Citypixel stores are coming. July 31st will be here before you know it and citypixel stores will be open. You will be able to buy special furniture at any of the stores and use these pieces in your Apartment or Office cube.

Your friends will be jealous when you show them your Apartment or Office cube that has Animals, Bars, Hot Tubs, Rugs and other exciting pieces. Pixels are earned when you log into citypixel.com, you maintain your Apartment or Cube and when you connect with friends.

To find our stores, click ‘more citypixel’ and then ‘citypixel classifieds’. Here you will find a listing of all the Stores in citypixel as well as ‘Hot spots’ to gather in…  I look forward to seeing the cool Apartments and Cubes that are tweaked with all the new furniture you have access to!

Greetings Citizens!

Just wanted to drop a quick line to inform everyone that we’re about to get a facelift!

The homepage is about to get revitalized, but don’t worry, all the features, buttons, and links you’re used to will still be there. We just want to freshen up and splash a bit more color on there.

In other news, someone recently described citypixel.com as SecondLife-lite. Is that a real perception from our Citizens? I think if you log in to PixelYork it’s plain to see that we’re not anything like them at all.

 Finally, don’t forget to Digg! us: http://digg.com/tech_news/Citypixel_-_Our_World_in_Pixels. It will only take a second, if you already have an account, and it’ll help spread the word that we’re here!

Ok, you have to admit that moving cars is pretty cool stuff, right? Art-wise, the cars were cool, but now they move! I guess now we’ll just have to make the avatars move…

As your Mayor, I was recently asked why we didn’t debut the city with moving people and cars. The answer is simple - walking around is fun, but cool apartments and office cubes is what we’re all about. You can’t really express yourself walking down an awesome pixel-city, but you can express yourself with a seriously awesome apartment! Maybe BigA will throw some free pixels at you if you tell us why yours is great! Or maybe we can toss you a free banner ad to link to your apartment so more people can find it.

Finally, at citypixel HQ, we’ve been talking about East Coast Choppers and cool car and bike concepts. What about custom garages and customizable cars as a feature in the city?

I can only do so much as the Mayor. I represent the citizens and will need some serious feedback to get the Public Works Dept. to look into this!

Greetings Citizens of PixelYork!

We’re working hard developing and testing our latest features so you can begin to enjoy them. I don’t want to give a lot away, but we’ve been hearing that the city is too static… so we’re going to change that. Want to party in your apartment, but need some music? What about leaving voicemail for your neighbors?

We’ve got new buildings scattered about, we’re about to unleash a bunch of new cars, and if you check your apartment and cube, you’ll see some new furni. BUT - what are we missing? Participate in the design! Let us know what you want to see next and we’ll be sure to get it on the ‘to-do’ list!

We modified the homepage a little. It’s loading faster, and has a few new features. I mean, who wants to wait to get into PixelYork?

Speaking of PY, we need some ideas for new landmarks. We have a centrally located park, a big boy city hall, a stadium and a subway, but need a statue of pixelty. Any suggestions?

We’re building PixelYork for you! Keep telling us what you want to see and do, and we’ll make it happen. Unlike real life, we want you to be able to come here and just do what you want to do! So lay it on us, and we’ll lay it out in pixels.

Keep your eyes tuned in here for more updates!

-The Mayor
