There's someone new on the team!
Hi!
This week, something really important happened on the team: we recruited someone new! Christine will be doing a part time internship on the Paralives team for the summer. She will take care of everything related to marketing and communications. So she will work on collecting ideas from everyone, replying to messages, plan and prepare social media posts and improve our web pages and social media platforms in general! In short, what that means is that with Christine's help, we hope to share more stuff about the game and collect more ideas :)
It's because of you and your support here on Patreon that we were able to recruit Christine on the team. Your money is directly used to increase the size of the team and we aim to hire more and more people in the future to help us make Paralives the best game it can be!
You can follow Christine on twitter here: https://twitter.com/ChriParalives
She will also join us on Discord so you will see her around if you like to hang out there!
Last week, we shared a bit more about the team and why we are making Paralives. The team and I were so happy to read everyone's story and learn about your passion for simulation games! It really connected with us and we feel so honored to be able to make a game that appeals to all of you!
So to complete last week's post, here's what Christine wrote about her!
It’s time we get to know each other! Like many of you, I was first drawn to Paralives because life simulation games were and still are a big interest of mine. I got into the Sims when the first serie was released and begged my sister to let me play. Needless to say, I became hooked for life. I absolutely thrived on recreating my (ideal?) life and being a troublemaker. As much as I love imagining things, I’m not an artistic person by any means (I can’t draw to save my life), so the game became my creative outlet and a place where I could escape real life.
I think my choice of academic field may have been influenced by life simulation games somehow. In university, I decided to study Consumer Science. I wanted to understand the needs, motives and personality traits of consumers (or Sims?) in order to make them happy. I also wanted to be able to express my creativity, not by building houses or creating characters, but by coming up with new ideas to keep everyone informed and excited.
When I discovered Paralives, I was instantly impressed. With all of its features, it dawned on me that my dream game was coming to life. However, what really reeled me in was the care that Alex, Roxane and Léa have for the game. Slowly, my dream game became my dream internship and I aim to perpetuate that care in my daily actions within Paralives. I’m really excited to join the team and can’t wait to see what the future holds. I can assure you, it looks bright for Paralives!
Have a great rest of the week and weekend! :)

I can relate so hard to this. I saved my lunch money for weeks in 7th grade just to get the Sims 1 deluxe edition. Can’t wait for what is to develop.

I can't help but notice that Alex likes to surround himself with the ladies :D But I'm so happy that the team grows and I am very hopeful for the future! Great to have your support on this project Christine and congrats on your internship!
Those are just the best people for the job. Women are probably under hired for job roles we deserve IRL. But that’s another subject.
This is amazing, welcome Christine :) You are much needed so that the devs can keep on working on actual development ! And I'm just so happy to see how many women are working on making this game happen.
Can‘t wait to see what you guys are coming up with! So exited

Hi Christine 💙🤓
Welcome and good luck, Christine!
It's so great to see the Paralives team (and following) growing. Hopefully this will also make things a bit easier on the rest of you, now that you don't have to focus as much on communications and keeping track of all the ideas.
Welcome Christine. Looking forward to your contributions and I'm glad the patreons' funding helped realize a paid internship for you. I can imagine it's not easy finding one, especially not in these corona times.
Wow an internship for your dream game! Congratulations to you
Welcome!! Glad you’re with us

Refreshing bit of news after that Eco Lifestyle recycled disaster.
