🎉 PARALIVES 2025 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT + 🎥 VIDEO: 7 MINUTES OF LIVE MODE GAMEPLAY

I don't mind paying for a couple of expansion packs that have great content and add a great experience. I want to support this game and help it succeed. One thing you could do is something similar to what Baulder's Gate 3 did, have like a small optional extra pack with some very few simple items, the game soundtrack, and maybe some concept art. And people could buy that to support you.

I do think you all deserve compensation for additional features added to the game. Life sims can have a long tail end of development and I'd love for your team to grow and expand the game for years to come. Hopefully you'll look into additional ways to support the project in the future.

Such a beautiful group of people

I appreciate that, but I'm also willing to pay for DLC if it becomes necessary to keep the game, company, team afloat.

Will you update the system for communicating between more than three characters? Personally, I did not like the style you did The method I want, I will give you an example Do you remember the part in the first trailer that you made, where the character was talking to a street musician with his friends? The style that I wanted was for the musician to not stop playing when he talks to a character, as he can do two things at the same time, talking to anyone around him and playing at the same time. Same time In general, people should not stop what they are doing if they are cooking, showering, exercising, or simply talking at the same time. I hate it when they have to form a circle to talk to each other, it's suspicious and they can simply talk to each other without forming a circle as long that thay are in the same room

Thank you for your hard work. What you are doing is amazing. I will support your Patreon even after the game is published. It's nice that you want to add things for free. You guys are great <3

You guys are amazing! Your entire team are who I look up to and who i hope to be in a few years when I join the industry. I’m so excited for the game and I will continue to support you guys in any way I can 🩵

I am so very excited!! I can't believe Paralives is right around the corner 🤩 so glad to be part of this community, to have been watching & supporting the development of this game since the very beginning!!

You and your team look so kind and friendly!!!

SO EXCITED

I am so excited to play. This looks really fun! I love the together cards and the way jobs work. I love leveling up personalities.

Great video and good job to you all. Thank you guys for giving us a game we can truly enjoy, I appreciate it ❤️ what I’m wondering about since I’m new to the group. (Sorry if this has been discussed before. ) The mailbox icon on the screen I’m not too sure about. What would be cool is we could actually click on a “mailbox box” and choose between checking our bills or checking for letters etc, for more gameplay and animations, and with that we can forget to pay our pills which could add more problems for our paras, like getting “ final notice lettets” overdue “ or the bills doubling etc and with bills not being payed we can get evicted and become homeless. All of that would make the game challenging and so much for YouTube videos let’s play. The job upgrade part is good BUT , (correct me if I’m wrong) it seems too easy, just a suggestion, it would be better if we could only upgrade our work if we have been a good employee, ie making it to work in time, going to work in a good mood and with a full belly. All of those behaviours does impact us and our performances at work. If our paras are a good employee and has worked at the job for a while then they could upgrade at work and try to move up instead of it being too easy. If that’s too complicated maybe just make the upgrades available after working there for a while it add a bit of challenge which is what makes games fun. This is all just suggestions to open the mind to new ideas. ❤️

OMG we are gonna have transparent shirts ! And Sotsass-like mirror ! <3

Anisa is beautiful. You guys are making people's dreams come true! I no longer have to put up with incompetent asian companies when it comes to dark skin asian women being represented. I can make my own representation and portray dark skin women as elegant, introverted, feminine, soft etc instead of the negative stereotypes like "the Jezebel" or the minstrel show. Asian companies NEVER listen to us. Often times they will use tan filters to fake dark skin women being "represented". So f**k them! I'm going to play Paralives and Life By You instead of watching their colorist/racist tv shows.

I cried when I saw this on YouTube and immediately came here to support it. I am so excited to see how this grows over the next year

Guys, the game looks AMAZING! I am curious about one thing, though: there are several moving boxes in Anisa's house - does that mean the Parafolks will have to unbox their belongings after they move in? That would be so cool. I also have a small suggestion: about creating the personality, it'd be really cool to also have the talent Writing, for us aspiring writers out there. Great work, team! <3

