How Relationships are Defined in Paralives

came back to this and I have to say that I love this concept, Inzoi implemented something similar after this post was made but they just split the usual relationship bar into 3

i love how deep this system is! social interactions are really important to a life sim and paralives' label system looks AMAZING!

Love this!!!

So happy to see this!!! The possibilities will be nearly endless and it will allow for really unique situations, like not being super friendly with someone but confiding in them cuz of a shared history or something

I loved the ideas, I just hope, o a very personal oppinion, that the level system is a bite more hidden, since it is kindda strage to see "cooking buddies lv 5" XD But I undertand that it is a early stage and this can change :D

This is an amazing feature! Can you have enemy and lover at the same time?

I looove everything about this! Can’t wait to see this develop.

This is a literal game changer. By far my favorite feature yet

Such an amazing idea! I feel like this would also motivate me to build skills and to build relationships. It is also more realistic. Let's do it together because it will be faster and the result will be better. Love it!

Love this, I can see endless possibilities & it makes the relationships feel more personal and real. Only thing I'd change is the example "Close Friend + Lover = Life Partner" - it'd be nice to see a life partner option not involving romance for aromantic paras. But I get that was just an example! Super excited to play this game ^_^

I would Love a Friends with benefits Label xD

Amazing

I like the potential this brings to story telling. Like, having a ex that you're still in love with... That would be so great.

I love how the relationship system looks so far, especially the idea of 2-sided relationships! It reminds me a bit of Tomodachi Life, which despite being repetitive felt very replayable in part due to this type of relationship system on top of its overall weirdness. Just wanted to leave off with saying you guys are doing amazing from what I can tell and thank you!

I would love to be able to see open relationship styles natively in game without need for mods

Roger is baaack lol

I love the system, the idea looks amazing and complex enough to have different kind os relationships. Is it going to be possible to have different romantic relationships labels with different people like friendships?

I love everything about this!!! <3

Ahhh! Looks like so much fun!!! This complexity and ability to progress on relationships is what I've wanted in a life sim. Khaya's idea to have a professional-customer relationship is great. I'd like to have also more hobby related buddies, and family relations gone bad. Also relations spesific to certain ages like favourite parent or elder's caretaker.

you can add a state id for that

21 or over mod expansions pack

You going to add Mod expancane pack. sorry not very good at spelling

This is much better than what I was expecting!

this is so cool! can't wait for my paras to be cooking/baking buddies with their grandparents 🥰 i would def love to see "friends with benefits" or even something like "sidepiece" to stir up some drama 😈

Oooo, we can Fusion Ha! relationship labels! Excitingggg!

I love this. Hopefully there'll be also comfort person 👀

Mindblowing!! Every post just gets me more excited for the game! I love your approach and the way you question what has been the norm in life sim games until now and improve on it! I love the realism the relationship system, real life relationships are dynamic and complex and I love that will be a possibility to play with. As far as relationship labels I think it would be interesting to have some formal/relationships that would make some sims feel awkward if they met in public, like guidance counselor, therapist, doctor, divorce lawyer, school dean/principal, financial advisor, (these would depend on careers of course.) and it would depend how they react depending on personality, shy vs extrovert etc.

The ability for a Para to be polyamorous would be wonderful.

I'd love to see friends with benefits.

Please have boy/girlfriends and exes.

Love, love, LOVE that you're included one-sided relationships. It makes for far more realism to have relationships where one person feels more strongly about the other or even maybe one person liking/loving a person but that person not liking them at all.

