Pixel Press lets you draw and play your own video game, but where do you start?

We’re hosting a level drawing contest to find our next great creator. Could it be you?
We’re happy to announce some changes and improvements to the guidelines for creating your levels. This new Sketch Guide will be used for the 1.0 version of the Pixel Press Floors App, which is on track to be released this spring.
Last week we had a blast demonstrating our latest beta version of Floors with our supporters in St. Louis! As you may have read in our previous post, we held event in the tech space in the newly renovated St. Louis Public Library.

We’re excited to come to you directly after spending the last 7 weeks preparing the latest version of Pixel Press for our trip to Seattle to attend Pax Prime this last weekend.
