Hello it's Terry again and sorry again this week for being slightly late. I'll try and not make a habit of this since we are delaying the game update patch until next Friday (6th of May). The patch is actually ready but there are small bugs here and there. When the patch is out no doubt some of you will want to stream it and I really don't it to be a buggy experience so we are cleaning things up a bit before the patreon build - sorry!
We did a mini trailer on Youtube t...

Hello hello everyone!
The next download patch should be ready next Friday (expect bugs though, probably).
Time is passing so quickly at the moment. It feels that way since we are really getting a lot of work finished (although I feel like I say that every time, but it's true I promise!!!). We did a lot of cleaning on the interaction system as Jack remade the entire thing in the past 1-2 weeks or so. The old one was a bit yucky and now we have something much cleane...

Hi everyone!
Apologies for the delay in slightly bigger updates since our last game update. We've been working extremely hard on implementing new features and have a lot to show today. I suspect nearer to the end of April will be the next big game update!
Firstly, we are remaking and improving the library art to make it ready for implementation which will be located roughly behind the player house. This means another map expansion to add more things to do for everyone!

Terry here ~ I have a quick poll I'd like to run by everyone if that's okay. We've been working hard on how the new Furniture, DIY (walls, roofs, gardening etc) and electronics store will work. Both the Furniture and DIY stores will make their way into the game for late April and Electronics store around late May / early June.
This is super exciting, as we will close the full gameplay loop relatively soon at least for an Alpha version of the game. We are getting closer...

Hi everyone!
We have a new version v0.32.4.12 which smooths out a lot of the issues of the last patch plus additional improvements is now available for download!
Our next big game update will in mid/late April. That patch will take longer since both furniture and DIY stores will be functional and ready to go!

Hi everyone ~
I hope you're all doing well! I'm here to update you all on the current and nearby plans for the future. We had originally planned on doing a patch for this week but it seems we were a bit ambitious and will be pushing that update for next week. While we finished everyone we wanted to do, we haven't had time to bugtest it and it wouldn't be good if... well if it's buggy :(
Next weeks patch will see improvements in:

Hi everyone!
New patch with a lot a lot of new stuff is here today. We ran into some issues with Unity forcing an update on us which was not optional, which means we lost a lot of hours troubleshooting and trying to figure out how to manage new files with their 'Plastic SCM' git software. We managed it in time but hopefully there aren't any major issues.
Probably we will patch again with some new things again in two weeks time so stick around for that one in early March.

Hello 2022! Gym and Advanced Lighting
Helloo, how is the year going so far?
First of all I want to thank everyone for such an amazing 2021. Last year had so many challenges, but having you all around showing us your love and support has made it all worth it. I can’t believe how great the community that grew around Little Sim World is, and I think I speak for everyone on the team when I say you are all incredible and the game would never be possible without you.

Hello everyone! We missed you a lot ~ and sorry for the slight delay of 1 week for the patch, it's been a busy Christmas for us and New Year with work!! Our next big big patch will be in February with many additions etc. But for now we have fixed a lot of bugs in the game, like A LOT (many more than in notes, we forget to document sometimes lol).
Gym is coming soon. We expanded the map but it's not useable yet. Expanding the map is very difficult for us because it creates more NPC...

Hello! How is everyone doing? Apologies for this week, it should have been a patch BUT, there's a very big one coming so in the next one we will for sure get that stuff in. I didn't want to do a double patch, one this week and one next week. We are looking at a few big things:
1. Cooking
2. Experience gain (player interests)
3. Grocery store
4. Smarter NPCs (they will look more natural and interact with objects in the world more convincingly).
I am happy to say this week...

Hi everyone! How is Friday treating you all?
These past few weeks we have been working hard on what should be one of my favorite features coming to the game: Cooking! This is exciting not only because cooking (and eating) is always a lot of fun, but also because it lets us improve some other aspects of the game including our careers and city. So let’s get on with this shall we 👨🍳!

Hello! How was the week for everyone?
Since our last update, I have been working a lot on designing our shopping interactions and items lists! For starters, the shopping system will be used for food and drink purchase, and once we have other types of stores and buildings we’ll use it for everything else.

Our shopping system is pretty straightforward, you will have access to the shopkeeper’s inventory as well as your own, and through simp...

This week we have another patch (sorry, 2 in a row!). Basically, we implemented containers, which is the fridge. Also, you can withdraw food from the fridge for free for the moment to test out eating and drinking.
A lot is still missing, like the freezer, ability to actually buy food and particle effects are also missing from eating. However, I think this is a very good start and significant polish will be added in the next patch 2 weeks from now as well as a very basic careers mode!

This week is not quite a million bug fixes, but it is... a lot. We have fixed 95% of all the major outstanding bugs and will continue to make the game significantly smoother.
In 2-4 weeks time we will be making sure that the food containers are in the game as well as the very basic careers mode. Things are speeding up significantly and it's all looking so good.

Helloo, Hope you’re doing well!
This week we’ve been working hard on many different fronts, as the number of Wellbeings increases the system gets more complex and more fun! I feel like Little Sim World gets more lively with each update, since because of the Wellbeings we’re now adding interaction to a lot of our furniture and items. So let’s get to it!

Little Sim World 0.31y3 Update Changelog
Heads up! This build is slightly buggy because we added quite a few new systems compared to the old one. We remade the pathfinding but it's still not quite stable but should be serviceable. Added some interactions, some of which still needs substantial improvement so keep that in mind!!

Hi everyone, Terry here!
This week I want to focus on a vote regarding the future update schedule for the game ~ one thing that's happened is that we are spending a lot of time perfecting certain systems in the game to make sure it's scalable and lag free in the long term as the game gets bigger.
For example, at the moment we are working on substantial improvements to the pathfinding system so the NPCs won't get bugged anymore. Unfortunately, a lot of the details of these fe...

Hello everyone!
This week we have finally added the first wellbeing, which is sleeping. This took a while to add mostly because of the large number of systems that needed to be in place for it to work properly. The fortunate side of this is that the other wellbeing will be significantly easier to add over time, so in the next update, we should be looking at having the hygiene and bladder wellbeing in the game - super exciting!

Terry here. Me and the team are starting to get the wellbeing systems in place, and I wanted to ask your opinion on how Hunger and Thirst should work overall.

Currently, the system I have in mind consists of a simple cycle:

This is certainly a foodie week if we ever had one (• ε •). I’m adding to our selection of foods a ton of new alternatives players can pick from! You’ll have access to meals and snacks, soft drinks and hard ones, and there’s even more on the way. I’m getting hungry already!