This is so cool! I'm so excited for this game and the storytelling I can do with it 🥺

I love this so fkn much!!!!! What an amazing concept to bring to life in this game!!! I know it's hard/was hard/will be hard (lol) to accomplish, but that's going to bring such an amazing dynamic to the gameplay that I've never personally seen before. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I adore this concept for relationship building! It feels so much more realistic and has a lot of room for storytelling and game-play! <3

I would love for there to be some traits that we can apply to Paras, that would immediately apply a relationship label to specific/all Paras. For example, a Para with the trait "Mayor" or "Celebrity" or "Attractive" or "Evil" would affect what kind of relationship label others get for them. Celebrity trait might equal "Fan" relationship label for other Paras. They would then have unique interactions they could do with each other, or react uniquely to that Para. This kind of setup would make it really easy for us to mod historical neighbourhoods in the future ;)

the secret crush would be so cute for story-telling

I am very curious about what traits/personalities will cause certain parafolk to like or dislike each other. I hope the player doesn't have that much control over that; as in I hope that a parafolk will dislike another parafolk no matter how much they interact.

This is so awesome! I'm really excited about the storytelling possibilities that labels opens up. It also makes it easier to return to a game after a period of not playing and remember exactly where characters are at and where you are in a story. :) I'm excited to see how the rebellious teens work with labels. Some teens may be rebellious but have, or end up having a good relationship with their parent(s) while others might end up not having such a good relationship with them into adulthood.

This is so cool!! This is gonna be so fun to experiment and play around with! I’d love to see if paras could develop jealousy or admiration towards a particular para depending on their relationship and to see how they affect those relationships.

Oh wow I love this!! One of the things I've felt has been missing from so many big name sim games is asymmetrical relationships. Can't wait to play with it!

god im so exited for this game

This is sooooooo what I’ve longed for in LSGames relationships. I love this concept so very much. Thank you ParalivesTeam 🫶. This means a big deal to me and I’m sure the same to many others as well.

This concept is so exciting!

This is super interesting and has SO much potential for storytelling! I particularly love the "secret crush" label. I feel like I'm gonna be playing with that a lot, hehe. ^_^

this is absolutely outstanding, i LOVE this concept! seconding the desire for polyamorous and open relationships, for (queer-)platonic relationships that aren't treated as "less than" romantic relationships, and custom labels. i also hope there will be genderneutral versions of all labels (sibling, parent, spouse, nibling, etc.) and maybe the option to edit the names of labels in general? i vaguely remember you guys showcasing the option to edit text in the menu(?) some time back. there are definitely relationship labels that are commonly used that i would like to be able to adjust - for example i personally really, really dislike the phrase "friends with benefits", and i'd love to be able to relabel that, if that makes sense? anyway, very much looking forward to the upcoming details!! have a great weekend everyone x

I noticed that.... the rooms shown in this post... they have ceilings....... u can tell because of the lighting hehe. does that mean we're close to seeing how ceilings and the roofing tools will work? :D

Every time I think you guys can't surprise me anymore you go and do something like this. I loved so much this ideia. This one-side relationship is perfect too!!

I loooove this idea! I've always wanted more complex, dynamic and unique relationships in a life sim game! Some sort of labels that I would like to see are Jogging Buddy, Affectionate Friendship,Self-Improvement Partner, stuff like that. :) Very exciting! I can't wait to play the finished game! You guys are doing so great!

Oh man this is so amazing. I can already see how I’m gonna play my paras

With every post I get more and more excited for this game! You guys are amazing! Keep up the amazing work

I really like this idea, it allows for more varies relationships than just friend, best friend etc. Some people have mentioned relationship decay and I agree that in other games, it can get annoying to constantly maintain them, that being said, not contacting someone for a really long time must have an effect on the relationship right? Maybe the stronger the relationship, the less the relationship decays and maybe if they have been friends in the past, it would be a lot easier to revive the relationship because they are being influenced by past memories. I'm just rambling now, but I really like what is being done here.

