Kind of disappointed about this, I was hoping it would provide a little bit of competition to EA. At least Paralives is still supposed to released, and my copy of The Sims 3 still works as well!
That’s a shame. I do feel like Life By You is the Sims-style game I’ve heard the least about though
Yeah, I hadn’t heard a lot about it. When they pushed back the first launch I was disappointed, when the second launch was postponed I was starting to expect a cancellation. It appears they just had too big a scope for the first time in the genre.
Which of the alternatives do you like the best/have the highest hopes for?
Maybe Paralives. I feel like it’s further out from completion than Tiny Life though and is going to require more time to become a polished product.
It sounds like they’ve got a pretty small dev team, so I’m sure it’s going to take a while. Hopefully the wait will be worth it!
I’m somewhat torn on what I would prefer these games to do. On one hand I would like it to be like the Sims, but better. On the other I would like them to carve out their own niche and go from there. Either way they go there will be people that are disappointed. I’m personally not a huge fan of the artstyle of Paralives, but good gameplay is almost always the deciding factor for me. I’m certainly willing to give it a try, if for no other reason than supporting alternatives.
