Name this Para

I think it would be cool to have non-north american names too! The Vietnamese and Haitian communities have had big cultural impacts in the lives of Montrealers. I suggest a Vietnamese and a Haitian name :)

I missed the poll. Nancy would have been my vote. =^..^=

By the way, what is Maggie's surname?

Someone saying what we're all thinking. I completely agree with this. <3

Mitsu

Or Michelle.

can't wait for this, we need an alternative from the Sims , EA ruined that franchise. If Cities skylines can destroy SimCity then you will have no problem dude. keep up the great work

HitchToons

Wish Sasha won!

Alani Mason-Callaway

Aww i missed it 😭 good name guys tho

So freaking excited!!!

Laura Vanrooy

Thank you for the new video, it's amazing

I am freaking out so excited for this game <3 <3 Her movements in the shadows look so pretty

will this lot be playable for us??

Maya Appavoo

I want to live here - looks incredible. :) Seriously, so excited to be watching it all unfold. The evolution of the simulation revolution. Cannot wait to play!

IM CRYIN

C

Saw the video on youtube.. OMG Alex, really can’t wait for the reveal of Maggie !!

Jason S

Guys!, the video blew my mind - The amount of detail, just wow

Bianca J

I know right, it keeps getting better and better.

Simplicity

look at the videooooo on youtube OMG the quality oh my Gooooooooooooooooood

WOW the loft looks so amazing! I love it! English is not my first language but I went with Maggie because it’s cute ☺️

Sasha is so close to first place KEEP VOTING EVERYONE LOL

Hehehe, nice!

Vicarious Human

Why is the name Michelle so unpopular? xD The screenshot looks amazing, can't wait to see parafolks ^^

Danica Savic

Oh my gosh! I love this so so much! Great work you guys! I can't wait until I get to play this game. It's gunna be freaking awesome.

Kaie

I love how there are little imperfections in the loft (the crooked couch, the way the stools aren't perfectly aligned, the wood of the table, etc) and also the hanging plantssssss are so cute!! I'm so happy with this, I keep coming back to the picture and zooming in to absorb every little detail

Mo Des

Maggie has a space shuttle neon light by the kitchen bar. If it was a Sasha she would have a neon soyuz rocket.

Is that a bra!??!??! Lol

Sasha makes me think of a range of possible characters. In the activities mentioned that she takes part in Sasha seems sophisticated beyond her years. Yet roller skating gives her a "fit" vibe that is also fun. Sasha= Athletic, very intelligent, AND mysterious!

Vicarious Human

Every time I look at this picture I find a new little detail and the ammount of care you put into decorating it's just breathtaking! The little reading corner by the bookcase, the coat hanging in the kitchen, the tiny soap bottle by the sink, the bycicle under the stairs! I love it all! Super excited to meet our first Para!

This is incredibly stunning! I see her shadow, and there was a mention of a cat, I'm zooming in on the picture trying to find it! 😅 I like the name Sasha the best!

I love the decorations!

Ashlee Brenner

will that studio be in the game I hope everything is interactive! :)

PuffinFledgling

Would it be possible to get a snapshot of her cat?

Bianca J

Sasha for sure, and if cat is male then should be Boris, if female then Misha. I get this secret agent vibe here and that loft is amazing!

TnT_Terry

ohmygodohmygod i’m so excited

hâte de de rencontrer cette demoiselle! Ce loft est magnifique! Bonne santé à tous

Ludivine

Does this mean you're going to reveal the Parafolk next week or just reveal the winner of the name chosen?

Simmons

OK Alex.....you are a dang sneaky guy!! and OMG, I adore it! "Name the Para BUT let us show you her home first!" LOL I'm astounded and blowen away! The details are knockouts, the decor is delightfull, and "her" shadow is winsome! What a beautiful stage you and the team have set up for us to study. Thank you!! All week I have been comming back to your post and zooming in and out studying the items, lighting, all the little details placed around and I'm itching to see more! Which I'm sure was the intent...LOL..well I belive you all have succeded! I can't wait! The details and feeling of reality.....WOW. This is sooo missing in other simulation *cough* games. Keep blowing our minds Alex, Lea, Roxane.....you all are an awsome team!! Stay safe and keep dreaming with us....Blessed be folks.

i was zooming the pic and i think i just saw a bra. is that a bra or i got it wrong? OMG that detail it`s just perfect.

Patrick Viana

I can't wait to meet her! Her house looks stunning omg

Awww, thank you :D Yes, that's in game! We try to improve the lighting as much as we can :) Looking forward to show what she looks like!

Alex Massé

Aw, thank you <3

Alex Massé

Haha, thank you so much :)

Alex Massé

The room is just amazing!! I can not wait to be able to play this game!! 😁😁

Morgan LF

Whoa, it looks amazing. Jaw-dropping!