🥳

Ooooooh I was so excited about the gameplay reveal. You don't show s lot of your progress bit every time you reveal something it's worth waiting. About creating the personality I'm really happy that instead of traits personality points influences the character (reminds me a little of the Sims 2 which I loved) - I feel like it helps to create more individual personalities. About the Vibe are you planning to add a ninth vibe since there are eight and one would still fit in the box? (Maybe something like aloof or awkward don't really know)🤔 It's the first game (I know of) which makes it possible to have one sided relationships /crushes finally it is possible.😊 Overall it looks like it's an amazing game and thank you so much for your hard work can't wait for the early Access.❤️❤️

🥹

I absolutely love everything about this and, most importantly, y'all's philosophy on free DLC and a fleshed out experience. Games made by gamers are the best! <3

AAAAAHHH! It's here! And it looks amazing! I love every single thing about this, especially the personality setup with the points. The points system in general looks so fun, especially with career system. And I LOVE the social interactions; they feel very organic and not micro-managed. This really feels like creating a character and then watching them live and interact with the world as opposed to playing virtual dolls and having to control every, single action.

Congrats for getting to this point in the game making!! The para-language is sooo cute. ♥️ And wow only one payment!!! That really is a strong incentive to buy as soon as possible. I'm moved by your passion and hope the game has all the success you deserve.

I've logged around 3500 hours on The Sims 4, and still maintain I haven't "played" it yet. I get my fun from building stuff. (OK, and trying to break some of the game limits!) Sure, I'm really looking forward to building in Paralives, but watching the video makes me realise I actually want to PLAY this. Why is 2025 so far away?

I want to cry. Correction: I am crying. The fact that so much time and love has been put into this project and to be told before launch that the community will never have to spend more than their initial purchase, I--. There are no words to describe how meaningful this is and how much respect and gratitude we have for this development family.

aaaaaaaaaa it's so beautiful kjasdajskl

Well done, you've all done such a great job! I love the art style, the lighting and the overall vibe. I'm looking forward to playing it in 2025!

Well done everyone! Amazing! It's even better than I thought. I'm so excited that it's going to be released next year 🎉 I'm also looking forward to all your posts until then 😊

I will really enjoy this type of immersive gameplay and I know a lot of others will too! 🤗

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the team video ♥️🥰

Cannot wait for release! Have been following your game since I ever heard about it from simtubers and other gaming sites back a couple years ago. The moment I saw the very first teaser trailers from around 4 years ago, I knew this was gonna be a game I wanted to play and couldn't wait. I've been very happy to support this game and can't wait for the release and the future! I'll be eagerly waiting. :D

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ciao dall'Italia!! Non vedo l'ora che arrivi il 2025 ♥ Hi from Italy! I can't wait for 2025 ♥

Aaaaah I had not seen that there also was a new post ! (hope it still means we get one tomorrow... #greedy ) Congratulations on such a great gameplay video, and so many good news ! Every person I've shown it to, including people who are not hardcore players of That Other Game™, has been impressed. And with reason ! I had a question regarding this part "The goal is to get player feedback so that we can improve the experience along with the community" : will there be a dedicated platform for player feedback ? How will it work ? Because obviously, currently there are A LOT of comments under each post and video, but spread on several platforms. And they're not necessarily tailored for constructive and elaborate feedback. So I'm curious about how it's gonna work, and whether a "ticket" system will be put in place. Also, will we see recaps of the feedback, like "this week we've received 12 suggestions for improvements on the Together Cards", with links so that people can upvote them or something ? I also have been wondering if the Patreon will be closed once we are in the Early Access phase, despite it being such a central place to get official news up until now (social networks like Xwitter, discord, reddit, etc. are not really appropriate place for that), but I don't know, it seems to be tied with funding. The Paradevs have been so good at listening to us, this is really going to be interesting to enter the Early Access phase. ...Other than, you know, being in the Early Access phase and finally putting our hands on the game !!! :D

I know it's only February, but I already cannot wait for 2025! You all are fantastic!

I’m so proud of all of you and so excited to play!! You’ve all done an amazing job!

Beyond excited! Can we skip 2024?

Eeeee! I absolutely loved this! I love the cozy vibe I get and the cool ways to interact with other Parafolks. I've had this wishlisted for a long time and so excited for Early access. :D

I absolutely loved the video! I have never been this excited for a game aside from something related to The Sims back with Sims 1 and 2. I'm excited about the thought of not having to pay for expansions, and I think something like that allows people to enjoy all gameplay features without a paywall while also encouraging modders to narrow down on the specific elements smaller groups of people might want in their game. I heard talk of horses being released in the base game and this REALLY excited me; as someone who grew up (and still lives) in a very rural area, horses and pigs and chickens are just a common everyday pet. Waiting nearly a decade for a pet I'd have quite normally in Sims 4 was so disappointing and frustrating. I'm so grateful to see that it would be incredibly easy to make a Para that looks like me in this game, too. The skintones and hairstyles, the personalities...it's all so good! Thank you for all of the attention to detail. I know this will be my fave cozy game when it's released.

