New simulation game?

Honestly? The concept is great and I'd love to see some of the features in the franchise- base game seasons, adjustable clocks, and man- that sunset!
It's honestly such a nice concept, it really is, and while I understand it's still a WIP- but the trailer makes the game looks bland and boring. The animations are too slow to be natural and their Sims (i forgot what they named them) look absoloutely lifeless and terrible. I would never want to look one in the eye.

I think I'll stick with The Sims.

It is already said several times the sims would look different, but for now they don't have the funds yet to make them how they want.

I've been burned by kickstarter scams and cons so many times I'm reluctant to fund anything on there ever again sorry (most recently josh parnell of limit theory running off with 200k, £100 of it mine!).

but this looks interesting and i do wish you all the best and hope something comes of it. i'd certainly pay full price for the final product when you have it on steam ;)

i played sims 4 once, for like 20 minutes and i thought WTF is this? i was so disappointed beyond belief, thank god i still have sims 3 to go back to. i've always hoped something like the sims 3 would come along but nothing ever has.

Just got an email from Kickstarter that RevieStudios cancelled Habs's Kickstarter.

From the studio:
"Welcome, and yes, our ambitious, brash Kickstarter project is parked for the foreseeable future.While some see failure as doom, Google actually has a process by which to gauge, learn and move on from it. Habs™ has taken us on a fascinating journey so far, and while no one has questioned our passion & drive, nor the market gap that we’re trying to fill, we’ve miss fired on a few issues including the trailer and lack of community engagement.

So were going to address a few behind closed doors, while we address lack of community with an open door – on the clear understanding – we don’t have the bank roll of AAA studios or some moneyed up benefactor. What you see is what you get.

“A picture is worth a 1000 words” – while the trailer and the toony look was never intended to be final product, initial impressions killed interest before we could get people to read on and have faith in our vision for Habs™ - our bad, we’ll try to do better next time.

It’s Now Up to You Too!
So if you’re here because the current suite of life simulation games pisses you off, and you’re sick and tired of being ignored by the big companies, then register your interest below – and SHARE!!!

Tell us what you want as well as what you’re willing to do to pitch in (ideas, thoughts and eventually yes some $$) – and that’s all we’re going to ask of you for now*. When we’ve reached a number that satisfies us that we can re-launch our crowdfund project again then we’ll do so.


Finally, if you decide to do nothing, we hope you continue to enjoy what the current offerings provide you in the life simulation genre.


Have a great day.

Revie"

I went to pledge, but they canceled their Kickstarter. :/

@Jemkatk Yes. If you look at Emily's post directly above yours she posted a copy of the company statement on why they cancelled and that they hope to come back if they get enough support. So head over them and show them your support!

Thanks @Emily4331 for posting that
