    it seems like a very humble game, from humble beginnings and I think that’s why we all want to love and protect this game so much. It resonates with us and how it’s not this ultra capitalistic greedy black hole to suck all of our pockets dry. It’s cozy, warm, and humble.

    Unironically looking forward to losing myself in creating one parafolk for 3 hours, then one room for 5 hours because of all the customisation options. It looks like such a cozy, relaxing game you can come to after a stressful day and all the builds are gonna be so unique.

    I really hope it’s on the switch. I wasn’t crazy about the graphics, but my mistake was to think of it as a sims alternative. It doesn’t have to be. It stands on its own perfectly fine as a cozy game and now I can’t wait for its release. Puffpals and Paralives are looking so good, big companies should learn.

    They have been doing amazing, and I love how they are being realistic with us and setting boundaries with what they can/will add. Personally, horses does feel like a stretch. I ain't a developer at all, but it seems they would be under pressure from all these announced life sim games, and they need to be very conscious of their budget - it isn't a very big budget at all. Despite that, they are still doing so amazing, and I hope they don't feel to much pressure/ expectations, much of their fanbase are happy to wait.

    I hope that Life by You coming out in the fall will draw in the Sims community, give them something to do, so that there'll be less pressure on the Paralives team ^^ So far, Life by You seems more solid on gameplay, and could have more content and scope since it's from Paradox, but Paralives looks sooooooooooo pretty and lovely and full of love ! I'm really really curious how these two games will turn out !

    Maybe they can make a supernatural DLC, that would be awesome. For me, I love playing with supernatural things, but I get they're trying to be realistic, so this could be a good way of implementing it.

    Paralives reminds me of Stardew Valley for some reason, I think it just looks like the cozy; comforting kind of game that you play to relax after a stressful day. The Sims 4 just feels like trying to keep your sims alive instead of actual gameplay (what gameplay? lol), Paralives looks more like a warm; calm *life* game and less of a stressful; BORING *surviving* game

    i agree, their art style is what's gonna make this game standout to the rest that are coming out right now

    So nice to see you in such a good mood! I would be fine if the swapped out the horses for hamsters, birds, snakes, turtles, and tropical fish. I'm not a programmer, but just seems smaller pets would be easier.
