The para's personality being something you have to actively work on is a fascinating concept. It's definitely a good way to solve the issue of getting bored of your character over time, and would incentivize people to play a character as young as possible so that they have most of their personality sorted out by the time theyre an adult like most actual people.

truely a Sims moment

I've been waiting to see what the live mode gameplay would be like and I'm so impressed! I knew this would be the hardest part of the game to make from a technical and design standpoint and I'm really amazed by it so far! The graphic design looks great! The paras blend well with the environments and everything meshes well. I like how the job system appears to be like, a partial rabbit hole? It looks like the para disappears inside their place of business but at least you can physically see the building, even the inside, I think it's a nice compromise. The only criticism I have is with the 'together' bar when paras are interacting. I LOVE the idea, as it makes the progression of a relationship more interesting and engaging then just spamming interactions, AND makes the menu easier to read through as it's not clogged up with a million types of social interactions. But, I think a 'together' should trigger right when you first start talking to a para, so you can have a choice of introduction, and then have the hour-timer start. It was a little weird that the para seemed to be talking for an hour before getting a prompt to introduce herself. Even if the paras already know each other, triggering a 'together' right away could be used to select an opening topic of conversation.

@wrentheelf2656

3 ай бұрын

I definitely agree with that. An opening conversation card would be great. Possibly having more options in the starting one would be nice too, since there are quite a few types of conversations they could have.

It's crazy how far this game has come. I still vividly remember the Maggie video from 2019 and i can't believe we have a release window. I am so excited. This definitely looks like it was well worth the wait and i really hope this blows the sims out of the water.

This is quite cozy and I feel an escapism when this comes out. Love how the game feels (I think) slower paced too. You can't just spam romance and get married in 24 hours.

​​​@@AaronL0905 yeah, even speeding up that's a long ass time to wait until choosing another conversation interaction. Time goes by for the sim even if we speed it up. I love that it's not that easy to progress relationships though, and that it would take until the bar fills up to do some bigger-deal interactions. But only three choices, once an hour? Smaller things too, like ask about career? I'm scared what I first described could stay that way because it would be so bad for me. Maybe if you could do some less impactful interactions it could speed up the bar? Or if the bar filling up could be like non-consecutive. Like we chat for half an hour on tuesday and another half hour on thursday so then the cards pop up. But I'd still need to have less impactful interactions like "ask about career" to be an option more often (and have a lot more options each time of that type). I love the idea of the cards, still, I'd hope they stay. But yeah, scared. Gotta have faith in the team though, they're really really good. Plus, they'll have player feedback at some point.

The more patrons they have, the more people they could get on the team / ressources they can attire to put the game in the best possible shape at launch! Also the early access phase could be shortened significantly as well

I absolutely love that wants/needs are personified. It's not a 3rd person speaking, it's the Parafolk directly telling us that they wish to be watched, fed, entertained and so on. It feels so much more like playing with someone who is indeed alive and quite aware of what's going on around them.

YEESSSS this is everything I've ever wanted out of a life sim!! I love how different aspects of a relationship level up, and the social cards are spontaneous, but still give the player control. I was wary of the career points at first, but they actually seem like another great way to give the player more control over their Para's career, as well as giving choice over whether or not they get promoted. And that they have to be qualified for the jobs and don't start immediately!!! And the "vibe" actually influencing social interactions, and the personality being upgradable!!! No DLC! I could cry, I'm so excited for this!!!

i love the fact that this game rewards you for actually playing it. it feels like theres always somethng to work for and that you cant literally speedrun it in a day.. im so excited to play this

I’m so excited for the secret crush feature! I’ve wanted something like that for years because it’s way more realistic and fun than two characters immediately falling in love and getting married the same day. Plus the cozy vibes are everything ❤️

I'm absolutely loving this, my favorite part is how organic wishes, personality, job systems, and skills are. it just feels like it all fits together just like in real life, most people don't have that like, lifetime wish or whatever, and i very rarely bother playing with them. not to mention the social system!! you actually feel involved in the relationships your sims form, the cards that come up all make sense, and it doesn't feel very gamified, like do x to achieve y, its more just, allowing you to steer the direction of the relationship.

I'm loving the small caption underneath when the early release would be available 😂😂😂 I'm so excited!! I'm not able to become a patreon to show my support but I have been following for so long! I cannot wait to see all the work all of you have done. ❤❤❤

I like the sense of progression with all the unlockables. Only criticism i have is when u select para's for a group thing they SNAP out of what theyre doing and immediately do it like robots. It would be more organic if they "finished up" what they were doing and have an animation that overall makes the switch more smooth. Like when u selected them all to talk as a group, instead of immediately walking over to a person they could wave while walking over.

As an avid sims player for nearly 20 years, I have never rooted for the direct COMPETITION of one of my favorites. I have high hopes for this project, just for the integrity and hard work that comes with the development. You really can tell when a team puts effort and care into a project that hasn't been turned into a cash cow yet, and I'm hoping Paralives paves a way for life sims to HUMBLE The Sims and EA.

Regardless of how strongly you're rooting for something, you should always root for competition. Monopolies are terrible for the consumer in EVERY market, causing unfavorable pricing, stagnant or even decreasing quality over time, corporate laziness, lack of innovation, etc. It shouldn't take until your fave company goes to sh** to support alternatives, and yet that's what everyone seems to do in some sort of catty middleschooler mentality.

@madeleine61509

@@kokoapebbles My point is that it took THIS LONG, it took EA going absolutely off the deep end into greed and laziness for people to realise "oh yeah.... Maybe monopolies aren't that great." For years, any time any alternative would even be considered (even fakes/hoaxes), there were fans acting like "you will NEVER be the Sims, you copycat! stop copying and find your own game genre. life sims are ONLY for the Sims!" It's only since Sims 4 was trash that the majority have been open to the idea of competition (some also started to turn due to the microtransaction store in Sims 3, but I'm pretty certain that was a minority group). This commenter even said it "I have never rooted for the direct competition of my favorites" why? Again, you should always be rooting for competition, not just when sh** hits the fan. The Sims came out in the year 2000. If you think there hasn't been a SINGLE potential competitor in over 20 years and they're only JUST popping up now, then you're delusional. There are no competitors simply because fans of the Sims refused to support them until Sims 4 was bad.

The Sims does require competition so they'll feel pressure to improve, this game and InZOI will bring competitiveness in the niche 😊, competitiveness that is also needed for the city-building genre as Cities Skylines 2's launch was horrendous, and just like EA, Paradox is greedy with their DLCs 😩.

I'd truly appreciate it if they could introduce a feature that specifically enables us to play with our friends. The idea is not to turn it into an online platform for meeting strangers but to enhance the gaming experience by allowing us to share it exclusively with our friends. As a dedicated Sims player, I've been longing to enjoy The Sims with my friends. Playing solo tends to become monotonous after a few weeks, resembling a repetitive cycle, almost like working with a CAD program. The key here is emphasizing the multiplayer aspect, creating an opportunity for a more engaging and dynamic gaming experience with friends.

I have to ask, do they also sometimes ask the community about certain features or have like polls for them to vote on?

The main thing that sticks out as different from the Sims is the customization and flow to the game. In sims everything is wonky and robotic, one size fits all whereas paralives seems to flow so naturally and is thus more realistic. It has a real life feel to it that is so cute and endearing..that has never really been present in the sums. Can't wait to play
