I'm really blown away by the parafolks developers. If all the info we are getting from all the games keeps like this, Paralives is definitely MY game. It's all so cozy and relaxing. This is what I need in my life!!!
As a black woman simmer with long BLEACHED curls, I am obsessed with the curly haired paras and the colors! Woohoo! Yeah, Sims 4 should have had all this upon launch! Completely agreed.
I've been thinking of bleaching my hair but I'm really scared of damaging it, did you dye it yourself or hit up a salon? Unfortunately all the black salons in my area don't do color on hair, just colored weave so I'd have to visit a white salon but idk do you have any advice? I'm 4C and my hair strands are super thick
@@glsssm9575 go to an Aveda salon or do it yourself. Use ion bleach cream and Wella toner. Bleach everything but the roots at first. Put the toner all over thoroughly and always follow the directions 😀
The level of detail they put in the food is insane, but THE HAIR?? The coily hair is freakin insanity. It looks so so so good. The fact that the East Asian Para looks East Asian _without_ mods is almost mindblowing. And they get bonus point for that dang plastic chair 😂
The asthetics alone for Paralives makes it my most anticipated game. I really really hope the game play is good because I could 100% get lost in the look and music of this
paralives is my favorite upcoming life sim, it looks and feels like a cozy game whereas sims is more of an upbeat funny game. i love the art style it reminds me of zelda breath of the wild!! and the vibes remind me of unpacking
Yes omg unpacking and zelda botw, also just the entire energy of the game is like listening to lofi. just so comforting and chill. takes me back to 2018
Paralives music has such cozy gamer vibes. Like minecraft, or stardew. I’m not really keeping up with paralives, and don’t know if I will be buying it when it comes out, but these tracks are getting put STRAIGHT into my playlist the moment it’s possible
I love the idea of there being so many new life sim games, but Paralives is, without a doubt, my favorite. It's just so cozy and you can tell there's a lot of love going into it with all of the details. So many people are complaining about it/saying they don't believe it'll ever come out because it's been so long. But they forget that this is small indie team, not a corporation with ages of experience and nearly unlimited resources under their belt. Paralives has all of these amazing details in items and gameplay because it's a passion project made by people who wanted more from other life sims. And I can't wait to get my hands on it, no matter how long it takes 💚
I messaged them on Instagram about doing an interview process for the paras. Including having certain skills already before getting a job. They said they will pass it along. I can’t wait for this game!
They said “Hi! That would be a very neat idea, thank you for sharing! We're still working on the details of how jobs and careers work so I'll make sure to pass along your suggestion 😊”
That's actually a pretty good idea. The only problem would be having low skills and being denied a job. However, maybe that Para could start with a more simple role. With lower payment, etc.
I really love the way the parafolk look. You can really see the diversity in how they look and personally I love the art style. The music is beautiful as well. I wonder how it will be affected as you speed up the game though. I suppose they'll have an alternate transition for it. I hope they show more on the traits soon and how they affect the parafolk's mannerisms.
I don't follow Paralives in any other way except through you because I love seeing it through your eyes, your pleasure in it makes me long for the game to come out. Take good care of yourself, RUclips must take 2nd place to your mental & physical wellbeing. Those that care about you will wait until you feel up to posting & stick with you through it.
Funny coincidence, I've not been checking on Paralives for nearly a month or so, and many of the things in this video were news to me as well! I think the only one I recall is the music update. And to be honest, seeing someone else be as excited about this game as I am whenever I see these updates really kicked up my motivation, just, in general :)
I’m excited to have options for life sim games! Triple A games typically take about 3-5 years to make (unless it’s square enix then it’s 15) so they might take a bit longer but I’ll wait 😤
Unfortunately, at my age, I may be dead before seeing this game or Project Rene. I have pre-ordered Life by You, since it comes out later this year, but I don't see Paralives before 2024 or 2025, and Project Rene until 2025 at the earliest. By then, I'll be 60.
I absolutely love the music of Paralives so far. It makes me feel so cheery and relaxed. The food is so detailed and makes my mouth water hahaha. Oh man does this mean that I will have the urge to eat while playing this game. I do really like the art style of Paralives, I can't wait to see more of this game. I love how there are more life simulation games coming out and even though they are the same genre, both Paralives and Life By You have completely different vibes.
Imagine if para folks will be able to have funerals for their loved ones and the music with that direction will be playing. Like it’ll be actually meaningful and not a freaking goaled event foolery
Out of all of the simulation games to come this is my favorite. I’ve been a Patreon supporter for over a year now and the care, intention and incorporation of feedback/crowd sourcing is amazing. Also I’m not really into the look for the games that are set to come. Like you said it’s super comfy and I can see myself getting lost in it for hrs
Maybe just me, but it's starting to feel like they've got a lot of the core foundations in place. They've got build mode, paramaker, music, etc. I wonder if we'll be seeing some of their work on the, for lack of a better word, meat of the game soon. (Skill levelling, jobs, needs, etc.) As someone who dreams of making their own games, seeing so many transparent updates throughout the development of Paralives is fascinating, especially with getting a feel for how the timeline can look.
As far as I am concerned this is how you make a game, you don't release it full of bugs and missing half the content it should have. I am more than happy to wait for paralives because it will be a better put together game overall on release. I don't want a "sims" type game because I feel Sims is going in the wrong direction... I love that this game is taking a different direction, not only graphically but situationally as well. While I can't wait, I am waiting patiently because this team seems to know that it's better to take the time and release it complete. Just my opinion as always. Be blessed Pixalade.
They haven't even released the game yet they communicate so much more than sims it seems and is much more detailed. I'm so excited to not get ripped off for a simulation game.
Thank you for this video! I haven’t been keeping up with Paralives news either. I love love love the music! This game has such a cozy feel. I’m still not 100% keen on the art style of the Paras themselves but I’m sure they’ll grow on me. I can’t wait to play this!
I hope that they slowly release the tracks to be streamable. I would love to just have them in the back when I am working on my writing or playing some other games. They seem like pieces that will keep me going for hours. I'm so excited for the game!
I always appreciate your news videos, even if I've already seen some of it, because I value the perspectives that you provide on the content and the experience that you bring to the table. I know what it's like to be in a slump, just know your fans love you and appreciate everything you do!
I hope the locs are pretty and can be in difficult lengths and styles. Not just straight but ponytails, buns, with clips and head bands, braided and more.
Would I be labelled as a difficult and weird person if I said I cried listening to that track? My heart felt so warm... It really felt like a grandma's hug and I miss mine so badly.
Absolutely love every time I hear news about paralives, I always get super excited, looking forward to when it comes out, but I hope they continue to take their time, they pour so much love and passion into their game. Thank you for the updates as always Matt, really appreciate it 😊
I think I'd love to listen to Paralives' music while reading. I love reading with ambience music on my earphones (and I can't concentrate with songs with lyrics) and it's so relaxing holy lord. One of the Paralives sandwiches would also be great along with my books XD
It’s the level of detail that’s going to drain my wallet. It’s what I love in all my games. Also, the music blew away my expectations. Wow! I can’t wait!
That one para Character with the hat was on his way to looking like Johnny depp 😂 .. I can't wait for this game to release tho I really love life simulation games so I'm happy that they are finally getting a lot more recognition and more games in that field are coming out so excited ❤
Thank You!!! I don’t follow paralives so this video is perfect. So far, I love the overall look of the townies and that ramen looked so real and detailed. It’s amazing to know this is BG and not mods and a million updates or some kit for $5.
Something i'd like to see in a Life Sim game if it would be possible is an open world similar to GTA or Skyrim & be filled with tons of vehicles,clothing & beauty options,plant life,animals,employment options, & fun things to do
I remember when Paralives was first announced I wasn't too hopeful, even though I was super annoyed by the sims 4 cause it would take me at least 30min for each loading I just couldn't picture any other worthy life simulator game. Now I believe I am 100% get this game
I don't use Twitter often, kinda gave it up in 2020 for my mental health, so I only get Paralives updates on YT. I thought I was fairly up to date from other RUclipsrs, but most of this stuff was new to me 😊
Paralives is going to kick The Sims' butt. It might look different than Sims, but just the amount of stuff in the base game of Paralives, is amazing. Most is something we had to pay extra for in the Sims. I can not wait to play this game. I'm buying it the instant it's out. I'm also getting Life By You. I might even drop The Sims. I have to be honest, am not all exited for The Sims 5, because of all the issues with Sims 4. My faith in EA is very low, and I'm looking forward to the two new life simulator games.
- Head of Design: "All right folks! We need an item common to all cultures to make any player feel at home! - Intern: This plastic chair, sir. - Head of Design: You are hired, kiddo!"
I think this game will be another top 1000 game for me, not by simply the actual options the game will contain but because the music is charming. I like pop3 for the music and the atmosphere it creates also I like space engine for the music tracks and the options if you enjoy to travel and visit other star systems and planets.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I hope there are no occult paras. Specifically with Sims 4, I feel like a lot of time and effort gets put into occult sims at the expense of other valuable life simulation gameplay. And imo real life relationships with friends families and lovers should be fully fleshed out and be the main focus since it actually appears in the physical world.
OHHH THERE'S ANCHORING IN THE ANIMATIONS?????? That allows for like sims to be taller??? cause interactions will depend on where certain parts of the paras are! WOW
I swear I've been hearing about this game for years and years and there's not even a beta version to try? I've been teased before, but Paralives is the realest.

