Hey everyone!

Alex here today. I have one Paramaker thing, one build mode thing and one live mode thing to show you!


Video: Facial Hair Combinations

The video at the top of this post 🎥 is all about showing how you can combine various beards and mustaches in Paralives. Léa worked on this feature a while back and we wanted to show you how you will be able to customize facial hair to create the look you have in mind! Note that more beards and mustaches will be created before launch.


Build Mode Objects With Editable Text

Some of you might remember that a long time ago we showed a feature that lets you edit the text that appears on some objects in build mode. Today, we wanted to share a new look at this feature and how it allows you to get creative with different objects.

For this occasion, Chloé created a motivational poster and a front door rug. In build mode, there will be many objects that will support editable text. Just select the object and click the text button to change it to your liking.

Parafolks will be really motivated now.


When visiting Paras are overstaying their welcome, you might be tempted to change the front door’s rug…


Live Mode Animation Bugs

I thought you would like to see more funny bugs we got while working on live mode interactions and animations! It’s great to see Sebastian and Maggie dancing! Until they start partying a little bit too hard...

When you are dancing and it gets to your favorite part of the song.


When the Paramaker body customization sliders are messed up, the vibe of the whole game takes a different turn!


Have a great weekend and take care!

Alex

My beard is patchy and very low density. I see that all the examples showcased in the video are of very high density facial hairs. Will we have low density beards in the game as well? I understand that they are very performance expensive and hard to implement, because they require some complicated techniques using transparency and whatnot, but I never feel myself represented in ANY games (not only life simulators) because they never dare to create an ugly beard style. Yes, my beard is ugly. Yes, I'm better off shaving it. But I'm lazy so...

I love the look of everything I wonder if you guys could implement a scissor sound when selecting hair and facial hair? Really excited to see more stuff keep it up!

I am super excited about that facial hair and being able to mix and match it like that!

Will Paralives be available on Mac and PC?

Levi VonMarx

Curious on when a alpha build will be available for us.

Looks like the sims 5 was announced the other day and I think they showcased some of the features with building that look similar. I hope you guys are able to patent your stuff before the sims tries to take it and make you change the game again(idk if they can actually do this or not but they did it with the face dragging which every 3D sculptor uses on a daily basis so its certainly not new technology). I'm way more excited about this game than the sims 😂

I really hope they can protect the game and don’t let greedy EA get the final say

Yes that’s what has me worried. EA is a huge corporation and can hire expensive lawyers if needed. It would be easy for Paralives being a small Indy game to get the shortened of the stick. I’m 100% fine with the paralives team keeping features hidden from us until they get the necessary patents, or whatever so that their ideas and hardwork doesn’t get ripped off. It was obvious that EA was taking notes from paralives when they introduced “project Olympus” and that they will update the community throughout the game development. I’m not one who even likes bringing up EA because there’s space for both the sims and paralives to exist and excel in this space but EA is definitely taking notes

Do you mean Project "René" ? Project Olympus was the Sims 4

Luna

yeah, but the same guy that was in charge of Olympus is at charge of René so, i'm not worried at all. Ts5 will be multiplayer, so there's also the fact they'll have lots of restrictions Paralives won't have

I watched that EA stream announcing the Sims 5. Paralives was discussed in the comments, so I had to check it out and I´m so happy I did! I´m really excited about this game, it feels like a breath of fresh air. I love the aesthetics, really wasn´t a fan of the disneyish feel of the sims in the first place. And including cats, dogs and horses straight away , don´t you guys know you´re supposed to put them in an expansion pack and charge 40 bucks extra?! lol

Krayola

honestly this is just how i dance, nothing wrong here xD

Jeremy Dell

Any updates coming?? We are all excited for Paralives :/
