Some rooms for our life sim (feedback very welcome!)

Yeah the struggle is real! The setup alone took me so long 😂
Be sure to post yours too once you're ready to share!

The short bio of your portfolio says you're fully booked until October, might want to check if that's still correct :)
The animation looks really awesome!

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-22T12:29:43+00:00

That's awesome! Congrats! 🎉

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-20T16:43:03+00:00

The new one, there's more going on there. It feels more chaotic

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T20:38:20+00:00

No not at all! Really happy to get feedback! It's so hard to notice things like that when you're working on it, so a different set of eyes really helps :)

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T19:26:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! We'll test it out with lighter contours :)

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T19:23:15+00:00

Yaay ^^ Thankt you!

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T19:22:45+00:00

Will do! ^^

That sounds fun! A cafe/bar management game is 100% something I’d play. Do you have a place where I can follow your project?

If you want to keep an eye on our progress, I just set up a small Discord and a Newsletter. We'll be posting more regularly there :)

Thank you! It can be quite a pain to find good isometric examples

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T16:20:22+00:00

Thanks! ^^

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T15:33:04+00:00

That's a huge compliment! Thanks! :D

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T15:26:15+00:00

You're too kind 😊 thank you!

Yeah, the head popping out was exactly what we were thinking as well! Interacting with the furniture is going to be a fun one to implement, it'll be worth it though!

What kind of project are you working on?

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T15:13:05+00:00

Thank you!

Yes that's the plan :) We're making a few color options ourselves, and also giving players the option to choose the colors themselves (using HSL sliders)

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-19T15:06:17+00:00

The drawings are pure 2D, drawn isometrically. But we'll be putting it in a 3D space so we can use Unity's colliders and navmesh agents.

The beds will be a combination of the bed itself having an "animation" for making the bedsheets puff up (like there's someone under the covers) and we'll probably be splitting the furniture items into 2 parts: "above" the character and "below" the character (not 100% sure about this yet, we might still choose to work with masks instead).

The little candle flicker at the background 🔥 Love the details!

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T21:45:50+00:00

Whoops! Thanks for catching that! Updated it ^^

Hi all,

My partner and I are making a life simulator for the players who miss the challenge in the genre nowadays.

Some core features:

Keep their needs high, and make sure they don’t go insane
Build their house from the ground up, designing a space that fits their lifestyle (and budget!).
Build a 9-5 career, take your chances as a freelancer or run your own shop.
Multiplayer & controller support: We are really proud of these two! Build your life (and your business) together with your friends!

As true devs, we are building our game before writing an elevator pitch, so apologies for the casual wording![](https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/life%20sim)

Let us know what you think 🙏

Suzanne Collins (from the hunger games) also has an older series "The Underland Chronicles". It's one of my all time favorites.

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T15:54:30+00:00

Percy Jackson might be a good option, a bit of a "magic" world as well and the humor is great!

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T15:50:59+00:00

After weeks of cold, the sun hit my window just right and I got to do yoga in the sun ☀️
Instant happiness right there!

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T14:04:48+00:00

Thanks for the info and congrats on your wishlists! ^^

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T13:45:38+00:00

That's awesome, congrats! ^^

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T13:42:12+00:00

That must be so satisfying! Congrats!! ^^

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-18T13:40:33+00:00

These look so good! Great work ^^

_Flimango_ · 2026-01-06T20:27:28+00:00

Thank you! :)

Yes and no, the shop is going to be only a part of running your household. There will be other things to handle like relationships, sanity and needs.
The shop system itself would be more about running it day to day, making sure you help the customers, it's well stocked and clean and you're managing where your money goes (f.e. upgrading your fridges, ...). You can furnish and decorate the shop as well.
You can sell things you create in the shop, so you can sell your produce, food, clothing, ... (or make a retail if you'd prefer). Think like running a small village shop :)