I lobe the name Olive or Oliver for the cat!

Trishy

OMG THE SILHOUETTE!!!!

Víctor Fernández García

Sasha is my favorite but I always find it hard to pick a name without knowing the facial features of a creation. But Sasha could work for many backgrounds so I decided to go with that. But more importantly : wow. And I mean, WOW. We'll be able to build something like that in the game ? WOOOoooOOOW. Did I tell you how much I'm impressed ? There definitely has been improvements in lighting since the first previews we saw, but there's something else here, about the volumes and use of space. Honestly even without a face reveal (but we know she has short hair !), I'm impressed. Can't remember whether I mentioned that.

ladyteruki

Would an astrology name for the cat be too on the nose? I was thinking they could call the cat "Astra". (it means "of the stars".

Dizzardy

Maggie instantly stood out to me. (I like Sasha too though so I'm happy with it winning too)

Dizzardy

Maggie is adorable! Just putting it out there. SUZIE! Is cuter!

Roxanne would've been perfect in my opinion but Sasha will do 🙂

mamc1234

Honestly, i went with Michelle but they all seem kinda plain. Absolutely in love with the build tho, Keep up the great work!

XXXTigger

Wow, this is beautiful! I think I'll go with Sasha, nothing against the other names but they feel too basic.

Simmons

I... love... that... loft... I am so excited to build with this game!!! The Sims could never, and that lighting. SO PRETTY!!!!

I keep coming back to look at this picture because it is so gorgeous! 💓

Stacey Dunnachie

I love the name Maggie! It reminds me of TWD ☺️

Sydney Tofel

Sasha fits, also I see her shadow!

Trishy

Yes, Maggie! You go, girl!!!

Zo

im dying to see some form of game play!!! anything!! even a peak at the menu / edit mode or something!

I love this place! I think this place is absolutely Sasha's!!

Michelle is my best friend and it will be amazing to have one of the main characters named after her!

Ohh this is gorgeous!!!

Can’t stop loooking at the pic is so perfect ❤️😍

OMG guuuys OMG look at that picture OMG I’m so happy waooooh Im totally in love 😍 😍😍😍😍😍

So what's the buzz on Maggie?

MIchelle, ma belle, sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble... 🎼🎤

I have a friend named Estelle who used to hang out in the roller skate rink as a kid and now is pursuing work in Astronomy. This was pretty fun to read it took me back to when I had friends haha.

Scarlletta

It's beautiful!! OMG, great job

Tori Barbado Muñoz

Keep up the good work guys :) and stay safe! x

Don’t really care about what her name is going to be. But what I do care about is how amazing the loft looks. 😃 Especially the floor and L-shaped stairs. And look at that, bicycles and frikkin actual telescopes in the base game. 😄

Stermatical

That's what I was thinking as well, but Alex said they are only decorations for now

Jordy

Lmao but I don't like the name Sasha. Why would I vote for it haha?

Zo

Wait, are you telling me rollerskating is a thing in paralives??

Bianca J

Omw Alex, this room looks amazing!!!, it shows exactly the type of para that lives here - love the attention to detail. My mind is just blown right now. Your team and yourself is amazing!!!

Bianca J

That house, I am in awe 😍😍😍

Wow wow wow! This really shows the potential of all the amazing builds we can create! So exciting!

Hayley Biddle

Love this♥️

Simplicity

The lighting and graphics kept getting better and better. You guys have done a great job! And really wishing Sasha being her name 😍

onlyabidoang

Didn’t even notice that..lol!!

Rivers

Oh my goodness this is stunning!! You guys always blow my expectations out of the water, and I have no doubt you will do the same with parafolk!

I'm so excited for the reveal, the silhouette is beautiful :)

This is beautiful

Samantha Moore

This screen cap is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!! The book shelf, the loft, the pictures on the wall!! Wow!!!!

CarlySue123

Looking really beautiful so far. The ambiance is just perfect! Please please let "Sasha" win... The name isn't cooki-cutter or predictable. Multi-ethnic, too! 🙏

Eliason

I love the bookcases on the stairs!!!!

Kiddosdreams

Seriously though, this is such a stunning game and it’s not even out yet. And we’re in quarantine. You guys are magicians or something - that’s the only logical explanation as to how you guys have done so incredibly! Can’t wait to see this wonderful para!

Peninaad

Can we name her cat too? 😂

Peninaad

I love the loft, windows, bookcase - and everything else :)

PixelPerfect

I love all the details especially that bra hanging 😂

Sharmaine Arguilles

Holy shit! I love the lighting, I can feel the vibe of the place this so so great guys, well done!

