You voted for it, so Slumber Party you will get. At least you'll get Part 1 in next month's beta build, haha. But you picked a good one. Out of the three options available, this is only Moment with a full-sized CG! Now I can share a preview of it and show how cute it is 💕
Something's up at the sleepover.

Mixed Up is the ninth Moment I've written. It was another long one that took forever. I just barely finished it now, more than a week later than would've been ideal. But it's got a cute chapter card and there's quite a few interesting things that can happen 😌

2024-05-12 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Last month we voted on updating another old artstyle emote, that piece is still in-progress. But the poll determined it'd be someone from OL2, which meant one the few non-Our-Life emotes is getting replaced. So this month we're gonna be voting on adding a new emote from some other GB Patch Games title!

The realm of North Acres Elementary School is expanding! This is one level above the first hallway you see in the prologue.
Though, the school only has two floors so the finished version won't have those stairs going up.

These were some of finishing touches added to Magic- completed cut-in images and a sunset version of Qiu's fort ✨
You can see it all in action by trying the new beta we released!

Well, well, well, here we are already, with all five of the free-to-play Moments of Step 1 in the beta build. Yes, "Magic" is complete at the start of May, despite it being nearly double the length of Part 1 from last month. It's amazing.
Here's the second poll! Let me know which hair length Qiu should go with as they're having beach adventures.
Also, feel free to leave a comment on if you think they should have earrings or not. They will have their nails painted in this image.
The poll will close on May 8th.

Hiya!
Spring is slowly coming to an end here on my side of the world. And after two months of disrupted development, May should finally get things back to normal for me.
Hello!
This was a very long month for me, haha. It kind of seemed like the month that would never end, while also never allowing me to get caught up. I returned from a two week trip early in April and it took a bit to get back ...

Well, the poll to pick which Moment gets programmed next isn't over, but it's looking pretty likely that the event being added to the beta build after Magic will be Slumber Party! So, since people are that interested in it, here's a...

It's time for a new beta build! This version includes the first part of a brand-new Moment, Magic. And that Moment happens to be the last one that will be included in the free-to-play version of Step 1. Once all three parts are in the beta we'll be moving on to the DLC Step 1 Moments 👀
Make a wish 🥺️
