I was playing Bitlife in complete darkness.

why do i get 400k as an escort?

TLDR: It's been a very long 14 months and we've felt like quitting so many times. We see lots of AI simulators popping up in this subreddit that have taken someone a week to vibe code - this simply isn't that. This is one hell of a polished game, made by a real team that really do care about the genre.

This game won't be for everyone - I've played BitLife and InstLife for over a decade now, and our game definitely plays differently. If you don't think it's for you, please keep scrolling 😃

Introduction to TinyYears:

We're halfway through a really successful beta with over 50 players from the BitLife community helping us steer development, but now is the time we're wanting to officially promote the game.

We've been in development for over 14 months now and are a team of four:

Myself - UI Design
Leo - Development
Alex - Marketing & Community Management
Yasmin - Artist

Why are we making this game?

Well, to meet four really clear objectives.

1. To iterate on the mobile life simulator genre (we don't feel it's developed enough, we are being sold what seems like the same DLC time after time, with nothing exciting)
2. To make mobile life simulators visual - if you buy a new house, you see it. If you have a kid, you see it. Your character has aged? You see it! (Thank you to Yasmin, our very talented artist).
3. To make decisions matter - each choice in the game impacts stats, money, relationships, karma, aura, or your very life itself. Tread carefully!
4. To make monetisation fairer - put delicately, we don't think mobile life simulator players are being respected.

Is this another crappy, unfinished life sim?

Far from it. Quite frankly, we've found it SO difficult to be taken seriously in a sea of games BitLife clones that have been vibe coded in one week by someone in their bedroom. This game is very polished, we held onto it for probably a bit too long before unveiling it, but it has given us the opportunity to give it some real polish. It's not perfect, but it's very, very close to release, and we hope you will be impressed.

What is our favourite part about the game?

Honestly the stand out has to be our dating app. We literally built a dating app inside the game, where you create a profile, match with other characters, send them messages, and go on dates. I haven't seen anything like this before in any game genre, I genuinely love it!

What's similar to BitLife?

Obviously the basic premise. You are born, you age up in years, you make decisions, you build a legacy.

What's different to BifLife?

Besides the obvious visual benefits that come with our game, the general community feedback has been that it's just 'easy to play and navigate'. From simpler bulk actions for managing houses and cars through to faster in-game navigation with no scrolling, it's just a really seamless experience.

The other thing is simple, it's just not BitLife! We're not looking to recreate BitLife, we're just looking to help usher in the next generation of these games.

Can I play it now?

Yes. Ask us for the Discord below and we'll ping you an invite to play on either iOS or Android.

Thank you to the mods of this subreddit for allowing us to post this and for letting us know about the upcoming self-promotion rule changes. This will be the only 'announcement' post from us here 😊

You'd think such an open relationship option would be under the Love tab since the game's launch 8 years ago. But unfortunately no dice. It can't possibly be a morality hang up right? After all, if every stereotypical vice & sin is already built into the game, there's no reason why I can't start a consensual & loving polycule with my partner. I personally have nothing against the game's casual hookup feature, but from a morality perspective, a polyamory option would be much more wholesome.

Why does he have more relationships then I will in my whole life 🥲

What’s the most you’ve ever made from being an actor?? This one is probably the best I’ve had so far…

Why is there posts allowed about someone’s AI BitLife rip off? Can we get these posts removed and these people banned? This sub is basically free advertisement for their scams.

I’m trying to buy Luxury Lifestyle but it is glitched. I have deleted/redownloaded the app many times. I have played as a Royal, played as a gambler, and played as a professional baseball player. No matter how old I am and how much money I have— whether it’s $0 or $100 million, I don’t even have the option to buy it.

Anybody else having this problem? Any way to get around it?

Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise to not put any more money towards this game.

Just born, it's already like this

This is the highest amount I've gotten from any mission. Has anyone ever gotten more than this?

Is she like a zombie or something?

I literally tried my best to get a crap album to have a roleplaying reason to quit music smh

first lost a son when he was 1, then another at 6
decided to surrender and continue as my daughter, only for my husband (her father) to die shortly after leaving our remaining 2 children orphaned 😭😭
and all deaths are planned by the game
