Back on campus! Essential Tips for Thriving in Millennials!

[h3]Hey, Students![/h3]

That break felt like forever, but hey, every student has to hit the books at some point, right? The bell's rung, and it's time to dive back in!

Since holiday's officially over, let's clue you in on what's new in your class schedule this semester.

NEW PLAYER PERSPECTIVE

At first, the game was all about watching from above with its isometric, bird's-eye view. But to make you feel more like you're part of college life, we've added an option to switch to a third-person view.

Step right into the scene and feel the authentic college atmosphere!



LEARN TO PASS

Hit those lectures to ace your courses - it’s your call on how hard you grind!
Whether you're all-in, trading your social life for academia, or finding that sweet spot, is up to you. You can even catch some Zs in class - just don't think you'll get off scot-free.



HAVE FUN

But it's not just about studying. The campus is buzzing with folks eager to explore and do stuff. If dancing's your jam, join some after-school activities and master those moves. More into deep, cultural chats? The literary club's calling your name! And for the sports buffs, we've got you covered.
Grow and see student life from a fresh angle.



TAKE A BREAK

Hey, we're only human, and everybody needs to hit pause every so often. Think of it this way: muscles rest to get stronger, and your brain's no different – it needs downtime to refresh. Set aside time for some rest, whether it’s a solid nap or just a quick stop on the park bench.
Recharge and get ready for what's coming!



PAY YOUR FEE

Life's a mix of hitting the books, diving into activities, enjoying the fun times, and yep, handling the hustle. Tuition is not gonna cover itself – it's time to get your grind on! Cruise around campus and you'll find all kinds of gigs to pad your wallet, from sprucing up the place to spreading the word with flyers. Let's make it happen!



KEEP UP TO DATE

That wraps up today's lesson. We hope you've gained some insights about Millennials and that your return to our school was a pleasant one!

As always, we invite you to add Millennials to your Wishlist, and to visit our social media for the latest updates.

Student meetup in Millennials Devlog #3!

[h3]Hello, Millennials![/h3]

We know it's been a while since our last devlog, but we're back with an update on the recent progress made by our team. The development is still in full swing, and we're steadily approaching the creation of the first playable build. As a result, you can anticipate seeing more in-game content rather than just concept art.

Prepare yourself to meet some of the characters you'll encounter during your college adventure in the game.
Now, without further ado, let's proceed!

[h3]Animation[/h3]

We really want our campus to be vibrant and bustling with life, so you'll be able to encounter numerous students (NPCs) going about their day in various ways. Sometimes, you might stumble upon them engaging in passionate discussions.



[h3]Characters[/h3]

Meet Emilio Garcia, a potential friend you'll come across in the game. He's the friendliest guy you'll ever meet, thriving in social settings. However, according to a trusted source, romantic relationships might not be his strong suit. If you're seeking friendship, be prepared for loads of fun. But if you're after something more, well... patience is key for success!
As players, you can engage in conversations and build deeper relationships, including romantic ones. Discover the characters’ backstory, complete tasks together, participate in activities, and exchange items with friends.The type of relationship you choose to strengthen is entirely up to you.



Today, we won't reveal all the details about the FUN fraternity, but we can introduce you to its leader, Summer Olivetti. She is a unique individual, and not everyone will warm up to her as much as we do. However, if you decide to make her your friend, you'll embark on a journey of total calm and relaxation.. Leave behind the stresses of everyday life, grab your favorite paints, and let love&chill conquer the world.✌️



[h3]Fraternity[/h3]

To truly experience the vibe of the American college, you need something extra - don't just be a bookworm! Get out there and socialize with the crowd.

Join the POP fraternity and let the good times flow!

Fame and popularity? Here's your place! Don't worry about what others say about you; what's important is that they're talking. Rise above others, but be careful not to make enemies along the way to the top! Take control of your own path and strive for popularity!



