Hello everyone! Chloe here for today’s Build Mode showcase! ✨
Now, I’ve seen the comments: ‘’Your builds are pretty, but they are so colorful, but when are we going to have a more monochrome, modern showcase?’’ Well, I decided to summon my inner millennial to get a taste for the white, black, and grey when creating this new spacious build– just for you! Please note that this post is for Patrons only, so please do not share it!

Hi, Alex here!
The new gameplay feature we’re showcasing today is a really hot one, in a very literal manner! We’re talking about house fires here and it should bring some drama and danger to your Paras’ lives. Don’t worry though, if you are careful and do not lock a Para between four walls, everyone should end up safe and sound!

Happy New Year everyone!
Léa here to bring you a freshly baked update with all the food that has been added to the game recently. Sit down, it’s time for me to spill the tea ☕
As some of you might already know, creating food for Paralives is one of our favorite things to do. It’s fun, it involves staring at yummy pictures all day, and let’s be honest: it’s food.
Ready your napkins and let’s go! 🍝

Hi, Alex here!
Paralives is a game about life and how sad would life be without music? That’s why we’ve previously shown how your Paras can learn the piano and today’s post is all about our second instrument, the guitar. 🎸
🎥 First of all, please watch the video at the top of this post to see the guitar skill in action

Hello everyone! Chloe here. Today is showcase day; which means we have some new rooms to show, as well as new Build Mode objects! As usual, 🚨this post is for Patrons only, so please do not share it, thank you🚨
For this new apartment, we wanted to feel "good vibes" and we wanted it to feel warm. Of course, Léa and I just couldn’t resist making it vibrant and slightly retro; although, I guess it does match its occupant!

Hi, Alex here!
One big design goal for us with Paralives is to support many different playstyles. That’s why the game lets you play with a single character, with a big and busy household or anything in-between. When we were thinking of gameplay styles based around multiple characters and making them socialize, one key element was very important to us: We want a feeling of togetherness in the game so it should be very easy for players to ...
