VF3 Sneak Peek Discussion

This topic is closed for discussion, now that VF3 has been released. Please use the Discussion forum for VF3 for new discussions about the released game!

We've started a new series of sneak peeks for VF3 , and this is the place to discuss what you see there!

So improved gardening refers to us having to do even more janitoral stuff? Yay!

YAAASSSS IM SO HYPED

I am just hoping we can "play" the game more. While I like that it can progress offline (and that there is the option to pause that), I actually like to interact with my games. But after you first get started, there isn't much to do.

We're working hard on putting in more things to do while playing VF3. That's one of the reasons that we're still working on VF3, and it's not ready yet. We want it to be more fun to actually play.

YES FINALLY!!!

Can’t believe how enormous the heads are on the dark-skinned villagers!!
Anyone else curious about the dads nurturing the babies? Look forward to learn more about that.

It would be very cool to have the game available for putting under the Christmas tree!

(Need some new emojis)

All of the heads are that size (in both VF2 and VF3) on the screens that use the high-res images (Details, Adoption, etc.). The darker-skinned peeps are not different sizes compared to the lighter-skinned peeps.

Thanks, Barbara!
It’s good to know the size discrepancy is only due to the high resolution.

Hey wait! Skin tones? And was that a massage table in the preview you posted? Good grief! Those are big changes! Can't wait!

Wow, different skin tones and maybe some awesome new features?! Looks like my interest has returned. However, since I'm assuming it won't be out in 2018, I'll check back in the beginning of next year and hope it's released and will be released on PC soon after, as I'm just not a fan of playing it on my phone, unfortunately.

Thanks for the updates!

Skin tones? That's really cool! Thanks for updating! I'd also rather play it on PC though.

Is this still going to be completed by the first quarter or will it be extended again? Anxious to hear!

I will be waiting for the pc version as well, the version that I can purchase. IMHO there is not enough content in these VV games to make them worthy of being a free to play, I am used to the free to play games that take months or even a year or more to play through and along the way the devs add updates with new content, and events for all of the seasons or holidays.

Here are some things I am hoping for in the game:

1. Be able to name people
2. Have an unlimited number of kids.
3. If there still is the adoption option, be able to pick from a few adopted options.

Also, will the game be available from the Amazon Appstore like VF2?

We can't say how many platforms the game will be available on when it's first released, but we will certainly consider Amazon devices in the future!

Really happy about the different skin tones! Its good to know that in modern times, this game is inclusive.
Speaking of inclusive, was that the DAD nursing the baby!?
I really hope you keep the games free to play, i know it has taken a long time but im sure many people (including me) are unable to purchase games for real money. Please, please please keel it free!!
Cant wait, keep up the great work and i hope to see the first edition soon!

Yes, that was the dad taking care of the baby!

VF3 will be free to play, just like VF2. I've just posted an update on VF3 development that I hope will help everyone understand where we are with the game (and why we're so late). We are still hard at work on VF3!

It would be so cool if there was more of a map and or neighbourhood situation! Where you could take your peeps to the park or grocery store, and even make them drive or bike get take a taxi to thoughs places. Also it would be super awesome if the kids went to school and instead of the parents working at home day after day it would be so cool if they we to work outside of there house!

I so much love the update, every one of it! I can't stop smiling Thanks much!

Love you guys


Hydra and Samkkgamer786...Check it out!

Okay, let me share my opinions.
I used to look forward for VF3 only because i didn't have anything better to do. But seeing how they confirm addition of an appealing story makes me actually excited for the game.
Other features are also interesting. I liked the idea of visiting my friends' families as it would simulate the good old days when i used to play Farmville, Pet Society and stuff but i doubt any of my friends would play this That's what people here for i guess.

So, will you be able to choose the skin tone that you want your people to have, or will it be randomly selected for you? What about when you adopt a new child, will it be random or can you pick the skin color?

Also, can there be an option to change their name when you first get the people, no offense but your names are in most instances, ridiculous. Heh, heh!

Thanks for listening, as always!

I wish there were a boy and a girl themed options for baby stuff, like a crib, & a changing table for the bedroom, so that once the baby is out of mom’s arms, it would not have to move straight to a twin bed. In real life a 2-year-old’s room looks very different from a 6-year-old’s room, for example.

Any thoughts on being able to choose solid wall colors? In VF2 you are limited in how you can decorate each room based on the patterned wall paper that the game has permanently put in each room. This would allow for more freedom to use each room as we see fit & decorate using any color scheme we want. For example, the room with orange & brownish striped wall paper in VF2, does not look good using pink furniture for a girl’s room, so I have to cover the walls & windows (to hide the orange curtains, too) with the same blue & pink hearts poster all over, to make the children’s furniture look decent in that room. Does that make sense? Just like when selling a real home, the more basic the color story the easier that people can envision their belongings living in that house. If you left the rooms very basic it would force us to buy wall pictures, posters, bulletin boards, whatever, to decorate our homes. Just a suggestion.

I love this game & cannot WAIT for the VF3 version! I recently got the VF1 version & am playing them simultaneously because I love them so much! I’m at the point where I’ve done all I can do in them though, but I still love both of them! Thank you for a great game(s)!

Will there be a PC version of VF3? My husband and I were gifted an iPad for our 50th WA. So, should at least be able to play on that. Well, if I ever work out how to do that.

They said in this topic that there would be desktop versions of VF3, but they still haven't said when the game will be released.

Congrats on the 50th anniversary! That's wonderful! iPads are very easy to use, and LDW's games run great on them.

Thank you guys so much for this update! I don't mind waiting, as long as the game is the best it can be

VF3 looks amazing, and features has me excited. Thank y’all for taking time for quality. I always love your games and quality is always very important to me. New engine is very exciting too.

Still hoping for another classic vv, like a vv6.

Any new updates on VF3

Not yet, but I'm hoping there will be an update sometime this year.

Any new updates and bug fixes yet?

The game is still in public beta (Early Access). We don't yet have an estimate of when the game will be out of beta and released to everyone.

Beta testers will receive updates to the beta version as our development team makes them available on Google Play. The last beta update was at the end of last week.

I would like to make a suggestion for you guys to add boy with rainbow hair. So far in vf1&2 its always been just the girls. Having boys with it would be more interesting and new

More suggestions: the main focus is obviously your little people and I know the game is still in development, would be nice to see squirrel,deer or other wild like occasionally come on screen. and also bring back the butterflies and birds.

hair dye: our people come with different hair color it would be nice if (mainly when they are greying) if we could buy hair dye and then maybe as time goes on you have to re dye it like in real life

bunk beds: would take up less space and could look really nice

crib: no one walks around with a baby all day so letting it rest in a crib would make more sense especially since you guys haven't given us many ways to make money and the people always refusing to work or failing at it

swim wear: they can change into it when they go into the pools
