Object Customization in Paralives (Patreon)

Hi there!

Here's a little preview of the next public sneak peek for Paralives! As usual, please keep it a secret between us until it's public :)

So, it's about object customization! I know a lot people are eager to hear about characters and gameplay. I started the game by focusing on build mode so that's why I have a lot of things to show related to building and placing objects. Expect to see some nice gameplay after Parafolks have been revealed. Still working on them at the moment!

1 - Flip!

When selected, some objects will have the option to be flipped. If a desk has a drawer on the left, you can flip it to switch it to the right. If a statue or a sign is pointing left, you can flip it to make it point to the right. Very useful for anything not symmetrical!

2 - Stack!

In Paralives, many objects can be stacked: plates, box shelves, crates, and even tables (but why would you do that)? This will allow you to place objects on top of each other very easily.

3 - Resize!

As you saw in the window resizing preview, a lot of objects can be resized in Paralives. Make shelves, tables, desks, beds, windows, carpets, TVs, couches and more the exact size you want!  As long as it's smaller than the size of 1 Texas.

4 - Change Colors and Patterns!

As you can see on the little toolbar in the screenshot above, you can change each color of an object individually. Clicking a color will open a color wheel and you will also be able to select colors from a premade list of nice swatches! This will be showcased in the future :)

5 - Change parts of an object!

You really like this drawer except the handles? No problem! Some objects have the option to change smaller parts like curtain pole finials, drawer pulls, bed frames and sheets separately, etc.

Take a look at some of these features in this very low resolution gif:

Thanks for reading this post and tell me if you think of other customization options you would like to see in Paralives!

Also, a big thank you to everyone who suggested objects in the previous Patreon post! The winner will be added to the game soon and will be shown in an upcoming post. But there are so many good ideas, I will certainly add many of them regardless!

Cheers! :)
