Each and every month they have posted the same thing and Next Steps Never Happens. I took screen shots because I thought I had imagined they were doing this on the development page, so I started taking screen shots, thinking I must be mistaken, however, I'm not. but is always changed to the next month etc. and the Next Steps (interactions, animations gameplay etc.) is pushed to the following month. is reposted for April, May, June, July, Aug, Sept, Oct. This has been done every month this year almost. Maybe even longer, because on their development page they post the same thing every month, (snapshots to prove it) but change the Month for Next Steps to the following month. Note: I didn't see toddlers or babies in the previews, there is still a ton of things to do before talking about a release date.Ī game isn't made in 1 day, it takes a long time, 5, 10 or 15 years. play to build mode only in Paralives ? I thought people wanted to play with life, it seems I was wrong You can also see how the game has changed over the past year when you look up the older videos.'as soon as it's released (possible 2021)'Ģ021 ? Hmmm.

Even if they haven't gotten entirely around to programming the gameplay, you can see that there's already some basic stuff that's been implemented (the zip line, diving into the pool, the secret bookcase/door, taking off shoes when entering a home, etc). Paralives, OTOH, has completely original assets and animation. That's a huge deal for a Sims competitor, considering the history of LGBT relationships in The Sims. Even if it is legit (I don't believe it is), it's also important to note that the dev is from Russia and didn't have plans to include LGBT people. IIRC, he said that he's a solo dev who made the game in under a year. He also made some pretty bold claims about the game's timeline.

Yet the game was supposedly ready to be released soon, and had apparently already been vetted and approved for Xbox and PS4 (yet, again, there was no gameplay at all in the trailer). IIRC, the trailer didn't even show any gameplay. The guy who was making People of the Newbery bought up some unity assets and passed it off as his own, so it looks like the trailer was just misleading set dressing. And it worked, so good for her I guess🤷‍♀️

Why post a negative video if you’re hoping the game actually isn’t a scam? Negative press isn’t gonna help the situation.

Idk, the video just disregards all indie game developers hard work to try and make it in a sea of triple A companies. That would slander their developing careers forever. I don’t think they would plaster their names all over this project if it wasn’t legitimate. The point of the Patreon is to make these game expectations a reality, right? Without funding, this game probably /would have/gone nowhere.

Of course not everything is able to be shown, it’s still in the early stages, and if Alex didn’t start marketing when he did, he probably would’ve still been working on Paralives alone. Putting the word “scam” is an insult to these creators. if she had made the video months and months ago, ya I probably would agree with her. So many of her questions had already been answered by the team. I think that the issue is that she claims “scam”, and then evidently does not research anything about the game. 3) It might not be a 'take all your money and deliver nothing' scam, but it might be a 'scam' in terms of over promising and under delivering. The video was just a warning for people to 1) Have realistic expectations for the game 2) Be aware that this does still have a chance of being a scam until it is 100% proven otherwise. Especially when you consider that it has happened with other games recently. Until they actually show us something solid, people have every right to be skeptical about it. Which could be because of the small team and early development factors, but it could also be a sinister move. And honestly, I don't blame her for feeling that way.Īs it stands, the Paralives team has said a lot about their game, but they still don't actually have a lot to show for it. The video was saying that without proper game-play elements being shown, no matter how much discussion there is about features, that it gives her scam vibes. Her video title was certainly a click-bait.