hey, I might or might not ask you this but what software do you for text to speech?
Good video thank you for the updates :)
I'm really blown away by the parafolks developers. If all the info we are getting from all the games keeps like this, Paralives is definitely MY game. It's all so cozy and relaxing. This is what I need in my life!!!
Same
As well as the easy access to the steam workshop??? Mods are going to be PHENOMENAL!!!!!!! I’m so excited!!!!!
@@fuzzywormz1430 me too! :D
As a black woman simmer with long BLEACHED curls, I am obsessed with the curly haired paras and the colors! Woohoo! Yeah, Sims 4 should have had all this upon launch! Completely agreed.
I agree. I'm glad to see that hair in Paralives and Life by You has it as well.
I bet your hair looks so cute
I've been thinking of bleaching my hair but I'm really scared of damaging it, did you dye it yourself or hit up a salon? Unfortunately all the black salons in my area don't do color on hair, just colored weave so I'd have to visit a white salon but idk do you have any advice? I'm 4C and my hair strands are super thick
@@glsssm9575 go to an Aveda salon or do it yourself. Use ion bleach cream and Wella toner. Bleach everything but the roots at first. Put the toner all over thoroughly and always follow the directions 😀
@@mellyxstelly Thanks! Yes, you can see on this channel.
Can we just appreciate how every food has different cutlery specific to the food? The level of attention to details makes me so happy!
The level of detail they put in the food is insane, but THE HAIR?? The coily hair is freakin insanity. It looks so so so good. The fact that the East Asian Para looks East Asian _without_ mods is almost mindblowing. And they get bonus point for that dang plastic chair 😂
The asthetics alone for Paralives makes it my most anticipated game. I really really hope the game play is good because I could 100% get lost in the look and music of this
paralives is my favorite upcoming life sim, it looks and feels like a cozy game whereas sims is more of an upbeat funny game. i love the art style it reminds me of zelda breath of the wild!! and the vibes remind me of unpacking
Omg unpacking was so cute
Omg yes! I didn’t realize it but it’s definitely giving unpacking
Yes omg unpacking and zelda botw, also just the entire energy of the game is like listening to lofi. just so comforting and chill. takes me back to 2018

