📢 We are very excited to share the full development roadmap up until the release! We hope this gives you a better idea of all the work that goes into the game and what you can expect from Paralives. ✨

On the roadmap, you might notice that there will be an Early Access for the game. We still have some way to go before the release and we are not ready to announce a release date or an estimated price yet but keep an eye out for more news and game development updates! Everyone will be able to play the game in Early Access through Steam, no need to register anywhere.
Aside from this new roadmap, here is last month's recap.