[h3]Filling the world with fun stuff[/h3]

At Millennials, we’re dedicated to making the campus vibrant and diverse. We constantly work on designing new elements for the game that bring a sense of a lively and bustling world, filled with well-populated spaces.
To enhance the excitement, we've made sure that certain items in the game are interactive, enabling you to easily engage with them and enjoy additional moments of entertainment. We’ve all played our fair share of table tennis at college; it would be weird not to have it in our game.



[h3]Environment[/h3]

Looking for a peaceful study environment? Need a break from the hustle and bustle? In the dormitory, you can find a moment of tranquility. But if you're in the mood to socialize, you'll also meet fellow students engrossed in their daily activities. Whether you seek solitude or connection, the dormitory has got you covered.



Need a breath of fresh air? Explore the campus and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Millennials! To create a living world, we constantly work on attention to detail, whether it's outside or inside.



[h3]Mo-cap[/h3]

For all of you who stuck around till the very end, here's a little sneak peek of what we’re trying to achieve with motion capture. We’d like our characters to be expressive individuals, and nothing compares to having a human model for their expressions. We're keeping the details under wraps for now, but keep an eye out if you want to see more in the future!



[h3]Keep up to date[/h3]

Well, that's it for today’s devlog. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you had a great time with our little show.
As usual, we invite you to hop over to our Steam page and add us to your wishlist and follow us, so you won't miss any future devlogs.

Millennials update #2 – Character creator: customize your own college freshmen!

[h3]Hello, Millennials👨‍💻[/h3]

After our first development update, discussions raged like a storm. You've been very curious as to why we named our game Millennials, and we couldn't leave that question without a proper response. It happens to be a much wider topic than we thought, so we had to give you a more detailed answer. You'll find our explanation down below, so be sure to read till the end, not to miss it!

Before we proceed to the main course, I'd like to thank you guys for a warm welcome under our first devlog! Your feedback is always appreciated, so don't hesitate this time as well. For those who haven’t seen our trailer, you can watch it HERE.

As we’re constantly developing our game, today it’s time to show you a new set of features as an introduction to the game. Without wasting time, let's head to the update.



[h3]Character Creator[/h3]

Hey, you. Yes, you. Do you want to see something cool?

Take a look, it’s our latest invention – a Character Creator, where you can make and customize your own college freshmen! Don’t worry if you change your mind about their looks. You can modify him or her whenever you want while playing.
Remember that the character creator is still in the development phase, but we wanted to show you the first look at a few options this tool will bring to the game.
Character customization allows you to freely manipulate skin color, face attributes, hair color, makeup, tattoos, and more. Let your imagination run wild, and dive into the creation process.



[h3]Animations[/h3]

A set of good animations can truly breathe life into a video game. We still have a long way to go, but since the last devlog we’ve made some progress in teaching our NPCs to move. Look at the first glimpse of in-game movements and see how they walk, talk, dance, and even argue with each other.



[h3]Performance and recreation[/h3]

Last time we took you for a little walk through the arts faculty. Today, it’s time for a little chat about performance and recreation. Let me clarify, it’s Human Performance and Recreation. It’s a space for everything to do with movement, games, and exercise.



In Millennials, we care about sports, that's why we decided to let you choose what discipline appeals to you the most. Pick between rugby, basketball and more. Think whether you want to take part in regular classes or call out for a casual game.



[h3]Faculty Administration[/h3]

As a player, you’ll have to deal with some bureaucracy. In the life of every student, there comes a time when you have to visit the dean’s office. However, Administration faculty isn’t just that, it has an adjoining cafeteria which offers warm drinks and meals – as well as a nice spot for studying.,



[h3]Classroom[/h3]

What kind of student are you? Someone who passes the term by the skin of their teeth, or a conscientious teacher’s pet? Or maybe something in-between? I never missed a class but never got above a B+, sadly… It’s up to you to steer your freshman in the right direction, just keep in mind: without decent grades, you won’t succeed!



[h3]Activities[/h3]

Act like you know – for those who want to deepen skills related to theater, art, creativity, or improvisation we have something special. Consider joining “Theater and Arts club” and maybe you’ll be a future movie star.