Paralives does give off that warm and nostalgic feels.
It's this level of attention to detail which will encourage me to gladly hand over my money for this game. Can't wait!
Fr! I Love when people pay attention to detail. It seems so little and possibly unless to some but it’s what builds the beauty.
I messaged them on Instagram about doing an interview process for the paras. Including having certain skills already before getting a job. They said they will pass it along. I can’t wait for this game!
They said “Hi! That would be a very neat idea, thank you for sharing! We're still working on the details of how jobs and careers work so I'll make sure to pass along your suggestion 😊”
UESSSS
yesss thank you so much. this is a relatively small detail that i’ve wanted in the sims.
That's actually a pretty good idea. The only problem would be having low skills and being denied a job. However, maybe that Para could start with a more simple role. With lower payment, etc.
Paralives give me hope
The Paralives world feels so alive and calming. So cozy and beautiful.
I’m beyond excited for the day when we finally have more variety in the life sim department- especially from Paralives 💙
They’re giving me life is strange in the BEST way!!
My exact thought!!!❤
Finally! This is what I've been thinking!
@@rue...whenwasthis I’m so excited to be listening to it in the game!
Yeeeeah! When I heard it, immediately life is strange pop up on my mind
YES, THISSS
Paralives for me, after hearing the music, made me think of Ratatouille, and Unravel. Like it's Pixar is to Disney, yeah know?
Extreme wholesome vibes and I’m totally here for it
I really love the way the parafolk look. You can really see the diversity in how they look and personally I love the art style. The music is beautiful as well. I wonder how it will be affected as you speed up the game though. I suppose they'll have an alternate transition for it.

Paralives is looking amazing, love the calming beautiful build music
I love Paralives and the direction it's going. The music made me emotional and I love how different the Parafolks look.
the music is definitely in-line with the whole game and vibe. I LOVE ITTT
The sound clip was seriously giving life is strange vibes that warm indi folk campfire music. ❤❤❤
I’m beyond ready for Paralives!!! It looks so good.
That curly hair is gorgeous 😍 I wish my own hair looked this good ❤

omg!! these paralives music tracks are AMAZING !!!!

Imo, this is a life simulation game we have never had. This attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing.
The mod & cc creators are gonna eat this UPPPPP! I CAN'T WAIT 🥰🥰🥰
I hope the locs are pretty and can be in difficult lengths and styles. Not just straight but ponytails, buns, with clips and head bands, braided and more.
Right that would be so pretty!!
Would I be labelled as a difficult and weird person if I said I cried listening to that track? My heart felt so warm... It really felt like a grandma's hug and I miss mine so badly.
The music reminds me of something that's been long forgotten

The food in this game looks so good! I’m so excited for more updates!
i’m actually surprised, the one thing i thought paralives couldn’t beat the sims on was an iconic soundtrack, and i guess i was wrong
I really can’t wait for this game…. Hopefully I get my dream set up before then
Oooh!! They've released this post, now, already? That must mean that they're very close to a reveal very soon! Awesome!!
It’s the level of detail that’s going to drain my wallet. It’s what I love in all my games. Also, the music blew away my expectations. Wow! I can’t wait!

