After he directed the pleasant Deadly Premonition, I’d observe Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro into Hull and again for a brand new game in regards to the characters, curiosities, and killings of rural life. Thankfully, all I need to do for The Good Life is wait some time longer. Swery’s new studio, White Owls, have introduced they’re delaying The Good Life to allow them to, y’know, end it and make it correct good. After the jank of Deadly Premonition, there isn’t any developer on the planet I might give extra time for refinement.
The Good Life is the story of an American photojournalist who will get stranded in an English village the place a mysterious homicide has occurred and, additionally, individuals flip into cats and canine at evening. As effectively as probing the village’s mysteries, she’s merely making an attempt to earn a dwelling by placing her digital camera to make use of on on missions for localfolk. Previously on account of (and Kickstarted with the estimate that it might) launch round November 2019, it’s now anticipated in spring 2020.
“We’re very sorry about this, because we know you’ve all been waiting very patiently for The Good Life,” Swery stated in yesterday’s announcement. “We only came to the decision due to prioritising the quality of the game above all else.”
I’m 100% okay with this. I’m at all times glad when builders get sufficient time to enhance games and sure, sure, give this game time. I’ll wait.
Do see the submit for an replace on improvement progress too, together with a video demonstrating a few of Naomi’s adventures and one other evaluating the outdated look with the brand new. White Owls showcase fancier new artwork (it appears to be like good), a ‘beauty care’ system (I’ve such fond recollections of paying “stinky agent” fines to the FBI for not cleansing my fits usually sufficient), gardening, and oh so many issues to eat oh my god have a look at all that meals.
I haven’t seen such an expansion since I gorged on a gravekeeper’s endlessly-respawning canned inexperienced tomatoes whereas squatting in his graveyard shack.
