Hi!

Just wanted to give you an early sneak peek at some of the stuff I will show tomorrow in the new feature preview video! Please keep this between us until it's public! It includes the new window seats, kitchen cabinet customization and the color/texture selection tool.

Window seat

About a month ago, you voted to add a new object to the game. The winner was window seats! Here they are and they are very cool! It's not just a normal object. It's something that you can build yourself using the split-level tool. So the bench is like a small split-level platform that your Parafolks can sit and relax on! You can then customize it by placing your favorite windows, comfy cushions and decorations.


Kitchen customization

Kitchen cabinets are very important in our lives. That's why in Paralives, you can customize them in multiple ways: choose the drawer/door configuration, change the cabinet and countertop colors and textures independently and select different handles. You will see that in action in tomorrow's video!


Color and texture customization

Here's a glimpse at the color wheel tool. For each object, you have nice premade swatches that are useful to quickly select colors. But if you want to go in depth, you can choose a specific texture and a specific color using the color wheel. You can also type a color code using the HTML or RGB formats. Your selection can then be saved as custom swatches and copied on other objects.

That's all for now! See you tomorrow for the full video showcasing these things!

Alex :)

Edit: The video is now live and public! But this Patreon post will remain private. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEraDHYtnDA

Wow this is amazing! Thanks for all your hard work.

Alex Massé

Yes, they are able to sit on the edge of any platform unless it's too high or if there's a fence or another object blocking the way. No need for a special object :)

It all looks GORGEOUS!!! Great job.

This is incredible! I can't believe you are giving us swatches AND a color wheel! Best of both worlds!

The Noobest Girl

Awwww! The window seat is so cute!!!!! You are so goddamn talented Alex!! 😍

Moop Noot

This is great!! I like the idea that the Parafolk can sit on split level* surfaces. Edit: will there be an eye dropper tool? for picking colours you like? I think that’s necessary

It'sMike64

This is amazing!! As a kitchen designer, it’s great to see the ability to make these customization options :) keep up the FANTASTIC work!

I was having a really bad day, and I was very emotional. I saw this on the train and just thought, he is so amazing! And then I burst into tears. So yeah, your amazingness made me cry lol

Stermatical

A COLOR WHEEL in a life simulation game?! What is THIS madness?! Jk! BTW, how challenging it was to add a color wheel, I’m just curious? Anyway, amazing as always Alex :) !

Bianca J

Alex you just made my day!!!, you are amazing!!!!!!!!

Caroline Barckert

WOW!! This kitchen looks incredible and I love window seats so much !!! :)

Bianca J

I do have a question though Alex, is there a possibility that some of the other thing people voted for will make it into the game?

Niky Magdalen

The window seat is fantastic! Thanks Alex - you're doing a great job.

every post makes me more and more happy and impressed!! Alex youre doing an amazing job and im so excited to see more updates and polls!!

Kelsey Griffith

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yesssssssss!!!!!! Always wished for window seats in the Sims!! I can’t wait to throw you more of my money!!

Bianca J

This made my day!!, Alex you are amazing!!!!

Bianca J

I have a question though, will any of the other things we voted on make an appearance in game?

YanaB305

Thank you Alex, amazing integration to your game. Thanks for updating us even though I know your working tirelessly on this. Keep up the good work.

I feel like this game could become a tool for interior designers to incorporate into their work! You're the best! 😎

74xworse_thanyou

Everytime you update us, it makes my day. But this. This makes my life. The color thing oh my god. Being able to type in the value... That's amazing. This means we can literally sample any color we see and bring it into the game accurately. My little art student heart is going to give out.

Anonymous

Love this so much! Would the windows be openable? That would be so cool!

Alex Massé

Woah, can't believe I made someone cry :D I hope you feel better and have an amazing day today!

Alex Massé

Hehehe! It's not very challenging but it requires some thinking on the technical side. Because each object material can be unique with it's own color and texture, it can use a lot of memory and be heavier on the graphics so it has to be optimized :)

Alex Massé

Thank you! :) It's something I'm considering but it's not decided yet, it could be tricky to do well

ESW

Wow. This looks so beautiful. I'm actually speechless and so excited. ♥ Also really love that you added a color wheel. ^^

Bianca J

Really is amazing, really good job Alex!!

Yes, a color wheel! My excitement for this game grows with every one-up on the Sims 4

Grace Sivils

The color wheel and kitchen customization are why I became a pattern supporter! I felt such joy just sitting and watching the steam come off of the meal. Felt like paradise! Can’t wait to play!

Ludivine

c'est vraiment cool! pourrais- tu ajouter les toits automatiques? merci

James Ashby

Quick question is their gonna be a super market to buy the ingredients for food or will you just click on the fridge similar to Sims?

Mo Des

This is just absolutely amazing!! Every little detail is so well thought out. Do you think there'll be/ are you planning on adding music during the build and buy modes?

Alex Massé

Thank you :D Yes, in the future, there will be a soundtrack that plays during build/buy mode!

theOnlybody

I know I'm a bit late to the party here, but I was wondering: if window seats are made using the split level tool, does that mean that parafolk will be able to sit on the edge of all levels and split levels? For example, could they sit along the edge of the raised floor we see in the split level demo? Can they sit on the edge of a flat roof?

Alex Massé

This is still being worked on but we want to test all these things to see if we can make it happen!

The level of creativity and freedom in this game looks insane! Thank you so much for all that though and work you’re putting into this project. This game is become more than what I wished the sims 4 to be.
