inzoi got lots of sales from audiences outside of the Sims fanbase.

influencers are so unreliable imo

from what ive gathered today at least

#

I checked out the sims community on reddit, and they just don't seem profitableLike...they dont buy game lol

Remember how acottonsock was hyping inzoi up, but outside of paid deals, she's nowhere to be found?

Like, dont get me wrong, it's nice and all, but with no townie autonomy, played household autonomy that beraly works, no multitasking, shallow comverstion system, shallow personality presentation and the whole bugs and performance thing, there just isnt that much content to stay around for long

#

There also isnt enough stuff to do so, so once you get bored, thats it

She's doing a Paralives one now... I wonder if she'll stick or it's just promotional again ?

worn wolf
#

Probably wont

#

Its the shiny new thing and therefore gets the most views rn

#

Same deal as with tomodachi life

#

It's gonna fall off the radar in a few days

#

Though tomodachi life personaly had a lot more gameplay than what im seeing with paralives

#

I was suprised to see "Raptor" of all content creator playing Paralives earlier.
That game does not seem to fit his style, so probably promotion too

Wouldn't be surprised if they sorted by biggest gaming creators and just sent them all the same email to the tune of "do you want a free copy?"

Honestly if you're a life sim content creator you'd be stupid not to play the new trending thing.

# thin coyote But why ? inzoi is something else..ugh

Who knows. I try to stay polite and not say anything if I do not have anything positive to say... most of the times.
All suggestions are welcomed. Sadly devs have listened to many bad voices since last year. Some decision we're still trying to have them fix, uuurgh.

The animations that work, look quite good. Facial expressions are very well done.

But there arent many animations and the ones there are seem to end prematurely (like in cooking etc).

And you know how in the sims 3 sims had different animations depending on the way the conversation was doing? Paralives doesnt have that

verbal laurel
# reef vine imo people are just prejudiced against any mention of ai

I understand both sides. AI is a powerful tool, it produces good results when used properly.
But I am with the other side that feels it's moving too fast and it's a mistake to rely on it over humans.
I would not mind having more AI in my games, but not at the detriment of quality and imagination.

Imagine playing the old dungeon crawlers of old when you generated your own 6-8 member parties.
Having an AI "DM" evaluate your group and put forth challenges on the whim without waiting for huge development cycles or DLCs to spice your games up? Get friendly with the Prince in another type of MMO would suddenly have the AI evaluate all the moral choices you made and have him maybe romance you or try to have you... removed. While if you dont even talk to him, the game treats him as the NPC he always was.

lol i have no issues with AI in games. I play where winds meet. you can chat with an AI bot, run dungeons with bots, pvp against bots, etc... It's the future of gaming...

I do a lot of work in the AI space and it's not going anywhere. People can hate it all they want but the facts are that it's too ingrained in the functionality of corporations and business to just disappear.

People will either adapt it as a tool or fall behind.

I think design should always be human centred and human first, and AI used to cut out the monotonous repetitive shit that comes with tasks. It can make humans work quicker and better.

I don't love the effect on the environment, however.

@sage fern I was just going to piggyback off of the fact that there's a lot of opinion with very little research from the people parroting "AI bad". A lot of fearmongering.

TV has been overtaken by big companies, and small actors need a fighting chance.

My worries still stand that the creative industries and more are falling apart due to the accessibility of AI, but this isn't new.

yes, and that also paved way for other fields of engineering it just moving the goalpost and making people have to use their brains more over physical labor. Is that bad? depends on who you ask I guess.

sage fern

This explains it well

river frigate
#

in fact this seems ideal, if it just had the option of having traits for things that can't necessarily be defined on a slider/stats it would be perfect

sage fern
#

Personality is what your Para is like: their traits, strengths, and tendencies. Things like stats, vibe, talents, and social perks all define how they feel, what they’re good at, and how they generally approach situations.

Autonomy is what your Para does on their own without you controlling them. This includes their wants, habits, and automatic behaviors, like choosing to practice guitar because they’re talented in music, or cleaning up if they’re neat.

The important part is that personality drives autonomy. A Para doesn’t act randomly; their traits and talents influence their behavior. So instead of just having personality as a label, it actually shows up in how they act moment-to-moment in gameplay.

In inZOI, personality and autonomy feel more separate. Personality exists more as a set of traits or presets, but it doesn’t consistently drive behavior in a deep way. Characters can act in ways that don’t strongly reflect their traits, and their autonomous actions feel more system-driven than personality-driven, hence the generic feel

However, it's incredibly intuitive.

