Unless there's anything else that's broken this could be our final patch before we totally move to porting to Nintendo Switch / Switch 2.

- Update v1.16 - 7 February 2025
Happy one year anniversary since the launch of Pixel Noir! It's patch time again...! - Backend Checkpoint Feature Added! When the player enters a new scene, it will save a checkpoint. A checkpoint can be used multiple times no matter how many times you leave and come back into a scene. However, if upon entering a scene, a event immediately triggers, it won't save a checkpoint, but instead use the previous scene as a checkpoint. When the player gets a game over, the game will start over from the checkpoint instead of loading from the last save point. A checkpoint is not a save. If you quit or close the game, you will have to load from your load data. You won't be able to manually load a checkpoint from the load menu. - Shade has a new summon! It's called Temptation's Rage which damages an enemy and can cause Enrage and Confusion status effects. - Fix to characters walking in place in eve…

- Update v1.15.2 - 21 January 2025

- Update v1.15 - 27 December 2024
A very big long awaited patch has been released!?!? -GTFO....!!! Let's get into it! - Pathfinding has been totally overhauled! We stripped out the old system and implemented a new one which will end the issues with any studdering, delays or freezing. This also optimizes all walk paths / cycles characters inside / outside of event cinematics. Also resulting in better ladder climbing to account for this new pathfinding system AND any issues with rooftops causing freezes or weird glitches with the layering of objects in a scene. - Enemy downed response / get up time has been adjusted to a 30 seconds instead of anything lower than 15 seconds before this patch. Along with that, once you've defeated enemies that popped out from behind buildings or walls, they will now wait to respawn before popping out again when the player leaves a room and comes back before popping out again. - Optimized lo…

ANNNOOOOTHER UPDATE!!!! We Fixed::: - After police station events in Ch7 de-spawn old event cinematic- players could repeat these events from Docks which can cause freezing. - Locked door to apt where Odd Couple case ends because players could repeat closing out the case. - Detached party members at Phil / intro to CRDTech cinematics in Junkyard - More events and scene colliders that result in soft-freezing due to a character not being able to get to their walking destinations. (ie: Boardwalk Black market guy running into building) - Added inventory check for 99 candy bars in lauroundtwo ch2 cinematic. Taking into account New Game + inventory - Statsheet edits for many higher level enemies. Still to fix.... - Sometimes after parade events in ch7 going into Uptown will freeze on black screen (team is still trying to reproduce the issue) - In rare instances battles can softfreeze for unkn…

Wait, what- another update!? WHAAAA!?!? We Fixed::: - A few events where character circle colliders may cause walk path soft freezing. - V-money as guest party member in late ch6 freezes battle if she dies. - Enemy encounter rates. Some players had complained that enemies appear too often so we made the likelihood an enemy will not appear after spawning into a scene 20%-40% vs 20% and below before this patch. This edit has been applied to every appropriate scene except the Sewers. - Skill point notification window glitch. - Added Controller Map help to Walking Encyclopedia NPC. - More typos! Still to fix.... - CRDTech cards changing attributes every time the mini-game loads - the further someone is in the game the longer the game loads (ie: in new game +) - Sometimes after parade events in ch7 going into Uptown will freeze on black screen (team is still trying to reproduce the issue) As…

- Update v1.10 - 23 April 2024
The 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…
- v1.9.3 - 11 April 2024
A small one before our next big one. There were players having an issue specific to the White Tiger Little Shanghai alley fight in ch3 that lead to the White tiger confrontation in the Junkyard. Choosing 'Handing over the reigns' would lead you to the Junkyard where the White Tigers weren't there. We made that small fix here! Enjoy!! 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. It's fun, it's interesting and it's helpful to us having you the players contribute to the QA process!
- Update v1.9 - 4 April 2024
Hey, Look! another update!!! We Fixed::: - 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.

- Update 1.7 - 15 March 2024
In comes Spring which means you get 10% off (if you're buying the game for the first time) and a hefty update! 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 th…
- Update v1.6 - 9 March 2024
The update you've all been waiting for has arrived! 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.

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…