I'm so excited! Thank you for your hard working❤

Oh my gosh, that loft is gorgeous! I was hoping my name (Sarah) would be one of the options because this Para sounds an awful lot like me lol! I'm so incredibly excited for this game. Thank you guys for all of the time you have spent and will spend on creating this! ❤️

I’m so excited! This looks great!!

This is so beautiful and I can't wait to play in this sandbox! You guys are doing such a wonderful job.

naltamire

This is incredible!!! I cannot imagine the amount of work y'all have put into this.

KittlynM

This is stunning. You should be so proud!

Ava Wolchuk

I believe they've said it's not in the current plans but they haven't ruled it out

Sabine B

I'm so excited that we'll be able to make homes like this! This is totally my style. I love the stairs! Great job everyone!!

I just love the loft. The bookcase especially, just - wow! Actually, I love everything that I'm seeing. I can't wait to see the Para, too. 💕

Also I was wondering if first person mode will be available in this game? I would love to be able to move my character around using WASD keyboard keys and interact with items like I would in an RPG. I think that would really up the experience!

Alexandra Veda

Oh my god! That screenshot is breathtaking! The fact that you and your small team have created something so amazing shows how lazy some other companies are... *cough.. EA.. *cough

Alexandra Veda

I literally can't believe what I'm looking at right now. The design of the whole loft is absolutely gorgeous and I am so excited to see what else you'll introduce to us in the future. Thank you so much for the wonderful update. I cannot wait to play this game and start creating rooms similiar to this ;W; I hope you guys are alright! Take care!

Sarah Bünger

I’m stoked! Creating stories is what I do best! Can’t wait to get on board and play!!!

Ewaka Flaka

What a beautiful loft! Can't wait to see the Para that gets to live there.

Maggie

This looks amazing! When I think of having a dream loft, this is it. Now I just need to wait for the big reveal.

Cannot wait!!

Kristen

It took me a while to notice her shadow was on the ground Lol I'm super excited for the full reveal!!

Omg its gorgeous 😍 I can't wait to play this beautiful game you are creating 🥰

Omg look at this loft! This is beautiful! You guys are doing an amazing job! Stay safe and healthy guys!

Amazing. I love the name Sasha. So even if it's not picked when I play her I will change the name.

kesionna

Ooooh so much mystery. I’m left wanting so much more even though there is so much here! Amazing job to you all. I CANNOT wait until I play!!! Stay safe!

Nicole Nolan

Absolutely beautiful, love everything about this!

\o/ .. I love this place to much .. and Maggie is the best name for an astronomy enthusiast :D

Mag Gamemagg

I can’t believe this!

Simday1

The lighting and shadows look amazing!!

Wow that is so beautiful

Shiney

Wow, that's almost exactly the loft I'd like to move in *.*

mizu-m

That would be awesome :D But the roller skates are only decoration at the moment!

Alex Massé

Thank you! :) You mean the in-game build tools or the more technical game development tools?

Alex Massé

What a beautiful loft! I can’t wait to try building something half that gorgeous. Will she be one of the base game neighbors.

Grace Sivils

Hehe :D

Alex Massé

Thank you :D Yes, you will be able to ride bikes! For now, a lot of the stuff are just deco but we will add more and more interactions. It's possible to go under landings if they are high enough to walk under them :)

Alex Massé

I would love to meet her some day! This is so beautiful! Pleaee stay safe and healthy in these tiring times

M of Nine

The game is looking amazing. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Amazing job guys, the loft is beautiful!

I LOOOOVE THIS SPACE! I am so excited to meet Sasha! She sounds awesome and I can't wait to be her friend. 😭♥️

My heart. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS HOUSE!! Thank you so much for reigniting my love for life simulation games 🥰

The lighting is just everrrrything!!!!! <3 Can't wait!

TRUTH_SAYER

Fantastic loft!! Can't wait to play

Niky Magdalen

This is so beautiful that I might actually cry

warmestbloggerever

bummer, I really like Nancy

Guys the graphic is incredible! Wow, 1000000 better than the Sims 4. I can't wait to meet Sasha XD

Giammarco Victor Venturi

Alex needs to see this!!!

This loft is sooo amazing! Beautiful! I want to move in :D

this is stunning!!! i can’t wait to play it omg!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!! Does this mean paras can roller skate in the game??? If so then 1) YESSSSSSSS and 2) maybe that means there’s also a chance for skateboarding!! :D

Aaron

I'm happy to soon see "Paralives' Bella!" ... She's going to be iconic because of her being the first "Parafam" ... just like the sims' Goth family was Will's first and favorite family

Jojo6716

Omgggg, that looks amazing!!

Michelle all the way

Crystal Diamond

Omg I’m so excited to meet her ! Beautiful loft 😻😻

She sounds wonderful! I love her already, and her home is beautiful! Can’t wait to see her 😊

Pam Huiskes

This is so beautiful!!! And the Para’s shadow!! 😍😫

Catherine Rexroth

I CAN'T WAIT

The amount of detail is amazing. The window and the shadows are breathtaking.

