🎨 Paintings Done By Your Future Parafolks (Patreon)

Hi there,

Alex here! Today’s post is all about the painting skill in Paralives.

A bit of context first. For those who remember, last summer, we organized a Hackweek within the team. This is a special week where each member of the team can choose a project of their own to develop and complete in 5 days. Well, it was the second edition of the Paralives Hackweek last week and many great projects came out of it! I can’t wait to show all the cool things we made, starting today with Sonia’s Hackweek which was all about drawing illustrations for the paintings that your Paras will be able to create in the game! This post is for Patrons only so please don’t share it, thank you!

💌 Quick note: We signed and sent all 600 postcards to Patrons on the Hero and Legend tier this week! You should receive yours within the next few weeks, depending on where you are in the world!

The whole team signing lots and lots of postcards (oops, Andrei is out of the frame, sorry)! It’s always a fun couple of hours when we do that.

Let’s get back to our main topic for this post: paintings 👩‍🎨

Maggie will be the Parafolk who will be trying her hands at painting today.

At first, Maggie needed some practice and went for some sketches. Chloé created an easel that will be used for Parafolks who want to paint.

After having increased her skill level, Maggie went for a more challenging project. We have created a special automated animation that makes images appear overtime while the character paints. However, the animation of characters painting with a brush is still to be created by Alice.

Lastly, Maggie went for a beautiful and watery scene with ducks which is always a great subject for any painting, if you ask me.

Maggie is all done for today and she’s pretty happy with the results! I think she’ll be hanging these around her house or she might even try to sell one of them!

Sonia created a lot more illustrations, in different shapes, sizes and styles that your Parafolks will be able to do in the game:

Many more paintings are still to be created and added to the game. Modders will easily be able to add new ones as well.

It was a really good moment for me to see all of Sonia’s paintings coming to life inside the game and I hope you will enjoy watching your own Parafolks becoming artists!

Have a great weekend and take care 🍎✨

Alex