I am so so proud of this team!! <3

I was expecting a lot of time yet to get to play the alpha! 2025!! How cool!! But I really think that you should rethink the possibility of expansions. Paralives has an amazing base game, but it also has infinite potential to grow as a game. You could make really valuable expansions, from stuff that wasn't part of the original game, like a farm expansion with animals, machines, new crops and farm's markets, for example. I believe that most people would consider that it's fair to pay for a completely new way to play the game. I believe that micro-transactions are a scam and I'm happy that you're not going this way. But payed expansions I consider fair game, so I believe you should rethink this policy.

Aaaaaaah!!! *screaming crying throwing up*

Wow, even as I saw the progress of the game, this is still such a treat!! The intimacy! The music! THE DECOR OF THE HOME (which I'll never get over 😍)!! The cute lil pop-up together cards in relation to that para in that moment & the growing romance!! I was screaming "PAN THAT CAMERA AROUND, HER HAIR IS IN THE WAY" when they smooched😂😂 This is gonna be awesome just like I knew it would be. Amazing display of your phenomenal hard work! And FREE DLC? You're angels. Thank you so much for sharing!! 💕💕💕

You've done it again Paradevs! Knocked it out of the park. This live mode gameplay teaser was everything I'd hoped it'd be! Early Access in 2025? No paid DLC? Ever?? Like no one is doing it like you guys. Take all of my money! I'm so proud to have been apart of this community and following the development since 2019. I can't wait to play Paralives in 2025 and I'm already super excited for the next update

This update looks incredible! The team has done an amazing job, I can’t wait to play Paralives next year! I have a question regarding the legend tier on Patreon. With a release window announced, is there a certain time you must start it by in order to have the townie and item named after you? I imagine these take time to make so there may be a cut off to ensure it can get done.

J'attendais ce gameplay depuis tellement longtemps ! Et je suis ravie 💖, vous avez fait un travail magnifique. Les décors sont tellement beaux 🤩, j'ai hâte d'y être. J'aime le fait qu'il y ait une jauge pour les traits de personnalité, j'espère que dans le temps cela deviendra encore plus précis, que les paras puissent avoir une personnalité vraiment unique et complexe avec un réel impact sur leur vie et leurs relations. J'espère également que le relationnel sera également complexe et précis dans les compatibilités notamment. J'apprécie votre décision de ne pas faire de dlc payants, et je continuerai à vous soutenir avec joie 💞. J'attends comme toujours votre prochain post avec impatience ☺️. Félicitations et merci pour ce super travail 🙏🏻💗.

So exciting

Omg im ready hopefully beginning of 2025 .

A small detail that I was wondering about, is it still planned that paras will remove their shoes when entering a house? In this case, is it just that you'd have to tell the paras to take off their shoes, or is it a house 'rule' that isn't in effect for this apartment.

I’m sorry I can’t find anything about when we are contacted about creating our townies for being the higher tier patron. I’m hoping I didn’t miss the email :( does anyone have any information?

I can’t believe this is a team of 11 people. I love what I have seen and I’m looking forward to the release. Wish you guys all the luck and and coffees you need :)

I'm incredibly happy with the gameplay you shared with us!! Thank you so so much for your hard work and dedication, i'm sooooo excited to play Paralives! i've been waiting since the very first post. I love youuuu

Fantastic, I game looks awesome, thank you Paralives Team for doing such a wonderful job. I'm so excited to eventually play the Early Access and I love the video.

Oh my goodness they’re so cute!

Oh my gosh I cannot believe that we have a release announcement I am near tears. Watching the team grow over the past 4 (four!!!) years has been so fun I honestly don't even know what to do with myself when the game is actually out ahhhhhhh

This is incredible! I'm in love with this game and I'm so glad I've continued to support you guys! Thank you for what you do 🥰 P.S. maybe "Empathy" can be the other point-based trait? Physique, Intellect, Creativity, Charisma, Empathy?

