Paralives announced its Early Access release!

By

Paralives announced that it will release the early access on December 8, 2025. Paralives is an upcoming life sim game with a familiar feel yet its own charming art and color palette. It vibes with simplicity with a fresh look. Yet the game also features an intricate build and buy mode.

In Paralives, you take care of your Parafolk settling down in a small town. There will only be one neighborhood town at launch. Although the developers remarked that more towns and neighborhood will follow. Some notable features in the game include: 
  • grid-less building or item propping.
  • resizable, stackable furniture.
  • boat-houses in base game.
  • familiar gameplay with jobs and school.
  • pets like dogs and cats are confirmed in the base game.
I'm wary not knowing how much emphasis is given to the Parafolks' actual live mode in terms of getting a job, thriving as a bachelor, or building a family. You can make a single couch into a double couch by dragging its length. It looks like a cheat function. However this can also be seen as an innovation. 

You can also build rounded walls, adjusted ceilings and more. 



Parafolks will have six life stages from being a baby to aging into an elder. They have needs and wants based on their generated thoughts. And they will also speak in gibberish known as Parli. 

inZOI felt complex from the get-go and appeared like an architecture design software rather than a game. And I feel oddly excluded from the Sims 4 that I don't find their new content appealing. And until now I'm bummed about Life By You being cancelled. Paralives looks easy enough to learn from the start. The cell-shading and cartoonish appearance makes it look pleasing to try.

As mentioned, Paralives will release on Steam via Early Access on December 8, 2025.

inZOI early access

Source: Krafton inZOI announced that it will hit early access on March 28, 2025 . Honestly, I would say that they take their time. Life By You getting cancelled only added the hunger for a fresh life-sim. inZOI looks very interesting. And I prefer to have inZOI take their time for a successful launch as it's primed for the life-sim market with rivals like Paralives and Sims 4. What's the big deal with inZOI? Create beautiful ZOIs. Gorgeous weather dynamic. Customize the world according to your play theme. Impressive build mode. Open world with live map. The beautiful character creation, the live open world, and gorgeous weather dynamic are the deal makers. The building aspect is secondary. But I'm impressed on how you can edit the overarching theme for your city such as adding the post-apocalypse setting. Sort of like add roleplay into the world. Players will also encounter unexpected life events in the game. Which complements the open world and live map similar to Sims 3...

The 4 Things I've learned in 2024

1. An hour is plenty of time. It's my fault for not treating time as a precious commodity . I viewed time as something expendable. Or I'm always telling myself that I'll have time for things tomorrow. But time moves forward. We can't bring time back once it's spent.  It's not about pressuring myself to do something early on; or adoring deadlines; but it's about trusting that one hour is plenty of time. What's ironic is that my work involves time management aka university exams. So there was one time that I could not sleep at all. Not at all . I was still awake at 4 AM. I had no choice but to start the day early. A Monday to boot. I played New World for one hour: hence fought off a lot of enemies, completed nine quests, and earned about 3k gold coins. Then went back to bed at 5 AM to try to get some shut eye for an hour before getting up again at 6 AM. Maybe it's the one in one hour . One surely sounds small. But one hour is still 60 minutes. A t...

Exciting news as Palworld: Feybreak, Palworld's next major update, releases on December 23.  The major update will add a new island that developers claim to be six times bigger than Sakurajima Island . There is also a new Faction leader to beat, new weapons at your disposal (such as the M1 Garand, AK-47, SMG, and a plasma sword). And also new pals to capture. I'm mostly excited that they're adding another building theme. Specifically, are we expecting a new plantation? Check out the official trailer below. So now that I have Palworld at least to help me enjoy the winter break. And I'll say additional brownie points to Pocket Pair on adding a major season update despite their current lawsuit situation. I'm glad to see the game and the map slowly growing. This extends Palworld's overall longevity for both single-player and multiplayer sessions.
