Hi there!

Thanks so much for all the kind words and comments about yesterday's sneak peek! We are super happy you like her and we think you will like what we have to show in today's video! Check it out!

Also, we already crushed our 12,000$ / month goal and are very close to the 16,500$ goal! It's incredible! That means we're going to start the hiring process to recruit an animator and a programmer. I really can't believe it!  The team and I are so thankful and excited about that!

Cheers!

While I could have preferred more realistic, i'm perfectly happy with how the parafolk look.

Holy crap that looks awesome!! The video was definitely better than just the sneak peak screenshots. You really get to see a lot more details. First I like to say I LOVE the creation process where you get to sculpt the bodies - it looks really well done! I love the physics of the hair too, and the different sections of the hair that you can dye as well as the dye color wheel. Maggie herself looks lovely. Was the humming in the beginning coming from her or you guys...? One suggestion I have though however is that I think the skin can definitely use more detail. Right now it pretty much just looks like a paint-bucket color fill. Details for things like her joints, shoulders, neck, and cleavage/chest detail too will really refine the appearances of the Parafolk. So far though exceptional job! I'm looking forward to more updates and improvements in the future.

A wonderful update to life simulation gameplay! This is what we've wanted for so long!

Anonymous

I know it’s still in early development but this is just my opinion. I’m not sure about the look. It looks weird and definitely not what I was expecting. I don’t like it. But maybe that’s because I’m so used to other simulation games and this will grow on me. It’s also still in early stages I get that. But I feel a little underwhelmed. You guys have done great and I’m very impressed with what a small team has created in this small amount of time. But I’m not inlove with the look of the parafolk. She looks like how barbie animations are on YouTube. Lifeless and empty. I pictured Maggie looking more vibrant and warm. But maybe I let my imagination run to much and put to much of a high standard on. The height looks weird, idk what about it but it does. This is just my honest constructive criticism. Not hate! And weather you take what I’m saying seriously or not is up to you. It’s your game! I’m just sharing my opinion! I’m just not sold yet on the look of the parafolk. But early stages I get that. Don’t be offended please I know the team has been working hard it’s just my opinion. I love the build mode so far and the lighting. Just my opinion!

Hi Maggie! A big thank you to the team for their constant hard work on this! I definitely wasn't expecting the parafolk reveal to be this soon. The hair and clothes physics are just awesome, but I do feel underwhelmed by the realism of the parafolk. The builds have been amazing but honestly, Maggie seems to a misfit in that beautiful and realistic environment mostly due to the lack of texture of the hair and skin, and the overly cartoonish facial features and clothing. Like a few others have pointed out, Maggie looks like a splash of single colour, with no depth or emotions to her, which hardly compliments with the graphics of the environment the team has been working on thus far. Of course, this is just the alpha version and I can't stress enough how grateful I am at the amount of work you guys are getting done in such short time! Hopefully, there will be improvements to the design of parafolks in the future. Love you guys and I can't wait to get a copy of the game when it releases.♡

My only comment is that I hope she becomes more realistic. It looks strange to have such an cartoonish character in such a beautiful, hyper-realistic space. I’m sure this will be fixed in later updates to the parafolk and I’m looking forward to it.

Anonymous

I really like the style! The only thing I would do something about *if* anything should be done at all is shadows on the skin as it makes her nose be a bit washed out and hard to see, but it might just be the saturation :) Otherwise I really like the style, and especially the customizability!!

I wish her face had any shadows. For now she looks like an anime character

I'm sure this isn't the final version of Parafolk. The game is still in development and will be for a while longer. I have no doubt they will make tweaks to her. This is just the initial reveal and honestly, I'm extremely impressed.

I don't really see how this is constructive at all tbh. You aren't saying what could be done to make you like it better, only what you hate and think looks weird. Personally I think she looks fantastic so far and I'm excited to see where this goes even further down the road.

I'm so happy for you guys! I wonder if we can name the outfits (which I love), do the Paras have an ability to change their clothing depending on their situations? For example, when they exercise, will they automatically change to exercising outfits?

Blackifan

that looks amazing

Anonymous

A couple critiques but either way it looks pretty gorgeous: 1. Maggie's skin looks slightly unrealistic especially her legs. They could use a little more shading and texturing to make it look less like a solid cartoon colour. 2. Maggie's hair looks slightly chunky, way more so than the original hair reveal. I'm sure they'll change this. 3. Maggie's facial features looked slightly unrealistic in comparison with real faces, hopefully there will be an option to change this. Other than that this was a GORGEOUS video and I'm so excited for the game <3.

nemo

I think everything looks great so far and I'm super excited! My main hope in this aspect is that as the Paramaker and the Parafolk are worked on it will be simple and look good to make fat Parafolk! That's a really frustrating part of games, especially life simulation games, when fat characters' only options are unnaturally ballooned with pregnant looking bellies or not actually fat at all lol.