The details in the doily was very impressive as well.
I cant say I’m going to stop playing sims 4 but I’m really cant wait to see these games come out

Something i'd like to see in a Life Sim game if it would be possible is an open world similar to GTA or Skyrim & be filled with tons of vehicles,clothing & beauty options,plant life,animals,employment options, & fun things to do
Life By You is headed in that direction. 😊 Open world, direct control of vehicles and humans. Especially since it's meant to be super moddable.
@@m3rcurymorbid do you know if they will release it on console and will it be able to be modded on there as well ?
I remember when Paralives was first announced I wasn't too hopeful, even though I was super annoyed by the sims 4 cause it would take me at least 30min for each loading I just couldn't picture any other worthy life simulator game. Now I believe I am 100% get this game
woah! the music makes the feel so much more comfy, i really cant wait to play it!
Im really down on the mood,but the soundtrack give me chill moments. I want this game asap
omg thats sims 2 detail that i missed im so excited
The music reminds me of my morning coffee Playlist. It's chill and calming.
I cannot wait to make middle class homes. I mean an above ground pool? Now these plastic lawn chairs? Literally why do we not have this in the sims?
It's not even out yet & i'm already crying 😭💕
I don't use Twitter often, kinda gave it up in 2020 for my mental health, so I only get Paralives updates on YT. I thought I was fairly up to date from other RUclipsrs, but most of this stuff was new to me 😊
The music reminds me of the game Alba. Heartwarming frfr 🥰
The music is something like "life is strange" vibe. I love it.
I want the tabs for Farewell Froggy so bad... wanna play that on my ukulele 🤟
in a sea of asset flip life sims, scams and the sims 4 kits, paralives shines like a bright sun
the Night transition sounds like it's inspired from serenade like the Filipino Harana
Paralives is going to kick The Sims' butt. It might look different than Sims, but just the amount of stuff in the base game of Paralives, is amazing. Most is something we had to pay extra for in the Sims. I can not wait to play this game. I'm buying it the instant it's out. I'm also getting Life By You. I might even drop The Sims.

finally something resembling real grass instead of the Sims 1D grass. The sims could do better after 20+ yrs
4am has to be my fav track 🤌🏾✨️
I want this game so bad lmfao. Even if its only a crumb. I'd settle for a sample game of this T_T
The ethnicity is making my heart happy to see, finally WE ARE BEING HEARD and someone is listening to what we want
LOVE THE NATURAL HAIR YESSS REPRESENTATION
Oh, I am loving it!!!! Can't wait. I got the same feeling Matt.
I think this game will be another top 1000 game for me, not by simply the actual options the game will contain but because the music is charming.
I like pop3 for the music and the atmosphere it creates also I like space engine for the music tracks and the options if you enjoy to travel and visit other star systems and planets.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I hope there are no occult paras. Specifically with Sims 4, I feel like a lot of time and effort gets put into occult sims at the expense of other valuable life simulation gameplay. And imo real life relationships with friends families and lovers should be fully fleshed out and be the main focus since it actually appears in the physical world.
I think maybe adding them later would be cool, but yeah, don't make them like the focus
i think the creators said that for now they wont make any occults
Occults wouldn't fit in with the cozy vibes patalives has
16:15 that looks like an unforgettable luncheon
OHHH THERE'S ANCHORING IN THE ANIMATIONS?????? That allows for like sims to be taller??? cause interactions will depend on where certain parts of the paras are! WOW
Talk about the greatest happiness coming from a video game😂
The music is so relaxing! 😍
Love it all!! Can't wait to play it. It's SO cozy!!
I missed your videos, you keep me company after work. So I love this longer video! Feel better, and thanks for creating!
Looking forward to Paralives. Hope it'll be on the steam deck as well
Wow, it's so comfyyy!!!!!! It's like when Im stress, i would just play the game to ease my stress 🥰
shades of Tubular Bells from the 70's
I swear I've been hearing about this game for years and years and there's not even a beta version to try? I've been teased before, but Paralives is the realest.
How am i nostalgic for a game that isnt even out yet!?!?
I think we can all agree about paralives that the worst thing is that it isn’t released right now! We are all waiting to play this amazing game
This is the first i’m seeing of this game, and WOW. Loving all of this! Looking forward to this game
No but listen, the only game I'll ever play with the game's music on???? IN THIS REALITY?
That music massages my brain.
Thank you for the news update!☺️
