I feel so proud of the Paralives team. Like a mother. I wish my economy could allow me to support them in patreon tbh

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 really appreciate simple, sincerely designed games like this

You're right. The characters in paralives look like real (drawn) people. I really like the art style, too.

The art style definitely grew on me and now I'm eager to create characters, build, and play. They're hard at work on live mode now but I can't wait to see more about genetics and personalities.

I, so badly, want to play this game for hours on a rainy autumn day

Tbh i like how they are confident of the game they are making but they're open to DLCs as well in the future because you never know, maybe there's something that players would really really want to see and the can always add it like supernatural creatures, you know?

I think with so much insanity and stresses of real life I think Paralives decided to keep it simple and cozy is the right choice. I am super excited to see it released, even though it will take longer than usual because it is a small team. All the best to the Paralives team!

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.

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.

I live how he talks about touching grass while his cup is glitching out as if he was in the Matrix xdD

I love how the characters look now? They did look very weird or uncanny at first but it seems like things have smoothed out and it’s a cross between sims like cartoonish to realist or drawn like how I draw my anime etc. I’m digging it!

1:57 wow that parafolk is beautiful. And in base game, not like the sims that you usually need cc to make stunning sims lol

I love the art style of paralives! Definitely more of my thing than life by u

What I'm looking forward to in this game is spending hours customizing everything and then actually wanting to play with what I've created. We haven't had much gameplay yet but just the idea of being able to send my para outside to smell the flowers and lean against a tree makes me happy

As a person who played GTA to drive within the lines, stop at stop signs and red lights, and overall follow the law, I like plain and normal lol

That floating microphone is making me crazy

I think, it would be a good idea for base game of Paralives to have horses in it. Only because it seem more challenging add in later on with DLC. Plus, if the coding is there for horses. They use the coding for dear, and other similar animals later on.

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 like the characters they look like a realistic comic book.

You should think about streaming on Twitch sometime! Love your humor/voice. I would watch you just playing the sims or any game for that matter.

That ending was the kind of positivity and pure happiness we need more of in this world! ❤😊 I will go smell some flowers, thanking you!

It really is nice of them to take their time with the game’s development. Been years since we first heard about it. It’s like they’re taking into accounts the things that are limited in their future rival game(s), and trying to bring as many features as possible into their main ‘base’ game. With the current crash-grabbing spree of The Sims, what the team of Paralives are doing is very much appreciated. Have a nice day, Satch!

I love the little details. The basket on that bike is ABOVE the bike light. TS4 just stuck the basket right over the light. 🙄 Garbage bin and recycle bin. There's even a power meter on the side of the house.

I was not sure of the graphix of the avatar themselves at first.... but the look is growing on me (especially since i am a graphic artist myself =) I LOVE the "comic book" style!!!

The best part of this game is the competition its gonna give the sims. Competition always breeds better games.

ngl i love when you're a salty bish roasting the heck out of the sims but this was a really wholesome video and it sounds like you're doing really well

Treat yourself! The world is so much brighter and better with something to balance the drama~ Also Paralives looks so cute, and so good. It kind of reminds me of the New York New York manga, maybe because it's style is so unique and different!

I really hope paralives adds a build mode mirroring feature. I LOATHE the fact that in the sims 4 both of my end tables open the same direction 😭

It's interesting to see how the art style is evolving! 😍 You can just see how they have spend a lot of time on it. Tweaking it over the years and improving little aspects. This game is clearly made with love and care. 🥰

I cannot WAIT for this game to come out. I am also very here for horses being in the main game.

Omg when u talked about curved walls I just remembered we got that in the sims 4 but extremely broken unless maybe they fixed it? Video idea! Check the curved walls progress

I love this team so much, they have come so far and are doing so brilliantly~ I love the art for this game as well, it’s right up my alley ^^

The graphic style /design about thé folks reminds me a little about Life is Strange and the telltale games series like in The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us or Game of Thrones

I love this video. This time you sound so calm, chill, and relaxing, like the paralives. Today was a bad morning for me, but your chillness made me smile. Thank you so much, Satch, and Paralives.

i love the animated style they have going on. it's really cool~

I cannot wait for this! The custimization looks so good! I am definitely a customizer and I love to experiment with building and such. Also, I'm IN LOVE with the art style!

Another great thing about this game is the music and sound effects. They all are so chill, relaxing, and cozy.

You tried your best and that’s what matters 😂 I’m glad to see you doing well

Loving the green screen mug x

Thank you for this awesome update/opinion video. Paralives is so refreshing so far. I love that they’re not going “hype crazy” and I’m really looking forward to it. It seems like it has a SDV sort of chill, cozy vibe and I love it. ❤

it looks so beautiful and peaceful. just watching the snippets of gameplay and building calms my anxiety tbh. I’m excited to see how the game changes over the next bit :)

I love this video, I'm so excited for this game and I love your vibes! 😊❤

I am really excited about what you are showing here. I like building, creating characters, and gameplay. My style is basically anything fantasy, fairytale, occult, strange, storybook. Like, I won't be building that suburban American house. 😆 But I'm wondering if Paralives will have options for fantasy realm players?