Really liking this as a concept! I do wonder how it works when someone is school/work buddy and then your para ages out/leaves school or work. Will they still be able to level up in that regard by reminiscing about shared experiences at that school/job or would it be forever stuck at the level? Do some labels eventually disappear? I assume there are some requirements for a label to be applied to a relationship with another para, but it'd be weird if there's a gazillion labels on a para they spend a lot of time together with. Saw some great suggestions in the other comments, but was wondering if there'll also be labels/indicators for birth parents, biological parents/siblings/other relatives and adoptive parents/siblings/other relatives? I'm aware that some adoptees see their adoptive family as their "real" family and might object to the adoptive label, whereas others might have bad experiences and would rather use adoptive than actual parents and so on. Could be tricky. Oh and similar for step-family. Another suggestion: would it be possible for paras or players to designate other paras as "friendzoned" and "soulmate"? If friendzoned then it'd never develop into a romantic relationship (exception might be a really slowburn with lots of support and occasional romantic attempt from the friendzoned para) and if designated as soulmate then they could seek out the soulmate for ultimate (romantic) happiness yet also be contend with a romantic relationship with a non-soulmate. This could also "liven up" the free will aspect and having some influence in paras' lives you're not actively playing with as a player (and not fear they'll end up with someone you don't want when you've left them unattended for an in-game year).

oh my gosh this is so cool. Thank you so much for such an interesting and unique take on inter-character relationships, I LOVE this. One-sided relationships! Interesting stories! Yes and yes and yes! Also, please tell me there's a friend + lover = "Friends with Benefits" combo label 😂 I can't remember if you have talked before about if there will be some kind of attraction system, but I'd be very interested to know how that plays into developing these labels. Like if a para finds another para who hits their attraction markers, could they "check out" and get an instant one-sided crush? I'm also very interested to see how personality traits will play into this. What would cause a para to be a "mean" ex versus an "old lover" versus a "friendly ex"? How will it effect friendships and the relationship labels that can be developed there? ... Yeah, I'm going to need a lot more information please haha.

This is so fresh and exciting!! IM IN LOVE! 😍😭👏🏻👏🏻 Thankyou so much team! I’m so so proud to of supported you guys for 3 years I think now and the progress is AMAZING! Keep it up. I love the relationship system so much! ✨

I love the idea of relations being different and having different factors that affect each one!

Hi Jérémie, I love where you are going with this, just a heads up though, it isn't confident (this means being confident), what you mean is confidante ;) (one who you trust to confide in). But overall, I honestly love what @Fran Smith suggested, this will make this game stand out above all others <3 You all are doing an amazing job and I am so glad to be a patreon through the whole progress and beyond ;)

Love this 💚

Like wow omg this game keep getting better and better this game deserves all the attention. So excited for SOME BIG REVEALs hopefully very soon . Can’t wait to how pregnancies, Marriages work in the game .

This sounds amazing! I really hope to see step-parents / parents and in laws.

