Dll :3

Eu assisti umas 10 vezes. As expressões estão surreais de bom. Os olhos o movimento das sobrancelhas. Deu pra sentir a frustração dela daqui tadinha.

Gabrielle Boyer-Antoni

hi there! yes, we have access to Patrons' entire histories :) If you were at the Legend tier for more than 3 months, then you have unlocked most rewards forever - whether you lower or cancel your membership! more information here: https://www.paralives.com/patreonrewards thank you so much for your support, gab

Is there a way for you guys to see who has been a pledge for how many months in certain categories? I've pledged to the legend teir a few times but had to lower it to the tier I'm at now. I'm wondering if I'll still be able to access the rewards of legend (para, item name, etc) even though I moved my teir down?

Sophie Goodman-Merel

I believe they have different idle animations based on traits for adults, so it's possible it will be implemented later in the other age groups.

CheesecakeLasagna

Yeah, I kinda want to feel the anger not the passive aggressive kind. 😅

SIMplycoya

Wonderful animations! You all are crushing it! I think the “mean” animation could possibly have a bit more anger in the Paras face, maybe it was because I’m watching in my phone but it felt more neutral than mean.

Maya

All the animations look great and very dynamic ! Though I feel like the texture on the knees of Jane looks a bit strange when she kneels to talk to the toddler and baby. Also, will there be a mean talk toward kids and such ?

Synthia Hubbard

So excited to have kids in the game 🤗

Lino

Thank you so much Cathy!! We are very glad you like it! ☺️💌

Ellen Kaluza

These animations were so cute! The adult talking to toddler/child with the nodding head and face really captured what it feels like to be an adult talking to a child. Absolute love!

Lael

I'm so excited! Hope to see more animation variations!

ZLoves

Are you sure you don't mean "Toddler *Not* Listening to Someone" 😂 Super cute. Also, I would love to have that clock on the wall in real life...as well as that haircut! Beautiful animations, thank you!!💞

Crystal Lover

Oh my gosh, how cool! 🤩. I think my only question would be about variations in idle animation depending on traits. Like for example: the toddler at the end of the video was really antsy and curious but not every toddler is like that, so if a toddler in this game has a shy personality, will they be more still and skittish?

Chloette

One more thing— it looks like from this angle the baby has teeth?

Macayla

They’re doing gradual growth for the toddler stages. So I’m guessing this is the size at the early stage of toddlers. If you go back to the June 27th post, you can see toddlers that are larger.

Jan

I looooove the animations. They are so naturalistic and super fluid - not exactly hyper realistic. Just right for the art style.

Chloette

I agree with the mean interaction comments. Also, am I the only one that thinks the toddlers and babies look too small compared to the adult paras? The toddlers look baby size and the babies look newborn size.. otherwise I’m so hyped for this game!

Nathalie Carluccio

You really did a great job 👏👏❤️❤️ Thank you sooo much 😁

Johanna Andersson

Hi! I was thinking of upping my pledge to the legend tier, but I'm unsure if I'd like to see myself in the game. Could it be possible to ask for a custom para as a townie instead, as long as we provide reference?

Tina J. M.

Hi, If you don’t mind reading further, there is an animation I would love to see Paras do with their child : The Para would be laying down on their back on a couch or a bed with their baby or toddler laying down on their tummy on their parent’s chest. It can have multiple animations and motions connected : Action/animation : After the child had a nightmare, the parent could decide to keep the child on his chest for comforting him and both would fall asleep Motion 1 > it can be a private moment of confidence, just sharing a moment of calm and love in silence with the parent hands “caressing” their baby’s back and head slowly Motion 2 > same but both could be “talking non-sense”, make small noises, laughing and smiling at each other Motion 3 > same but it could be after the child had cried (from non-understanding a strong emotion he felt, after a fall, after someone was mean or after he made a mistake (a sibling or adult) Action/animation - while the parent is listening to music, watching TV or reading a book, while the baby/toddler has his thumb in his mouth and his sleeping/napping/ or just resting with his eyes slightly open with his head turned to the side Mixing a bit of everything I have in mind, but every motions/animations could be mix and match for the situation. It can even be done with an older child, with more behaviours available which would usually be done while siting or standing, but it would make it look like a strong bond between parent and child. I always found it to be a precious moment in time between a young child and a parent, it feels very private, showing a link between both parent and child and it always brings tears to my eyes when I see it. I’ve never seen it in a game, maybe it’s difficult to create or was not thought about , but as animations between parent and child I find it to be the most “bonding” situations. Even an hyper-active child has down moments, or just needs resting but not alone. Other one : the baby could be strapped on the chest of a parent while they are doing their business in the house, or doing stuff outside. (After re-reading I found myself to be very repetitive but it’s 4am and I’m very much done for today 😭 So sorry about that…)

