Why Early Access?

“To put it simply: because we want to build this game together, with you. We aim to be transparent, listen to and incorporate feedback from the community, and prioritize what you want to see most during our Early Access period.

Life is a huge topic, and life simulation is only limited by your imagination, so we know that there’s a lot we can add with your input. This is a huge game, we can't wait to keep working on it with you!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that the game will be in Early Access for at least 12 months. This time is subject to change as we continue to work on development and receive feedback from you, our Early Access players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Once the game leaves Early Access, we plan to give you consistent updates and improvements to the game. We plan to continue to introduce modder-friendly tools and features, and develop with our community in mind!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Life by You is building out a robust gameplay system, including customization options, Creator Tools, character interactions, and quests. Early Access won’t have all of the content we hope to have at launch, and there’s still a lot we hope to accomplish while we’re in Early Access, but the game is in a very exciting stage for Early Access players!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“A special introductory price will be offered during Early Access. Prices will go up after the game officially launches.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As an Early Access game, we look forward to working directly with you, our players, to determine the ideas and content that will drive the priorities in our game development and bring Life by You to full-launch. We hope to have regular surveys to receive feedback from you all and build our roadmap around what you would like to see.

That being said, we do have a wishlist of features that we’re working on! Children are not currently fully implemented in game so we see improvements here, including further developing children and adding more content for them as Early Access progresses.”
