Baffling that they canceled the project when the target audience for such a game is so hungry for something other than an EA product.
I woulda thought that Paradox would have the right stuff to do a Sims-esque game considering their experience with character driven emergent storytelling in Crusader Kings.

I have to imagine the game was a disaster for them to abandon it like they did. Given what Cities Skylines 2 was like at release, their standards must be in the basement.

They have all they need. We can only speculate why the fuck they stopped it.

When are they going to do something good with the White Wolf IP they bought?

They are too busy trying to kill it, as far as i can tell.

I think they made the right choice with that one, it looked horrible. Lifeless, no personality whatsoever… It was for the best.

Are there good videos or articles to demonstrate what you mean? I hadn’t even had heard of it, and now it’s canceled lol.

The game’s youtube channel has a lot of gameplay videos. If you want my opinion it looked like an uglier, jankier, poor man’s Sims 3 with none of the charm or humor from that series and I don’t think it would ever had much of a real chance against Sims, not without a few more years in development at the very least because even the gameplay videos from a couple months ago still have that “alpha” look to it.