Cindy Coetzee

I can’t wait! I’m so excited. Why’s December gotta be so far away 😅

Bethy Grace

I agree with the others that the mean interaction needs some tweaking - maybe the para listening needs to take a more defensive stance, crossing arms, hands on hips, rolling eyes, shaking head, something like that? As a variation maybe? The animations with the babies and toddlers are chefs kiss once again! One thing I'd suggest for talking to baby on the floor is some more touch, touching baby's tummy, nose, tickling their chin 🥰

Kellie Been

The toddler animations are super cute! I would suggest one thing: Have the option for an adult to actually lay down on the ground (on their side and/or stomach) with the baby, toddler, or child while interacting with them. I know that would be additional work, and perhaps this is something that is already being implemented, but just thought I'd mention it.

Chiara

"Listening to someone" is very good, I like the nodding. Can you make a variation where she listens with her arms crossed? It's a pose I often assume while listening so I don't have my arms just dangling about :-D

Ariana

Reading through the comments and I also agree that the mean interactions don’t look that mean. I think making the mean Para appear angry and the Para getting insulted look offended will do!

Lino

Thank you!! Taking notes!! 📝🌞

Josephin01

I would love it if a child could sit on the lap of a parent or grandparent if, for example, they were sad or had a nightmare. Can Paras even have nightmares? I would also like children to be able to cook and bake with an adult (and learn new recipes that way). Are there strollers, and can Paras even go for a walk in them? I would also like to see more toys for children that actually have functions. Not so much decoration, like Inzoi's... The animations looks soooo good in this post. I can't wait to play ❤️❤️❤️

Thabiso Ptk❤️🖤🤍💚

The Paras look so authentic! Their clothes, the animations, the hair, the babies and the skin details are just so refreshing.

Lucie Baha

yeah i agree, I think it's due to their expression that makes the interactions seem not mean/filtry enough otherwise I think it's good.

Millena Xavier

Oh my, I love how the paras kneel down to reach eye contact with toddlers, such an attentive detail! Great job as aways, can't wait for december! ❤️

Chance

the baby was looking the wrong way at the end when jane was talking to her but other than that, this looks pretty good! i do get the criticisms about the mean interaction not looking mean enough though 🫣

Maxayn Henderson

These look soo good. 😍

Hi Zach!! Thank you so much for your support!! 💌 We are currently emailing every patreon progressively for the rewards! If you haven't received anything yet, it should arrive in the future!! ☺️ You can also DM us with your email and we'll make sure to give you an update!!

Lino

😍🥳

Nick C

The hand and facial animations are smooth like butter, it’s crazy! I do agree with others that the ‘Mean’ animation isn’t entirely obvious, it sort of looks more like rudely/secretly gossiping about someone else, so I think it’s certainly still useful! Maybe something more accusatory would make it clearer. (And needless to say, the crouching to talk to the little ones is so cute and necessary)

mazyfly

The toddler at the end is super cute 😍. Amazing post as usual :) though, my only concern, personally, I feel like the mean interaction didn't look very mean/rude

Rosirose

I loooooove the awkward side glance at the flirt fail lol that’s so real

c.rose94

Their expressions seem kinda bland. I had to rewatch again but without being told I would never know they were flirting or being mean. Their expressions were too neutral.

Emily

Love these a lot! The only one I wouldn’t have been able to figure out without being told is “talk mean” — it doesn’t look super mean to me, lol.