Seeing her in motion has completely changed my mind. She looks great and totally fits in! Great job guys!

I have to say, seeing the video, seeing Maggie walk, seeing the HQ videos and pictures has completely changed my opinion. Yesterday, with the pictures released, I was worried that she looked too flat and 2D compared to her surroundings, but in the content that was released today, I think she looks amazing! I’m still not a HUGE fan of that brown line around her; especially on the lighter colour hairs, but other than that... I love her!

I am absolutely in love! And height sliders?! Yessssss

Angela

First off. It took me some time to warm up to Maggie. But now, I think I like her. The hair is great, especially in detail mode. I feel as though the model itself needs some skin and shading detail. Cause as is, she doesn't fit her environment. But I assume you already know this. Keep going! This team seems to be making good strides.

She looks amazing, I can't wait to see more. Also height sliders OMG, are they a thing that's confirmed confirmed? Or is it dependent on whether procedural animation works?

Not gonna lie the second I saw the height slider I almost cried. And again with the color wheel for the hair. 😌 I was gonna be a bit sad at so few hair colors (I forgot about the video with the hair colors) so when I saw that it made my heart really happy. Super excited for this game!!

I watched the video a few times and here’s what I think so far! 🙂 Pros: 1. I love how the hair and clothes move when the paras are in motion. 2. There’s a color wheel and height slider! 3. The animations seem very smooth so far! I loved how she had her foot propped up on the railing and that there was an option for her to sit on the dresser ❤️ Cons: 1. I’m not a huge fan of the black outlines around everything now. It takes away from the quality in a way. 2. Her skin could use more detail. I think adding highlights and shadows around the bust area, collarbone, face, legs, etc would make the characters pop and feel more lively. Just a bit more realistic appearance to match her environment. 3. Her clothes could be a bit more detailed as well. Overall I love all that you guys have accomplished so far! To be such a small team and be where you’re at now is amazing. The character so far looks good and I can’t wait to see how this game develops further over the next couple of months. Congrats for reaching both goals! When this pandemic gets situated I’ll be able to pledge more money. Please don’t take any of my criticism the wrong way please, I very much appreciate everything you guys are doing for the community. ❤️

I agree with this, I really like how she looks now, she could just use a bit more detailing in the skin. I didn't even notice the sitting on the dresser and her propping up her foot on the railing. I think they are such cool minor details that really bring the character and her surrounding environment to life!

I am so excited for you guys to expand your team!!! This is so wonderful, Maggie is gorgeous and y'all rlly crushed it with that height slider

Wow, the height slider really got me! Also very excited about the color palette and customization options. Also, it looks like there's an option to add outfits that I'm curious about

In build mode they have meters, feet/inches, bananas, etc. 😂 Hoping we'll be able to make parafolk 10 bananas tall!

I'm so impressed with the video reveal, I'm absolutely fine with Maggie's design. I never disliked, to begin with, but didn't care for the outline. However, with what you guys showed us I'm excited to buy this game once it's finished.

I love how the team is focusing on bringing the basic features the community was looking for on the "other game" like extreme personalization, heights... That must bring some technical difficulties for animations. I think animations are the most important part of graphics. Hope to see parafolks interacting with furniture soon.

I wasn't sure about the outlines, but it's growing on me. Loving all the customization I'm seeing. Also, sitting on the dresser??? <3 Congrats on already reaching the first two goals and can't wait to see more.

Love this art style. The ENB is awesome. It's way easier to really see it with this paralife. We Stan Maggie. Hope to see more about personality and relationship systems soon. I'm super excited about "politics" when dealing with relationships and attraction systems. [Edit: But this amazing. Simple but detailed enough to be interesting. CLASSIC style. I love classic. And it's kind of sophisticated. Chic. Nice.]

I love the level of customization and overall I thinks it's come a long way. My only criticisms is that the height sliding looks as though it changes the proportions of her entire body and not just her height. Also, her face look pretty flat and 2d, Like from the first preview yesterday and today her nose is nearly non existent from far away because of the lack of definition, I know it's early development and I do respect that. It s not hate, I love her overall just my opinion.

