Object Customization in Paralives

Paralives is a perfect game for me.

I cannot wait for full customization

Yagwit

it's gonna be epic!

I am DEAD this is amazing, I am SO excited

Michelle Mo

You have given this a lot of thought and I can't wait to see more and finally play!

I really like how easy it is to understand. It also looks like if you are creative enough you can build anything

I have no words, that is amazing. Can’t wait to see more !! Congrats !

The customization options make me giddy! It’s everything I’d ever hoped for.

c'est génial

Ludivine

Maybe! :)

Alex Massé

Yes! People will be able to share houses, characters, etc using Steam Workshop :)

Alex Massé

Love it :)

Do you think there will be a share building site or option? One of the reasons why I enjoyed sims 4 so much is because of the gallery. Sometimes I find decorating/building can be stressful, so I usually download a house into my game and then just modify the things I don't want. It would also be cool to add individual pieces of objects into the game too. Like if you like how someone styled a bed, you can just put that bed in your game.

Will we be able to wrap desks to make L-shaped ones?

Caitlin

My first time too. I'm literally praying this game comes to fruition.

This is the first time I supported a creator on patreon and I’m glad I joined even if it’s 1$. I’m so excited for future gifs/polls, they look so beautiful :’)

Hola Alex, mis mas felicitaciones, hay mucha gente esperando ver este juego acabado: Ya soy patrion, por que el talento hay que valorarlo!!!

I really Thanks about this game!!!! I can't believe there's a game that's exactly my type. I'm always waiting for this game.

Hi Alex, I am a die hard sims fan who played almost every sims game they have on the market, but the sims 4 really disappointed me and I'm just very fed up. It feels like the sims franchise is coming to an end. I want to play sims but they aren't giving us what we want. I'm so excited and happy that you work on this and bring a new breeze to this genre. The graphics are so goddamn cute you know. I don't have much but I really want to help support your project so I become a patron. Please we all know this is an ambitious project, but please don't ever give up on it. We are waiting for you!

Youre the real MVP for saving this genre with your brilliant game. I cant wait to play!

Mari Boo

That lamp! 😱 This is amazing thanks so much for your hard work!

LadyJ

Thank you :) It's already possible to open and close curtains but not windows. It has been requested a lot so it's on my idea list!

Alex Massé

This looks amazing

Enola Faye

Cant wait!!

I’m so excited for this game, it’s freakin incredible what your doing so far! Can I ask if it will be possible to open and close windows? As well as be able to open and close curtains/blinds? Thanks!!!!

Saw the video, it's like a dream! Thanks for making it come true for us (":

Kat

I teared up watching this.

nightlock

This looks amazing.

Gary Hardt

Bye sims, hello paralives

This is so beautiful!

Nida Kamran

that's so cool ♥

OBSESSED!!!

Good work

Jack Cocker

OMG, I am so excited for this! Awesome work!

Angela

Cool 😎 Love it 😍

Sherri Small

Hard is relative but it takes a lot of thinking to do it correctly from a technical standpoint and also in a way that will be easy to use by players

Alex Massé

I can't wait for this to go public and cause the community to go crazy over every single one of these features.

oh my god, I can't help but get so so so excited! I can't wait, this game is already gonna be better than any other life simulation game! :)

Chloe & Warren B

Awesome, keep up the good work!

Love it! <3

Rexi SimsbySky

How hard is it to implement these kind of things?

Thank you! Yes, there's a color wheel! I will showcase it soon!

Alex Massé

Hell yeah Im loving this! Great job Alex

Awesome work, alex!

Lorena Santos

I’m so excited for this game!! Can’t wait to see more 🥳🥳

Ninjamin

Wow, this looks fantastic. Great work, Alex!

Jade Mulick

Very nice indeed Alex, so many options, you are wonderful. Keep up the fantastic work, behind you 110%.

Fantastic choices!

Niky Magdalen

Very impressive : )

I'm speechless! Can't wait to see how the color wheel will work :)

Stermatical

I am getting more and more excited about this game. Nice work Alex. I would like to be able to turn to twin beds into bunk beds by stacking them on top of each other. Also would like to open the desk drawers as well.

kesionna

This is such a great idea! I get really frustrated when things aren't symmetrical sometimes. Plus, I love how you can customize objects themselves other than the color. It's these minute details that really make the game super interesting. ( *´︶`*)

Wow this is turning out great.I'm really curious to know how the characters will look like. Hopefully we will have an update on that soon.

This is wonderful! All the customization options are the reason why I love this project

The stacking and stretching mechanism is amazing! I am wondering though, will we have a colour wheel to pick colours from rather than pre-determined colours? Thank you Alex :)

h2o Queen

this is so incredible i have no words!

rosie

Very cool! Thanks for keeping us up! *+*

Ok wow... I'm speechless. Give this man a cookie!

