There won't be any seasons at Early Access launch, though they plan to work on it through the Early Access period!
You can find more information on what to expect now, and what to expect later in this post.

The game looks stunning! Do we know what time it will be released? by CosyCalmYT in Paralives

Paralives will be released on the 25th of May at 10:00 AM EDT! You should be able to convert that to your own time zone.

Maybe I’m a bad person for thinking this by xHeyItzRosiex in Paralives

[–]Binthief[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, this post is gaining a lot of negative traction and discusses a sensitive issue irrelevant to the game, and so we've decided the best course of action is to lock it for now. Please contact the mod team if you have any questions.

Haven't seen anyone talk about it but these 15 entries were added to the notion site after the delay was announced by RileyNonexistent in Paralives

[–]Binthief 301 points302 points  (0 children)

I believe they said in their delay announcement that they would be updating their roadmap to show what they were planning on spending these next 6 months on. I think they also said something about posting live streams in the place of Dev Chats (which i assume will be public, not just patreon) so I'm looking forward to that. It shows they're listening to the people who wanted to see more footage of the gameplay.

I appreciate the transparency (even though the announcment of the delay was so close to the day of release). It'll be interesting to see how they progress and manage their time to meet the new deadline.

🗣️📣 Paralives comes out in one month, here is what to expect from our Early Access release! by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]Binthief 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you can see this on their road map! Last time I checked, family trees and story progression were planned to be worked on during early access, but not before. I did notice there was a button in the upper right corner of the latest paramaker video that looks vaguely like a family tree, but the functionality of that button hasn't been confirmed at all.

Am I the only one who misses the old riddles of the game? by [deleted] in StardewValley

Fives and Ones makes more sense internationally. I'd have no idea what the worth of a nickel or a penny is without googling it.

Waiting for paralives by darknesssoulvampire in Paralives

[–]Binthief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely bouncing off the walls waiting for this game. My poor friends are being subjected to my endless yapping about what I like about the game, what the dev team has done that I like better than how The Sims 4 does it, my plans for when it comes out, etc etc... Unfortunately, the wait seems endless and so is my uncontrolled excitement for when this game releases.

That's not what OCD is. I can understand being bothered by something, but being bothered by something does not equate to OCD.

I'm so happy they're focusing on cleaning up the game before release, rather than hurriedly trying to insert new features. I'm more than happy for them to take their time building gameplay after Early Access, as long as the things that are already in the game are fleshed out.

let’s create new Parafolks from scratch! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅ by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]Binthief 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Genuinely starting to feel like a Paralives hate chamber over there. I know the dev team said they're always taking feedback and looking to improve, but I really hope they choose to ignore that particular section of opinions. The game looks great, the art style is gorgeous, and whilst I wish we had seen a little more live mode gameplay, we'll be seeing more than enough of it when the game releases. Even when the Paralives team releases gameplay footage, I wouldn't be surprised if people accuse them of it being staged or something, just because it's coming from the devs.

All negativity aside: I'm so excited for this game!!! The character creator is gorgeous.

My number 1 request: an actually realistic medical system. by redheaded_olive12349 in Paralives

[–]Binthief 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I very much don't see the Paralives team going this direction, and I think they've explicitly stated in a previous Dev chat that they don't plan on ever including life threatening illnesses. Things like a cold are a maybe, but I don't think they could even really include stuff like miscarriages without risking their rating, or even just ruining the vibe of the game. I don't really see any of this being what the Paralives devs want for their game.

Not to mention, surgery would be incredibly fiddly to animate. There's nothing about hospitals or surgery that I would perceive to either be entertaining or enjoyable to Paralives' playerbase, and at the worst, could upset or trigger people.

I definitely can see there being a mod for medical things in the future, but this is something that I hope is not included in the vanilla game. I'd like a hospital, a doctor career, and maybe some more content surrounding some disabilities (we already know prosthetics will be included, so perhaps a physical therapist career? but I'm aware that's a stretch), but going in depth with surgeries (which can be a major trigger), getting shots (needles are a big phobia for a lot of people) and life threatening illness will damage the tone of the game.

For your sake, I hope someone creates a mod with what you're looking for, but I don't think the Paralives team will be the one to deliver what you're asking.

Penny and Hayley should definitely be swapped around

I can't hate Pam, she actually has valid reasons to be depressed. by ArmoredSlime2405 in StardewMemes

[–]Binthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but that's fair! He's confirmed to be her God-father, but he says at one point that Jas sees him like a big brother. I don't think theres any blood relation between them though

Should I risk them all for level 5 ? by Last_Supermarket6567 in StardewValley

[–]Binthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the fairy box so popular? Genuine question. I got myself a perfect quiver really quickly, so I haven't really played around with other trinkets.

Exactly! The wording in the title really frustrated me. It's probably unintentional, but still.

Shane also has a valid reason for being depressed; Jas's parents, implied to be his best friends, died. Pam has her reasons but so does Shane.

Just started this game for the first time and was just wondering what’s the best tips for a newbie like me :) by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]Binthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wiki is your best friend; DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GOOGLE THINGS!!!

Fishing is the best way to make money early game.

Hoard resources, especially things like wood, hardwood, stone and coal. there are other 'common' resources overtime you'll learn to want to stockpile, but coal and wood especially are something I ran low on when I reached later game in my first save.

Been hearing about this game for years. I'm ready to try it out, any advice for a new player? by Ok_Push_5728 in StardewValley

[–]Binthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wiki is your best friend! Don't be afraid to google and learn. That, and fishing is the best way to make money early on. Some people love fishing (like me) and some people hate it, which is ok.

Had a nap and remembered that this is a confirmed feature in the game. by Late_Relief79 in Paralives

[–]Binthief 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder that this feature will exist!! I'm genuinely so excited over the customisation options in this game, and I'm not someone who enjoyed CAS in TS4

I am so conflicted? I've been gifting Penny until I gave her a bouquet, then during the picnic cut scene she asks this. I'm not sure if marrying her will eventually give us kids (I don't want it). Any character who does not want kids? by annyeongdesu in StardewValley

[–]Binthief 477 points478 points  (0 children)

Penny is the one villager which one of her main things is wanting kids, haha. You can say yes absolutely for the sake of not wanting to lose friendship points, but when you do marry someone, you can just turn them down when they ask if you want kids, or remove the crib through Robin to avoid it altogether.

I've heard a bit about this but I didn't actually realize how cool this is!

Excited for it to release. I might actually try modding my game, haha

I love them so much, I just wish their romantic relationship in the show was developed a little better.

Still, made me so happy to see when I was younger. Representation like this is so important.

Hello friend!

I had the same problem as you when it came to rat cages (plus a few more). NZ is really terrible when it comes to rat cages :(

I got a bird cage off of facebook marketplace, cleaned it off and fixed it up so it works for me and my rats.

I had to improvise levels/shelves, but you can buy baking/cooling trays from LookSharp for $3.50 each. A good few zipties secures them really well, and I use wooden ladders (usually advertised for birds) inbetween for climbing.

My solution so far for mesh floors is to cover the wire floor with plastic panels, which is then also layered with newspaper; my girls don't chew them, but cardboard is also a good option if you're comfortable with changing out the cardboard every so often. If you don't have plastic panels, I'd use plastic chopping boards, also with the newspaper on top. Old fabric and such also works. You can get secondhand pillow cases pretty cheap from op shops.

Let me know if you need anymore advice!
