The cancellation of Paradox Interactive's Life by You continues to resonate with fans, especially after recently surfaced screenshots revealed the game's significant progress.
Following Paradox Interactive's decision to cancel Life by You, images showcasing the game's development have appeared online. These screenshots, compiled on Twitter (X) by @SimMattically, were sourced from the portfolios of former developers, including Richard Kho, Eric Maki, and Chris Lewis. Lewis's GitHub page provides further insight into the animation, scripting, lighting, mod tools, shaders, and VFX work.
The released images offer a more detailed view of Life by You's potential. While not drastically different from the final gameplay trailer, fans noted several improvements. One fan commented on the disappointment of the cancellation, highlighting the game's unrealized potential.
The screenshots reveal impressive detail in character outfits, suggesting diverse weather and seasonal elements. Character customization appears extensive, featuring refined sliders and presets. The overall game world also boasts a richer, more immersive atmosphere than previously shown.
Paradox Interactive's Deputy CEO, Mattias Lilja, explained the cancellation, citing shortcomings in key areas and an uncertain path to a satisfactory release. CEO Fredrik Wester echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the team's hard work but acknowledging the infeasibility of reaching a desired quality within a reasonable timeframe.
The cancellation surprised many, considering the anticipation surrounding Life by You, a PC title intended to compete with EA's The Sims franchise. The abrupt halt in development led to the closure of Paradox Tectonic, the studio behind the project.