I love that loft!

BroSkittles

Wow, guys, I am really impressed. Nice job! Would really love to see the process of building this room. What tools did you use, e.g.?

If that is a real in game screenshot it is possibly the most beautiful Sim game I have ever seen, it has far outstripped my expectations, so amazing!

Hannah Hazlehurst

I'm literally crying. This is beautiful.

The loft is simply breathtaking! OMG! I really really love the design and the deco. Hope the bookcases and stuff are really usable. The lightning really is fantastic! :) Can't wait to see more of it! Stay save and thanks for the really great work! :)

Till

Beautiful!

Leandros Manos

So of course I'm biased, I would love for the first para to be called Michelle XD

Michelle Mo

I could cry this is so beautiful!! EEEEEEEEEEE I'm so excited!! And I've never been so hyped over a SHADOW before!! XD I can't wait to see what she actually looks like!! This is so perfect!! That ceiling!! <3

OMG This is GORGEOUS!! The lighting is simply superb! I have so many questions. Will the paras be able to use the bookcases by going under the landing and from the landing? Can the paras sit down by those pillows on the landing and read or is it just decor? Can we ride bikes??

BreakingGaia

Hmm, tough choices. Okay, so here is the thing. Of all names, I prefer Sasha. But then I thought name should be befitting of the person's personality / character. So at first, I thought about Nancy because you mentioned books and I thought of Nancy Drew but then I realize that that would not work because those books are about astronomy. :-P So, I decided to consult this list of female astronomers here at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_astronomers In this list, there are Nancy, Maggie, and Michelle. No Sasha. Drat! ;-P But none of them with these given names are well known to me, I am sad to say. Having investigated further, though, I found that Nancy Roman was nicknamed the "Mother of Hubble" for "her role in planning the Hubble Space Telescope". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Roman So, Nancy it is! In the memory of this extraordinary woman Nancy Roman.

The Duke of Rockford

this is beautiful <3 a sasha to me

Coral Montgomery

I really hope Nacey wins because ahe soubds a lot like my Aunt Nacey only younger! :D

TheShaddowedSnow

Amazing 😍

Nia

I really don't care all the names are good but I did vote. This looks so good

Ngl,,, from the description and room I'm getting the vibes name Hazel or Virginia or Dottie from her

Thank you so much June! Oh, maybe we can vote for the cat's name in the future :)

Alex Massé

What a gorgeous loft! Definitely a Sasha to me!

Not for now but it would be really nice!

Alex Massé

THIS LOOKS AMAZING

Wow looks amazing! I love it

I love the hanging plants and the cat tree!

Brittany Eastep

This is great!

Alani Mason-Callaway

this loft is soooooo cute!!!

Bri Bergman

Everything looks soooo good 💕 I think Maggie will be a fitting name, do we get to name her cat as well when you guys start focusing on the animals? 😁 Can't wait to see what the para looks like, im super exited! I look forward to every post! Stay safe and keep up the awesome work Alex, Roxane and Léa! ❤️

This just couldn't be better. Great job guys! 😊 I'm all for Maggie- maybe it's just me but this name sounds soft and dreamy exactly like a person loving to look at night sky.

Aleksandra Gołębiewska

That loft is so gorgeous 😍 And however the Paras look I'm still gonna buy this game and support it! And I do hope Nancy wins, the character and name make me think of Studio Ghibli for some reason. But even if it doesn't I can always change her name in game lol

Will we be able to make custom paintings like in animal crossing? Those paintings in the background made me think of it

Ella Pilchik

I looove it!

Wow it looks stunning! Can't wait for the reveal of the parafolks!

Soo awesome!! 😍

This is EVERYTHING!!! OMG! Pristine you guys...congrats

Genelle Mosquera

if michelle doesn’t win

Luis Rodrigues

What an incredible photo! I'm so excited to be able to build in this world.

Amy Joscelyn

So what I'm getting is... Configurable stairs, pillows you can place (I believe those are pillows on the stairs) and bicycles in base game. Also look at the shadow from the parafolk. Amazing. I am really loving this low-poly style. I thought it wouldn't be detailed but look at the detail! So excited for this game. Alex, take my money!

I'm amazed at the uniqueness and character shown in this image

Queen Alyssa

I prefer Sasha. Waiting to see the final look :O

Great job! I am so in love with this!

THE AESTHETICS!!! I WANT TO LIVE IN THAT WORLD!

Zo

You guys are amazing!! This so cool.

OMG! It looks so good! So proud of you guys!

I love the shadow of the window on the opposite wall!!

I am absolutely in love with this image alone; I can't wait for the para reveal! This is a really exciting moment for us following this game!

Ashlie

Oona
