Decompressor/Extractor Shenanigans

I am getting very irritated by freeware whatever-zip giving me ads and reminders to pay. Sorry everyone for making you all go through this unpleasant experience in this extracting process. The real reason is because we need to keep the build under 200 MB to put on Patreon as that is the limit. This causes:

1. Requirement to download different zippers.
2. Confusion on why the game doesn't run.
3. Longer build and decompression times for both us and everyone here!!!

Pre-Alpha Update! #39

Hello friends,

Let’s start off with the biggest news, the official release date for Little Sim World’s pre-alpha is this Wednesday, 31st of March 4PM! Going forwards, all updates will be moved from Saturday to Wednesdays because this will give me time to do bug fixes if there are any! 

The pre-alpha:
Is a build mode and character creator for the most part. I will be adding a lot of features in April. It will be on Patreon for download to existing patre...

Let there be light! #38

Hello everyone! This week lights are shining a bit brighter!

It’s been some time since we’ve taken a stroll around the city together, so to make up for it let’s start today off by checking some of the new lights from around town! In the first image you can check the new pole lights that will brighten your path on the way home, and some shorter street lights as a pedestrian alternative to the tall ones already in use for traffic. Following these more modern lamps, how about adding ...

Player Identity & More! #37

Hello and welcome to your Little Saturday news corner! Fancy some tea, and milk or sugar?

We’ll straight up start by exploring a loving home in the heart of town. This week’s stroll begins by venturing the gardens of this little cottage with it’s well tended flowers and short trimmed grass. As you can see the small shrubs from yesterday now also have a blooming version, so you can add even more colour to your paths. More than that, you’ll now be able to place lanterns around you...

Coloured Clothing, Sway & Buttons ~ #36

Hello! March is finally here and we hope you’re all doing great :3

Since Pre-Alpha is coming out along with Spring here in the UK (it’s the blooming season after all), this week we wanted to take you all to see what’s new in our Lawn and Garden section. If you’re one of us who enjoys the natural vibe of a live fence, you can now decorate your garden with small bushes all around, making your very own green walkway or leafy maze! You can also check the new flower and herb planters...

Here's a Better Update! ~ #35

Hello! This was a very exciting week and we’ve brought a ton of great things to share ~ I think we are getting better with more interesting images D:

First on the list is our highly anticipated rework of our food assets! We know we have a lot of foodies out there (and in here too (•ω•)) so to honor our community we’re really putting a lot of effort into making them look as tasty as we can. We’re also investing a lot of time into making more sweets to go alongside our exi...

GIFs & Mini-Videos ~ #34

Hello everyone! In the past few weeks I felt like I was updating with too many assets per week and a lot of other work was not being shown properly ~ going forwards I'll try and update with a better variety of images! This means more videos each week and GIFs wherever possible. I didn't like getting into a routine with predictable images etc, bad bad bad!!!

We have done a lot more assets this week as you can see in the house ~ higher level furnishing that's white marble as well as the p...

Lazy Update: 101 #33

I feel like this weeks update is a bit lazy and messy again because it's just more piles of items >_< - but there's a looot of stuff. Uhm, another point... we have a new patreon homepage to add some more relevant information (omg it took AGESSS). Still, I thought the banners are kind of cute ~ so it summarises the game well and the rest of the info is on our website ^_^

Quite a few people have asked this question, so I ...

Messy Update Week ._. #32

Well, what a messy shower of items today... some are more finished than others.

As promised, here are some decorations :3 this is a good start and I feel like we have captured the general vibe of what we are going for. This way you can add all sorts of little decorative objects into the house!

I am aiming for a lot of rugs and mats to start with to reptitiveness of ground tiles everywhere - it makes it look a lot more comfortable allowing an additional layer of customization (quit...

Random Midweek Update (Website)

Today is the mood for a random midnight update. Don't worry this is unrelated to the Saturday updates so that will still be coming. I have been working a lot on our new website:

https://lsw.gg/

Which will replace our current website eventually. Our current website is made on Squarespace, which makes it more expensive, slower and a lot more difficult to develop on. The new site, while similar, is made on Wordpress so it is bet...

Bam - Revisions! #Week 30

Hey everyone, I hope you are all well!

Just a quick announcement to make - going forwards, I will be doing mini-livestreams on Discord where anyone can join at random times during the week. Most likely between around 11am-6pm GMT with lengths of around 1-2 hours each time. This will be likely random timing, but if you're around on Discord, feel free to hop on to watch Michel and myself do some work on the game. They will mostly be art related and chats about design etc - call them chill...

A lot of overall improvements! #Week 29

What a cold month it has been in Cambridge, I hope you're all keeping warm ._.

Oh yes the furniture store is entirely finished now. After a lot of deliberation and discussion, I felt that something simple and clean does the job well. This also allows for some randomised stock of items to be in which is nice and the overall layout is now slightly different. This store took what I felt like was forever, but it's now finally done v.v sorry it took so long!

The bank WIP is here, this ...

Smashing those UIs! #Week 28

Wow it's been so COLD this week. I hope where you guys are you're all doing well ~ make sure to stay warm! It actually hasn't snowed yet and I'm still waiting on that hoping to build some snowmen outside D:

Furniture store is about 80% complete! Here you can buy furniture for your house ^_^ we will be splitting this up properly though... there will be a furniture store and also a DIY store where you can buy walls, tiles, doors etc (will come later). The furniture will sell actual 'furni...

Happy New Year! #Week 27

Happy new year to everyone! 

I've calmed the furniture down slightly since last week in terms of the 'damage' for the first tier of items. I think this is a slightly more functional aesthetic. We have a lot more roof riles now as well which is super cute - I hope everyone likes these and it kind of took a while to tile up D: 

The UI re-design is in progress. Michel is the main one doing this and we have been pretty fast in this with a lot of major panels done (some of wh...

Christmas Update! #Week 26

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you're all very well and happy holidays to everyone ^_^ I hope you are all having a good time <3

Onto the weekly update! Substantial progress has been made on all areas actually in terms of cars, animations, weather effects and much more... let me elaborate a bit!

Currently, as you can see we have another car finished, the defender. I am hoping the next few public service cars will be finished shortly - double-decker bus, single-decker,  ...

Build Mode v0.2 #Week 25

Legs Update, Pub and New Car! #Week 24

Hello everyone! 

Another week, another update! The livestream is happening right now on Twitch so probably come take a look - https://www.twitch.tv/terryjinx. Apologies for not doing more livestreams I really need to get back into that more often, I'll make that more of a priority in the future D: I think the main issue I've been having with livestreams is mostly creating more content that isn't already somewh...
