Will Vivaland be able to deliver the promised features and meet the players’ expectations?
As many of us know, The Sims franchise has continued to lead the way when it comes to life simulation games. Over the years, we have seen a number of different life simulation games aim to take what we know and love and put a new, fresh twist on it.
Now, while not all the proposed games reach an actual release, we have seen the likes of Paralives most recently gain notability within the community. There was also Project Vie but, yeah… We don’t talk about Project Vie anymore.
Now a new life simulation game is starting to get some attention. This latest in-development life simulation game comes under the name of Vivaland.
What is Vivaland?
Vivaland has been described as the first simulation game built with multiplayer in mind from the very start. Each and every household in Vivaland in controlled by players from around the world.