This is fabulous! Getting away from numeric counters (always was just unrealistic and naff) for relationships is fabulous! Once again you guys have come up with something that goes against the norm and flips it on it's head to be more realistic!! This will really be an icon game in years to come! I love the idea of labels. Of course other games use them, too, but using them as a main system that affects every Para and makes them unique is just awesome! Plus it gives the player choice on how they want to play the character, but goals at the same time. Truly inciteful and very clever. And enables one sided relationships. And every Para will play differently because they will all have different interactions available with different people and in the world depending upon these labels, right? I've run out of adjectives!! A couple ideas: Sometimes relationships change dramatically - a lover turns into an enemy, a best friend does something unforgivable and becomes hated. You mentioned that the labels will be permanent. I kind of agree with the dislike for decaying labels (best friends don't decay to acquaintances, and good old friends remain good old friends, even if they don't see each other often) and I like the idea that labels can be kind of suspended. But sometimes they also utterly change. Will that be included in the dynamics? Random ideas: car pool relationships, dog walkers (people either walking dogs together or end up going to the dog enclosure at the park at the same time and strike up a park acquaintance, shopping companions, various clubs (knitting/yoga/book/play (children play while adults chat)/game club etc, neighbours (noisy/friendly/messy (dislike messy yard etc)/social (coffee and chat at each other's houses etc)/rival (kick over each others garbage bin like Sims 2 kind of dislike). I know it's not planned, but if you do introduce separate money in the future, I'd like to play flatmates. I flatted a lot in my younger years and most of my flatmates (and those observed!) fell into some basic categories: Flatmate (that's it): live in the same house, but no real benefit (and none to the label either) Companionable flatmates: watch TV together, cook meals together, chat, get on well (label benefits perhaps when they clean or cook together, they clean faster, perhaps it's more enjoyable when, at home, they watch TV or do stuff together) Rival flatmates: some sort of jealousy, (label advantages and disadvantages - when things go well for the rival - flatmate is jealous, when things go badly for the rival, flatmate is secretly pleased) Flatmates with benefits (I'm sure you know what this is) Flatmate friends - really friends who go out together and share friends (labels - they get extra advantages on top of the others) And of course, Ex-flatmate - could still be friends/acquaintances or a suspended type label. With careers (particularly if careers develop beyond rabbit holes in the future), there could be a slew of various labels for these, and not just for workmates. In shops/restaurants - favourite customers, police - regular criminals ('nice' criminal/police hater etc, teachers (if you ever have realistic schools) - student relationships (the student from hell, the teacher pleaser, the daydreamer, the struggler who tries hard, the smart student who doesn't, the smart-ass, the joker, the whinger, the student who doesn't listen, the slow student who is always last ready, the curious student who always asks awkward questions, and a lot more. I'm biased here, of course, since I'm a teacher myself. If these labels become too many, perhaps they could only appear either when the Para is at work or when the other Para is in the vicinity. Or perhaps there could be tabs in that relationships window - close friends (default)/family/regular friends/work/acquaintances. Paras could have community acquaintance relationships - at the local shop where a Para always buys their milk, the gym etc, which could be affected by service/friendliness etc. The player can choose whether to further these into real friendships. These are people we like, often chat generally to, have a good relationship with, but just not a close one. And of course, there are lover/ex-lover relationships. Ex-lovers could end up friends, be cordial, be distant, dislike each other, end up rivals. This game is shaping up to be special!

I'm completely amazed and excited that you guys have chosen to take such a dynamic route with relationships. I genuinely cannot wait to explore every aspect when the game comes out. It's definitely true - I wished for more than just really basic relationships, but I didn't realise it would be attainable or even a goal of yours to do this. I'm so happy everything counts separately and can get intertwined into one phenomenal individual. I'm ecstatic, and I cannot wait for all the varying options and relationship types. Thank you so much for doing well beyond the minimum - this game won't just be great, it will be ground-breaking and become the backbone for all future development of simulation games. <3

I have loved everything coming out of the brains of y'all for this game, but this is by far the most exciting and differentiating feature so far! I always found the game which should not be named to be very restrictive in relationship terms so it would be weird when the cheating husband's new boo was actually the best friend and suddenly the character was trying to beat on the best friend. Nah, it's complicated!

I love these concepts, especially the combos! I'm also wondering if these systems mean it will be simple to do things such as polyamorous romantic relationships?

I hope to see a platonic & queerplatonic crush and relationship. Aro parafolks could also have something in terms of friend with benefits (but of course, can be applied to any parafolk!). I would like to see a labels that are based on relationships of other Sims, i.e. parafolk has best friend and little sibling, the sibling and parafolk's best friend could have labels "XXX little brother" & "XXX best friend" and therefore they could have unique interactions - like maybe the best friend would look after the sibling of his friend or the sibling would often tell their older sibling's best friend some emberassing things about them.. I would also like group labels - three best friends having the "three musketeers" label, or maybe a "XXX crew" for few parafolks with same interest... I also feel like this could be used for polyamorous relationships - Parafolks would have with each other the label that would determine their relationship (so you can go in detail of three way relationship or one parafolk being in love with two and those other having with each other "XXX partner") - same way, you can handle their kids, who could have different labels to each partner. To end this, I would also find cool if we got "you are like my brother" and so on labels

A friends with benefits or relationship with no strings attached would be cool.

