Hi there!

I'm really excited to introduce you to two new collaborators that will be working on Paralives with me! Léa and Roxane are both very talented artists who will work on everything related to characters, furniture and other objects. One of the first thing they will work on is the Parafolks. We're really looking forward to finishing them and show them to you when they are ready!

Léa Sorribès - 3D artist (part time)

Léa is currently finishing her studies and  started helping me about a month and a half ago. She has been a passionate Simmer for years and she works a few hours each week on various objects. She did the tombstone in the cemetery video and many 3D models seen in the kitchen video. She also worked on the very delicious Thanksgiving turkey!

You can follow Léa on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Khalitirkai

Roxane Morin - 3D artist (full time)

2 months ago, I posted a job offer for a full time 3D artist position. More than 50 candidates applied for the role and I met 10 of them in interviews. There was 3 different interview rounds in total. In the end, Roxane was selected! She is a long time simulation game fan. She also worked on The Sims 2 custom content for many years and always dreamed of working on a life simulation game. For her art test during the interview process, she did a concept art showing how maybe we could have town houses next to each other in a row. It's a really cool idea and it's something we might showcase for real in a video in the future!You can follow Roxane on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RoxaneParalives

Keep in mind that the screenshot above is a concept art Roxane did for her art test and it's not a capture from Paralives :)

Also, Léa and Roxane are now on Discord so you will see them there!I want to thank everyone here on Patreon for supporting Paralives. It's because of you that the team is growing and that we will be able to produce more content for the game. Thanks to you, the future of Paralives is looking very bright!AlexEdit: This post is public so feel free to share it!

Not gonna lie, with the shortened email title all I saw was "Paralives is no longer...." and i nearly had a stroke. This is fantastic news! I'm so happy you have two talented people to help you in this process.

Welcome to paralives !! What an amazing strong team :)) I am obsessed with the townhouse idea ! I’ve always wanted/loved different types of hoisin in sims like trailer homes, apartments, townhouses, and non playable roommates

Crisps and Kerosene working on Paralives! What WONDERFUL news! I have so much of her custom content!

Melissa Toothman

Congrats ladies! I can't wait to see your hard work!

Moop Noot

I know you’re not really taking suggestions but I want to run one past you: Let’s say the Parafolk play different instruments, maybe they can start a band? I know this would only work later down the line in development but it’s something that the sims really lacks in my opinion, thanks for reading! I’m excited to see more people developing this!

ESW

Congratulations to both sides. This is exciting news. ^^ And that house row screenshot look amazing. I would love to see something like this in the game. :)

Kisica

Omg, so glad the team is growing! Welcome Roxane and Léa ♡

TotallyGlitched

Welcome to Roxane and Léa! Those townhouses look AMAZING. Would love to see them in Paralives in the future.

Congrats and welcome! Love the townhouses. 😍 Hopefully, it's something that'll be added to the game

Alex Massé

We love reading suggestions :) I think it would be really cool to add something like this eventually!

Awesome, I really like the idea of different type of housing. Classic single homes, condos, apartments, townhouses, trailers. That would be amazing!

Amazing news!!! ❤

Congratulations! I'm so fucking excited and can't wait to play this game but I have a very important question, will you be able to make apartment complexes?

Xavier Zayas

I really love how much you’re interacting with your fans in showcasing early development of paralives with your fans. that’s what I love about games I wanna see the behind the scenes that many gaming company’s do not show. I appreciate all of the updates you’re providing us with and I have high hopes for paralives I believe in you Alex. You will deliver us something not many gaming company’s do and that is delivering a new sims like game. which is about time that we get another. Don’t get me wrong I like the sims it’s just the company they’re with they are greedy and I can see that you care about your fans more than money. You have my full support and best of luck to the artists you hired to help finish paralives. That should hopefully help you finish it faster! 😁

Alex Massé

Thank you :) Not at the moment but we would like to support apartment complexes eventually!

Alex Massé

Thanks so much Xavier, it means a lot! So happy to work on this game and to have this incredible support from everyone! Really looking forward to show more stuff and reveal the characters!

So im not a patron on yet im broke as hell rn but What if u could screen shot things ur ppl do and be able to place them into the photo frames in the house? It be cool for photos of ur actual characters to be on the wall but ik how difficult that could be too. Well im so excited for the game n i feel bad for not being a patron for you yet its one of my goals for 2020 is to be able to support you and this amazing game!!!

This is fantastic news! I'm so excited about this project! It's everything I would expect Sims 5 to be, but I know won't be because of EA's track record. Thank you SO much for doing this for us Sims fans and giving SO much in the base part of the game! (I am a patron now by the way. ;) ) Will you be focusing on more of the "playing out the people's lives" in the game soon? The building aspect is incredible! (Please to have lots of romance in this game? :p )

Alex Massé

Thank you very much :) Yes! We are working on the characters at the moment and I'm really looking forward to show them and some life simulation gameplay!

Thanks for the reply Alex. <3 I can't WAIT to see them! Keep up the great work!

Being able to join houses on separate lots!

Something I would like to see is a zoo, where people can go visit. If not a zoo, then an amusement park or something?

Congratulations, Paralives!

Yea, more like you can combine the lots so they are all on the same lot but unique property (gardens ect.) 😄

Anonymous

Yea like malls and maybe festivals! I would also like a very detailed fantasy pack - like fairies, and secret walls and cute tiny creatures. :)
