It’s Friday, it’s a new post, it’s Richard :)!
I have improved the autonomy system to make Parafolks perform actions automatically after they finish something, depending on certain conditions. For example, after using the toilet, it is recommended that you wash your hands, so your Paras will do that now! But if you have a Sloppy personality trait, they will not do it.

What’s up everyone! Andrei here, back again with some fresh music for you! As the town of Paralives continues to come to life thanks to our amazing artists Chloé and Léa, we’ve been adding different types of local businesses for your Paras to explore. (You can check out more about the town in this post). To give a specific vibe to each of these businesses, we decided to compose custom music for some of them 🎵 This post is for Patrons only, so ple...

Hello everyone! Léa, here today to bring you two building redesigns for the city! We are getting closer to the release, and we need to rework some of our previous builds to include them in our brand new town. In our most recent trailer, you got a first glimpse at the city that you will soon be able to explore. Since then, we’ve been hard at work on improving our older builds, and today I will be showcasing the Gym and the Lighthous...

Happy Friday, Anna here!
Today I am going to talk about the genetics system in Paralives, something we started working on a long time ago (back in 2020… time goes by so fast!). I’ve been revisiting the whole system recently to make it work with all the updates to the Paramaker that have been implemented since, and to integrate it into the pregnancy gameplay. A perfect opportunity to show you how it holds up in action!

Hey everyone, Alex here!
For today’s post, I’ll walk you through highlights of the gameplay session I had yesterday to test the game. It will give you some insights on the current state of the live move! Please note that gameplay systems, gameplay content, the naming of things and the interface are still a work in progress. For example, notice how the icons for the 4 needs don’t match together (they are placeholders and we will make the final icons later on)!
As always, this post is for Patrons only so please don’...

Andrei here, ready to bring some special music to this post 🎵 Ever tuned in to your favorite radio station and gathered with friends or loved ones to share a moment, letting the music create the perfect atmosphere? Or maybe even slow-danced to a song before sharing your feelings? We wanted to have those kinds of moments for Early Access, coming up on December 8th.

Hi, it’s Alex!
Today, I wanted to show you a tool I made for the game that allows the creation of cutscenes. It’s very useful for us developers to showcase the game, and we used it to make the release date announcement trailer. I named this tool Storyboards. Our goal would be to make it available to players, too, once we have finished developing it, which could be after the initial release.

Because the programmers were actively working on that aspect of the Live Mode, it was the perfect moment for us, animators, to work on this as well and be able to playtest it right away! ⭐

Hi, Anna here!
Today, I’m excited to share some insights into the character autonomy system I've been working on recently. It's all about making our characters feel more alive and unique when they’re not directly controlled by the player!
🧠 Different Types of Autonomy
Autonomy in our game essentially covers how characters behave when they’re not being directly controlled. On the technical side, there are different aspects of it that are covered by different systems. Here is how we define them:
