Summary

The Good Life, a Tropical Paradise Simulation, is a game that captures the spirit of a laid-back lifestyle in a visually stunning 3D tropical environment. Travel around with an impressive array of luxury vessels, while managing tourist campaigns and real estate business and completing missions on your way to becoming the area’s top tycoon.

Like so many, Derek Hales is fed up and is dreaming about ditching the nine-to-five lifestyle. When he learns that his late uncle made him the sole heir of “Carpe Diem Boats”, a boating company on the tropical complex of the Jo Jo islands, he doesn’t hesitate for a second. A new life awaits ! After a long voyage, he and his striking girlfriend Michelle Joyce finally arrive at their destination, enjoying the beautiful sunrise, with a Boating Company of their own. Compared to the dull office life, this new life looks much better. Finally but suddenly, life is good!

The game features a rare mix of Life and Ship simulation genres. Select one of six different ship types (taxi boat, sailboats, speedboats or yachts) that are unlocked as the game progresses.

You'll find ultra-realistic tropical water, both when sailing or diving, along with realistic weather conditions and a 24hr day/night cycle. Become an adept skipper and master the techniques to control your ship and take shelter in any harbor.

Experience vast, beautiful tropical locations, with more than 50 harbors and dozens of diverse places to explore, ranging from luxurious hotels to ancient cities and from picturesque beaches to mystical underwater worlds.

Play as Derek or Michelle and interact with your customers, persuading them to hire your boat. Buy and sell properties in ports, such as sun beds, apartments, bars, restaurants, beach houses, bungalows, villas and even hotels.

Seek treasures in the deep, rescue people from drowning, avoid pirate attacks, take part in photo safari excursions, avoid tornados, become rich and famous! Compete against nine other NPC skippers that try to gain more money, better reputation and ranking than you in becoming the tycoon of the JoJo Islands.
