Our build mode programmer in chief, Jérémie, added these new features in the last few weeks. Some things that are still to be done include improving the UI and adding more frames, swatches and images to choose from. We're working on plenty other features in other parts of the game and we're looking forward to share that soon!

Is this real life? Or are we part of a very elaborate life simulation game ourselves?

Recently, we have improved Paralives’ clothing system to make it as customizable as possible while keeping it easy to use. Mix and match items to reveal your unique taste, select a design that best suits your personality and choose one of the premade swatches or a specific color using the color wheel. Get creative and impress everyone (or not) with your new outfit!
Features and graphics shown are still a work in progress and are subject to changes and improvements

In Paralives, you can customize some objects to select a variant. We used that system to add different Jack-o'-lantern designs in the game. Everyone on the team created at least one design and it was a really fun thing to do!
Things you will be able to do in Paralives:
Place a zipline between point A and point B and let your Paras enjoy it!
Jump into a pool from a high place, if your Para is brave enough!
Set a house rule so Paras remove their shoes when entering a house
Use a mysterious and very secret bookcase door

Meet Sebastian!
He's a new Para that we created with the help of the Patreon community!
Sebastian was raised by his grandmother who was a fantastic cook. She taught him everything she knew and dreamed of opening a restaurant with her grandson. Growing up, Sebastian started to rebel. He fell into some bad habits and bad company and he lost contact with his family. During a party with his questionable friends, he met Lucas and they desperately fell in love with each other. So they decided to quit everything and escape from their lives. They started to travel around the world and Sebastian rediscovered his love for food and rare ingredients, collecting herbs and mushrooms everywhere. After a while, they decided to settle down, got married and adopted a child together. They were happy, but Lucas died in a tragic accident. Sebastian is now determined to save his family and to give his child a bright future. He wants to make things right and accomplish his grandma's old dream of opening a restaurant. If you want to know more about him, you will need to gain his trust and maybe he will share you some of his secrets.

Paralives has an advanced character editor named Paramaker. It allows you to change the height of your Parafolks, the shape and size of different body parts, the color of different elements with a color wheel and much more.

There will be a Patreon exclusive sneak peek one day early, Monday May 18 at noon EDT! A 1$/month pledge on Patreon helps us make the game and hire more people on the team: patreon.com/alexmasse
Thank you and see you on Tuesday!
We'd like to introduce you to one of our Para, Maggie. She has an incredibly big passion for astronomy and loves music, reading and roller skating. When she graduated a few years ago, she moved in with her cat in this loft that she decorated herself. Also, Maggie had this huge custom bookcase made to put all of her astronomy books in!

We’ve been hard at work on the Parafolk, and we are now preparing to showcase them through various features of the Paramaker. Here is a first teaser: hair color customization! As planned, we have a color wheel. But as always, we are big on details. We’ve also divided the hair into four individually recolorable regions: ‘base’, roots, tips and accents/streaks. The specifics of these will vary from hairstyle to hairstyle; after all, an afro doesn’t have the same kind of tips as very straight hair. Our demo video might look a bit rough - bringing our aesthetic vision to life was no easy task! This hairdo is still a work in progress, and you can expect the game to have a variety of them. Patrons will already be familiar with this feature. But it won’t be the last you’ll see for hair customization
We're hard at work on the Parafolks and can't wait to show them to you when they are ready! Until then, using a temporary mannequin head, here's a quick look at how you can use the Color Wheel to customize the color and pattern on clothes and accessories!
