Paralives announced its Early Access release!

By
Paralives announced that it will release early access on December 8, 2025. Paralives is an upcoming life sim game with a familiar feel yet its own charming art and color palette. It vibes with simplicity and a fresh look as a life sim game on the PC. Yet the game also features an intricate build and buy mode. In Paralives, you take care of your Parafolk settling down in a small town. There will only be one neighborhood town at launch. Although the developers remarked that more towns and neighborhood will follow. Some notable features in the game include:  grid-less building or item propping. resizable, stackable furniture. boat-houses in base game. familiar gameplay with jobs and school. pets like dogs and cats are confirmed in the base game. I'm wary not knowing how much emphasis is given to the Parafolks' actual live mode in terms of getting a job, thriving as a bachelor, or building a family. You can make a single couch into a double couch by dragging its length; which look...

Simple Fix to revert loading digital games after Nintendo Switch version 20 update

By
Image
I DON'T NEED TO PAIR MY SWITCH, LOAD AND UNLOAD MY GAME! The version 20.0 update frustrated me. I admit that I celebrated it when it was installed. Not knowing that the virtual game cards mechanic would become super cumbersome for us who own multiple Switch consoles. (Say at least 3).  Before the update, I simply made sure my game isn't running on my second console before booting it up on my first console. With virtual game cards, you need to pair the second switch, unload and load the game. That is you need to get up, make sure the Switch A and B are close and then hope that the pairing works well. Rinse and repeat if you want to play your digital game with a Switch C. So here's an easy fix to revert to loading your digital game instead of virtual game cards.  1. First, make sure that you're connected to the Internet. Go to your user profile on your Nintendo Switch HOME screen. 2. Go to User Settings. 3. Scroll down and find Use Online License. 4. Switch it to ON.  As...

inZOI launches today with its Early Access on Steam

By

The new life-sim game, inZOI , launches today on Steam. You will play with ZOIs, take care of them, and will build their homes in inZOI. Its biggest selling point is its graphics, character creation, and procedural events. For those who have just started life-sim games, inZOI may leave a mark in their lives. I hope it does. Let's see if inZOI lives will play out as we expect.  Anyway, I'll be playing this after work. On other news,  Paralives is also slated to release this year.

Kingdoms could have been ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES

By

Let me tell you about what could have been one of the greatest games in history. That sounds like an exaggeration, but this game is NO DOUBT HIGHLY AMBITIOUS. The problem is we don't know the future of its fate. And it's not a figment of imagination. If you are a developer, you may want to check it out. I've been tracking Kingdoms as early as 2016, and bought the Early Access on 2017. Those who got a taste of Kingdoms from thereon were constantly trying to figure out whether the game will launch or not. Unfortunately in 2019, OREOL, the developer released a statement about how totally uncertain Kingdoms' future is. 2020 some updates were implemented. And then back to nothing again. Kingdoms is a game where you embark to pioneer on an uninhabited island along with some NPCs. You start by landing on the island by ship with a bunch of NPCs. And after you disembark, you're left to decide your destiny -- that is to build a kingdom from scratch. Along with the hundred so...

The 4 Things I've learned in 2024

By

1. An hour is plenty of time. It's my fault for not treating time as a precious commodity . I viewed time as something expendable. Or I'm always telling myself that I'll have time for things tomorrow. But time moves forward. We can't bring time back once it's spent.  It's not about pressuring myself to do something early on; or adoring deadlines; but it's about trusting that one hour is plenty of time. What's ironic is that my work involves time management aka university exams. So there was one time that I could not sleep at all. Not at all . I was still awake at 4 AM. I had no choice but to start the day early. A Monday to boot. I played New World for one hour: hence fought off a lot of enemies, completed nine quests, and earned about 3k gold coins. Then went back to bed at 5 AM to try to get some shut eye for an hour before getting up again at 6 AM. Maybe it's the one in one hour . One surely sounds small. But one hour is still 60 minutes. A t...

Palworld: Feybreak will release on December 23, 2024

By

Exciting news as Palworld: Feybreak, Palworld's next major update, releases on December 23.  The major update will add a new island that developers claim to be six times bigger than Sakurajima Island . There is also a new Faction leader to beat, new weapons at your disposal (such as the M1 Garand, AK-47, SMG, and a plasma sword). And also new pals to capture. I'm mostly excited that they're adding another building theme. Specifically, are we expecting a new plantation? Check out the official trailer below. So now that I have Palworld at least to help me enjoy the winter break. And I'll say additional brownie points to Pocket Pair on adding a major season update despite their current lawsuit situation. I'm glad to see the game and the map slowly growing. This extends Palworld's overall longevity for both single-player and multiplayer sessions.

inZOI early access

By
Image
Source: Krafton inZOI announced that it will hit early access on March 28, 2025 . Honestly, I would say that they take their time. Life By You getting cancelled only added the hunger for a fresh life-sim. inZOI looks very interesting. And I prefer to have inZOI take their time for a successful launch as it's primed for the life-sim market with rivals like Paralives and Sims 4. What's the big deal with inZOI? Create beautiful ZOIs. Gorgeous weather dynamic. Customize the world according to your play theme. Impressive build mode. Open world with live map. The beautiful character creation, the live open world, and gorgeous weather dynamic are the deal makers. The building aspect is secondary. But I'm impressed on how you can edit the overarching theme for your city such as adding the post-apocalypse setting. Sort of like add roleplay into the world. Players will also encounter unexpected life events in the game. Which complements the open world and live map similar to Sims 3...
