I'm glad to announce that feature programming has finally finished! This means that all planned features for the Beta-Release are there now! However there is still a lot of bugs and testing needed as well as code improvements which will be done trough the next phase which will start now:

Content Creation: From now on the development of Pixpet focuses on the creation of content. Mainly the creation of all the graphics and definition of Pixpets, Items, Plants/Pumpkins, Houses and some more game graphics.

I know you all ask for a Beta-Release date! It basically depends on how much game content should be available for the beta. I estimate about 2-3 months from now to create enough content to make a playable Beta-Experience possible.

If you want to support further development please consider supporting our Patreon if not doing already. Thank you!

If you were on Dragonadopters you maybe remember the pumpkins. They are back for Pixpet!

As plants (see previous news), pumpkins can be grown too! They have a fixed slot in your garden. The amount of pumpkin slots depends on the size of your house/garden(s). In this case, only one garden slot is present.

The growing system is similar to the one of the plants. However, pumpkins grow much faster and therefore need more water. Also pumpkins do not regrow after a harvest! It's also possible to harvest the plant at different stages. As illustrated in the image, you can also harvest a pumpkin flower for example. The amount of fruits is random, but can be increased with fertilizer.

Pumpkin flowers and fruits are ingredients for potions. So don't miss harvesting your pumpkins at the right time, depending on the potion you want to brew!

Full grown pumpkins can also be turned into pixpet food! Even if you forget to water them and the grade plummets to 0, it will still make for a reasonable amount of food for your pets. Pixpets will need food in order to go on hoards.

Pixpet will feature two "gardening" systems. One where you care for plants in containers (like a plant pot) and one where you care for pumpkins in your actual garden. This news is about the plant container system.

Plants can give you valuable resources to brew potions, which in return help your Pixpets find new items on their hoards. Especially if the plants have a high grade! The higher the grade, the better your potions will become!

In order to plant seeds, you first need a plant container. It can be obtained on the item market or be found by a pixpet on one of its hoards. Once you placed an empty plant container around your house, a plant slot appears.

Now you are able to fertilize your slot and plant some seeds. There will be (as planned for now) 4 fertilizers available coming in 2 different strengths:

• Growth Fertilizer: Increases plant growth by 5% or 10%


• Grade Fertilizer: Increases plant grade by 10% or 20%


• Reduce Watering Interval: 25% or 50% less watering


• Double/Tripple Harvest: For the first 3 harvests

Fertilizers can be found by pixpets or obtained on the market and are not cumulative, so choose wisely! Water your plant carefully and don't let it dry out or the plants grade will sink to 0 and it will ultimately die. Once the plant reaches its full grown stage, you can harvest it and it will regrow again over time!

There will be many different kinds of plant containers for decoration purposes. So they will not only decorate your home but also serve as valuable resource for your pixpets!