Nocher Chubuk

Oh my god, there are only 19 Friday updates left until early access!! 😭💖

Nocher Chubuk

Wow, the animations look insanely good!! 👀✨They’re so smooth and full of life, I can’t stop watching them. Just a tiny thought – the toddlers stand a bit too confidently for their age. Maybe adding a little wobble would make them even cuter and more realistic. Seriously, you’re doing such amazing work, I’m beyond excited for Paralives! 💛

Lino

Thank you so much!!! 😍

Pvydrow

Would love for adult paras to kneel down when talking to a kid that's in distress or if they're asking something to the adult, just like how you guys did with toddlers and babies!

Lino

Thank you!! Alice made it and I love it too!! 💌 I'm taking notes for the Talk mean!! 📝

Thank you so much Trisha!!💌 We're glad you like it!!

Lucie Baha

What's wrong? They're still tweaking on it, anyway.

Lino

Lino

Thank you so much Elias!!💌

Lino

Thank you!!! 💌 For the patreon reward, you have 60 days after receiving the email to send your townies! As for pets, the reward will happen in the future!! ☺️

Swampboot

I really like the subtlety and nuance to the animation; it strikes an excellent balance between realistic and readable.

Eleanor Swan

So exciting!

Sonia Martinez

Oh my this is so delight and nice, i love the new parafolks for this showcase, i really want to see the kids animations because is one of my favorite life stages of life simulation games, but this showcase of animations was pretty good!

Vera Ohlsen

The toddlers look way better when they're talking - the way the face animates really brings them to life. (They used to look a bit dead in the face, when the focus was on larger body animation)

Diamond Morris

Love the animations ❤️

AZTHER

ugh I'm so looking forward to the game I already started saving for it

Carelle

Man I really do love the overall vibe of this game, it's so cozy I love it! The artstyle, the animations, the music, and the sounds. It's just all so nice.

Zach D

Love this! Is there any way I can check the status of my rewards? I haven’t really seen or heard anything and my anxiety is through the roof 😅

Flinka

The toddlers face... something is off..

Lino

Thank you so much!!!💌

Alex Massé

Please write at patreonrewards@paralives.com with all the details and we will see what we can do :)

~Cathy~

I love the toddler animations so much! And talking to the baby while it's in your arms is so sweet.

Madragal

Lino

Hi Becky!! Happy birthday in advance!!! 🥳We are really happy you liked the post!

Madragal

These are so lovely. Will you ever do a behind-the-scenes of how you make the animations, like Andre does the sounds and music, or is that more of a trade secret?!

Annie Laster

I'm so excited to use my legend tier you have no idea!

MGeekPoser

The facial animations are just SO GOOD!

Dominique Morris

With patron reward, if we named an item already but came up with a better name can we resubmit the form? I was so excited I didn't think about it and now I'm kicking myself because I came up with a punny name that's better.

Ana Caroline Martins da Silva

I hope to see more of Bianca, Jane and Mira. They're such a cute family 🥺🥺

Tyke

Looking great. Particularly like the animation of the toddler listening to someone, so spot on. Perhaps it was entirely down to not being able to hear tone, but thought the talking mean could use a bit more ‘mean’, if that makes sense.

BooDotBoo .

Love seeing the new animations.

Trisha

Thanks for a great update Lina! I love seeing all the different animations. Getting some that include babies and toddlers is even better. Now to look forward to the kids getting some more attention. I can't wait to see what you guys do with them!

River

Her kneeling and talking to the baby on the floor made me laugh. She looks like she's telling her she's not mad she's just disappointed 😂

Elias-Crayario

Idk why, but the „Talk Friendly With Baby On Floor“ is just so funny to me lol. Great job with the animations again!

FinesseFatale

So charming. I love the art style so much!!

Julio Saliba

Love the animations so far! Would love to see more advanced interactions in the future! Also question to add to the patreon rewards: for those who have that patreon email regarding the legend tier, is there a time limit on which we send our townie and pet pictures (like time since the email was sent) or do we have until November of any day or 8 December or some specified time? Thank you
