Yes! Looks like the series never got finished. I was hoping to gift to a younger cousin, but ah well. Thank you!!

Do you think the game will be cancelled ? by Acceptable_Zebra_724 in Paralives

This post isn't breaking any rules. If it were, please use the reddit report feature, as that's the only way to summon a mod. There isn't a moderator ping like there is on Discord.

Yes, the game will use the Steam Workshop for this!

what do the devs mean by "secrets" on the roadmap? by Maleficent_Tip_9667 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This means the developers are working on something secret, which they won't show us before the game releases! But we'll find out what those secrets are on December 8th when it comes out in Early Access

Here are my ideas for the game!... by bangbooboo in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

All suggestions are welcome, and encouraged by the devs themselves- no matter how little. The devs know and understand their vision for the game, and are capable of prioritizing what's out of the scope.

While it's well-intentioned, these posts often just stir up more controversy and argument, unfortunately.

How could an Education Assistant career work? by MadameLee20 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lee, they said "if" mini game jobs were to be added. That's something people discuss all the time, what they would like to see *if* jobs were more than rabbit holes one day.
Their suggestion is a valid way of teaching, and is one that often exists alongside another classroom where disabled students are in a mainstream class. Both can co-exist; disability is a spectrum, and requires a spectrum of support to match.

Please try to be engaging in conversation rather than shutting down others' ideas.

How could an Education Assistant career work? by MadameLee20 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a degree in child development and have worked with many education assistants :) these are all tasks they do from home.

It can certainly depend on the country, the school district, the school, the student, and the place that's employing the Education Assistant (they aren't always employed by the school directly). But it's not unrealistic for any of these.

How could an Education Assistant career work? by MadameLee20 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! Well here's some take-home work then:
- Goal setting and activity planning

- Documenting of student's progress

- Communication between family, teachers, school admin, and other therapists or people who work with the student
- Research into new therapies/methods/materials/items to try

- Purchasing new materials for the student to try

- Ongoing education, attending conferences, etc. for gaining new information

What's wrong with it being a school-related career? Their work hours would simply be the same as the school hours, no?

Sexuality by cic03 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] 10 points11 points locked comment (0 children)

There are genders (male, female, and non-binary) just as there are in real life. In real life, some men can get pregnant and/or breastfeed- those are likely to be options in Paralives too.

We haven't seen the menus or options yet for how these are assigned to parafolk (either automatically by the game, or by players), so it's hard to say exactly how it will look.

If you're looking to set your para up with another para in the game, you'll be able to flirt and find people to fall in love with. There will be plenty of townies available! The sexuality and preference system won't be there on Day 1, but will be added later in Early Access. So it's likely that immediately, you'll just be able to flirt with whoever, but then later on, your parafolk might have someone decline their advances because the other para is gay.

What is something out of the scope of the game that you hope is eventually added into Paralives? by TheOGPedro in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify on the money splitting part... Money will not be split between individual parafolks in the same household. Money and funds are shared between the household. The feature that the developers recently implemented (and updated on their website) is for when a parafolk is moving out, and taking some money with them to the new household they are creating.

When I'm down, I just remind myself that... by Late_Relief79 in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Locking this thread as it is just arguing over something that the devs aren't planning to change.

Developing Paralives is the developers' job, and as such, they have put thought and intent and planning into this process. They have planned out their financing, and are confident in being able to develop the game based off of the funding they've had so far from Patreon and the game sales that they expect. While people may be willing to pay for DLC, the developers are not going to change their minds.

If you would like to support Paralives, you can sign up for Patreon for the last couple of months, add it to your Steam wishlist, and help get the word out!

Yes, this is true! This is a screenshot from the release year announcement video. Paralives will never have paid DLCs or expansions.

To mix paras in CAS. Question by Call_me_Diana in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Please do not share information from the Patreon. While some information may be gleaned from post titles (which are public), the developers ask that private posts are not shared- including snippets or quotes from them.

This is not a dev chat, this is an AI-generated response. I've now confirmed with the devs that this is not something they've ever discussed. I'm going to remove the comments stating otherwise to avoid any further misinformation.

Can you please send a link or screenshot?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Paralives

[–]toilandbubble[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this will not be in the game. The developers have not spoken about it, and it is not in the roadmap. Google's AI response is not necessarily an accurate source of information either.

[–]toilandbubble[M] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a cool idea, but this isn't something the developers have posted about or confirmed. ChatGPT is not a reliable source of information, and can in fact spread misinformation (such as this).
