This is the best new simulation game I've played all year! (Hometopia)

[@SatchOnSims]

AD As of September 18, Hometopia is no longer a free-to-play game due to the recent, unexpected change in Unity's pricing model to a pay-per-install basis. You can read more about the difficult decision the team had to make here twitter.com/HometopiaGame/status/1703802912101765597

damnit Unity

[@bkgrnd1337]

unity sucks now. was my fav game engine but they are thaking the ea% speedrun@@_k33l4n_

[@rai1578]

I'm still so mad about unity's recent decision. They're screwing over so many devs over with this.

[@NaturalAegyo]

FTP is awful for consumers. Buy the complete product if it's good and stop normalizing being nickeled and dimed to death.

[@HereGoesKevin]

Cuz the game sponsored him

[@uglen7420]

They paid him to do that

[@hmody360_2]

Also because it’s not the Sims 4🙂🤣🤣🤣

[@StanKween]

Cuz they paid for promotion duh

[@Pmccaff2009]

That's what a paid sponsorship will get you!

#ad I had so much fun playing Hometopia! You can wishlist the game on Steam now for its release on 27th September 2023 :) store.steampowered.com/app/1138640/Hometopia/

[@HereGoesKevin]

I don't know if your sponsorship with that game has a contract but if it's ever done can you give us an honest review of the game?

[@buddywriggles]

Heads up, looks like they just updated their pricing for the release. I assume you wouldn't have known that this was going to happen as they mention being blindsided, but just wanted to let you know

[@nabeelahhendricks95]

This is literally House Flipper but free. 😂 Still love it though. Another game for the collection.

[@iluvisa]

House flipper is free on phones btw

[@marlaacolee]

@@iluvisai used to play it on mobile all the time lol it’s worth it

[@CSG922]

Hey satch, just to let you know, there was just an announcement that the game is going to be $19.99 for early access. They had to switch to that model because of what Unity is doing. Hope this helps so that way there is no surprises!

[@deliriouscheeto]

I'm broke and as much as I appreciate free to play games, they always scare me bc I'm convinced there will be a lot of microtransactions later D: let's hope not or at least that they're not necessary!

[@SatchOnSims]

It won't have microtransactions as far as I'm aware :)

as someone who recently moved, the garbage bags are realistic. if anything, there's not enough of them. so much shit to throw away. and turns out, packing boxes are expensive, so stuff that's not fragile can just go in a garbage bag. that's how i packed all my clothes

[@steves9333]

the "terrifying teddy" that is probably supposed to be a British Bulldog :D

[@frauhund]

that looks like a lot of fun! but I mean, you make everything look fun! playing it in co-op could be wild haha

[@hometopiagame]

Co-op is really fun! Glad you like the game!

[@marleymarss]

When they were first developing their game, in the early stages, the developers talked about and were implementing Metaverse into the game. Talked about how the game was to be free to a certain extent, but if you wanted to go beyond that, players would pay with like their blockchain or some sort. It was all some kind a model. That was a little over a year ago. And they are even backed up by a metaverse company. However, I don't know if the developers dropped all the metaverse (the second time they changed their website, it was all about the metaverse more so than actually the game itself, very questionable to me at that time). Because 3 or 4 times, their changed their website and kept changing what is it in it for the players for this game. I say all this because of how iffy it was, to me. There are updates to the game yes, but it was all on discord and how the developers were not really giving the progress in other social media platforms much (very minimal). Well now, their huge announcement about the whole Unity thing going on now for once is important for any players to know. The game does look fun. But I'll be weary about this game. Then again, I could be totally wrong and how they have drastically changed their plans for this game. Which I understand that every games changes through time. But jesus, their communication was horrible at the start (on top that they first took it off steam after they were going the metaverse route and how players will be paying through their website to get the game. Then all the sudden they put it back on steam and with a 3rd website change). I hope I'm not sounding too negative, but this is what I have seen the growth of the game within over 2 years.

[@hometopiagame]

Hey! We briefly looked at incorporating blockchain tech back in 2022, but after listening to our community and their feedback, we decided the best path for Hometopia was to stick to a traditional gaming model without any metaverse whatsoever. Hometopia is now a premium game on Steam for 19.99 and our focus is on delivering the best gaming experience to our players - we hope you keep following the game and come back to play!

