This upcoming life sim from a former 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley dev finally ༺has a name and a release window, and we couldn't b🍃e more up for it.

Last year, we covered an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming life sim set in California from one of the developers that assi꧋sted with Stardew Valley's post-launch updates. At the time, the project didn't have a name or even a Steam page, but now, just a few months later, it has been given a title, and you can wishlist it now. 

Sunkissed City, created by Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee, looks like it'll be a city version of ConcernedApe's farming sim. Set in Apollo City, an "upbeat, sun-kissed seaside metropolis," Sunkissed City is full of "funky vibes" and quirky characters. Similar to other life sims, players will set out on a new life in the city, learning new skills, meeting new people, and helping to breathe life back into th🐎e area.

Unlike Stardew Valley, which saw the player character inheritinꦛg their late grandfather's farm, Sunkissed City's protagonist is a new hire for Pico corporation and their first task is to build relationships with Apollo City's community to spread the word of Pico's new eco-focused initiatives - an interesting concept for a life sim.

In terms of what you'll be getting up to in Sunkissed City, the game's Steam page reveals activities such as walking around the park, drinking coffee at the local café, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:riding bikes, taking photos of wildlife, fishing, hiking, befriending and dating the lo𒅌cals🐬, and if you fancy it, exploring the city's monster-infested sewers. Wait, what? 

The ga🌱me also has "endless, deep customization options," allowing players to become whoever they want to in the life sim. They'll even be able to pop into the local clothing store or salon to freshen up their look. This customization isn't limited to the player's appearance either, as home customization is also available in Sunkissed City - everything from wallpaper to flooring and furniture. 

Perhaps the most exciting, the upcoming game is set to feature both online and split-screen multiplayer modes. You'll also be able to cust๊omize each player's experience with difficulty and accessibility options. It really does sound like Mr. Podunkian has thought of everything.

Sunkissed City is expected to release on PC in "Q4 2024" so sometime between October and December this year - with a console releꩲase hopefully "soon thereafter." You can stay up to date with the project until then by wishlisting it on and following the developer on .

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie title𒆙s. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. 𝄹 My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