This sounds amazing! I don't know quite what the limits are but here are a couple of things I thought: - 'Favourite child'/ 'Golden child' - 'Brother from another mother'/ 'sister from another mister' - Protective big sis/ big brother - Old friend - Found family? It would be really interesting if, once paras have a close enough relationship, they could start to consider each other 'family'. I'm really interested in how labels will change and develop overtime. For example, say Roger looks up to Jason, and the relationship is labelled 'idol'. What would happen if Roger and Jason get to know each other better, and become close friends? Would the label change to reflect that? After all, Roger might no longer 'idolise' Jason because he now knows Jason a lot better! So many possibilities! Also petition for 'Moustache' man to be called something like 'Mo Stache'. He's too iconic for a normal name! EDIT: because I keep thinking of new ideas now! Seriously, such an exciting way to design relationships, I can't stop thinking about it! - 'The One That Got Away' - maybe for a crush, or romantic interest that just never went any further. Perhaps, the para finds themselves thinking about 'The One That Got Away' sometimes and feels wistful/ sad. Maybe they 'want' to reach out to this person again... - 'Bad influence' - that one friend who brings out the chaotic worst in you... ;P Okay I'll stop adding new ideas now xD

I am Blown away TAKE MY MONEY NOW, this makes me want to upgrade my pledge! I would love "Childhood friend" maybe someone you have a lot of affection for but is not ur bestie, "Fun friend"a aka friend with benefit but i think it's "lovers" since we stay PG, or maybe just "aquaintance", WOULD LOVE FOR AN OPTION TO DEFINE RELATIONSHIPS LABELS PRE-PLAYING

This is so good.

As others have said above, I am SO excited to see how this will work with Paras' personalities! It seems like the possibilities are endless, and this truly makes for unique Para experiences and gameplay/story opportunities. It's amazing. As someone whose only knowledge of game design and development comes from these posts, I would be VERY interested to learn about the technical side of this - how do you make it work? How do the levels increase or decrease? I hope we will be able to learn more in a future Patreon post! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!

Brb I need to just scream with excitement for a minute, this is AMAZING

My relationship label with this functionality is "Extremely in love". This is full of potential ! I'm so happy to learn about gameplay mechanics like this one, which shows that Paralives is customizable and flexible not just in aesthetics, but also in gameplay. The Combos Labels are super interesting and hint at a very layered system ; with just 10 labels you already have about 100 different combos, if I understood correctly. This is properly insane, and by insane I mean exciting. Will we be able to create our own labels ? That said, I'm also terrified for my future Paras, who will have to have the "so, what are we ?!" conversation a lot XD

Oh I love this idea! Especially the one-sided feelings (although that’s sad sometimes 😭). Can‘t wait to play it! This will make a unique experience ❤️

I love the labels thing! That's so original and fun and makes one of the most interesting life sim game mechanics (relationships) that much more engaging!

Another label idea, a para could be labeled as a mentor, who offers guidance and skills to another para. Also, some paras may not have a father, mother, grandparent or are only children so they can form unique relationships with other paras with labels such as, “like a father/mother” or “like a sister/brother”.

I'd like to see emotion labels, e.g., Bob accidentally farts loudly (or something else embarrassing) in front of acquaintance Sally. Bob gains an embarrassment label regarding Sally. (Sally may or may not have a related label for Bob). Bob may then be awkward and have a slower time building friendship labels with Sally until that label is reduced then removed (via time or through positive interactions depending on how high the embarrassment label got).

this is so cool omg

I love all of this!

Another vote for polyamory if at all possible!! I always love starting a dynasty with making my family lol. I know it’s more complex though, just want to indicate the interest existing!

👋🇧🇷 hi Jeremie. Eu amei o conceito de camadas. Isso torna as relações tão únicas e motivadoras. A cada postagem fico muito entusiasmado com Paralives.

I like this a lot. This labels based system works a lot better for relationships than I think it worked in the needs system.

Hi Jérémie! This concept is so unique! I love it. The many storytelling possibilities I see with these labels feel endless, my gosh. My excitement for Paralives grows greater with each update. Thank you for sharing with us and I can't wait to see more. Great job Parateam!

