellow manuscript descriptions. This gives the player the prerec skill name in order to learn a yellow manuscript skill. - implemented ability to equip bullets from Main Menu / Gear-- not just by the Reload command while you're in battle. - Implemented page scrolling in selection menus using L1/R1 or R/P on keyboard. - Added SFX to saving data confirmation and deleting data. - NPCs pushing player in walk cycles. - Escalators in the mall acting funny- too fast or too slow or party can't get off. - Hugging walls slowing down character speed. - Various object layering glitches. - Typos! Still to fix.... - Can't collect certain trophies - CRDTech cards changing attributes every time the mini-game loads - When you have the map toggled on then teleport to another scene, the map goes away, But if you talk to someone (any intractable) the map comes back - The further someone is in the game the longer the game loads (ie: in new game +) As always if you have a bug you want to talk directly to the devs about please join our discord server and tell us about them.

BOOM!!!! We Fixed::: - More work has been done with versioning to make sure data is safe when patching. BUT there is still an issue around missing party members in the events at the end of the Armory yard events and the end of the Armory events before you fight the Shotmaker--- we are still trying to sort that out but it's got us baffled at the moment. - Enemies chasing you / pushing you into corners can cause soft-locks in rare instances. - In the Personal Demons case in Chs6-7 after leaving the Towers if you fight Lady Tempt at one of the places she's causing trouble. Then the battle ends and then you go to trigger the same fight again she won't show up causing a soft-lock in battle because she doesn't reappear in the scene. - Carrying 99 of an item and being able to break the 99 cap by getting a treasure in the game you already have 99 of.

Here's a list of things we've fixed and what we have been working on from that list of known bugs put out on Feb. 26th. We fixed---- - Save data from 1.5 and before once and for all!!! (...or so we hope we are still going to be testing and updating this.). Alot of time has gone into this one because since launch it's been the game's biggest issue. - Pathfinding has been optimized to use less RAM. This was causing the crashes and lagging the FPS for many players. - The various issues from the Shovel Knight arena have all been fixed! - Various freezes when enemy skills would occur. - Stat balancing with various enemies and their attacks. - A few typos. We are still working on--- - Enemies chasing you / pushing you into corners can cause soft-locks in rare instances. - In the Personal Demons case in Chs6-7 after leaving the Towers if you fight Lady Tempt at one of the places she's causing trouble. Then the battle ends and then you go to trigger the same fight again she won't show up causing a soft-lock in battle because she doesn't reappear in the scene. - Carrying 99 of an item and being able to break the 99 cap by getting a treasure in the game you already have 99 of.

As it's kinda slow going on the patches because we are a small team, we figure we would put out a known bug list out here so you players know what we are fixing and what to look out for. Later on this week when we put out another patch we will use this list to show you what we've fixed. - Save data from 1.5 and before will likely be bugged. But from 1.5.1 on there shouldn't be any issues with using data from this version on. You may run into events that repeat or NPCs reappear on rare occasions but nothing from stopping your progress like in earlier versions. We are still testing and making improvements to this. - Game FPS lags sometimes leading to crashes have been reported. This can likely happen due to not enough RAM for computers or lowered FPS settings on the Steam Deck. It's also because of how path-finding is calculating as you're moving through the game. - Enemies chasing you / pushing you into corners can cause soft-locks in rare instances. - In the Personal Demons case in Chs6-7 after leaving the Towers if you fight Lady Tempt at one of the places she's causing trouble. Then the battle ends and then you go to trigger the same fight again she won't show up causing a soft-lock in battle because she doesn't reappear in the scene. - In the Arena (run by the famous Shovel Knight) there can be matches where when you defeat a group of enemies they won't de-spawn from the scene as you go to the next match. This has been known to cause soft-locks in or after battles. - Carrying 99 of an item and being able to break the 99 cap by getting a treasure in the game you already have 99 of. This also causes weirdness in shops when trying to sell items over the cap. - Adding mods to weapons can sometimes give an incorrect stat result. - Mod icon can disappear from V-Money's knives when adding it to her weapon from the Upgrade menu in shops. - Sometimes equipped gear doesn't carry over to New Game + - In CRDTech mini-game very rarely when two abilities trigger it can soft lock the game. - PS5 controller icons show up as a generic controller icon. - There is a ladder in the Towers scene where you can hit a fall collider and ladder climb collider which can get characters stuck in the climbing position. This doesn't break the game because you can just move up to trigger the climbing collider again to fix the issue. - Some ladder's climbing speeds can be slower than others. - Hugging walls severely slows down character speed. - Paper / rolling can object's 3d audio immune to sound settings- Mute All or Sound Effects volume. - BGM volume can decrease if going in and out of interiors - BGM volume can increase while toggling investigation mode on and off repeatedly in certain areas. - When you have the map toggled on then teleport to another scene, the map goes away, But if you talk to someone (any intractable) the map comes back. - Coffee Break skill timed hit not working if healing another ally in battle. - When Detective dies against Tornado, an...Phat Games PodcastFeb 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsListen to SWDTech Games' Co-founder / Creative Director Len Stuart and Lead Programmer Leo Riveron's experience developing and launching Pixel Noir! https://youtu.be/Z28-a0BDbVMUpdate v1.5Feb 21, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, v1.5 build is finally live!!!! - Some layering issues have been fixed around the game. - Stomped out some typos. - An attempted fix make to some achievement markers not working. - Missing ATB heads for white squares. - Made it a little easier to win at the casino games. - Levels reverting -this shouldn't be happening anymore but if it is please let us know. - The chapter #s in the data menu when saving, you'll just need to load then save again and you'll see your chapter number. - And of course the most major thing that this update fixes (and the reason why we took so long to get this out) is the save versioning system!!!

