NACON and Shine Research have officially revealed the first gameplay footage for their upcoming title, ‘Architect Life: A House Design Simulator’. This innovative game invites players to embark on the journey of establishing their own architecture firm, blending creativity with strategic management.
The anticipation surrounding ‘Architect Life’ continues to build with its scheduled release across multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch, set for June 2025. This wide availability ensures that gaming enthusiasts across different consoles can indulge in the architectural delights that ‘Architect Life’ promises.
At the heart of ‘Architect Life’ are its two distinctive game modes: the structured ‘Career Mode’ and the liberating ‘Free Mode’. Career Mode presents players with 60 varied missions, each demanding creative problem-solving skills as players adhere to client specifications. Utilizing intuitive design tools, gamers customize walls and roofs while juggling constraints such as ensuring optimal heating systems in every room.
Alternatively, Free Mode offers a sandbox experience, granting players the freedom to craft their own architectural masterpieces without the limitations posed by client demands. This mode is ideal for those seeking to unleash their creativity and design their dream homes at their own pace.
The depth of gameplay extends beyond design, incorporating elements of management that require players to carefully choose their subcontractors, mitigate weather-related challenges, and ensure project budgets are maintained. This realistic touch adds complexity and immersion, simulating real-world architectural project management.
As players advance through the game, they’ll unlock new terrains to design on and bonuses within a progressive skill tree. This feature allows access to new construction techniques and materials, continually expanding the creative possibilities and technical challenges faced by players.
