Nivalis (PC) - I'm keeping my eye on this.

By

As a big fan of life-sim games, Nivalis caught my attention because it portrays life in the opposite spectrum of the usual charming farm or island setting -- that is, life in a cyberpunk themed city. Nivalis seems interesting enough based on the premise of finding a place to live, a place to work, and a place to love. I remember that Cyberpunk 2077 planned to include this too as a sort of gameplay, where the player can have a routine of work to take a break from the main story (or even a break from the side-quests); I don't know what happened to that plan. Anyway, the thought of Nivalis is captivating.

Nivalis is being developed by ION Lands, and their other game, Cloudpunk, is (also) a cybperpunk themed game where you deliver parcels. In Nivalis, you're supposed to create a cyber comfy home, manage a business, and meet new friends. But perhaps there is something more -- a secret hidden beneath the city.

There is no release date for Nivalis yet, but it is wishlisted now on my Steam.

inZOI early access

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...

The 4 Things I've learned in 2024

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...

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.