Ça fait des années que je suis votre jeu sur les réseaux sociaux et j'ai capoté quand j'ai vu la vidéo d'aujourd'hui alors je suis venue m'abonner au Patreon direct ! Félicitations pour votre jeu et j'ai si hâte d'y jouer en 2025 ! Je ne savais pas que c'était un jeu qui venait de Montréal en plus ! Bref, lâchez pas votre beau travail et merci !!!

Was nearly in tears watching this!! You’re all so amazing and I LOVE everything about the reveal gameplay 🥰❤️ Thankyou so much!! And the GIF of you guys waving is adorable hahaha! So proud to of been supporting this game !!!

I was literally drooling in anticipation over this game while watching the video. It's cozyness reminds me of a studio Ghibli film.

I was waiting for that so baaad, thank youuu paralives team! you all look so cute in this pic S2s2

AMAZING WORK! Congratulations on making something so incredibly beautiful. This game is a work of art!

Thank you so much, Paralives team, for your hard work and dedication to making this game! <3

Paralives Team, thank You! ❤️

I’m so glad that I’ve stayed with the progress of this awesome and adorable game. All of you are so talented, kind, inspirational, and wholesome. I can’t wait to see the bright future of this game become a reality.

Finally, people will stop pestering about the release date LOL

After watching the video, it’s obvious you all put a ton of thought into the design process and game design. I’m so impressed and excited for this game! I’m gonna be patient tho, because it’ll be done when it’s ready and I can wait. Keep up the amazing work!!

Omg so close.

So so so proud of the team! You’ve come so far and the game looks so cozy and soft! I hope that you guys will keep the Patreon up after Early Access etc so we can keep supporting the game after its release- as no dlcs makes me worry for you guys a lil 😅

Anyone else intrigued with the job upgrades?? Is there a development write up on this function? Would love to see more info on it

Omg, the townies are SO cute, all of them! That's what was most amazing to me, after years of having to redo every townie from scratch in that other game. The art style of the characters looks great, I wasn't sure I would like it, but the characters and the world all feel warm and cozy, just wonderful. Also the clothes look great, I was a bit worried they would feel limited at first, but I was impressed. The couple is just adorable, I got the feels when they kissed at the end of the video. I can't wait to play this game!!!

loving the stanley cups throughout the video lol🫶🏾

Yes!!! Amazing... Hope the team is celebrating and relaxing!

Amazing !! very proud, well done team! I really like the vibe, the music.. We can feel that you acheived exactly what you had in mind at the start of the project! I have a question : did you start working on the first town or this was made for the video specifically ?

This is the best news! Did not expect an early access release date/year today! Loved the video, and the little gif of the team is so cute! Thank you all for your amazing work!

I'm so excited to be able to make things in this game!!! Thanks for making a game for your player base and not for money, I know it'll be worth it :)

All this amazing progress, and the EA launch date, has convinced me to re-up my Patreon membership. Thank you for continuing to show your work! What really gets me excited is the promise of a true and contextual Wants-based gameplay loop, like in The Sims 2 & 3. But so far we haven't seen any "Fears" analogue, or real negative consequences. Every action we've seen seems to build on previous actions in a positive direction. Will there be job demotions for poor work, social dynamics like having enemies or a bad reputation, and stress indicators for different situations like deaths and negative interactions?

I am so incredibly proud of you all. Seeing this all play out— It’s even better than I’d ever hoped. I’m so excited to have a release year and learning the news about expansions— This legitimately feels so surreal. I can’t wait to play early access next year! I’m so glad I’ve been able to take part in your journey for coming up on four years now (crazy, I know!) Incredible job, devs, and thank you all, Alex especially, for making the game of my (and so many other people’s) dreams. Yay Paralives! 😭❤️

You all look like a fun team to work with. I absolutely love the visuals of the places the paralives live abd work in. It's so warm and friendly, like a norman rockwell painting for 2024. I love the ease of interactions within groups too. And the subtle look that Anesa gave to her secret crush when she first spots him at the gym, is so adorable and true to life. The idea that one Sim would not do push-ups after one try was so ME lol, so I related with that. The whole flow of the game just feels so laid back and relaxing and comfortable, like we are playing our inside favorite painting that we loved since childhood. It just feels .... good. Happy. Relaxed. Stress-free. I'm so excited to play this in the future. You all are doing wonderful and I appreciate the fact that you invited us along this journey to see how these games are made (transparently), as it's truly been a teaching experience. All the work and time it takes to make a good game, it's incredible. Keep up the awesome work! Blessings!!