I must admit, I wasn’t sure about how much I liked the art style of the environment combined with the style of Maggie, but after watching the video I completely love it. It fits SO GOOD together. I am hyyyyyyped!!

I just hope that paralives are not family-friendly / child-friendly like The Sims 4. Each generation of the sims that went on, had more and more family-friendly content and that spoiled the franchise (in my opinion). (Family-friendly is a game adapted to be child-friendly, a "family" game). The sims 1 and the sims 2 were the least, the 1 had that black humor and the sims 2 had the sims with "fears", angry reactions, overreactions, sims went crazy, the stories of the sims 2 they were macabre and mysterious, realistic betrayals ... the sims 3 was a little family-friendly, but the sims 4 is the most family-friendly! Did the sims 4 remove all the personalities from the sims, where are those sims rebels from the sims 3 and the sims 2? The emotions were also very childish, the interactions ... the easy way to get money ... The Sims was better when it was a game for adults. In short, TS4 has become a very "perfect" game, where everyone is good, cool and easily successful. LIFE SIMULATION has been lost a lot. But the more public it has, the more money EA earns. So, leaving the game family-friendly, earns more money for EA. (Only thing they care ... Anyway, I hope that paralives will bring the essence of the sims back. But from the cartoon graphic, it looks like it will be family-friendly: /

After my lukewarm reception to the parafolk design yesterday, I didn't expect my mouth to drop seeing Maggie in motion. The hair and clothing movements, the animations, the height slider, all made this for me. I'm even coming around to the parafolk design now that I've seen it in motion. It doesn't look nearly as 2d as the pictures made it seem (though I'm still unsure about the outlines and still would like to see a bit more dimension). Going forward, I hope you guys keep the animation style and facial expressions more grounded and less over the top(as this video shows, charm can still be conveyed with subtlety). She feels more like an actual person and less like a caricature from a bad kids show. Great job guys, I'm impressed! :D

Congrats on making it to 20k guys!!!! I'm so so happy for you!!! this will be amazing

Simmons

I think it’s important to remember that Paralives is its own game and isn’t a replacement for the sims. Please don’t place the issues with EA on a small indie game. With that being said Paralives is aiming to have a rated T for Teen rating. It won’t have explicit content and will be more family friendly. However, the game will be welcoming to CC creators and modders so I’m sure you’ll be able to customize the game to be to your taste that way.

This looks awesome! Loving the customization already! I was wondering 2 things though, any chance we can also do highlights in hair? Like streaks and such. Also noticed we could see the height in meters (which is super duper awesome btw!) and I was wondering if we'll also be able to see it in feet? If not no big deal. Keep up the amazing work everyone!

Looking amazing and I'm sure she will be improved upon as time goes just like everything else. The only things that I think could be improved upon is the depth as she is looking a bit 2D at times and adding 3D lashes would help change this. Overall very pleased. Keep up the work. I'll be increasing my pledge as soon as I'm able to

I just upped my pledge because I believe in y'all. I would love to up it again in the future depending on how my financial situation is. It looks amazing and I can't wait. I know it'll probably be another year + but maaaan I'm exciting. Just as a building Sim it looks fantastic, but Maggie is so pretty!

BlackPiano

I, personally, really dislike the "cartoon" look. I'm seriously hoping that Paralives has alternate art looks. I really was disappointed in the art style for them . It looks like a mobile app. I am generally excited for a new simulation game especially if it has more options in it.

The game is still in early development so I'm sure they will improve over time. However, this game will support modders and cc so I'm sure you'll be able to change the aesthetic to however you want just like in other games that support cc.

Most creatives know how to do a little bit of everything. I'm mainly a video editor, but I also work with motion graphics and know the basics of animation. It doesn't mean I'm the best person for animating a character, but if I had to do something like that I would manage a good enough job. So I'm pretty sure both 3D artists working on the game at the moment would know enough to animate Maggie for this reveal. Doesn't mean they should be expected to animate the whole game. Also, didn't you say in another reply that you weren't supporting this game? Still I keep seeing more replies from you than anybody else XD

Anonymous

I was expecting something different because in Paralives the grass is 3D (unless they went backwards) and sways in the wind. Yet this character looks painted and 2D . There are several elements of the environment a 2D character just wont match. That is my problem. Not the art style.

Seeing the over 17k people who have liked the video on Twitter, I’m wondering if it might be a good idea to share a screenshot of your funding goal milestones on Twitter and maybe entice a few more to join Patreon. I really liked seeing the goals laid out like you did, as it gives people something to be excited and work towards. As someone who only joined Patreon a week ago, I think seeing something like that would have inspired me to join earlier.

