Sebastian is preparing to move in and we recruited a 3D Animator! (Patreon)

Hello!This week, we can finally introduce you to Alice, a new 3D Animator on the Paralives team! She's very talented and we're all so excited to have her with us! She's gonna work on all the character animations in the game. We wanted to introduce Alice to the Patrons first, we will make this post public next week. Here's a little something she wrote to introduce herself:

Hi there! :)I am so happy to be a part of this incredible adventure that is Paralives, there is honestly not another project I'd like to work on more than this one.I've always been (like everyone on the team) a huge fan of simulation games, I started very young playing the first sims games and since then I bought EVERY single expansion. It was a really big part of me growing up and what started my interest for other games.I am also a lot into indie games (Stardew Valley, Kynseed, Night in the Woods...), building games (Parkitect, Planet Zoo...) but also point and clicks (Oxenfree, Broken Age, Deponia.. and special mention to the old ones <3).Well you get it I like video games!More on the personal/job side, as far as I can remember I always knew that I wanted to be a 3D animator. The first Toy Story was really a big turning point for me, I immediately knew that I wanted to give life to characters and tell stories.This is why I went to an Art school. After graduation I worked in various fields: TV series, video games, movies... And loved it every single day. My goal for Paralives is to be able to bring fluid realistic animations that will help the players to immerse themselves in the game, but also ones that will make you love the Parafolks and help define their personalities.I am really looking forward to contribute to create a very lively world, with complex social interactions, fun and colorful NPCs! I feel so lucky to now be a part of this journey, I love the fact that everyone is so creative and come up everyday with new amazing ideas for the game, always trying to incorporate as much as possible from the community ideas.I can't wait to see how Paralives will grow and evolve, and I'm sure you do too. Thanks for reading <3