[@medusesurunpalmier]

yeah we're gonna need a whole series about this game !! looks so cool

[@suan333]

I loved you showed so much!! And i would love to watch some videos of it again!

[@SweetLala25]

This is a bit like Houseflipper and The Tenants but with it's own flare. I like it!

[@Kualinar]

Second job... You forget to take care of the mould issue. I detail that jumped on me but that many won't notice : The colour of things near the walls DO have an effect on the apparent tint of the wall, and near furniture. Look at 9:24 how that green plant affect the nearby wall.

[@RememberRox]

I've been DYING for another game like HouseFlipper

[@troyspencer753]

Awesome video! Sims 4 Dream home decorater could never... LOL 😂

[@TheElegantNinja]

Mechanics remind me of House Flipper but I love that it has an overhead camera. Vertigo friendly

Fly mode for the win!

Dude. I glanced at the title and I thought the game was called…✨ *HOMOPHOBIA* ✨

[@DuhAnimeProtagonist]

IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME! thanks for sharing satch!

[@mike-m123]

The way the auto-generated captions said "homotopia" at the beginning 🤣

[@Mixed_Activist]

I love the striped walls in elana’s bedroom! It’s obnoxious n colorful! I approve. Green red and blue are my fav colors.

Great review! The thing I love about your reviews is that YOU ARE A POSITIVE PERSON, you just don’t hand out your positivity to every single release or game. If you say it’s good, then we as your viewers know it’s good. Have a great day!

[@queendee8355]

I see new video from Satch, I watch immediately 😊🎉

[@shariking4392]

This is the second video I've seen for this game and it looks great!

[@bcray2548]

You had me at free. Ok I was already considering it from the start of the vid because this is definitely my type of game, but that definitely sold me.

[@RebekahBrewster]

Have you tried Big Ambitions? It's still early access but I'm hopeful. If they finish the job, it will be good. One thing I really like is that you can actually drive cars and get a ticket for parking illegally, damage your vehicle if you run into things, run out of gas, etc.

[@K8Simsley]

I have been playing this game all day. I think I am in love. ❤🥰 While not free, it is worth every penny!

[@amystroop384]

"Sir, what do you want from me?" I'm dying 🤣

[@birdieberry]

This looks to cool! It's like the Homtopia devs got the Power wash Simulator devs to hold their beers and made THIS. 😄

[@hometopiagame]

[@marielledelaine]

it seems kinda like House Flipper! Except so far in house flipper, you can't make new exterior walls, you can only work within the boundaries of the house's set exterior walls, but you can add or take away interior walls.

[@v1ku390]

House flipper is now getting a competitor also cant wait for house flipper 2

[@MandPKratz]

It's been sitting in my favourites for some time now, along with a bunch of other unreleased games, hoping it will make for a pleasant distraction

[@missbeehavingsim]

It looks fun but the graphis appear so outdated, like they're stuck in the year 2000

Save up for new PC parts instead! That PC is outdated twice over! It won't be running much at all, soon - and building your own PC isn't that hard! (I'm saying this as I'm 5 years behind and looking to upgrade, as things start slowing down on my PC ; ; )

I wonder if this game will be coming to consoles? I can't play games on my computer lol

[@Shadowthevampire]

I've tried this game multiple times as a beta tester and it was trash...because of allot of bugs and or poor quality of life things. Does that mean they have fixed those issue hrmmm? Otherwise I liked the idea of it, and the multiplayer aspects and the graphics but it was atleast last time I played it very poorly done in some areas. Those kind of (I want to throw out my pc trough the window) kind of frustrating when building. But if you like it maby they have fixed those now.

“Best game I played all year” *thanks for the sponsorship**** SMH yeah not fooling me when you get paid to promote it.

[@circuitd942]

I love your videos because I’m making a list of games that will replace sims for me. A game I grew up with and loved for many years. Since EA decided that milking that cow with complete disregard and respect for their customers and quality control it seams the hope this type of simulation gaming will only be done by someone other then EA. EA’s bottom line doesn’t allow them to spend on fun 😂

[@alvideos2145]

Looks fun. It's really weird to me though that people hire decorators to go spend YOUR money. Isn't decorating your own home like a womans favorite thing or something?
