Swery is considering releasing a (self-admittedly buggy) playable demo of The Good Life as per twitter.
edit:
The demo is due to be released shortly. In the mean time, I have just received an email with a 'commentary document'. Basically a small PDF manual about what to expect in the demo, as well as the controls etc.

I feel like the idea is if it gets picked up by the right streamers that's a bunch of new visibility.

We did our best to prepare this ASAP in order to grant everyone's wishes.
There are a bunch of bugs present in the build, but we hope you'll enjoy this chance to visit the world of The Good Life much earlier than scheduled!!
There are only 8 days left until the campaign ends!
You're free to use the demo as you please, so go ahead and share it with all your friends and all over the internet!
Please help us find more supporters. We're counting on you!
I Love You All!!

I'll ask a mod to change the title to make note of the playable prototype demo, but I kinda want to hear that it functions first.
I'm not at home and unable to check if it works right now. Can anyone report that it works.
If the demo is a good representation of the game, we should probably make a separate thread to promote it too.
Iashman already made a thread on it: https://www.resetera.com/threads/swery65s-the-good-life-prototype-demo-available-now.38537/
Experimenting with the Switch
We love the Nintendo Switch. And while we cannot commit to making a Switch version for now, our main programmer couldn't stop himself from doing a few experiments with our current build and the console. They have been surprisingly successful so far, much to the whole team's enjoyment... It gives us extra motivation and more drive than ever, and the will to make the campaign successful. I hope it excites you too!
European Language Support - ヨーロッパ言語への対応に関して

Hello supports and future supporters!
Thank you so much for cheering us on.
It's me, SWERY, the director of The Good Life.
Among all the comments, we've been getting a lot of requests for The Good Life to be translated into European languages. Currently the campaign page only lists Japanese and English, but we also intend to support subtitles in French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
We may be able to add more languages in the future depending on how the crowdfunding campaign goes and which partners join us, but currently we will be able to promise these 6: EFIGSJ.
So, European supporters, rest at ease! You will be able to play the game in a language that's closer to home for you.
The prototype has helped, and a few Swery advocates like Super Great Friend and Jim trying to give it more exposure since they want it to happen.
Thinking of doing the same.6 days left, guess I'll have to up my pledge soon. Hopefully my PS4 early bird slot goes to someone with a tight budget who couldn't otherwise have supported it.
It sounds like bad Britpop. Perfectly appropriate.Exactly the theme song i would expect from a game that revolves around a heinous murder.
Given the rush that happens in the last 5 days, I'd say it has about a 50:50 chance?
Yeah I'm hoping hard.Given the rush that happens in the last 5 days, I'd say it has about a 50:50 chance?
New hair looks great!
