Hello everybody,
To celebrate Halloween, I'm really pleased to announce a new update for Pictopix!
Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing well! I'm glad to announce that Pictopix has got a new update with some special features! The first one is the integration of Twitch. Let me introduce this new feature!
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all well and that you don't keep on dreaming about small squares… I've been working on a new update – I hope you'll like it. No new puzzles this time but I've added some new game modes: an Endless mode and a Challenges mode!
I'll tell you about them. ːishappyː
Hello everybody,
For this rather special day I wanted to build a rather special update for you!
On the face of it the update will look quite inoffensive but maybe when you play a puzzle I've added to the Workshop (theme "Machine" from Tomlab Games) something will happen! Some things might have changed in the game!
To give you a clue, this update involved quite a lot of texts... A big part of them have been translated in some languages, so I would like to thank the translators who have joined in. The task was not easy :ishappy:
With this event, a new achievement will be unlocked and a permanent option will be added to the game options (in the "Gameplay" Tab).
I hope you'll like this little surprise!
As usual some small corrections have been made. You'll find them here (version 1.2.4)
I'll take the opportunity to say that in version 1.2.3 which came out two weeks ago the game's ergonomics were improved. The Options window has been totally redesigned to be more user friendly. Above all, it is now possible to reconfigure the keys on the keyboard, the mouse and even the controller! In the same way, the keyboard shortcuts in the editor can also be modified.
Have fun and see you soon! :isheart:

It is with great pleasure that I present the Anniversary Update! Here's what you'll find in the new version of Pictopix:
Hello everyone,
Pictopix will soon be celebrating its first anniversary! The 5th of January 2018 to be exact. 2017 has been a good year for Pictopix. The game has been well received by the press and by the players. Thanks to your feedback, as the months went by, I was able to improve the game. What is more, you, the players, have created more than 1,000 puzzles in the Workshop!
I'm therefore greatly excited to announce a major update coming out on the 5th of January! There'll be new puzzles, new achievements and playing time more than doubled! There'll also be some surprises.
This update will be free and won't contain loot boxes! I promise!
I will put up some pictures of the update on the social networks so don't hesitate to follow Pictopix on Facebook or Twitter for example.
While waiting for the update, keep your eye on the Workshop! With Christmas coming, I may add some puzzles! Moreover, a Christmas update is available (version 1.1.20).
Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New year's! :isstar:
See you soon!

Hello everyone!
Here’s a small update a bit special…
For Halloween I've prepared a little surprise. It’s easy to take advantage of it – just go into the Workshop and play a puzzle in the Halloween theme. Don’t hesitate to use the search engine to find them quickly!
Once you’ve finished the puzzle… well… I'll leave you to find out what happens!
I've also created a new puzzle on this theme in the Workshop to mark the occasion. You’ll find others created by the players as well – I hope you'll like them!
There are several improvements and corrections in this update as well. You’ll find them in the changelog (version 1.1.19).

Hi everyone!
I’m really pleased to tell you that the number of puzzles created by the Pictopix community has now gone past the 1,000 mark! This target was reached on August 15th by Paduk. Blü has created a puzzle to commemorate the event. Thank you both and my thanks to all of you who contribute to the Workshop regularly: Misora, Rena, Korb3n, Ishtar, Cakoka, [CN]sunyatsen6, Hennihenner, Kethlak, Nupfi, Klaus Otto... There are certainly many more I have forgotten!
One thousand, that's a lot of puzzles. New players could be a bit lost. Don't hesitate to use the different sort options to play your favorite puzzles!
Hello everyone,
In this new update (version 1.1.16), I’ve concentrated mainly on improving the Pictopix Workshop. As you can see on the screenshot below, new sort options have been added to make it possible to sort the puzzles as you wish. If your friends play Pictopix you can now see their favorite puzzles or those which they have created.
In addition, if you follow other players on Steam you can now see their creations by clicking on “From followed authors”. In selecting “Friends’ Favorites” or “Friends’ Creations” you will also be able to sort the puzzles according to the date, the theme or the rating (for the moment this is not possible in other sort categories on the Steam API).
I’ve also added two buttons in the pop-up displaying the selected puzzle. These allow you to pass quickly from one puzzle to another without closing the pop-up window. Navigation is thus much easier. If you play using a controller or the keyboard you can use the LB and RB buttons to pass from one puzzle to another (Page Down and Page Up on the keyboard).
I know that some players complained about the length of the animation when a puzzle is solved. Following up a player’s suggestion (Thanks Sumire !) I’ve worked out a compromise solution. Now you just have to hold down the left button on the mouse to speed up the animation (a small image “Speed Up” will appear at the top of the screen). This also works with the space bar or the “A” button on the controller.
There are other modifications designed to improve playing comfort (see changelog). I hope you’ll appreciate them!
As I mentioned in other messages it is now easy to translate Pictopix into other languages. Should you wish to translate the game into your language, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me through the on-line contact form.
Once again, good gaming and see you soon! ːisveryhappyː

