Introducing Our Babies and Toddlers (Patreon)

Hello everyone, Sonia here!

Alice, Chloé, Léa and I are very excited to finally show you what we’ve been working on for the past month: babies and toddlers! This post concerns the visuals of babies and toddlers. Details regarding our plans for the gameplay related to them will come at a later time! 

It was very wholesome to gather so many references of cute toddlers wearing adorable clothes and walking around all funny... Our work on the Parafolks is always very inspired by the talented Lesly Oh’s illustrations. Here’s the one she did to help us with the design of our toddler:

Illustration by Lesly Oh and our main reference for what we wanted toddlers to look like in the game.

I could show you a lot of other adorable baby and toddler reference pics that helped us but I’m sure you care more about seeing the results so here are some screenshots:

Here’s a look at how children could look when growing up from babies to toddlers. How exciting is that? We still can’t confirm how aging will work or if it will be gradual though, stay tuned!

There are 2 different textures, one for the baby and one for the toddler. The two will share a lot of clothing with one another.

More hairstyles, clothes and facial presets will be available in the future, so you’ll be able to fully customize your babies and toddlers!

We hope you like how they look so far and that it fills your heart with cuteness!

Have a wonderful week!

Sonia
