Take a Look at Previuosly Unseen Screenshots of Life by You

A collection of previously unpublished screenshots related to Life by You, a canceled life sim developed by Paradox Interactive, was posted on Twitter by a user known as SimMattically, showcasing the title's gameplay, developing characters, and various game locations. 

The fans in the comments to the Twitter post are upset over the shutting down of the unreleased game they could have enjoyed. Interestingly, some fans also note that the game's graphics, as seen from the newly published screenshots, significantly improved, which makes the cancellation even more sad and disappointing.

The images are posted by artists and developers who worked on the game, namely Richard Knoo, Eric Maki, and Chris Lewis. Richard Knoo, a 3D Game Artist, was engaged in designing the game's characters, using a comprehensive character avatar customization system and advanced rendering techniques. 

Also, the artist created some of the game's locations, featuring scene decorations and complex lighting schemes.

For instance, according to the artist's portfolio description, the image below is a "romantic night-time shot of Central Park Gazebo."

Eric Maki says that Life by You was supposed to have a focus on modability and creating the player's own story.

Chris Lewis, a Technical Artist, developed lighting, modder tools, shaders, VFX, and animations.

Life by You was initially announced in March 2023. The sim was predicted to be a major competitor to Sims, which has retained a leading position in the life simulation genre for decades. However, the game saw numerous delays and was regrettably canceled in June 2024.
