But a bit I'm sceptic about funding projects which hasn't free testable version, the development is slow (they didn't release anything in this year so far), and the support membership prices is high (compared to others). The dev logs reveals how the concept is morphing through to an other game, as he wrotes a Sims 3 style game with free roaming on one big map to explore. And it seems dropped the UE4 engine, DAZ models and the citymaps and changed into UE5 and Metahuman, which means technically very little (or nothing) remains from the original Lifeplay. Also I'm not really convinced if the one of the highlighted feature is to players can spray graffities on the walls (Counterstrike knew this more than a decade ago).
Despite this facts the final product can be good or better if the developers put a sufficient effort into the project (and dare to publish a free demo version at least (they wrote the game isn't ready for this)), the question is when.
Thanks for the link. I've visited the Patreon, and it seems to me overly ambitious. Sims 3 open world style, with only 1 dev? I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think it would make more sense to concentrate on the interiors first, just like Vinfamy did, and even he was overwhelmed in the end.
Still, I hope I'm wrong and someday a game similar to this gets made.

I hadn’t thought about it in so much detail, thanks for the comment. I just wanted to share it thinking maybe someone would help in some way, even if not financially, and make this happen, because I don’t think there’s any game like this on the market. Wouldn’t it be amazing if a UE5 remake of this game was made with graphics and animations like in Wild Life?

Yes, the process is moving quite slowly. I don’t want to lose hope, I just wanted to share it because I saw that this person is working on it. Honestly, I’d really love to see a remake of this game.

If I'm willing to make comparison I compare technically with the Home Together. That game's dev focusing the animation and visuals, enviroment are limited to the house, so the similarity exist. Technically if I'm correct they using UE5 so can be a good base for a Lifeplay continuation project and if I had a wish I do mix the two game into one. An other choice is the Some Model Agency but there the development isn't going smoothly too. For me the playability matters, in Wild Life has any? Or everyone dl that huge pack of game because the the new animations?
