Creating a New House and a Paramaker Room (Patreon)

Hi there!

While the rest of the team is focusing on the Paramaker, Chloé is making progress on the art style of the houses, furniture and general environment since it’s her area of expertise.

Improving the art style of the environment  (For Patron only! Please don’t share)

Chloé has been tasked with making a house but not with the goal of using it in our town. It will instead be used to test improvements that we can bring to the art style of the game, mainly the houses, furniture and objects. This house project will act as a testing dummy to solidify the visual identity of Paralives and to make sure that it fits with the newly improved art style of the Parafolks.

Quick sketches that Chloé did for the house that she’ll be creating. She is now working on creating it in full 3D.

Some color swatch suggestions that Chloé came up with. Which one would you use for the house above?

Creating a room to edit your Para (For Patron only! Please don’t share)

Another task that Chloé has been working on is designing rooms that we could use when players want to modify their Parafolks. As you may know, in Paralives, we aim to allow players to edit their characters in place, in their own house, where they are at the moment, without any loading screen. But sometimes, players will be creating Parafolks before moving into a house so having a special room to edit characters in these cases is needed.

Goals for these rooms:

• Simple and not overfilled so that we can focus on the Para
• Well lit
• Cozy feeling

Here are some of the concept sketches that Chloé did so far to research ideas that we could bring to life.

Room #1

Note: photography related gameplay not confirmed at the moment.

Room #2

If you’re not sure how to dress today, just sit there and watch outside for a moment!

Room #3

Always good to have a full height mirror when trying outfits!

Please tell us which of these 3 rooms you prefer in the poll below. Don’t hesitate to share a comment if you have other ideas for fitting rooms that could be used in the Paramaker.

Take care everyone!
