Vivaland vs Project Renee

I hadn't heard of this one.

Vivaland is the first life simulation game built with multiplayer in mind from the ground up.
Every household in Vivaland is controlled by real players around the world!


Also real time.

To be fair there is not too much information.I posted their first trailer .I am glad were getting so many new life simulation games . Like Life by you,Paralives,Tiny Life and now Vivaland

It's very pretty, but it seems very building-focused at this time.

I hope at least ONE of the four games (Rene/PL/LBY/VL) will have an aspiration meter with robust Wants and Fears that are tied to the characters' personalities.

It did say there will be careers, skill building and epic multiplayer events, though not sure who will want to play them in real time.

Thanks for sharing, I had hoped that more people would make life simulation games, this is looking impressive for a first trailer. It's nice so see cozy games and life simulation games becoming more popular.

Well, it's very similar to The Sims maybe perfect for the "MMO" community.

Tiny Life, Paralives and Life By You are single player games.

It's not a mmo though.Its multiplayer the only people there will be your friends that you invite.MMO is a complete public server.

It reminds me a little Signiti aka People of Newbery

Vivaland

Headquarters : Budapest, Hungary
Year founded : 2022
Business size : 1-10 employees

Well unlike signiti this is real .

Yes but 4 people doing a game in 2 years seems to be unrealistic (from 2022 to 2024).

Paralives team with 11 people and Paradox with more people didn't make it in 4 years (From 2019 to 2023).

Tiny Life development was done in 2 years by 1 person (From 2021 to 2023) but it's not a 3D game.

It depends on the person education.This is definitely not a scam. Due to the fact they have a steam page.
.

I don't mean a scam.
I meant 2024 seems to be impossible like Paradox did by announcing an early access in September 2023 (postponed to March 2024).

I don't expect a game before 2025 or 2026 at least.


Note : the lead game designer was an university student in 2021, this game is his first job.

It doesn't make me think they have a lot of experiences in game development but as TS4 modders they may understand better the needs of the players.


FAQ

YOU STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND YOU ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH PROGRESS? YOU ALSO PLAN TO RELEASE THE GAME NEXT YEAR? IT SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME!


Our previous projects and research work makes it possible for us to work this fast. Game development processes are often very ineffective, but we do our best to optimize our workflows. The planned release of 2024 is still an estimate, however, we're really proud of what we achieved in this little time.

Oh sorry I misunderstood.

Noticed the color wheel, option to turn off the grid in object placing, and the less that smooth sim movement. The argument animations looked a lot like TS2 ones. The overly giggly narrator did mention play solo at the beginning. Don't like the build mode popping sounds. Looks promising but that 2024 date seems overly optimistic.

Oooohhh! another challenger has arrived to challenge the sims 5, this will be interesting.