Oh I adore this in so many ways. I love a good enemies to lovers so I gotta throw out that I'd love a specific combo tag for two that hate each other but also delevep a romantic attraction. So much fun to be had with this system though, I'm super intrigued and can't wait to hear more!

It’s just wow. It seems so cool that is crazy it wasn’t thought before. It gives more ideas for stories, like opening a bakery with a baking buddy or have just “dog buddies” from when you go to walk the dog and meet paras at the park. Also for the anonymous love letters would be could if we can confess to the other para we were the authors and get a big love boost or a strong ghosting lol. Or also make other para ask them what they think about you so you know if it’s worth to confess or not lol

This is simply amazing. I can't wait to hear more and, of course, play with paras! Thank you.

Mentor? Could that be a label? If you have them around, maybe the Para could feel more motivated to get things done. Or occassionally remember advice from their mentor which would motivated them in the moment of memory. Just a thought 🤔

This idea seems very refreshing to me so I say yay to it ^^ Also fond of the one-sided label part, two Paras being able to think and feel different about each other adds more complexity and layeredness to their relationship, behaviour, and gameplay/story opportunities for us as a player, which is always a good thing :D

I know comparison is always ugly (although I remark that it's the second time that a Paralives Patreon post coincides with a teaser video from Life by You), but at the moment Paralives is my definite winner, leading in graphics (the style is just the best combo of cartoonish and real), complexity and realism, and the fact that it does not seem focussed on recreating the life of California's suburbia. I like how it is shaping to be a much more mature game than the competition. Of course, LbU has the budget, scale, and that awesome new dialogue system on its side - and a somewhat clearer release date. When I see Para, I still see an excellent concept with a year or two of development before even early access. But I hope I will be proven wrong (I wouldn't be a Patron if I didn't).

I love this!!! The labels are such a great idea! And not having it all both ways is amazing! Sometimes friendships are one way only and not, oh yah were best friends because we've interacted for a few hours.

I really love this mechanic!😍 I especially love all the role playing potential of having multifaceted relationships, rather than a relationship just being good or bad. I’m really excited for Paras to have these more situational relationships based on their personalities and history!🤩

That is SOOOO COOL

Will polyamory be a mechanic?

Omg! This is so awesome and realistic! The only thing I can think to add to this already awesome thing is have a negative score, like in the enemy ones. Say an old friend betrayed the selected para and their level is now in the negative, making it hard to forgive them or go back to the way it was. But either way I think this new system is genius and perfect for the game.

I'd love to have a "love at first sight" dynamic where a para falls madly in love with their "soulmate" and from then on just wants to be with that para, regardless of what we want them to do, lol. It would happen rarely, not to everyone, and just once for that para when it does occur.

u guys are gonna be so rich haha this is so awesome

Relationship labels sound really promising, consider me intrigued!

Love all efforts towards making each Para a unique experience 💖💖💖

I think it'd be interestingto have some label be more 'marked' if something happened between the paras, like, mom para yells at daughter para and daughter para has a loving mother label but also a abusive mother label at the same time and the labels change levels depending on how they treat each other but the abusive mother label never fades. Hope that makes sense...

My mind is literally blown away this is so exciting I need to take a break from work and just think about this like 🤯

Oh, what a unique and awesome way to define relationships! Creates a lot of possible combos and keeping things unique, loving this!!

I love this!! Such amazing work you guys!

"Mean Ex," yessss. Cue the drama. Would we also be able to get interactions that coincide with labels like "Ex Best Friend?" I don't always want a crap ton of drama, but unrequited love and friendships, as well as family, friends, and romantic partners betraying trust (cheating, gossiping, starting rumors, etc.) and causing negative labels and game play (interactions) would be amazing. It's boring not having true consequences if cheating or betrayal happens. I also want to see if interactions will unlock correctly for labels that are added by modding.