With this new update (version 1.1.12), Pictopix has been further enriched with yet more languages! This time it's Russian, Japanese and Turkish which have been added. I'd like to thank the Tolma4 team, Wasabim and Aydm Aslangören for their translations and their friendliness.
The game is now available in 9 different languages. Here's the full list up to date:
- English
- Czech
- French
- Hungarian
- Japanese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Simplified Chinese
- Turkish
Some small modifications have also been made. You can see the details here.
This news bulletin is also to let you know that Pictopix is now listed in the "Top Best Bestest Games Of 2017 So Far" at Rock, Paper, Shotgun! This is a proud day for me. I hope that you, the players, like the game too. I will try to continue to improve it in accordance with your wishes.
Thanks once again and "good gaming"! ːisveryhappyː

Hi everybody,
In this new update (version 1.1.11), the Workshop has been improved with the arrival of two new sort options: Sorting puzzles placed in your favorites and sorting puzzles by author.
In fact it is now possible to add puzzles to your favorites. It’s very easy. When a puzzle is finished you can click on the star to add it to your favorites. This is also possible from the Workshop. The option appears when clicking on a puzzle which is already solved.
On the image you will have noticed the little button "+" which appears next to the author's name. When you click on this the list of the puzzles created by this player will appear on screen.
This update brings with it a new language, the Hungarian. I'd very much like to thank Gőz Richárd (The_Reaper_CooL) for his translations. The game is now translated into 6 languages! This is partly thanks to several players who have proposed their services. If you would like to translate the game into your own language don't hesitate to get in touch with me using this link.
Other parts of the game have also been improved in this update. To see the details have a look at the patch notes.
See you soon and have fun! ːishappyː

Hi everybody,
Great news today! I'm pleased to announce that Pictopix has new background musics. As of now it has a playlist with ten pieces which will accompany you as you play. They are chosen from bossa nova tunes and more traditional jazz. I hope you'll like them and that you’ll let yourselves be carried along by the rhythms of the guitar or the piano!
Note that as you play you can pass on to the next piece using the "N" key on your keyboard or the right stick of your Xbox controller.
The other new feature is the localization of the game. Pictopix can now easily be translated into different languages. In addition to the English version Pictopix is now available in French, Spanish and Chinese. I would like to thank Joseahfer and Fall Ark for their translations and their help.
At startup, Pictopix will detect the language of your OS. If the game has been translated into this language, it will be selected – otherwise it will default into English. It is also possible to change the language in Options – Misc tab.
I take the occasion of this announcement to review things. Since I added the Workshop at the end of January there have been numerous improvements of lesser or greater importance like support for touch screens. You can consult the patch notes here.
As for the Workshop itself, there are now 800 puzzles! Thank you all for your contributions!
If I am able to continue to add new features it is thanks to the success of the game, and thus it's thanks to you, the players. I'd therefore like to thank you once again for your support and your suggestions! I'll keep on improving the game experience and I have a few ideas for the future...
Have fun! ːisveryhappyː

Today Pictopix has a new feature: the Steam Workshop!
This feature which was part of its initial conception will allow you to publish the puzzles you have created on the Steam Workshop and what is more, you’ll be able to find other players’ creations using the inbuilt browser.
An integral part of the game since the beginning and now available to all, the Puzzle Editor allows you to create your own puzzles. It’s easy to use and has two layers. One of these is for the squares to be colored in by the player and the other is for the picture which will be revealed. The editor enables you to create puzzles of all sizes from 5x5 to 25x25, as yet. You can also import and export images in PNG format.
The Puzzle Browser allows you to explore other players’ creations using a search engine and filters so that you can choose which puzzles to play. You can also vote for your favorite puzzles and keep yourself informed about the popularity of different puzzles. I’m hoping that the Pictopix community will produce some great puzzles!
Be careful to respect the intellectual property rights and not recopy existing puzzles (from this game or from any other). I must reserve the right to delete any puzzles which don’t keep to this rule.
The game will of course continue to evolve – there are still improvements to be made. I’m all ears to your suggestions in order to propose the best possible game experience. I would like to thank all of you for all the feedback I’ve received. It isn’t always easy to satisfy everybody but I hope that most of you take pleasure in playing Pictopix.
Now it’s your turn! Let your creativity run wild!

Hi everyone, Pictopix is now available on Steam! First, I'd like to thank all those who supported the game on Steam Greenlight. Thanks to you, Pictopix is now on the Steam Store. I hope you will have a lot of fun! As from now I will keep the game up to date. In the first phase there’ll be the integration of the Workshop. I’m working on that at the moment. This will allow players to share their creations and it will be available soon in a beta version of the game. I know that lots of players are looking for different things in this kind of game. This experience will lead to improvements: additional content will be added and new playing modes could come along! Happy New Year 2017 and have fun!