Incredible!!!! So proud of this team, can't wait for the game ❤️🫶🏻

So cool! Although one thing I noticed is how some together cards don't match with the others (they become friends, develops a secret crush). Most of them are imperative (talk abt xyz, do xyz). Aside from that I'm so excited!!

this game will be worth every second of waiting. very excited to play next year!

You make me proud of being part of this, thanks and lots of love 💖

Gosh oh golly! I have been following you guys since you announced the beginning of this b-e-a-utiful game! Thank you all for putting so much love and patience into it, a good game takes time and i know a lot of us appreciate it! 💜💙

Went straight to the vid when I got back home from work so it was a very pleasant surprise to see the early access announcement at the end! Just checked and I've been a patreon for a little over 4 years and I can definitely say it's worth it. I admire your commitment to free DLCs and, like many other people, hope it's a sustainable model. Hopefully you'll still allow people to support the development through patreon and/or by having optional donations possible upon DLC releases? Even if free DLCs are a sustainable model financially, I do wonder if such a model would offer enough career perspectives for devs and such or if they'd be worried about how long they'd be employable by Paralives. The sneak peek at live mode was wonderful. The idea of following a para for a whole week as they move into town was a clever one. I do hope there'll be more (different types of) reactions possible than just the few shown so far, otherwise it might start to feel a bit repetitive despite the together cards. Would love to see more of these 'glimpse in the live(s) of...' in the runup to early access and eventual release. Maybe also some with roommates, lovers and eventually families? I haven't seen the question here yet, but I was wondering if you'll share more about the required specs to run the game smoothly as early access gets closer? Might be especially important to younger players and/or those with less disposable income as they might want to purchase a new pc/laptop for the game and need time to save up money.

This is such incredible news !!! I am suuuuuper impressed by the together function and how its not just mindless clicking of social interactions, this pace feels alot more natural and believable. It goes without saying the game is so quaint!!! 😍😍And to think even after purchase of the game we are going to receive free updates indefinitely!? This is so refreshing as so many in the industry are using these games as cash cows ! I would like to know are we still able to contribute as we do via patreon ?? This team is worth every penny. It has been such a joy and inclusive experience watching the game develop ! Super excited for 2025 !!!

Will the game be subscription based? I know it’s a labour of love but how will you sustain yourselves in the long run? Will you be keeping Patreon? If the DLC is free where will your revenue come from. I want to be able to appreciate the game offline. Is this an online game? I’m anxious and excited. Sorry for that. You don’t have to answer. I’m sure we’ll know eventually. I appreciate your hard work. Keep going!

Hi alex and team , i have a question we patreon still getting a patreon post this friday after all of the news recently added today?

The trailer looks great! Congratulations!

Something I noticed was that in the character creation menu, there was only a checkbox for Vegetarian, would it be possible for that to be more dynamic, for different diets instead of just a on/off toggle? (I know it was probably just put there as a check as a tempoary measure)

This is so good! Congratulations, guys! It's been a long journey but we're almost there. I can't wait to experience all the game has to offer.

I didnt expect a release window yet! That’s so cool. I like that you guys took your time to announce it until you were sure about it (looking at Life By You being pushed back for the 2nd time👀). One thing I noticed is that the together cards seem to be sort of hidden away? I thought they would pop up themselves but they only appear when you click on the bar, right? Im a bit worried that some players will kind of forget about it, I wonder how conversations/relationships progress if you dont interact with it? Perhaps the game reminds you to do it, but I still think that the interface could be a bit more prominent, perhaps instead of the little speech bubble it could be a bigger button to access them? Anyway, everything else just looks so good and I have no notes! Just vibes

The best news I've got in a while! So happy!!! Looking forward to creating an npc ❤️❤️

It. Looks. AMAZING!!! I am so gosh darn excited. Is it 2025 yet?!?!

Congratulations!! You are amazing!!

You guys... I'm so proud of you all *teary eyed*

Crazy how far Paralives has come. Beyond excited for what this year brings.

