Tomodachi Life is a life simulation that was released in 2014 (in the West, and in 2013 in Japan) for the Nintendo 3DS console. Years later, Nintendo decided to prepare its sequel, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, described here.
The gameplay in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream may bring to mind the scheme developed for The Sims series . We start the game by creating Mii characters, which we either invent from scratch or model on members of our family, friends or even celebrities. The title allows us to decide on their gender and appearance, as well as dress them as we wish. In addition, we can customize their personalities and voices.
The actual game takes place on the island where the Mii lead their lives. The protagonists interact with other characters and spend their time in a variety of ways. The range of the latter depends on their characters or the opportunities they have at hand. The friendships they make play an important role; our head in this is to ensure that their relationships with other Mii are nurtured.
We can learn about the needs of our charges, as well as the problems they face, by peeking into their thoughts and looking at their statistics. If, on the other hand, we want a character to be in a different location, we just need to grab it and move it to the location we want.
The graphic design of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is kept in a low poly style. Both Mii and elements of the environment were made using a relatively small number of polygons.
