The Good Life Development News - July 2019 / The Good Life 開発状況 2019年7月

Dear beloved backers,

This is SWERY, the original creator and director of The Good Life.

I'm writing this because I have a very important announcement to make today.

One year and three months have already passed since this Kickstarter project met its goal. I can't believe it's already been that long! Time goes by fast when you're working hard every day to make a good game.

In the campaign, we stated that The Good Life would be released in Q4 2019 and received support from you all. After a long deliberation, we have decided to change the schedule and extend the development period in order to deliver The Good Life to all our backers in the best condition possible.

It's a very important, heavy decision, but we made it believing that it's the happiest decision for all the people who are going to eventually play it. Therefore, we humbly ask that you wait a little bit longer for The Good Life to reach your hands.

We expect the release date to move from Q4 2019 to Spring 2020.

We're very sorry about this, because we know you've all been waiting very patiently for The Good Life. We only came to the decision due to prioritizing the quality of the game above all else.

We sincerely hope you can understand our feelings on this issue, and will continue to support us.

Throughout this period of one year and a few months, the team has been working hard on deciding the details about what sort of game The Good Life is supposed to be. They've withstood my crazy manifestos and continued working hard on developing the game. The graphics have all been powered up compared to how they originally appeared during the campaign, and we even increased the map size so that you can sink your teeth even further into the world we've created.

Here, we'll post comparison videos that you can use to compare the current state of the game with the state of the game during the campaign. We hope you'll be able to watch these and stay excited for this new, powered-up version of The Good Life.

I'm fine with it, take your time sweary. Bad spot to launch tho, if I'm not mistaken spring 2020 is looking quite crowded with an amazing line-up

Edit: I prefer the new character models but the old buildings looked better imo:messenger_mr_smith_who_are_you_going_to_call:

I'm there day 1 for whatever Swery makes, but as far as The Good Life actually releasing goes I'll believe it when I see it. It's been so long since it was first supposed to release I'm not gonna get my hopes up for it actually coming out this year.

Ready to play this, even at 1fps average on Switch. Sometimes I still think to the first concept demo released, was so charming as all Swery games.

Right. I think I'd be ok even if they pushed it into 2022. It is a very ambitious game, and well Swery needs a decent release.

So long as they don't switch to "oh no, no more dates. It's back to when it's done", which is always a red flag.
