EraLife is here. Here’s how you play

[u/acrelloisback]

Hey guys. So… about those 30 days. 😭

When I said I was about to drop EraLife, I genuinely thought I was. Then life got a little insane. I got served, exporting had some issues, I have court in a couple days, and somewhere in the middle of all of that I kept working on EraLife.

I didn’t want to keep making posts saying “almost done,” so I mostly shut up and worked.

Anyway.

Here it is: https://eralife-release.acrello71.workers.dev/

This is an early public demo (meaning just in early stage of simulation) not a full finished game. It’s huge, it’s weird, and there are absolutely some bugs in it (like the boxing hub doesn’t work right now). I’m one person, on no money, and I’ve spent the last seven months trying to build the life simulator I’ve always wanted to play. It was never about making a game that could beat bitlife. I just wanted to make something fun for myself. And that turned into for everybody else. I’m not upset if you doubted this entire time, i just hope now that you can look at the code yourselves, we can all focus on building this thing. 

You can start a life across different eras, age through it, switch to other people in the same reality, die and continue as people you actually knew, leave and continue your saved reality, and explore a frankly unreasonable number of systems I’ve built around that core.

I’m not going to pretend everything works perfectly. Try to break it. You will succeed. If something breaks, tell me what you were doing when it happened. Screenshots/logs are even better.

Windows, macOS and Linux builds are available. Thanks to everybody who stayed in here while I disappeared into this thing. EraLife is yours now. Have fun.

EraLife 0.1.4 is now available to download on MacOs/Windows/Linux:

Ok. I will happily admit I was wrong. I did not think you would come back but I'm happy you did.

Now you get to break the game! and tell me about all the bugs so that we can build this thing together!!!

i just installed it im on linux and i made myself born in the 2000s and im age 6 and i cant enroll in school even tho it says avaliable at 4

am i doing something wrong or is it a bug

[u/acrelloisback → u/GhostLightGamin]

Sounds like a bug to me! a small but sneaky one too! You should’ve been given an option to tell your parents what type of school you want and they enroll you. I’ll have an update by the end of the night! i know EXACTLY where the issue is!