I just thought about an idea ! It could be so fun to have a video about each main character of Paralives like a "One day in Maggie’s life", near the release of the game ! We could see each Para’s personality in a fun way and how they’re in their active life !

It looks so good! I’m so excited! Congratulations you guys! The game is really coming along 🥳🩵

Congratulations everyone! I am so so excited!!!!

This video was amazing from the personality and the job offer, the bills and the friendship system, to this cutee love story ❤️ LOVED IT ! I also noticed the background paras having discussion, or even using the computer in the cafe ! So cool !

I am so excited to see this! As a patreon supporter since 2019, I've always held so much hope for the release of this awesome concept and to see something like this makes me almost emotional. I'm so excited to play any version of this game, no matter whether it is still a bit empty or buggy. Can't wait to play it for real!

The only thing I disagree with is having no paid DLC. I don't mind paying for additional content, as it will contribute to the growth and development of the entire Paralives studio. My suggestion is to offer free DLCs for the first year, and then release only 1-2 paid substantial DLCs per year. What do you guys think?

Yay! I can't wait to play it! Good job everyone!

Congratulations to the entire team! Can't wait for the game!

Yessss, let’s go. I’m loving the down-to-earth vibe. I can’t wait to get my hands on this.

Can't wait 😃

I've been a patreon since the very begining - keep up the fantastic work - you're going to have so much success! Loved the video and can't wait for eary access xx

I'm watching the video right now. I love it. But I think one of those context menu options needs to be changed. It doesn't sound right, if it only says "develops a secret crush" or "they become friends". It sounds so staged. I think it would be better worded as "Is Anisa becoming friends with xy?" or "Is Anisa developing a crush towards xy?" But those are just my two cents. I'm so excited for the game.

How much will the early access cost? IM SO EXCITED OMG

I am so so so excited for this game. Will you be creating different architecture design styles for home building?! The building and creation is my favorite part! Also, who will be able to gain access to early release? Keep up the amazing work guys ☺️

Very happy with this!!! Good job everyone!!! Best wishes from Brazil!

Wow, did someone else felt kinda emotional during the video? :'D I can't believe the game is finally getting there. It's been such a journey and it is such a joy to watch the team grow in size and talent. I hope you lovely people never loose confidence or your enthusiasm!

This was so incredible!!!! Proud of you guys!!!!

You guys, the game looks adorable! I love it! I will support as long as you let me! Also, I need the after of this wave moment, everyone looks to crack up haha. Great work team, THANK YOU!

Oh. My. Goddddd!!! A release date?? I'm so happy I'm rolling in the ceiling! (That, or it's a poltergeist... But I'm rolling happily all the same!)

Omg I’m sooo proud of you guys! I’ve been here since that first video of the resizing of the windows 😭😭😭

I'm so excited for this! I really love the trailer! It's been so inspiring seeing how far you've come and I really appreciate the transparency from your team! I'll definitely buy it on release and I'm looking forward to the future!

I been a patreon since 2019. It was worth it. cant wait to play the game <3

I’m so excited omg this looks amazing!! So proud.

A RELEASE DATE?????*JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND SCREAMING*

Wow, guys! I am SO proud of you. Today's video has been a major milestone, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2024. All the comments I've read so far have been super positive. Great job! <3

Hmmmm. Was hoping the personality would be more fleshed out. Will there ever be a chemistry system between Paras too? Or will everyone just be great friends? That's not how real life works. Also am still confused about the job upgrades. You can just click a button and you're earning more money? Wouldn't it be extremely easy to advance in these careers, especially if working hard that day on the job doesn't affect mood? This almost looks like a kids game so far.

This looked fantastic! The animations, the gameplay mechanics, the art, the music... it's all there! It's very evident you all have been working extremely hard! Can't wait to see more of the town and of course early access next year

This is so cool! Love that I won't have to queue up 7 different interactions in a row to build relationships, this 1 hour bar thingy actually looks so low maintenance & way less stressful. Can't wait to play this next year!

I genuinely can't remember ever being this excited about a game before.

Huge congratulations to the team!! I’m so excited to play the game, your hard work over the past couple years shows so evidently. I just looked and I’ve been a patron for just over 3 (!!) years. Time flies! It’s so, so special to me to have been around to watch this game grow. 2025 can’t come soon enough!

