Paralive: Indie competition for The Sims in the works
The Sims may soon face real competition in the form of a live simulation game. Paralives Studio, founded by Alex Masse, is currently developing its first project, Paralive. The team of indie developers describes its project as a “dollhouse live simulation” where players construct homes, design characters, and control their lives within an open world.
Paralives is in its pre-alpha stage and has not set an official release date yet. However, Paralives is in the pre-alpha phase, and the Paralives team has been providing glimpses of some elements in development, including the building of houses. The game has innovative construction tools that can be seen in the first demonstration video. The game is designed to be simple to use. However, they are still appropriate for builders with experience. Like The Sims, players will have the ability to manage their own lives and those of their friends who are the characters of The Sims game. They can let them live a happy or if they wish or a miserable life.
Recently the Paralives team released new tools to create characters. They are greater than those Sims 4. Sims 4. In the demo video, it is revealed that a set of sliders are available to alter the total size of the character’s bodies. It is possible to change the entire body from head to toe in a matter of minutes. Another thing to note is tattoos and body hair. Hair isn’t present in Sims except for mods. The tattoos on the body can be scaled freely as well as rotated. They can also be placed. At present, there are just a handful of already-designed skin tone templates. The developers have promised they will add more to their video. They’ll include more. However, there’s an instrument for skin tones with the ability to create a custom skin tone that can be designed using an existing palette or color wheel.
Paralive is expected to be released on PC along with Mac.
