Push Pull and Sliders Prototype

Maybe we could have an ornament or painting with the goose. It could be a wee easter egg. If you know, you know. :)

Stewby

You have to add goose and ducks now....

Hoping this goose stays in the game as a pet or smthin cause its cute

I love love love this!!!!

YES! As a person who plays CAS most of the time in The Sims, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. A tool that allows us to use BOTH PUSH/PULL AND SLIDERS! <3 <3 GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

Hestia

I love the combination of sliders and push/pull! Perfect!

Michelle Mo

This is perfect! They work smoothly together. I love the cute animations and sounds. I can tell that this game will be quite charming.

Wow looks nice!

kingchris20

I low key hope that we can have that goose as a pet

This is so perfect, great compromise! I hope that the Parafolk look like the humans from Planet Zoo. <3

LapeyLou

Decided to watch this again BECAUSE I'M JUST SO EXCITED

Kelsey Griffith

I love it but I’m not a big fan of the noise it makes when pulling. I prefer silence but that’s just me haha.

Xavier Zayas

Love that you're testing out having both options. There's benefits and limitations to both methods, so including both gives us so much more creative freedom!

Jade Mulick

It's getting more exciting to see your progresses every time!

Brittany Eastep

OH LAWD HE COMIN

Brittany Eastep

Yes, that's the plan! The sliders panel is hidden by default and you can open it and see in real time which slider is affected when you push and pull! It already works like this in this goose prototype :)

Alex Massé

Totally! Everything should be possible using only sliders or only push and pull! Sliders will appear in a different panel that can be hidden

Alex Massé

OMG I love it!!!! Love Love Love it!!! o_o

Will you be able to use just one if you want? Like is it possible to use just the push and pull and get the same amount of accuracy as the sliders? And will you be able to turn one of them off so it just doesn’t show up if you just don’t like using it? I’ve always liked push and pull better and don’t see myself using the sliders at all so it would be cool if you could just turn them off.

Can the goose be a part of the world?? Like to just annoy the Parafolk? Or maybe even let geese!!

This looks amazing! I think a reset button would be great then too!

I love it! I wonder, would it be possible to have the sliders on-screen while push-pull is also active? It might be helpful / more intuitive for the player if they see the slider they are changing with push-pull, so that if they want to fine-tune it or remember where it was, it will be clear which slider is moving when they push or pull. Maybe just have it that the default mode is push/pull, and the sliders aren't normally visible, but the slider icon toggles the "Sliders" pane and lets you do both.

This is awesome! 😍

Awesome!!!

The Noobest Girl

this is the best of both worlds! 100 % genius! wish that all the sims were like this

Lola

Awesome! Love it

Gina Ayars-Ritchey

Nice sliders! And this goose game artstyle looks so much like paralives, need to try it!

Kisica

HE CHONK

Piper Smiley

Me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Patos por que no ???

Yes! That's something I want to add :)

Alex Massé

This just looks amazing and perfect for any customization!

So happy with every development. Wonderful work! Thank you for what you do and how you listen.

This looks so good. The fact that sliders and push and pull will be available is great. I like having both options. ^^

ESW

Looks good! The goose is cute. Will we be able to hold and not only pull, but also move/drag an area around to manipulate a shape in faces for example?

Looking good :) Having both options will give use A LOT more char.control I believe. Many thanks Alex!! This is feeling really good. Blessed be.

Yes a whole farm of ducks

I love it. Looks amazing. I like having both options.

Same. To be fair this game is actually going somewhere. 😂

Draconicrose

Alex Massé more like Alex Messiah!

Draconicrose

Love the sliders... and the duck. Would like as a pet.

Nadine Poplawski

I love this! Both push and pull and sliders best of both worlds! :) And you Alex you are an amazing designer! :)

S&M Gonzalez

The trolled goose gets trolled. Love it Alex :D The sliders look amazing and so many customisations!

h2o Queen

Yeah, I needed a simple dummy character to test push/pull and sliders. The goose was good for that :) I think I'll be able to show the color wheel soon, just need to tweak the UI a bit!

Alex Massé

So, experimenting on a virtual goose can somehow benefit Paralives development I see :) But seriously, the combination of sliders and push n pull has a great potential so far. Also, if you can answer this, when can you show us any glimpse of color wheel?

Stermatical

This is so awesome. I’m so excited for this game. :)

I love having both options in the game! Great work ^_^

He can be so CHONKY, I love it

Perfect :D thank you so much for this!

I think having both is the best option imo

David La Roche

I really like this.

Gary Hardt

Thank you :) Not for now but maybe at some point!

Alex Massé

I kinda really love that there's both slider options, it not only adds more ways to customise but also means that if people don't like the push and pull they can just use the sliders

artsyimpostor

this looks amazing and I'm hoping this means that we can have pet geese

Mark Coughlan

hi Alex I love the idea of having both in the game

Natalie

Nice!! :)

Stephanie Marion

Keyword: options (Thank you for providing both choices, and great work!)

It’s cool to have both options and that you can choose which to use it seems. Always nice to have options for what you feel comfortable with!

I love this concept. Wouldn't mind seeing it applied to the actual Parafolks

Aaron

Love having both options, you are doing such great work! Also, now there needs to be a goose pet in the game, lol.

Slippers

Fantastic - can't wait to play!