Amazing!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a game

I stopped reading the post every 30 seconds just to freak outtttt, mannnnnnn this looks INCREDIBLE, I cant express in english how amazing is this sistem. VELHO, TAQUIPARIU ISSO TA MUITO INCRIVELMENTE MARAVILHO, UMA LAVA E SECA OU A MAIS TOP GELADEIRA BRASTEMP NÃO CHEGA AO NÍVEL DE INCRIVEL QUE TA ESSE SISTEMA, MANO MANO MANO NÃO CONSIGO ME AGUENTARRRRRR

It could be cool if there was a "doting/overbearing grandmother" or a "fun aunt/uncle"! The grandmother would try to sneak their grandkids gifts and treats and the fun aunt/uncle could maybe be a combo label to unlock!

It sounds awesome already!! It would really be fun if we can have friends through mutual interests like, "Lord of the Rings" fans, or "Harry Potter" fans.

Will this game be available to mac users?

i love this! i do have a question though; how long would it take for paras to develop a unique relationship label? i wouldn’t want paras to bake together once and then immediately develop the “baking buddies” label

Oh my! This sounds absolutely like an amazing thing!

I'm interested to see how this would interact with Para's chosen personalities... I enjoy drama in my game relationships, so disagreements and complications are my bread and butter. I understand if it's not part of your overall vision, but I enjoy the idea of being able to have "fake/superficial friends" or "casual lovers" or "abusive family" or "annoying coworkers", etc etc. Edit: Oh! Also platonic partners would be a nice addition for ace folks.

I love this idea SO much! Amazing work on all of this! I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on it! <3 I know the game will be very mod friendly - will that include these relationship labels? It'd be fun to make our own labels for different hobbies and tie specific actions that would strengthen that relationship :D

"Baking buddies". Sure thing... Of course 😉

This sounds amazing, I love this. So they'll be no meeting a para and getting married within an hour? (cough cough other well known game). Im getting more and more excited with each update. Thank you all for your hard work!

This all sounds so amazing ! 😍 I'm becoming more excited with each new post. What's so Incredible about this is it can be added too and evolve if expansions are brought out in the future. Well thought through and extremely clever guys 👏👏👏🥰

I love the idea baking buddy. I can’t wait to play

Oooh. I love this! 😍 will there be like a half sibling or step sibling relationship maybe too? 😊 That would be a fun one. 😊

Huge fan of this, can’t wait to play!!

This is such an interesting way to implement relationships. I really like the integration of skills-- I think this is far more creative than a mere interaction. Can't wait to play it, frankly.

incredible n creative way of implementing relationships

This labeling system is super creative! I love the combinations of relationships you can have. A friend/rival is really cool, I haven’t seen that expressed in these types of games before. Can there also be a possibility for enemies to lovers? I always love playing with relationships.

I wonder if there will be "favorites" (e.g., favorite cousin, favorite aunt, etc.)?

I love the idea of buddies for hobbies. ^_^

such a unique and smart approach

I love everything about this post, especially the combo labels 😌❤️

The time and creative thought that went into the intricate ebb and flow of Para relationships has me so intrigued and ready to test and design endless relationship scenarios!! A seemingly unique approach and I love it!! ❤️ Great work devs!! 👏

Brilliant! I love the idea that there are so many unique ways to define the relationships. It will make for exciting gameplay!

this is amazing!! I’d love to see enemies to lovers!

I love this idea !

Annoying nitpick (I'm sorry!) but you've written "Confident" as a status and I think you mean "Confidant/Confidante". But I think the idea of labels is interesting, relationships are one of the main things I've been waiting to see more of so I appreciate it!

amazing work, i love the details!

Awesome! I appreciate the work being done on this game! I hope to see a more expanded relationship panel, especially for family like 1st cousin, great uncle/aunt etc. to see how much we can make the family tree grow!

I love the approach to this! Keep going, guys!

i am soooo in love with this idea! 😍 absolutely stunned at the originality and potential for unique relationships! I especially can't wait to see more of the negative combo relationships you might have like mortal enemies or something like that lol.

I love this new approach. Like you said, it would be great to see at a glance what the relationship is with a numerical score and status bar. Two questions: How will you handle relationship decay due to neglect? How will you time-lock relationship gain so you can’t go from strangers to married in a single day? 👀