However, please let us know if you reach a point in the story where you can't continue on and where that may be so we can fix it in the next update.Creative Director: Len Stuart's Interview On The Up-N-Up PodcastFeb 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsSWDTech Games' Creative Director Len Stuart talks about all things Pixel Noir with the guys from the Up-N-Up podcast!

Here's a list. - Reviving a character who has a status effect stopping on the ATB causing soft-freezing. - Running then dying in battle causing freezing or other weird effects. - Player showing as the younger version of the detective in ch3 with mostly grayed out main menu choices - Resolved issue with hit rate. You won't be missing all the time now! - Character gear and stat inconsistencies between saves and update versions. - Various layering issues. - Dialogue grammar issues. We also found a big problem with save data we will be trying to fix between today and tomorrow. We will be fixing that soon since that seems the most critical at the moment. A longer issue with frame rate to even crashing due to path finding calculations still remain but we are working on it. Man, just when you think things are problem free new problems crop up out of nowhere... Please believe we are doing our best to keep the game from doing these annoying things to you. Thanks to all the players helping us in reporting these bugs.Pixel Noir Update v1.01Feb 11, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, Len here again! We heard you and we fixed alot of the popular problems that you the players were running into in today's update. Here's a list... - Corrections made to spelling / grammar and punctuation use in dialogue game wide. - In Ch1 the branching dialogue while talking with the widow and Cold where if you choose fingerprints the dialogue results in a soft lock. - In Ch4 when you choose Deuce's Plan from the branching dialogue then going into another scene or going back to save data then reload resulting in no way to progress foreword in the game. - Rabble Rouser achievement has been removed from Junkyard random enemy encounter (players are supposed to get this in ch4 after the events on the subway train). - Sitting inmate in Ch2 cafeteria displays dialogue key instead of actual dialogue. - Fixed various layering issues in Historical District Past scene in Ch1 - Player character name input extended from 9 to 14 characters - You can now change the player characters name at any time in Ch3 onward by interacting with the computer in his apartment. There are still some outstanding issues we are still working on including frame rate skipping due to path-finding calculation, battle soft-locking, enemy stat balancing, hit rate, certain skill use not being accurate (ie coffee break), delays for item receive notifications, item cap 99 being exceeded, and more... Thanks to all the players leaving found bug threads in our Steam community forum and Discord. This makes our job so much easier to get you a better gaming experience. We are going to try to be more frequent with bug fixes and their announcements this week. Thanks for playing!Noir-influenced detective RPG 'Pixel Noir' is out nowFeb 9, 2024 - GamingOnLinuxNoir-influenced detective mystery RPG? Sounds thoroughly interesting! Pixel Noir has now left Early Access. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/02/noir-influenced-detective-rpg-pixel-noir-is-out-now Today's Full Launch Of Pixel Noir & Feature HighlightsFeb 8, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello all, I'm Len, the Creative Director behind Pixel Noir, and today is the day we finally put this full game out for everyone to enjoy! It's been a long road to get here, and I want to thank those who have supported our dream of a noir JRPG all these years! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! For this release, we concentrated on two things: that the game was as polished as possible and that we could do it justice in the marketing campaigns. This project was always a labor of love and high ambitions as we at SWDTech persevered through many hard years of development. For those who missed the discounted Kickstarter or Early Access price, the game is 20% off on Steam for its first week! Before we get into our patch notes, I want to emphasize that you should start the game with a fresh save. As I clarified in another thread on the subject, over the years, we made changes to give you features like New Game+ and highlighting dialogue choices from a previous playthrough to the New Game+. Your old save from Early Access may not work. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the polished content in those first few chapters! Much has changed over the years from Early Access and today's full release, so I'm not going to provide a complete list of technical back and front end-wise, but I will give you a highlighted list of features we've either fixed or added. - First, most of the bugs highlighted by our community have been fixed, including any freezes or soft locks posted in the community section. We even improved stability on Steam Deck and made the load times WAY shorter than during the Early Access days. - In Early Access, you had about half the game to playthrough, whereas now you have the full game AND the before-mentioned New Game +. There are multiple ways the story can go and end, making New Game + a fun way to go through the choices you didn't make in your first play-through. We even highlight your choices from your previous play-through, giving you a newer experience in your second go-around! - We added more items, gear, and skills of course! - Skill points are a rare commodity in the game as you only get them for completing cases. You can spend your skill points to upgrade skills and grant skills new strengths and bonuses. There is a set number of skill points in the game, so I advise spending your skill points wisely. - Entourage member's 2-way and 3-way combos have been fully fleshed out and are now the most powerful attacks in the game. - The CRDTech mini-game has been fully fleshed out! Many cards have unique abilities to help you take down your Pinnacle City rivals. You can even bet a set amount of cash on some of the matches you play! - Lots of sidequests have been added.Where can you find them? Well, some clients will call the detective randomly later in the game when he visits his apartment. And others you'll either bump into or have to hunt for yourself. There's a variety of them and some were even drafted by our Kickstarter backers! - More Black Mark...Update #77: MAGFest This Week & Full Release On February 8thJan 17, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsA Small But Important Update!
