Terrible graphics quality

[8c48696d]

The inflexibility of the characters and the inflexibility of their expressions and actions made me stop. The texture of the screen is almost the same as in Sims 4. It's 2023 now, and it's important to learn how to grow

Too soon yet to judge that. It's a long road and there isn't an early access launch yet.

the graphics might not look good to some right now, but it's currently in early beta, that's the one thing users keep ignoring when they look at this. it has only been almost 4 days since it dropped on the store and there is still 5 months until it releases on early access, that's plenty of time to make improvements between now and then.

Wait until early access and by that point you'll have some hard proof to play around with and from there you can make your decision, but for now it is indeed too early to make a judgement about it.

The devs are aware that the current graphics are not good. They are hiring a new 3D tech artist to redesign LBY's 3D models and graphics.

This was mainly for the OP. A lot of people coming to this discussion board complaining about the graphics even though it's already being addressed by the devs lol

They outsourced a lot of the modeling and animations, and they've been focusing on getting the core foundation of the game as solid as they can get. Since it's been about 4 years of development and now they're talking an early access release this year, I think we can assume that the foundation is pretty much in place and they can work on polish. This means improving the character models and animations, among other things.

I don't mind the graphics, but I do want to see facial animations and smoother animations in general for the Peeps. I want to be able to look at their faces when they interact.

They do exactly what we want: transparency! Showing us unfinished videos of an early test build, instead of a beautiful render trailer which has nothing to do with the actual game. This amount of transparency, this trust in their game that it can speak for itself, is truly recommandable, and I hope they follow up on this, despite a part of the community not understanding this yet.
There's nothing wrong with feedback, but doing a final judgement on a game this early on is... not advised. Worse, it sends the wrong message to publishers who try to do transparency.

Similiar to how you shouldn't blame Early Access games for bugs and jankiness, it feels wrong to blame a early testbuild for being unfinished and unpolished.

This. Frankly it looks better than Sims 4 does to me, perhaps a bit "low-budget Unity store asset" but better than 4.

Some users always assume the worst before assuming the best, you question them why they don't assume the best? it's like it never occurred to them. I don't mind having opinions so long as opinions are valid and fair and right now no one really knows much of anything and all they have is a misleading trailer trying to show what the game is about.

Unfortunately the trailer hasn't presented very well and has given the wrong impression generally. when one creates a bandwagon, everyone else will jump on it and go for a ride and often it's a pointless ride around the same area before they jump off. Unfortunately it's a fact of life these days.

I'd like to see customer giving the game the benefit of the doubt despite some protestations they may have and wait until they get a more complete picture of the game they are looking at playing and then they can do their own research with facts in hand. At that point it would be a fair observation if it was felt generally positive or negative and they can state actual reasons why.
