Previously unreleased screenshots from the canceled Life By You have leaked online. The artists who worked on the project – Richard Ho, Eric Mackie and Chris Lewis – showed their work, which they prepared for a competitor in the series The Sims from Paradox Interactive.
Life By You has received a lot of excitement as one of the possible competitors of The Sims. However, after early access was delayed, the project ended up in the trash. The publisher admitted it was a “clear failure” for Paradox.
Visually, the screenshots are no different from the latest official materials released before the game was canceled. However, you will notice some differences: the character editor is more complete and the environments seem to be a little worse.
So the comments from the Internet users, according to whom the game actually looks much better in the screenshots. This seems to confirm what one previous developer said that the team had made a lot of progress before Paradox stopped the project.
The game doesn’t look finished in these screenshots. Players still noticed the shortcomings, known from official presentations. According to them, although there was progress, the developers still had a lot to do to make the game truly meet the expectations of The Sims fans and the publisher. Especially in terms of gameplay.
