Happy Holidays + Paramaker Video Developer Commentary
Hi there!
What a week it has been. We were overwhelmed by the positive reactions and useful feedback following the Paramaker video reveal. Thank you so much for your incredible and continuous support! Also, a warm welcome to all the new Patrons, we are very happy to have you on board!
With the Holidays and after working very hard on the Paramaker and its showcase video, the Paralives team will be on a two weeks break so the next Patreon post and Discord developer chat event will be in the first week of January 2022. We’ll then be back to our regular weekly, exclusive, crispy and Patrons-only Patreon posts. We’re gonna use this short break to relax and come back in force with fresh eyes to work on the exciting things to come!
Paramaker Video: Developer Commentary
Previously, you might have met Maggie and Sebastian, our first townies. Now that the Paramaker is getting more and more flexible and complete, we are able to create more Townies!
This week’s video introduced Marvin. Colorful, artistic, charismatic and open minded, he’s well known and very respected by his neighbours. While walking around town you might often see him chatting with someone he crossed paths with. At home, Marvin has a family for which he cares deeply and is very proud of.
Speaking of new Townies, it’s hard to ignore Eli, our freshly introduced first child Townie. His adoptive father, Sebastian, got him a jacket that’s very similar to his and Eli just loved that! That’s why they had to both wear it for this week’s photo shoot. Eli and his father are new in town and are looking to start fresh after some hard moments of which the details are still unclear. Please greet them in the neighbourhood!
Tattoos, moles, scars, birthmarks and more can be placed on your Para’s body or face using this new tool that we first revealed in this week’s video. For instance, when selecting a tattoo, it will place it at a default position on the Para. You can then customize the placement in advanced mode. You will first need to choose a region: face, left arm, right arm, chest, back, left leg or right leg. Then, you can change the position, the scale and the rotation. All of these options combined should let you be really precise with your creativity or reproduction of a real life person! Those who would like to use the mod system will also be able to add custom tattoos, birthmarks or scars to the game.
Reminder: If you are on the $5 USD Elder tier or higher, you have access to a folder containing many Paralives wallpapers for your computer, phone or tablet. The folder has now been updated with captures from the latest Paramaker video.
🎄 Happy Holidays!
This being the last Patreon post of the year, we’d like to sincerely wish you a great holiday season and the very best for the new year to come! We hope it brings joy, health, great opportunities and success.
As for Paralives, let’s wish ourselves even more existing things to work on and to showcase! In 2021, we improved and shared a lot about the build mode and then the Paramaker. We’ll be switching our focus to the live mode so it will be really great to start sharing more info and sneak peeks showing how you will be able manage and play with the lives of your Parafolks in the simulation mode of the game!
Much love and cookies,
- Alex and the whole Paralives team ⛄🎿🍪

It's been amazing to support and watch this game development journey. And everyone looks great in the photo! I can feel the energy through the screen haha. Everyone's got really fun styles, love to see it. I don't know everyone's names, but green haired person, I love your style I want your whole ensemble /hj. Request for a similar shirt to be included in the game? Also, masks?
So exciting and fantastic :) Happy festive season to the Paralives team. :)
So in love with the Paras and their stories already <3
Can we vote in polls for Marvin and his family, like we did for Sebastian and Maggie’s name? I would really like Marvin’s family living on a house boat to be an option.
I’m getting more and more excited as each day passes

What a great year for Paralives' paramaker and build mode! Now with a full team of 10 working together in the office, I can only imagine how 2022 will go! Happy holidays team and make sure to rest well and get lots of quality time in 💜
Marvin reminds me of my immunology teacher lol He should be a college professor. Yes enjoy the holidays! You guys need the break after working so hard this year 💕 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and a happy new year!🎊🎈
Marvin looks amazing in that jacket and tie! Very classy! I love the clothing styles and the way they seem to add personality to the wearer!
Idk if you've decided yet but Marvin would make a great teacher! He seems like a fun person who could really engage with the kids
Yea, like a music or art teacher. (Maybe those could be one of the careers
I love Marvin! I have to say, I was ok with the sketch, comic book art style before but seeing it in the Paramaker overview it's really growing on me and I love all the features and details we've seen so far. I can't wait to see what's in store for Paralives next year and what you all cook up in live mode. May next year bring greatness and surprises in all the best ways! Happy Holidays! ✨☃✨

This could be entirely in my head, but I have to ask to clarify: Is the texture on the bald mustachioed man in the slider video different from the textures from the Parameters video? Mustache man looks much cleaner which I honestly like more, but if they're the same textures then how come they look different to me?
Maybe lighting? I would make sure the lighting in the Paramaker is a nice white light so everyone looks as clean as Mr Mustache
Everything is starting to come together in the most beautiful way well done everyone
Does the curvy Para with heterochromia have a name? She’s beautiful!
I thought they were Charlie remember them in earlier post but that's my guess
Well Done guys❤️❤️❤️
