The masterminds behind the recently launched life simulation game, Paralives, have been grilling it out in a Reddit AMA, spilling the beans on their focus areas, team expansion plans, and commitment to never selling paid DLC. This early access title has already seen an impressive response on Steam, with peak concurrent player numbers soaring to 78,603 and over 5,200 user reviews, 88% of which are positive. Lead developer Alex Massé and the team addressed a range of community queries, including the need for more autonomy in characters and the permissibility of adult content mods. The lack of paid DLC has fans buzzing, but Massé assured concerned gamers that their small team of 15 will stay afloat with sales alone, promising only free updates post-early access. Although multitasking features like eating while watching TV are not on the immediate horizon due to technical challenges, the team is planning bug fixes and gameplay improvements in the coming months. For those craving more details on fireworks, collaborations, build mode grids, gardening, Steam achievements, the occult, and more, check out the extensive Reddit thread. IGN's review praises Paralives as a 'rough-around-the-edges life simulator that makes up for its Early Access sins with a striking art style and some promising ideas.' Get ready, life simulation fans – it's time to dive into this exciting new world!
