We Now Have an Office!
Hey there,
Big news today regarding the Paralives team: we now have an office! To me, this is incredibly great because it means that the team will eventually be able to work together at the same place. We’ve been working from home since the start of the project because of the pandemic. We are now very lucky to have been vaccinated so we are slowly looking into starting to work at the office. Being able to meet and brainstorm together in person will be amazing and I’m looking forward to it!
After all, we are making a house building game so this office announcement wouldn’t be one without showing you the floor plan recreation in Paralives!
On the top, we have different rooms and each of them can contain 2 to 4 desks so there will be enough room for 12-15 people if we need (we are currently 8 and will soon be 10 people on the team). The big room at the bottom right will be our conference room where we can do meetings or even play new games or watch a movie at lunchtime or after work hours. Finally, in the bottom left corner, we have the kitchen.
This is the kitchen. The black wall is a black board so we can draw all kinds of stuff on it using chalk. The right white wall is empty so maybe we can paint a big Paralives mural on it eventually!
The conference room. There’s now a couch on the left. Black board wall on the back wall for more chalk drawings.
A few desks that we have started to set up. More will come.
You might recognize this piggy bank (left) from some Paralives screenshots (right). Well, now it’s in our office as well!
I’m really looking forward to decorating and furnishing the place as well as starting to work there with the whole team! Having an office is really special and makes our little company even more real. We are very grateful to you who have been supporting the project, allowing us to gather our coins in the piggy bank to afford this office. Thank you!
Have a great weekend,
Alex

YESSSSS!!! CONGRATS! I love the piggy bank😁😁
So excited for you guys!! Such a great milestone, congratulations!!! 🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤
Why did this make me want to shed a tear LOL? I have nothing in this but I'm overwhelmingly happy that something that you wanted to do came to fruition like this! Look at the beautiful workspace you have now for you, and the people who want to join you to accomplish the same goal! Yeah, I'm crying now LOL. So much love to you guys. And CONGRATULATIONS! <3
I love this! You guys are so great and deserve a proper workspace! Congrats on the new space! As always, looking forward to all of the updates/developments with this game! :D
Thank you everyone!
Congratulations! Incredibly happy for the Paralives Team!
I love this. Once upon a time you had an idea… now you have this. Inspirational
This makes me so happy
amazing! happy to see your progress and dedication to this project. V proud, indeed!
I’m so happy for yal!
Congrats!! Is it weird to say I’m proud of you guys? Because I’m totally proud of you guys :)
OMG this is amazing news, it's all coming togther slow but sure. Please update us with pics once the office is complete and you are all moved in <3
congrats! here’s to bigger and better things 🍾
Congrats! Now I want to have blackboard wall and chalk drawings in paralives too heh It's amazing that you have enough funds to rent an office space and pay all the workers too, it really shows just how much everyone wants to support paralives <3
Did you have to develop/tweak/add anything to make the floor plan, or are the games tools fleshed out enough that you were just able to do it?
We were able to make the floor plans with the build tools as-is, but the layout of our office is quite simple (simpler than the Chalet that we did before, for instance), so that wasn't too much trouble :)
It would be great if the Paralive Office was represented in the game in some capacity.
this office is so cozy and cute! congrats you guys! (would love to see this made in game too, like a place you can visit )
Congrats!
Looks at lower left room. Lol. Why stripper pole? Looks at kitchen photo. Ohh. It's square and totally not one. Still funny.
Yay im so glad you all get to work together!
Congratulations! Hope the office makes work much more convenient and getting close to more workers. Were happy for you 🤗
Congrats! Show us again once you've put your personal twists on it!
This office looks so cool! #workplacegoals
Congratulations. Also can't wait to see your progress on the Paramaker. the height slider has already got me hyped :) hopefully more patreons can join soon so more people can be hired ^^
I am soo excited for you all. And I can't wait to see what y'all create from y'all new office.
Congrats! That looks like an awesome space.
Congratulations!
I am glad for you 🥰 greetings from Germany 🖤
Congratulations!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳🥳🥳🥳
So proud of you guys :')
Yay so happy for you guys! :)
Congratulations!!
Congrats, I’m happy for you guys. I hope you get to start working in your office soon. :)
This is amazing ! ...Also what I'm getting from this is that Paralives needs a logo and/or mascot urgently, so you can start adding it to every room of this huge office ! (that Other Game™ has a green plumbob, for instance, so everything green and or diamond-shaped is immediately recognizable)
That would be neat! However, finding a good mascot or logo isn't something that we should do in a hurry, we really need to be sure we have the perfect fit. Sometimes I wonder if Doggo is in fact our mascot, but he might not be exactly that, haha
I’m so happy for you guys! I hope you do get to start working in the office! The game is coming along so quickly!
Congratulations!!!
Congrats on your new office!
Congratulations you guys . You guys work so hard you guys definitely deserve everything .
Please record footage so you can make a documentary about the development🥺 I absolutely love video game documentaries. Or dev vlogs!
That would be great, but we would need to hire an extra team just to do that, haha. Making the game takes almost all of our time, it'd be hard to fit extra hours to record or document everything. Maybe later on in the process!
My heart❤️
It looks so nice! Congrats!
Congrats! It looks awesome 😍
congrats, it's near paris ?
Hello! No, the office is in Montreal :) It's near a subway station and all kinds of awesome restaurants!
That’s so exciting for you guys!! Congrats!
Will you be hiring any others in the near future now you have an office?
