Family Tree Poll + Chalet Update + New Postcard! (Patreon)
Content
Hello there!
I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a great time (for us Canadians it was back in October)! I'd like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the whole Paralives team, to thank you for your generous support and for believing in the project. We're incredibly grateful and we couldn't ask for a better community. Thank you!
New Postcard
We're preparing to send a new postcard signed by the team in December. Léa is currently working on an artwork for it and it's looking really good! We'll send it to every Patron who will be on the Hero or Legend tier on December 1st. If you are interested but are not ready to upgrade your pledge permanently, you can totally upgrade to the Hero or Legend tier until December 2 and downgrade back after that. Just be careful to update your address on your Patreon profile so we can send the postcard!
Here are some of the pictures that Patrons from around the world shared after we sent our first postcard back in August:
Chalet Update (For Patrons only. Please don't share.)
We're still working on the Canadian Chalet, a house that we'll build from scratch in a future video. Léa did some nice work on different floor plan configurations but we're still trying different things!
We'll do more tests and share progress as we go. Tell us if you have more ideas for this house! Aside from that, here's a few things that we still need to do before we are ready for this house building video (probably early next year):
- Improve the build mode user interface to make it pretty and easy to use
- Add more furniture and decoration options to the game
- Create more wall and floor textures to the game
- Polish some technical aspects related to the build tools
Family Tree Poll (For Patrons only. Please don't share.)
On the team, we often have brainstorming sessions to discuss different ideas and find innovative solutions for features to be added to the game. This week, we brainstormed about the family tree. We really want to add that feature in Paralives to allow players to see their whole in-game family and ancestors. We've got some nice ideas already but we wanted to ask you: what kind of features and options related to the family tree would you like to see in Paralives? Tell us in the comment section and maybe we can add some of these ideas to the game! Also, please vote in the poll below: are you looking to play the game with large families or only with a few Parafolks?
Cheers and take care!
Alex