Omg guyyyyyys I loved the video so much, I was literally in tears when it ended and I saw the announcement 😂🥲

OH MY GOD This is everything and more than i could've ever imagined!!!!!!! Every aspect of this video was wonderful! Absolutely in love with Anisa she's so great! I'm really happy i found you guys this game is very dear to me <3 Can't wait for 2025 :>

I am SO THRILLED!!! I enjoyed the video sooo much! Hopefully we can meet Anisa, Carl and the others in the actual game too? :')

IM EXCITED! I can't wait to see the future for this game to be and huge props to y'all for making this game happen

I am screaming and giggling and dancing around! I am blocking my entire 2025 calendar for this hahah! The video was phenomenal! I got especially excited watching the "Secret Crush" interaction!! I know I'm going to use that one a lot. Everything looks great - all of the features you have been sharing with us are fitting together so well to make a beautiful and fun game! You all are doing an incredible job. Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing it with us. I'm also impressed at how well you are managing the Patreon and marketing/publicity. It all feels very well planned, organized, and professional. Thank you again, and congratulations on the big reveal!!

Will Patreon members get earlier access than public or everyone at once? Also... and I know its been asked few times and not sure if its been answered, but when/how will we be contacted for having our characters put into game as NPC/any other perks our tiers list on patreon? (Apologies if this has been answered!) /side note... now I have a deadline for when I need to buy my replacement PC lol Edited to add (I'm so freaking excited about this!!!!)

This is sooooo exciting! I have been here since the beginning and you guys have come such a long way. I cant wait to see what you do in the coming year and look forward to early access

The vid was awesome! I can't wait to play it!

This looks incredible! I can't wait!

😍😍😍

So so so exciting! The trailer was absolutely adorable and I can't wait to see more as the year goes on. Congrats everyone!

INSANELY Excited. I really hope we get lifestates/occult one day 🥹

So excited!!!! For those of us that paid Legend tier for 3+ months (sometime ago for me), will we hear about the Townes soon?? 😍

So happy to hear. Will definitely get the game once it is in early access. Make sure to not ask too little for it. I find a high price fair for the fact it is a one time pay. Unlike other games that charge 60 and still let you pay for updates.

PUMPED! Any word on when we will be contacted if we paid in the higher tier to become a townie in the game, and name an object?

I am so excited, I have been saving birthday money for this game for about 2 years now. The video was wonderful, I knew the game was going to be in early access either late this year or next. Though I do hope to have occults or at least an easy way for people to mod them in the future.

I absolutely love how cosy it looks! The leveling up in jobs and personality in branching ways looks really interesting. And already the romantic animations look a lot cuter than a certain other life sim. Excited too see it evolve more!

This is so exciting! I’ve been so hyped! You can tell how much work the team has been putting in and I bet they are proud of this! It is a huge step for the game

Such exciting news!!! I'm so happy! Keep up the great work, we'll be here rooting for you <3

Definitely a bit concerned about the future if there's no plans for additional monetization but from a player perspective I'm ecstatic to see what you guys pull off! This all looks great!

Ohhh 😍 I'm so excited!!

I know people are super excited about no paid expansions, but is that really sustainable for the game in the long run? How is the game going to make enogh money just off of game sales to support itself for years? How much is the game going to cost to afford this?

OMFG! I am just loosing my mind! Looks I will be wishing away 2024. So stoked...

yesss this was the most perfect video!! so happy for you guys!!

Ahh congratulations, this is so exciting! You should be so proud of all that you have achieved and what you will achieve in the future!

Hâte de voir la suite ! Bravo à l'équipe et tout le travail accompli !

Yay so exicted

This all sounds fantastic! I really do hope the free expansions will be sustainable, though. Will you at least still keep the Patreon active for those who wish to continue supporting the studio?

The Live Mode Reveal is fantastic! Way to go, Paralives! Keep up the excellent work and attention to detail. Congratulations!!! I loved the music, by the way!

SO PROUD OF YALL

I love it!! Aaah. I have one question though. What about people who supported through Patreon? Do they get something special? Like an in-game item?

YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING, AND I'M SO EXCITED TO PLAY PARALIVES (EARLY ACCESS). THE LIVE-MODE VIDEO GOT ME EMOTIONAL, ESPECIALLY THE SOUNDTRACK. WELL DONE GUYS, AND KEEP IT UP!!!!

YAAAYYYYYYYY!! THANK YOU GUYS, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
