![]() Paralives is a labor of love as its developers and community are all long-time Sims fans, and this combined with the work being put in is what makes it a possible contender with The Sims franchise. It even has a community Discord, wherein the team interacts with life sim fans to see what they want in the game. Throughout development, the Paralives team has been transparent with what it's working on and what's coming. Some finished features have videos showcasing how they work, and many of the tools appear to operate smoothly and intuitively. There are plans to implement things like weather, seasons, and pets at launch - things Sims fans have long wished to be in the games themselves, rather than being sold in expansions. Even the beloved color wheel and patterns from The Sims 3 are being included. The roadmap includes new things like secrets, clothing variants, customizable layered hair, stackable objects, object variants, detailed interactions, and more. The developer is looking to really expand what's been done so far and add things people have always wanted to see in The Sims. This alone has the potential to make Paralives a more imaginative game than The Sims 4. Yes, Paralives will include built-in modding tools to make it easy to get creative and share with others. This includes the Paramaker, the equivalent of Create A Sim, Build Mode, Live Mode, and Modding Tools combined. As for what's done, most of the game's core systems are in place and working. The Paralives website has gotten bigger and now includes not just the latest news, but a roadmap with all the features planned for the full release, and it's extensive. RELATED: The Sims 2 Still Has Not Been Surpassed There is still a ways to go, but it's looking very promising. The game is only in its third year of development - not long for any game, especially a massive life simulator. It made a big splash when it was first announced a couple of years ago, and while it seems like it died out, it's actually still going strong with a lot of community support. It's being developed by a nine-person team, started by Sims fan Alex Massé, whose sole focus is this game. That’s also about all I know about this game because that’s really all they’ve revealed.Paralives isn't being made by a big studio with a plethora of resources and marketing. This is a Magic School simulator from Chucklefish games and that’s really all I need to know to be really excited for it. AND you can play as a female! YESSSSS!! I can’t wait to live out my Shield Maiden fantasy later this year. Years I tell you! Ancient Northern cultures are my absolute jam, particularly Vikings. I have not been so excited for a freaking Assassin’s Creed game in years. Admittedly, some of the one man team (literally, it’s just one dude) developer’s goals do seem a little lofty, but I personally can not wait to dive into the world of Paralives. ![]() The developer is also including things like seasons and pets in the base game, something that would normally come years later as a paid expansion pack. Please, Ubisoft, don’t let this linger in development hell.Ī life simulation and building game very similar to the Sims series but with waaaaaay more flexibility and customization than EA or Maxis would ever allow. I love the gritty, Firefly-esque setting mixed with South Asian culture, the diverse characters, and the monkey dude who curses. I’ll admit I know next to nothing about the Beyond Good and Evil games except that I fell in love with the reveal trailer back at E3 2017. I first found out about it through Tumblr (check out their account btw: and I’ve been hooked ever since. With themes of acceptance, moving on and letting go, it touched me in ways I was not expecting, despite the gratuitous violence. Planet Zoo is one of my favorite games and I love me some dinos so I personally can not wait for this one.Īs someone who deals with mental illness, first game moved me. And the dinosaurs were more scientifically acurate. ![]() The only way I can describe this is if Frontier made Jurassic World: Evolution with the same level of customization as Planet Zoo. MY BODY IS NOT READY BUT GIVE IT TO ME ANYWAY! Legend of Zelda is one of my all-time favorite series and Breath of the Wild is my favorite installment of said series and your telling me their making a sequel? That’s dark and a little spooky? With a possible playable Zelda? SIGN ME THE HELL UP. Not gonna lie, I cried when Nintendo dropped this bombshell at E3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 The pixel art is beautiful and the premise speaks to my soul honestly. There’s magic and potion crafting and a cast of kooky characters. You play as a little witch tryin to live her best life in this super adorable indie game. ![]()
