    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.
    Also absolutely love your outlook on life rn and especially your magic greenscreen mug there 😊

    I think the comic book art style you talk about will make it so much nicer and easier to make unique characters. That can be for different races but also for styles like punk or fashionista or grungy looking Paras. I’m ready for Paralives.

  • @ClaudiaWowPaw

    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 lean towards this more than the other life simulator in the works I think in a big part due to the graphics. I like games on the cartoony side. The game looks fantastic really.

    I´m not a builder, I generally download other people´s builds in the sims, but with this tool, I´m dying to try it. I want to build my own dream home! I just wish I can do it in the style that I want. I live in rural northern Spain, and we have a specific look on houses, with celtic roots. Hope that I can build them now, and made them look ok.

    The steamworkshop is gonna be wild. I can already see those supernatural enjoyers making a Harry Potter-theme mod for magic and spellcasting