12:53-13:06 you listing your plans out unexplainably calms my brain and makes my heart happy lol. Thank you.

Wooooooah the difference!!! It's so beautiful!!

Satch!!! I just wanted to let you know I’m proud of all of your accomplishments but especially towards your health. You have played a part in inspiring me to get off my arse and move. Continue being hilarious 🤗

Not only do I love paralives but I also love your glitchy cup 😁

Another great video. Thanks for covering this. Paralives might be the simulation game I was hoping for when I first started TS.

I saw a height scale and I'm already sold

The black outline reminds me of Disney's 101 Dalmatians. I remember something about that being a very new style and technique for the studio in the 60s and I love the aesthetic to this day.

Enjoy your summer adventures, Satch! 😊

I love how honest and fresh you are within the community (it’s needed for sure lol as the Sims 4 makes me so mad sometimes with how… disappointing it can be still lol), loved your Hogwarts Legacy videos on your side channel too! Paralives really does look like it’s getting better so I’m very intrigued 🫶🏻

I am so excited about this Paralives. I love to build and all their built in options for building and customization is stunning.

Im in love with the art style. So excited to play

this is a really exciting game im looking forward to it so much (and i cant stop laughing at the effect your chroma filter is having on that mug)

You're so funny 😂 so glad I found your channel.

People have been so impatient with Paralives. I'll wait as long as I need to, I dont want another unfinished game...

I cannot wait to play this game! The customisation options alone are giving me life!

Your laugh always gets me everytime! Hahaha I'd watch a 15min vid of you just laughing. 😂

I'm cautiously optimistic about Paralives. I don't mind the animation as it does remind me of TS2. I'm happy with building mode and now I like to see gameplay. I look forward seeing more of their progression.

They clearly noted how Sims players don't care about high graphics and prefer the game play to be good.

The Paras remind me of paper dolls in the cutest possible way.

I really love the artstyle of the characters. They have a cozy dating game aesthetics.

loll i love your high on life mood 😭😭

I love this art style so much!! I’m a cozy gamer and this looks kinda perfect, but I also always have more faith in indie developers. I feel like they tend to put more love and care into their games.

This was just cozy. Thx for the nice words ^^

I’m looking forward to this game ❤

I'm so excited for this game 🥳🥰

I like the style of Paralives more than the one in Life by you. And also, it should be a game that is less demanding of my computer then the life by you will probably be. I definitely am interested in both of them and will follow their development and watch first gameplays before making my final decision. For now, Paralives is absolutely winning.

"American blue suburban" Oooooo shots fired at Little Simsie!

I am really excited about Paralives! I love the comic book look for the characters, and I feel like it works really well with the rest of their graphics.

this is going to be one of those meditation games, feel good games, anti stress games, good for the soul games......love It, can't wait

I like how realistically Sims2 sims behave and Paralives seems to have captured that perfectly in their people. I'll always play Sims2 though.

omg paralives has improved so much since I last saw stuff about it im genuinely excited for it

You are looking very handsome, love the facial hair 😊

Happy Easter

It's nice to know a that you are enjoying life.

5:15 DAMN those walls curvier than a pixar mom

the character style kind of reminds me of The Wolf Among Us.. which is a Great game. so i'm definitely excited

I love how you can change the height and tattoo placement

I'm soo excited about this game! I'm a family player and I'm so curious about the kids and babies, especially now, that TS4 got infants. I'm also wondering if the Parafolks will be able to grow taller, when they age up, since they can actually be different heights.

You are gorgeous when happy ❤

They have said that their artstyle draws heavily from Studio Ghibli movies! When you look at the hand-drawn textures on environments and the outlined-cartoon (or ig anime) style characters as a contrast it really makes sense!

This game looks therapeutic, I’m looking forward to getting it!

I want his sweater, damn

It looks pretty good :D

Ah! No more control, shift, C for cheats 🎉 I love ❤ the character creator and the people behind the artwork, well done! 🙌🏻

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

The art direction reminds me like what Need for Speed Unbound did with its character models, but this works better because the cel shaded characters are in stylized environments rather than juxtaposed into realistic cars and maps.

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 know the sims 4 has us all fed up but I just want to say the grass is always greener on the other side until you get to the other side hehe that's why I'm not putting my hopes in a new game, paralives or sims 5 bc everything is going to have issues, just different issues and I prefer sameness. I rather deal with the well known issues of the sims 4 than new issues from new games, specially sims 5 which will come bare bc new simulations games always do. ANyways, love your videos and always laugh out loud with you :)

I think the artstyle is like cell shaded. Bit like borderlands. When is the release date ?

Satch, looking all healthy and happy. Good to see. I agree with almost everything you said except for the character models, I'm still not 100% sold on them yet but I think they'll probably grow on me.

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.

Yesterday I felt like building instead of playing and searched for unique or weird floor plans and a lot were very curved. Nautilus shell shapes and all. Definitely can’t do that in Sims 4. Looks way more possible in Paralives.

Is paralives in EA and how much is it?

WHEN DOES THIS DROP?? I WANT IT NOW LAWDDD PLEEASE I WANT TO SIT UNDER A TREE !!

I missed a good chunk of what you said while I was looking at the mug