[h3]Why Millennials and not Gen Z[/h3]

We’ve seen that many of you have been asking the same question: “Is this game really about Millennials?”. We understand the confusion, because judging solely by the trailer, the timeline doesn’t seem to be set in stone. Our game is set in the early 2000s, and the main point of it is to relive the memories of being a college student in that period. We know that the precise definition of when a generation begins and ends varies from source to source, but we can assure you that our team is doing their best to recreate this fascinating era. We want people of all ages to experience things that made this generation unique:
Y2K and the technological boom of mobile phones and gaming in general
The rise of internet and the humble beginnings of social media
The dominance of Pop and Hip-Hop in music industry
The bold and fancy fashion choices
The evolution of pop-culture and social communities.

So to sum up, the answer is “Yes” – the game is about Millennials. We hope that this clarifies things a bit and that the future updates will make more sense.


[h3]Keep up to date[/h3]

That would be it for today, guys. We hope that you liked our little showcase, and you’re ready for more in the future. We’d also like to know if choosing the early 2000s as the setting makes you more or less interested in our game as a whole – it is set in stone, but we’re always interested in hearing your feedback. If something remains unclear, catch us in the comment section below, we’ll try to answer as fast as possible.

If you want to keep up to date, remember to check our social media, join our discord sever and wishlist us on Steam – you won’t miss any future update this way.

Back to college we GO!

Frozen Way & Live Motion Games teams~


Millennials are here - Back to college we go! It's time for a NEW life-sim game!

Listen up, Millennials!

Believe it or not, this announcement has been a beast to type up! Especially with my mind consumed with enthusiasm as it is right now.
To let you feel what I feel, join me for the very first development update! Grab your books and focus. It’s time to go back to college with our NEW TRAILER!

[previewyoutube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4axI7RIKD0[/previewyoutube]

I hope you’re ready for today's concept art devlog, which focuses on general information about the game. This showcase will shed light on everything you need to know. Are you ready, class? Let’s go!



[h3]Millennials[/h3]

What is this all about?

Millennials is a Life Simulator game with an isometric camera view set in college inspired by American pop culture of the 90s and 00s. Create your college freshman – but look out, their future career depends solely on you. Want to become one of the cool kids, a rising star of the academic world, or an unmatched athlete? It’s all up to your imagination. Throughout 4 years of education, you will have a lot of time to choose the right path. With the wide variety of possible activities, stories and relationships, you’ll have your hands full.

[h3]Campus[/h3]

The campus is a large place divided into several areas. Try not to get lost, buddy! Let me lend you a hand. Today I’ll give you a map of the faculty of arts, but next time, I may not be around.



Improve your skills and stats by attending a bunch of different activities, such as classes in art, music, theater, and many more. Learning isn't everything! You'll be able to attend many club activities too. Below are examples of what the art class and the greenhouse looks like. Let us know which is your fav.



[h3]The Dormitory[/h3]

- Yaaaawn.
- Oh, tired already? No problem! I’m here to show you around. Let me take you to the dormitory. That's the place where you can rest!
Here all your problems will disappear. Play, party, sleep or read - spend your free time however you’d like. Socialize with other students, learn, and have fun! It’s up to you how you’ll spend your time.



[h3]Teachers[/h3]

To learn or not to learn? That is the question! Where would we be if the teachers didn’t keep a watchful eye on us?
Their passion for teaching is almost as important as our will to learn. Let me introduce you to our three professors who’ll lead you through classes in Art, Mathematics and Sport.



[h3]Food[/h3]

Last but not least, we have a sneak peek of what the food trucks will look like. We’re in the process of redesigning them, but the overall concept is the same. If you’re hungry, don't mind taking a bite of some tasty meal.



[h3]Discord[/h3]

However, before we end, it’s time for the news of a crucial matter!
Millennials Official Discord Server is NOW LIVE!
Join the community and be a part of our game development phase!
What’s left is to click the banner below and say hello, because you're all welcome!



[h3]Keep up to date[/h3]

That would be it for today, Millennials. The dust of trailer launch day is finally settling down, so let’s finish this development update on a high note. I hope you liked our concept show. We’re curious about your opinion, so feel free to let us know in the comments.