# fiery sorrel Yes

Not necessarily, I did an investment just to play inzoi and this is the only game I am playing now because I am into simulation games but yeah for sure not alot people will buy new pc just to play only one game

and its seamless

fiery sorrel
#

How does that work?? Also I feel like most wouldn't be willing to pay a fee to play a game either

wary jetty
#

I wish inZOI offered easier modding for GFN users with low-end PCs. It’s a scream and a half that I have to put my PC through pain just to get CurseForge approval for in-game footage of the mod.

it's not at all cheaper in the long run btw

so yes it is cheaper even in the long run

it makes sense for people who play sporadically, like people who play every day for a month then never again for a few months, but not really otherwise

a high end pc is well over 1k

i still think it's poo, 100 hours is not great but meh

at £100 it has a much better value proposition than i thought

most casual players dont play over 100hrs a month, and for those who do there are better sub tiers

yesterday my laptop was running at 95 celcius and i finally figured out that my undervolt was not applying because i closed the program every time 💀

my laptop runs inzoi just fine but i just wish i had more ram

I've had it on for months but i never knew Throttlestop closed fully and the undervolt wouldn't work

I wish laptops were upgradable

less so than a few months ago though

What is undervolt

theyre probably not gonna go down tho so rip

I have an msi though

sage fern
river frigate
# fiery sorrel What is undervolt

Basically reducing the amount of power ur cpu can use to make it run cooler, if you do it just a little it helps bring temps down quite a bit without reducing performance that much

sage fern
#

I cant invest in a computer till I have my own come

fiery sorrel
#

I have no clue what that means

river frigate
fiery sorrel
#

:(

There is only 1 brand that makes upgradable laptops and you have limited options there

'Framework'

fiery sorrel
#

After this laptop fails me ill switch to a desktop

#

I chose a laptop for portability, but it's so heavy that I don't really bring it anywhere anyways LOL

river frigate

Now that I finally have a proper desk and setup, I will probably build a little mini PC next time too

#

but... hopefully not anytime soon bcz i bought my laptop just a few months ago

I saw someone complain about the price tag of Paralives. Someone’s response to it? They said that it’s less than the cost of a single restaurant meal. What

That’s fair! I just thought it was a weird way to respond to criticism and a little passive aggressive from them

I think I'm done with Paralives for now. After 5,5 hours I'm running out of patience with the game breaking bugs. Left my review on Steam and wil lwait for the first bunch of hotfixes.

#

here's my review to anyone interested.

verbal gulch
open frost
open frost
#

I gave it a proper chance. I think it can become really good. But I am not gonna invest time in a save if there's so many game breaking bugs around.

#

Like I played 5 hours and my household is basically unplayble now

#

which sucks, I don't want to start over. My para finally had a little house going after starting with 0 dimes

verbal gulch
#

Yeah I figured ground breaking bugs would appear after awhile after seeing some gameplay vids, sorry you lost your Para fam 😮

open frost
#

Yeah I didn't really lose it but as I wrote in my review, I moved in the single dad but the dad just left his son behind (wasn't able to choose whether to bring him along), then I used a cheat to add the son to the household anyway and now the son is invisible, stuck and unplayable.

#

While his portrait marks him as part of my houehold

#

And that annoys the crap out of me. I wanted my para to be his evil stepmom

#

So yeah, I just closed it for now.

#

I'll try a new save once these major bugs are fixed. Because I did like the gameplay.

scarlet hearth
thin coyote
open frost
#

I do think it's unfair to give the game a recommended when it's borderline unplayable. Like there's early access bugs and then there's bugs that shouldn't even be in early access.

open frost

this one

spiral kelp
#

yeah ive come to my conclusion to paralives too and its not great but I do think it has potential and im happy to see it thru just in the current state for gameplay just not for me. I put 8.7 hours on the game so I could get a good idea of the game too

thin coyote

# open frost here's my review to anyone interested.

Thank you for leaving a review that wasn’t biased. I’ll definitely wait to play until it improves and gets optimized better overtime. I can’t believe they thought the game in this state is okay to let others play it. I know it’s in early access, but even Inzoi wasn’t that bad on release day.

open frost
#

Ive reported all my bugs on their website

normal schooner
verbal gulch
#

I feel like they knew it was bug filled (hence the roadmap already released showing bug fixes all year) but they didn't wanna get negative feedback from delaying it again 😅

open frost
#

Its inportant for life sims not to have major bugs that actually break your save. Many people want to invest years into a single save file.

normal schooner
open frost
#

At least their road map states theyll do nothing but bug fixing and improving performance until september

#

Which is necessary for sure

verbal gulch
#

I think a buggy launch will do them more harm than a month delay tbh but we'll see 😮

open frost

idt they had a choice, budget wise anyways

wheat merlin

They also had no playtesters so this is basically their true first playtest. Many bugs they might not have encountered themselves will pop up now

Yeah but nothing major like the shit we're seeing now

normal schooner

#

Only a few days in advance though, many of the bugs we saw will take weeks if not months to fix

verbal gulch
normal schooner
#

True, yeah. I wonder if many of them will stay for Paralives though. Since a lot of them left Inzoi

open frost
#

Patience will run out when everyone loses their save to a bug.

#

They have to act quick

normal schooner
#

I don’t want to take that chance. I’ll just remake my girl in Inzoi lmao

open frost
#

I hope theyll make it work though because if those bugs get ironed out ill have a great time.

verbal gulch
#

They delayed it from Dec to May to fix bugs and it still came out this way 😅

normal schooner
#

Like, what were they doing during that entire time??

open frost

Rags to riches is a lot of fun. Starting homeless is a great feature

I found the Paras autonomy to be better than Inzoi in some ways.
For example if there hungry they will eat. Inzois will stand around complain about it untill they virtually starve to death.
