Tutorial Screenshots
Dear Users,
Thank you very much for your continued support for The Good Life.
As we continue to monitor player feedback, one recurring theme we realized was the inability to revisit the tutorial text/information later in the game.
Unfortunately, the game does not contain a function that fixes this issue. As such, we would like to share some screenshots of the tutorial text here for your reference.
It may be a little inconvenient but we hope this will be helpful.
Apologies for the inconvenience and we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you very much for your continued support for The Good Life!

The Good Life to Release on October 15th, 2021
Hi all,
Swery, the creator of Deadly Premonition, D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die, and The Missing, and his team at White Owls, along with Yukio Futatsugi, creator of Panzer Dragoon, Phantom Dust, and CEO of Grounding Inc., have the pleasure of announcing that The Good Life is releasing on Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on October 15th, 2021.
Just a few more weeks before we see you in Rainy Woods!

Vegetarian Menu!
After last month's update, we got some feedback from backers who wanted to see some more vegetarian menu items, which we took to heart. It would be difficult for us to add a whole bunch of new items at this point, but we decided to add V marks next to items on the menu that are vegetarian, just like on real menus.
We weren't able to get to the level of detail necessary to work in a significant amount of proper vegan menu items, so we had to give up on that. But remember, this isn't the middle of London or San Francisco - it's Rainy Woods, a rural town out in the middle of nowhere! In that regard, we feel like we've been able to give out menus a proper dose of realism. And maybe we've even managed to create the first video game with a town that offers proper vegetarian menus...? We look forward to your feedback!
Message from PLAYISM
I remember when The Good Life was first announced, at a conference at PAX West way back in September 2017. I was at the conference myself, and ever since that moment I've been looking forward to the day the game would finally be released. I am extremely honored to once again receive the opportunity to work together on anther "Swery Game". We are going to put every effort into ensuring that players around the globe are able to play the best version of this game possible. We hope you'll bear with us till it's ready for release.

New Partner Announcement!

Dear backers,
As the release of The Good Life draws closer, we have some important news to share with everyone from whom we've received so much invaluable support for this project.
Today, we are excited to announce our new publishing partner: PLAYISM! We've worked with them in the past, and we're thrilled to partner up with them once again to bring The Good Life to as many players as possible.
While this means our collaboration with The Irregular Corporation will be coming to an end, the decision to part ways was mutual. The Irregular Corporation has been a great partner, and we appreciate all their support and input in bringing more Britishness to Rainy Woods.
Development is in its final stretch, and we're excited to get The Good Life into your hands this Fall, as we are putting our final, but required, last touches to the game.

Location, location, location!
This month, we'd like to introduce to you a bunch of the different locations you'll get to visit in The Good Life. Beautiful plains and lakes, mystical ruins and strange buildings... The Good Life is full of amazing locales! Also, if you compare this footage with footage from previous updates, you should be able to notice that we've added much more wildlife to the game, allowing you to enjoy Mother Nature even more!

There are also other locations in the game that we still have yet to show you, so we hope you're all excited to explore the world of The Good Life along with Naomi!
The Good Life's main theme song was nominated for Best Original Song at the GANG awards!
The Good Life's main theme song, "The Good Life," was nominated for Best Original Song at the 19th GANG awards! The award's winner will be announced at 5 PM on April 28th, 2021 (NA PST) during the Gang award broadcast on Twitch.
Hey folks, we wanted to start bringing our regular development news updates from our Kickstarter page for The Good Life here. These can sometimes be quite long updates or just small overviews, but they're pawesome either way!
We know this is going out in March but it is from February's Kickstarter update 😊
Team CAT and DOG Reactions
Our world is filled with cat and dog lovers. And of course, there are also some who love both equally! In The Good Life, the townspeople of Rainy Woods will give Naomi different reactions when she's a cat or dog based on what team they're on! Check the video for more info!
[previewyoutube="vY_Jdjgpm_E;full"]
But that's not all! Certain townspeople also run shops and restaurants in town, and will give Naomi a discount based on how much of a devotee she is to either Team CAT or Team DOG! We think this will add another layer of fun to the game, through allowing players to strategize based on which shops they use the most. Please be nice to everyone though, regardless of what team they're on!
The Good Life has a Steam page AND a publisher!
As 2020 comes to a close we wanted to share one final big announcement with you. We’re thrilled to announce we have partnered up with SWERY & White Owls to bring The Good Life to PC & Consoles in 2021!
Not only this but we have now made our brand new Steam page for The Good Life live! Drop us a wishlist if you’re excited to get your paws on the game.
Alongside today’s announcement we have a brand new trailer for you, and we have popped a small FAQ up on our website.
[previewyoutube="nrjGdHHXki4;full"] We’ll be expanding on the FAQ in the coming months , so please keep your questions coming in.
We cannot wait to show you some of the exciting things to come in the wonderful world of The Good Life, bring on 2021 and we will see you then! 🎉