I'm speechless it's so beautiful! Wow!

Giammarco Victor Venturi

better than i expected !!

Zinck

This is awesome! I\m loving the build features already! Looking forward to seeing more :D

It's just so cool!

Morgan LF

This is the best thing ever, I can’t believe you do this. You’re so creative, talented and you have the best ideas.. wow Alex, I’m blown away!!

Is this a dream? This is actually mesmerizing to look at. You know what you’re doing Alex!♥️

Sara Attia

I really love the idea that you can stack items and even expand them however you like. :)

ESW

Omg I am gonna scream this is so freaking AMAZING

James Mathias Hinkle

Thank you for offering color options! I hope there will be a lot of color options regarding character creation. I loved how the Sims 3 offered any color you could possibly think of (or code), and hated how they downgraded it to 10 or less options in the Sims 4. Please provide as much customization as possible!

You are giving me the hope and excitement I thought was lost for good, alex ❤️

Loren Childress

Genuinely speechless...

Akasha O'Connell

Thankyou for being alive

Joanie Ray

Aaaaaaahhh 😍😍😍 this left me speechless. You're awesome alex 😊

Sharmaine Arguilles

I'm literally in love!! You are amazing! People are suggesting plenty of stuff, so I just wanted to say that you are doing superb and I'm super thrilled to see this project grow!

I'm pretty sure someone has already suggested this, but I think that representing seeing glasses correctly would be a big plus for the game. Since I myself have seeing eye glasses, I’d like there to be a fluid animation of Parafolk taking off their glasses instead of how The Sims has treats them. Which is basically an accessory and not a thing they actually take off.

Taylor Riegle

Wow :D

Agreed Pen!

YanaB305

This is a great feature Alex! I love the ideas of stacking objects, the freedom to flip objects and the resizing of objects and texture application in the game. We are patient! Take your time creating your game. It’s things like this that will make the finished game worth the wait. Your simulation game so far has amazed us. You have my continued support and I’m sure many others. Thank you for sharing with us parafans!

YanaB305

Hi Alex! Thank you for the update! I literally screamed when I saw the gif. Such unique customization for objects! It's something I can't wait to play with! Even something as simple as switching the drawers on the desk to the other side is super cool! It's the little details like that really make a game. Keep on the great work!!

I love that.

I’m always looking forward to your updates, and this one is absolutely incredible! I’m so excited for the game, and will happily support you on Patreon for as long as possible or is needed! You’ve got an extraordinary skill. Can’t wait to see what’s next! :)

Peninaad

Alex! My guy! You are absolutely killing this! I'm so excited for more updates, keep up your amazing work and creative vision.

Abigail

I think a cool customization feature would be a slider for aging items, like for example you could take a recliner and age it to be faded in color with some rips and holes. Would be a cool concept for people who are into making stories.

When the game comes out, I will post some tutorials and guidelines for custom content. There won't be too many restrictions though so any 3D object should fit!

Alex Massé

You can place them freely! It might snap to the center of the table and stuff like that to help you center objects but you can always place freely by holding ALT :)

Alex Massé

Yeees

Amy

Alex, would you eventually release some sort of guidelines for custom content creators? Or is any 3D object going to benefit from your system?

Okay, very important question. When placing things on a desk, is it going to be a snap to the grid type thing or can you freely place items and get them exactly where you want to be?

I love the idea. Maybe there could be some swatches for clutter. Maybe those presets could be shared on the Steam Workshop.

I'm in love with the dark UI too! The customization is also so amazing!

It would be interesting to have a "Decorate" button that just adds some items to some objects to make it less fuss if we dont want to do it ourself.

This is awesome, I had a feeling you would post something. Did an online search, nothing, then I checked my email! Here we are!

Simday1

Everything is so smooth and satisfying!! Keep up the hard work Alex!! Wishing you all the best.

Liisa

At the moment you can do ctrl-z and ctrl-y for undo-redo and ctrl-d to duplicate the selected item. Copy-paste could be nice too!

Alex Massé

I'm so giddy!!! I love everything you've shown and the lighting effects on the desk are gorgeous 😍 Great job Alex ☺ The level of customization and detail is stupendous!!

WHOA! This is mind-blowing! It looks like a perfected, user-friendly version of Blender. I can't believe we're going to be able to change parts of an object. It'd be awesome if we could share parts too, on the Steam Worksop. Amazing work! The dark UI is the cherry on top.

This is truly awesome 😎

Judi Dielman

Looks epic!

Will shortcuts like ctrl c/ctrl v work for copy/paste? This looks really awesome 🤗

This is exactly what players need ! You don’t stop to surprise !

Love you!!

Rivers

I’m loving all the customisation so far! Amazing job man ☝︎

This is brilliant, Alex! I can't wait to see how this game turns out :)
