What to Expect in 1.0 (and what to anticipate in upcoming updates)
Are you excited for the release of Mobile Life? Want to get your hands on the upcoming life simulator and curious as to all the features that are going to be coming on day one of release? Well this is the post for you!
Life Scenarios & Events (from child to elder)

Varying responses based on whether action was chosen through action list or while in a conversation

Basic World & Country Simulation

Countries may declare war
If in military, you may be drafted into the battlefield
Own houses, commercial properties, vehicles, pets, and assets (some with their very own unique interactions)
Challenge Games
A separate gameplay experience with a customized start, modified actions and events, quests, and custom UI theme
Completing quests will permanently unlock items that can be used in the core game
An introduction to a narrative that will unfold as the game receive updates
And what about future releases? Now we’re getting to the REAL exciting part. Here’s just a taste:
Political and Royalty simulation
Declare war
Change laws
Jail time
Escape from prison
Start a riot
Start a gang
SECRET FREE EXPANSION/UPDATE
Will expand the gameplay experience
Will explore more of the game’s narrative
Hint: some Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff
THE ENDGAME
Series of tasks and missions needed in order to reach the end
The conclusion to the game’s narrative
Modding functionality
Supplied mod tools (either in-app or via a separate application still undecided)
Load downloaded mods that will customize player experience (but disable leaderboards so no cheating!)
Events, Actions, and most game content is written in LUA. Documentation will be released along with modding tools so you can create events as complex and expansive as the ones in the core game.
Your suggestions (along with bug fixes from reports) will also be implemented with each update
And lastly since I want to be transparent here’s everything you need to know about the payment model (the in-app purchases and digital content):
Premium/Creative Mode can be purchased through a one-time purchase of $4.99 which will grant you the following:
Completely modify your starting life (birth location, gender, name, stats, and appearance)
Modify other NPC’s stats during play
Access to exotic animal store (Exotic and Wild animals will still be tameable via a wild encounter)
Ad-free experience
There will be an in-game currency, purchased through real money, called “Life Gems” and are used to permanently unlock clothing, interior designs, and more. These are NOT required to obtain these assets, purchasing with gems only ensures you don’t lose the assets when your character dies.
Personally I hate obtrusive ads that get in the way of your gameplay experience and do nothing but put some cents in my pocket and annoy you so ads will mostly be just banner ads and rewarded ads that will replenish your energy without progressing the season (+ a randomized boost of health, stats, or cash).
All future expansions and challenges will be included free of charge. No unnecessary spin offs. You’ll get to experience new ways of playing through the challenges. Next time an app comes out with the Mobile Life name it will either be a port to iOS or a full fledged sequel.
