The Evolution of Life Simulation Games

We want to understand how you see life simulation games (such as The Sims, inZOI, and Paralives). Your perspective will help us build better

We’ve just released our survey on life simulation games, and we genuinely want to hear from you.

If you play or plan to play The Sims, inZOI, Paralives, or any game in this genre, your perspective is essential for understanding what truly makes these games special to you.

The survey is quick, direct, and designed to capture what actually matters: - what you love - what frustrates you - where fresh ideas are missing - and what the perfect life simulator would look like for you.

Your participation helps shape deeper, smarter, and more intentional experiences. The form is now open. Join in and be part of this journey: https://forms.gle/1cfdonq24SJJsFZ79

Hello friends! I would like to announce and welcome you to my new studio. I founded Boringverse Games to build my first Life Simulator, and I am gathering a group of talented artists to help me bring it from the realm of ideas into something concrete and real! I’m excited to share more with all of you: We’re building a Kinesthetic Simulation Game that explores the beauty of everyday life, celebrating the importance of each moment and the connections between individuals. In this game, you create and experience authentic stories in a vibrant, dynamic world where your choices directly impact the development of characters and the evolution of the environment. With innovative design and gameplay focused on original and emergent mechanics, our game will offer a unique experience full of emotional and narrative possibilities.

It’s been only a week, and our game already features time progression, volumetric clouds, cloud shadows, some weather effects, a seasons system, and an alternative wind system that changes in intensity depending on the time of day — and more.

We’re building something truly magical, and we’d love to have you with us on this journey. Come join our Discord server and be part of it all: Discord Server BoringVerse Games

November was an insane month of growth and production. I shared how my journey with inZOI began, from sending a 40-page document full of suggestions to watching many of them actually get implemented in the game. That exchange with the team pushed me further: I realized great designers aren’t mythical beings, just people who fail fast and evolve.

I decided to speed everything up. I finished three modeling courses, over 400 lessons, dove into procedural geometry, refined my Blender workflow, created prototypes, tested materials in Substance, and now I’m preparing for Maya animation and heavy programming studies. We migrated to Unity to make collaboration easier, and I fully embraced the mission of strengthening the team not just with ideas, but with action.

I also explained my frustration with current life-simulation games and how that pushed me to study AI, programming patterns, and deeper system design. I want a game that blends today’s technical lightness with the depth we had back in 2004. Along the way, I shared a short story that inspires me to create better processes now so we can save months later.

In the end, November became a giant lab: prototypes, studies, attempts, mistakes, successes, and a lot of long-term vision. I got my new drawing tablet and I’m preparing the ground to reveal some real updates over the next months. Thanks to everyone who’s been following and supporting this journey.

This is just one of the images I shared in my latest video showcasing more progress on our game, Project Etherea. In addition, you can check out one of the first animations I created featuring a human character, along with everything I learned over the course of a week studying and developing skills that will be crucial for the future of the game

We’re building a new life simulator, and I need your input.

I’m developing a simulation game focused on what truly matters: life actually happening. The concept is simple and powerful:

Smart autonomy for characters

Characters with routines, personality, and history

A world that’s alive (not just pretending to be)

But above all: simulation as the core of the experience.

Before moving into the next stage, I want to hear from you. Yes, you — the people who’ve known exactly what the genre has been missing for years.

I’m opening a quick survey to help define priorities, expectations, and direction.

💬 I want to know:

What do you consider essential in a good life simulator? Which mechanics actually make a difference? Where do you think The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 truly excelled in this area, and why?

The project is in its foundation phase. This is the moment when your voice genuinely matters.

👉 Come participate and learn more: HERE Let’s build this together from the very beginning.

Thank you!!
