02Patch 1.01 note

Hi,

I’m Phil, the solo dev behind E1 and E2. Six years ago, I started making Everlife, the life sim I’d always wanted to play. Within months of launch, it had over a million downloads.

Then you started sharing your ideas on Discord, and I wanted to make them happen. So I did! More than fifty free updates later, there’s still nothing better than adding one of your suggestions and getting to reply, “Coming in the next update!” So swing by our Discord or say hi on your favorite social network and tell me what you’d love to see next.

Everlife 2 is much closer to the game I originally imagined. It took a lot of learning and hard work to get here, and I’m so excited for you to explore the new content, mechanics, and systems I’ve built. And rest assured, I’ve got many free updates and expansions planned, too.

Whether you’ve been here for six years or six seconds, thank you for being part of this. If you’re having fun, please tell a friend, share a screenshot, or leave a five-star review. It makes a HUGE difference!

Thanks again, and have fun!

With love,

Phil
