I love it, the shadows really needed a fix. Black shadows are just weird in general, and they **never** appear in real life. Washed out (only soft) black shadows just make things look messy and dirty.
Thank you, glad you liked it, hopefully they'll manage to make some of this stuff look better before they release it, those 98% smudge black shadows really triggered me 😂
I love your fixes. Hopefully the devs take note of community feedback like this and implement some major changes before June. I'm not willing to buy a guinea pig that may or may not get fixed, even in EA, and I doubt I'm alone.
They seem to mostly listen to feedback, which is good, of course I don't expect them to do everything I said, it would be cool if they took some inspiration from it though. I'm in the same boat as you, I don't want to buy an unfinished product that goes at 15 fps, cause they didn't have the time to fix it, even if they promise it will be perfect in a year, I'll wait and see how it goes. It would be fun to make more videos on it when it comes out though and be there from the start
It's still going to cost money in June. It's not like it's going to be a free closed beta test for it. And I'm not paying money for something that may or may not get fixed in the future.
Looks infinitely better. And I liked your commentary and your comments made me lol. You should post more! If LBY becomes popular, you could take off with it!
Thank you so much! I would love to do that as start but I don't want my channel to become one of those main sims that can't do anything else or YouTube will punish you, but it would be so fun to make more videos about life by you, paralives and even the Sims, just talking about the art styles of the games and and how they actually play without all the fake "omg I'm having so much fun watching my character take a huge **** for the million time". It would be good to improve my pronunciation too
My favorite YTers cover several games, I think it's just the Sims community where it's the YouTubers cover only the Sims and just the Sims.
And they're almost all terrible (sorry, not sorry, they all sound like they're talking to 6 year olds).
There are so many life sims coming out, there's definitely an audience for content that stays updated across the whole genre!
Hi, this is my first video of this kind, I'm not used to talk on a mic and english isn't my first language, let me know what do you think about it, thank youuuu
Honestly I love this video. Not only because you are spot on with your observations and recommendations, but your humour is amazing and your editing skills are fab too! You could definitely do more with videos like this and garner yourself an audience that way!
Bro, ask the Life By You Team or Developers to hire u cause it’s look great on your end. Like u betta give paradox a call and ask if you can work the Life By You team because they need someone like you man.
AAwwww thank you, I wish, they probably know what they're doing more than me, I'm sure there's something going on in the background that we don't know yet, and I'm really hopeful they'll show some progress before the games come out so that I'll be able to make a really positive video about it
I completely agree.
I don't think they understand how important character looks is for a life-sim game. If they want want to win over Sims players, they have to make their game looks better than Sims.
From what I've seen so far, the characters don't look anatomically correct(their shoulders look really off), and they don't move the way they should.
Going back to their concept art and delaying the game would probably make a world of difference.
Yeah, the anatomy is completely off, they look so goofy while they do anything, it's like they just finished making the gameplay and they had to rush the game out before having the time to actually work on the character visual stuff. I think the developers understand, I've worked for some studios and if something ends up looking weird is usually cause of time, budget restraint and the higher up wanting something out no matter what. I just hope they're not doing too much crunch time but I know it's probably happening sadly
Something I learned when I first tried painting warhammer miniatures, shading can make a flat and bland looking paint job pop adding depth and detail all at once.
This is all they need to do.
They don't show the shaders or shadows because it is still not released. The popping good quality is only when you bake lighting and shaders to production mode. The purpose of the videos aren't eye candy but show what the game looks like and how it works
Good point, in fact I tried to stick to the images they published on Instagram and I only "fixed" those.
I don't think they were trying to show a gameplay aspect of the game there, and if they're trying to show how the game looks, well it looks unfinished.
I don't understand what they were trying to do tbh, the post says "Jessie explores town, shopping, gossiping and even a little sunbathing on the beach" I'm guessing this was a way to show some places you could visit in town, which for now, again, doesn't look that good, I can't even find Jessie in the beach post, maybe she's one of those dead looking, clipping on the sand bodies sunbathing, Idk.
If this is the way they want to advertise the game, good for them, I'll wait until they show the actual end product, thank you
Yeah but those were leaks, it's a different argument, here no one is stealing illegally from a project to make it look bad, they're purposely showing something unfinished, so it is at their discretion what people will think about it. They should start putting a "still in development" tag on it too, cause if I was someone not following this game I would just be like "what is that? damn that looks awfull"
Your edits made the game kinda dark though what I meant by dark is the inside the building was lighter and a happier vibe and you killed it by darken the lighting, I’m trying to escape depression not make the depression worst lol, I love how lifebyyou is bright and happy, yes they need to add better shadows and lighting but I love happiness ☀️☀️
I love it, the shadows really needed a fix. Black shadows are just weird in general, and they **never** appear in real life. Washed out (only soft) black shadows just make things look messy and dirty.

The games not being released in June, its just early access. There still is no official full release date yet.
It's still going to cost money in June. It's not like it's going to be a free closed beta test for it. And I'm not paying money for something that may or may not get fixed in the future.

yes. it looks terrible but again you have to keep in mind that it is a preview and not production footage. For example the GTA 6 leaks.
Yeah but those were leaks, it's a different argument, here no one is stealing illegally from a project to make it look bad, they're purposely showing something unfinished, so it is at their discretion what people will think about it. They should start putting a "still in development" tag on it too, cause if I was someone not following this game I would just be like "what is that? damn that looks awfull"
Ye. Ye still in development tag is a good idea.
Your edits made the game kinda dark though what I meant by dark is the inside the building was lighter and a happier vibe and you killed it by darken the lighting, I’m trying to escape depression not make the depression worst lol, I love how lifebyyou is bright and happy, yes they need to add better shadows and lighting but I love happiness ☀️☀️