Niky Magdalen

I love this, it's a nice mix between The sims 2 and 4

Giammarco Victor Venturi

Love it, this is looking great!

Now I want my Parafolk to honk. 😂 Seriously, though, this looks great! Best of both worlds!

Maiden Minnesota

This looks like an awesome prototype! NICE work! Love it! <3

MadhattersTwin

Looking great!

This is super exciting! I love that you used this example so we can see how It could work/look. I'm def into it. It really feels like we'll be able to make our Paras be very different. Thanks for showing us.

Oh! I really really really love everything about this! You’re doing great! I love the sounds, the design, the sliders, the pulling, it all. You’re doing shockingly good for a solo project. Go you 🥰

The goal is realistic proportions and details while still being a bit cartoony. They won't really be low-poly

Alex Massé

I’m more excited about this game than I am about my future

Alex, you are a game creating saint! 🥰 The option of both would be so awesome!

Haley

I know you mentioned the characters arent ready for presentation yet, but what did you have in mind for their art style? Are they going to low-poly, or more cartoonish similar to the Sims?

Can we play as a goose in paralives? I didn’t realize how much I needed this

Garst

We now need to be able to have pet geese in Paralives!!! But more on the serious note, love this, I love the option of both sliders and push/pull. I really like the clicking noise as you are doing adjustments as well.

Sasha Pugliese

OH MY GODD!!!!! YEEEEESSSSSSSSAAA!!!! I love it!! The honk made my day.

Miracle

Looks like a good prototype, can't wait to see how it translates to the parapeople :) I think that there was some strangeness going on at the extremes of the sizes here though, so some harder set limits on how large/small things can be might be needed, though with people it could be very different. Keep up the great work!

Teanna A Schmaeh

this is so fun!!!

Yes for now :)

Alex Massé

is this video just for the Patreon community ?

Simplicity

Oh, i love it!

M of Nine

I like it that we habe the Option between sliders and push and pull. You make indivudal characters so easy 😍

Shannon1993

Love this!

I'd have a sanctuary for geese! SO CUTE. I love seeing them around in the spring/summer with their little chicks. Swimming around, honking, being all cute.

Awesome stuff!!

Kat

It's cool to see how versatile you made the clothing to be. I like how fast and fluid the push-pull/slider system is too.

This is going to be amazing!! Once again Alex, you completely overwhelm us with your/our design concepts. :)

Absolutely beautiful :’)

Looool even the geese are cute haha tbh I would be fine either way but I'm leaning more towards the push pull rather than sliders... Idk it s just more convenient for me... But overall looks awesome Alex!!!!!

Thank you :D Maybe someone can add it as a mod!

Alex Massé

That's awesome!! And I loved the aggressive honking

Denimaww

Love the slider option!

Oh and there should definitely be a goose/geese in Paralives!

I'm so happy that there's slider options so I can see what I'll be changing ❤ I love everything about this and King Goose is adorable😍

OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! Looks really promising. Keep up the good work Alex :)

Thank you Madeline! Sound effects are still to be adjusted :)

Alex Massé

Eee if there’s an option to make Parafolks different heights that would be amazing

You're always amazing Alex. Please keep working on it and take your time. Btw can you just import the freaking goose into the game when its released? Its so cute.

I really like the implementation of combined sliders/pushpull. The sound effect is a little loud/abrasive, but I like that it clicks up or down depending on which direction you're sliding. There's a nice range of motion as well, so this is a good prototype, I feel.

Wow, having the option to use both would be so amazing. Getting more and more psyched for this game with every post! Keep up the good work!

You can tell that he truly reads the feedback and not just go strictly off of poll results

Simplicity

The tool looks promising already! Even though the goose is just a placeholder, now I really want that UGG goose to wander around paralives town and annoy every passerby 😂

onlyabidoang

I love it!! Pet geese?? Please! 😂

Shelby G.

I like the honk button

The push/pull works well with the sliders. Nice sound effects! :D

Awesome!

Mette Askø Stark

Very cool. I voted for sliders but the option to have both is even better.

Looks great! I know you’re just teasing the technology but I really want to see geese in the game now aha! I think a combination of both is a good way to please everyone!

FUN!

Now we need some Goose references in Paralives. Hahaha

This is awesome, thank you!

Simplicity

Stop. This is too much. We don't deserve this.

It looks amazing! Just watched a bunch of UGG videos and it looks like a hilarious game. Also, I couldn’t stop laughing at the end goose that was so little compared to the bigger one 😂

Wooo I’ve never clicked a notification so fast! Love how this looks, and I love that you went with a combo of sliders and push/pull. I’m also wondering if you’ll add preset body types, that we can just click from a menu, and then edit if we like. Looking great, as always thanks for your hard work😍

LaurenCheerio

I really like the push and pull option. I feel like it allows the player to build exactly the character they want.

Jay Dingo

Never clicked anything so fast love the combination of sliders and push pull! Love that you always take our input seriously! Looks great can’t wait to see the Parafolk

This is awesome!!!

Chiara Chinelato

There will be a button on each cloth piece to open swatches and a color wheel :)

Alex Massé

This is so amazing !! I loved the honk lol adorable

This is really cool!

Trixia Lacsamana

So if you wanted to change the clothes colors, how would you go about that?
