      There's a reason why not many devs do that. Software development is a really fragile process, you add one thing, and all other parts might not work well with the new stuff. I bet there're dedicated programmers for the showcase.
      Kind of like you need to use double-sided tapes to keep the furniture in place, film a video to show people how the house could look like. Things might break during the video, another fix, continue filming, and the tear things down because the fixes just gonna make things worse in the long run

      @@joaquinsantana6903 I used to think big companies do things a lot better. Then one time I saw the development history of several versions of Windows. Then I realised, we are all the same. Maybe they have a really extensive way of automated testing. But you can't follow that in every step. You figure things out by breaking things and making shitty prototypes, and hopefully throw that away and rebuild a better version of it.
      If you don't have time / budget, you wrap something on top of the shitty prototype and ship it.

    This is exactly the type of video we need to be seeing. I hope Christabella wasn't deleted and we can see her live on day 2 of her existence and doing more things such as finding a job, maybe shopping at the clothing store, gathering those shells and crafting. I think these types of videos are better than solitary feature videos because everyone has expectations based on one single franchise alone, and it can be hard to imagine things being different and how that will work. But I also very much appreciate Rod's transparency with talking about bugs, and which features are still in process and which ones are being overhauled. I also really appreciate him mentioning which things in the game he likes, and which furniture he thought is nice, etc. I'm very excited for this game and already have many plans for my first playthrough when September comes.

    - how many can be in a household ?
    - will pets got own "pet slots" or take up the slots of humans ?
    - is it possible to be a mean or really hated person ?
    - will the characters be able to recognize colors or other things (like body shapes , hair length) ?
    - is it possible to adjust the intelligence of a character ? ..... I hope it's possible to adjust the IQ from very low to very high

    Yeah I still don't know about this game 🤔 I wanted to adjust the camera angle and zoom the whole video lol, can we zoom IN? The Quests system is okay but what does the character WANT to do apart from have some fun (poor thing)? What are her goals and aspirations?? Why would she choose to do gardening vs something else? What hobbies are there, what's her personality and interests? What sort of job would she want to get if she got one? I get that it's early development but these are key things that need to be in place for a good lifesim.

Houses being a more realistic price, also amazing!

I didn't like this, that or the other and I started thinking id wasted my money. But then I watched this, omg I actually feel really excited about it, the way they park their cars, the way they can't drive if they've had alcohol, the lighting in the game is amazing.

      Even if EA pulled out their best The Sims 5 can never been anywhere near as good, simply because it's made for mobile as well. Games that are made for many systems always have to have massive compromises, and this one is even going to have to compromise for mobile phones. Even if EA put in a decent effort (which they just don't) The Sims 5 cannot be that good for this reason alone, let alone all the other reasons. And it's going to be aimed at 10 year olds anyway - just like the 'pretty' horses pack.

    Some minor criticism. Obviously the game isn't finished yet, but a few things to keep in mind. The bloom is a bit intense. Also, your system for occluding objects between the camera and the avatar could use some work. There were several times where you needed to fight with the camera to get a good view of the avatar. It would be beneficial to maybe make the objects go transparent or hidden entirely.

    • @laser__unicorn
      @laser__unicorn 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

      I think the entire lighting/shading needs to be reworked. The brights are too bright and the shadows too hard. The impression I have is that they started with the environments first and the lighting does indeed looks great for the trees and plants, but once the houses, objects and people were added that it started looking weird. I'm honestly very optimistic with the game, I'm sure they will rework he UI, body proportions and shading until launch as the graphics are often the last things to be finalised before launch and they haven't even finished the animations yet. Other than those pet-peeves, the gameplay looks very promising.

Thank you Rod for playing so we can see how it plays and admitting when there was a bit of a bug, instead of that other game who ignores it, while doing a live stream!
    I was amazed that your character was able to talk to someone, without 2 or 3 strangers coming up to join, that was a nice change!
    It does seem pretty realistic when you order something and it's delivered by someone in a fan, like Amazon or something, lol!
    But only real disappointment, was that we can't open the car door to get into the cars, I was hoping that we could, but I can get passed that!
    I am so much more interested in this game, then the new pack for TS4, I think I will use that $40 instead towards pre-ordering this game instead, it's more worth it!
    I love that right from the start we can get them a car, a job and house, even decide how much or how little money they have, all from where we make our characters! Plus I love that food and drinks have real names, not made up ones and it allows them to drink alcohol, not fruit juice! I hope that means we will have also soda pop, maybe even energy drinks, and other drinks for them! Also snacks like chips and donuts would be great!
    I hope that we will eventually get pets, and I mean normal pets too, at least to start with, just cats and dogs, and some pets in cages or tanks, like fish, hamsters, and lizards, plus birds! I really don't need horses in the game right now, since most people don't own horses, lol! TS4 apparently think it's more normal for people to have horses, rather then CARS!
    Also when that package was first delivered, it made me think of when we would get that special delivery from Rod in TS2, when we would get that new computer for free, with The Sims 3 on it, lol!

    awww the little details, that's something that keeps me playing.. Loving the conversations imagine talking to a powerfull IA we can have endless conversations with the humans in our city, walking to the cars... that was funny love it, hope to see more of these details and things that make the game unique. Thank you!

      Yeah, the inevitable ChatGPT Addon in Steam Workshop will be wild. 🤩
      Feed every fact about the characters in the discussion and their relations in the prompt and they would just talk and behave like humans. 🤯 Probably have to use your own API-Key due to the high costs.

    Absolutely love the gameplay and I hope to see more, because watching the cars and the humans walking around and driving around was amazing.. That's something I'm looking forward to just seeing the town come alive.

    LOVE this. I am so excited for this game I can't even tell you. Some highlights for me. Delivery drivers, roadside parking, buses, alcohol, being able to move objects during play, inventory system. I could go on and on. Such a full looking life sim experience and it's not even at early access stage yet! Well done guys 😊
    One thing I'd love to see though, online shopping (or any Internet related activity) having a user interface that looks like a web browser (houseflipper and gta5 do this). I was also a bit concerned that ordering from a restaurant seemed to include no interaction with restaurant staff. The plate appeared instantly, no waiter or cook. But it's early days and I imagine lots are designed to have base level function with or without staff?
