Paralives Public Patreon Post
Hi, Alex here! Thereโs only 3 days left until the Early Access release on Steam, Iโm so excited!
Weโre Getting a Good Feeling for the Launch!
With the gameplay trailer and live mode stream Tuesday, followed by the influencer and press coverage since Wednesday, itโs been a crazy week! We couldnโt be happier with the reception so far! While people notice bugs and missing content (normal for an Early Access game), they can play and enjoy the features that are already there, and think the foundation is really solid 😁🥰
This positive press and influencer coverage will really help us have a successful launch marketing-wise since more people will learn about the game and purchase it when it comes out, funding the development for years to come. We canโt wait for you to try the game Monday and to read what you think of it! 🎉🎊💃

If you still havenโt claimed your characters by filling the form we sent you over email sometime in the last year, the deadline has passed, unfortunately. One exception is for pets, which will be created and delivered at a later time, when we add them to the game (we will reach out again about that in the future).

Just after the game releases on Monday, we will make it so you wonโt be charged anymore for your membership.
We plan to make all posts public in the next few weeks so that the Patreon acts as an archive for the development before release.
If you had access to Patrons-only Discord channel, you will retain that access
We will keep posting on Patreon from time to time to inform you of upcoming updates, but we will no longer post weekly on Fridays!
Iโm getting emotional writing this, and I canโt be thankful enough for your support on Patreon! The crowdfunding has allowed us to release Paralives in Early Access, and so the Patreon has completed its mission. Now, weโre on to the next chapter of Paralivesโ development with you and weโre eager to read your feedback on the game!
Roadmap
The goal of Early Access is to collect feedback while the gameโs core features are still being developed and improved. As such, the first few months of Early Access will look like this for us devs:
We called repair services to fix our toilet and stove. Once the guy arrived, his autonomy decided to do this!
Maybe some people shouldnโt be allowed to adopt? The baby spawned in the arms of his new father with the wrong rotation!
This place is a bit too crowded.
Not a bug but a cool thing: Anna used a container to hide a room, and now it looks like a cool secret spot that Parafolks can access!
Since we didnโt have a firefighter outfit for a while, we used a placeholder outfit for them!
Sitting correctly is really hard for Parafolks sometimes, it seemsโฆ
Eli has some trouble with chairs as well.
This Para doesnโt want to get up for work, so sheโs keeping her sitting pose!
Youโre blocking the viewโฆ
Thank you
Jรฉrรฉmie:
This has been an incredible experience and opportunity. Iโve learned so much, and we managed to make a pretty cool game too. Itโs all thanks to you! Hope you enjoy what weโve made ๐

I am reeeeally excited for all of you to finally experience Paralives, and I hope you love playing it as much as I do. A massive thank you to everyone who supports us, we couldnโt have done this without you! 💙

When I started to work for Paralives, I was still a student, absolutely obsessed with this project. We are now releasing in 3 days, six years later. Your support completely changed my life, and Iโm forever grateful to have been able to create this beautiful game with our amazing team. So much more is coming in the future, I canโt wait for you to play ❤️
Anna: This has been quite an adventure! I feel really proud and honored to be part of Paralives development, I can’t fully believe it is finally going to release, but I’m really happy you will get to play it for real now! You all should also be proud to have contributed to the game because your feedback, comments and brainstorming sessions over the years have been super useful for the development. Thank you so much for believing in us for so long, your support means the world to us and I hope you will enjoy playing and modding Paralives!

I will forever be grateful to have been part of the team, as it was a pleasure to see the project and team grow throughout the years. Paralives allowed me to grow as an artist and make memories I will never forget. I love the team, the game, and the community, and I cannot wait for you all to get to play the game after all these years! Thank you for believing in us and making Paralives a reality.
Sonia:
Thanks to everyone who supported us, Iโm truly happy and proud to have been part of this project for so long, and hope it will continue for years to come! Itโs hard to fully realize that the project youโve been working on for so many years is this close to early access. I sincerely hope youโll enjoy Paralives and witness the improvements weโll make with each update!
Lina:
I am so grateful to have been able to join the Paralives team two years ago and be part of such an amazing project. I have learned so much thanks to the team and the community, and It feels surreal that you will all be able to play the game in just three days!!
Thank you for believing in us and making the Paralives dream a reality. I hope you will all love this game as much as we do, I canโt wait to see all of your creations! 💌
Carina:
These past months Iโve been with the team have been a whirlwind- and even though I havenโt been with Paralives as long as some of my colleagues, Iโve felt the passion and excitement emanating from everyone, fans included! Iโm so grateful that youโve stuck with us through all this time, and I count myself as incredibly lucky to be a part of it all 💖 I canโt wait for you to explore, create, and become a part of our dream! (and maybe a little midnight spaghetti in there, who knows 🤭)
Alex: I canโt believe itโs been 7 years since I started this small (big) project! Iโlll never stop feeling grateful for you who supported us on Patreon all these years. It allowed us to build a great team and to build our vision for Paralives while remaining indie and true to what we would want for a life simulation game as fans of the genre ourselves. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, and hereโs to keep updating and improving Paralives with you all for many years to come!
See you on Monday!
