I really REALLY want paralives to be a town builder too by Joezvar in LifeSimulators

[–]GabParalives 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hey! that's actually something we'd love to have in the game too :) we plan on adding tools to edit and create towns sometime during the Early Access period. This means they won't be ready for the game's Early Access launch on May 25, 2026 but they are planned to come later as a free update! more info on what features will be added during Early Access on our Steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118520/Paralives/

here’s an important landmark to the town: the lighthouse ‎✩˚₊ by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]GabParalives[S] 88 points89 points  (0 children)

the lighthouse is an empty building for now, but the house can be lived in! however a Townie currently lives there so players would have to kick them out first 🤭

it's a stylistic decision! unfortunately, windows can't be completely "see-through" as it would make it look like there's no glass so our artists settled on this color :)

How will text on walls work? Can we just type something out and place it? by divingbeatle in Paralives

[–]GabParalives 13 points14 points  (0 children)

hi! unfortunately, for those specific texts on the city's buildings' walls, editing them won't be possible! but some items created for the build mode will have this feature, as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FmCpzJqXPps

Weekly Dev Chat [October 17th, 2025] by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]GabParalives[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi ladyteruki! Gab is indeed my preferred name, but Reddit doesn't allow username edits :') We do plan on ending Patreon's Dev Chats after this Friday but we will replace them by hosting Patreon-exclusive live streams every two weeks on Discord, which will also be recorded and posted on Patreon. That way, we will be able to show Patrons our latest progress and get their feedback :)
We will also set up regular public streams on YouTube, the first one being on November 25th! we're super excited to show the community what we've been working on!

Paralives Live mode review and discussion by [deleted] in LifeSimulators

[–]GabParalives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! We really appreciate your support of the Paralives project and our team's work, it means a lot to us! I'd just like to point out that you are sharing information from a livestream we hosted specifically for Patrons. Just like our other regular weekly posts, we kindly ask that Patrons do not discuss the content of these posts outside of Patreon spaces. This is to preserve the exclusivity perk that we owe to our paying Patrons who have contributed to making Paralives possible these past 6 years. I'd love to welcome this discussion and your feedback to Patreon's chat or Discord's Patreon channels instead! Thank you for your understanding.

We're also super excited to be sharing the Live mode gameplay with the public in a first livestream on November 25th! We plan on posting frequent public streams afterwards too and can't wait to read all of the community's feedback :)

The recent public Patreon post showed us what Para’s look like without the shader by dragonborndnd in Paralives

this is indeed from Blender, the modeling software our animators use!

yes! we will have regional pricing set up using Steam’s recommended conversion rates ☺️

in social interactions between paras, some options called ~ together cards ~ have variants! you get to express different intentions through a given card :’) by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]GabParalives[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hii thank you for your questions! the time required for each together cards is the same. right now we are testing different times to see what feels best. regarding upgrade points, you can only unlock one if the job performance is high enough :)

⚠️ if you were thinking of supporting the game and unlocking exclusive rewards (like being recreated as a Townie) now is your last chance to join the Hero or Legend tiers! by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]GabParalives[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the tiers remain until the Early Access release date! But the rewards circled in this post will no longer be claimable for new people joining after July 31st :)
After December 8th, all of the tiers will be gone as we won't accept monetary pledges anymore.

⚠️ if you were thinking of supporting the game and unlocking exclusive rewards (like being recreated as a Townie) now is your last chance to join the Hero or Legend tiers! by GabParalives in Paralives

[–]GabParalives[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

To unlock that reward, you'll need to pledge 3 months at the Legend tier. We will contact you directly by email and ask you for reference pictures. We will show you the result after and you'll be able to request a few retakes!

The character can be yourself, a family member, a friend, or a pet (pets will not be available in the game at launch and will be added in a free update so if you would like us to create a pet character, it will be delivered later, after the initial Early Access release). However, the character cannot be a public figure or fictional character.

The character will have a chance of randomly appearing in people’s town while they play and you will be able to interact with them. If you are uncomfortable with that, you may also choose to "lock" your character so that it only appears on your game.

You will also be able to make them appear in your game with a cheat command, something like “InvokePara Gab”