Anonymous

I completely agree! Also (im sure its too early for this) but it would be great to know what the release projections would be based on the funding goals? Definitely would even entice current Patreons to increase their amount if (for example) reaching the 35k goal meant the game would release this year

I'm curious about the stretch goals. Would it be to hire more people or to implement certain features? For example, if you reach $40,000/month you could hire someone to make X objects or to get Y feature that you hadn't planned for. IDK, birds and rabbits as pets or something.

I agree with your comment :) However, it’s cool that we could adjust the proportions AFTER shortening them, since editing body parts won’t be an issue.

Has this whole thing helped bring some potential hires out of the fan base? Are there volunteers that you're interested in taking on as more interns or helpers with the development?

I’m sorry this isn’t really related, but I was wondering if the paras are going to have their own language like simlish, or an actual language like English or French or whatever. The thing I don’t really like about sims 4 is that the conversations are so boring because we don’t know what they’re actually talking about and all of the interactions are the same. Maybe instead of having interactions categorised into evil or friendly, and having access to all of the different interactions, they could be based on friendship level. I know they do something similar in sims 4, but it isn’t very well done. Perhaps when you first become friends or acquaintances with someone, you have a few conversation points, mostly small talk, (will become much more complex conversations as the relationship evolves) and the way you interact with them at the beginning could set the tone for the relationship (friendly things and compliments means they’re going to be friends, meaner things could make them enemies or just dislike each other). This could also tie in really nicely with traits. Every trait could lead paras to communicate differently. For example, awkward sims could be really bad at small talk, and it could be much harder for them to build relationships. Mean sims could be actually mean, and all of their interactions could range from being a little cold to flat out insulting. You get the idea. I don’t like that you can be enemies with someone and very easily turn into best friends in the sims 4. We want more realistic relationships! My last thing is, I want the relationships to take time to form (again traits could determine how long this takes) so it could take an entire year to become best friends with someone (maybe not that long but you get my point). Friendship groups, cliches, and large family gatherings are all things I’d love to see in paralives.

I know she is animated in some ways, but they don't have a dedicated animator on the team yet. Thankfully they are now able to do afford one due to the patreon donations! So I know they will animate the Paras's mouth movements when talking.

I absolutely love her 🥰, but....belly button?

One question: Will the parafolks open their wardrobes and dressers by hand? I noticed in Maggie’s video that she didn’t open the dresser with her hands, but of course I know the game is in development but these are the details that make a game perfect!

This might be kind of silly but I don't know if anyone has asked it before. But will there be a slider for hair length? Or something along those lines and I was also wondering the same thing about eyelashes as well as will there be a colour wheel for things like makeup, freckles, eyelashes, etc. Sorry if that sounds like a bit much. I was just wondering what all of the face adjustments will look like. I'd love to see a video on that next!

Personally think the youtubers you contacted are the reason you suddenly got so many patreons. It was very smart and you should keep doing that. Lots of simmers out there dont know about the project! I'm so excited!

First time doing Patreon and I’m really excited for the growth of this game! Seeing video from the paralives team from 10 months ago to Maggie’s loft is AMAZING progress. I have no doubt Maggie (who is already such a beaut) and all the fur babies will keep getting polished and perfected over time. Very very excited to offer my support! 💗

I just wanted to give huge props to the team here, I hope the devs see this - I loved this video. This is what made me finally decide to start supporting via patreon. The whole thing gave me mega Sims 1 vibes - the music, Maggie's humming!! - It felt so charming and detailed. I could see all of the love you have for Maggie. Well done Alex, Roxanne, Lea & Christine. Can't wait to see more!

the idea of a new amazing life sim game made me so excited ... and when I saw this video now... let's just say I jumped out of bed, ran to my desk, logged in to my laptop, opened patreon, signed in FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, searched Alex and immediately pledged so support this amazing game :D

why did you fire roxane, care to explain?

She is beautiful but a little too cartoon for me. I do not like the outline. I always download realistic cc to sims. So I'm a little disappointed.

You'll be able to enable/disable outlines in the game settings. :)

I just had to become a Patreon after I saw this video

Is the game gonna be free?

I still can't get over how beautiful the art style is! I hope with the paras all speaking gibberish, it will be possible to have a large variety of different voices to choose from! I can just imagine Maggie's gibberish matching the sweet honey voice in the video, or being raspy and tough, or sultry and deep, or or or.....

This is just amazing! Hopefully when it comes out I have a pc!
