The piece is coming together! And only getting more precious ๐ฅฐ๏ธ
2023-06-26 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostCove packed a bunch of battery powered candles for the wedding night because he is a true casanova, haha. If you don't like them, he's okay leaving the candles in the suitcase, though.
2023-06-25 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the MC's living room was first conceptualized, it got two potential versions. The one in the game is "B"! "A" was very cool too, but it won't be turned into a background in the actual game. I'm just sharing this as a deeper look into the overall development OL2 has gone through.
2023-06-24 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostToday Our Life version 1.7.1 went live! It fixed the errors reported for Baxter's DLC and added a handful of improvements throughout the entire game. If there are any updates beyond this, they will only be to make minor typo fixes. Our Life has reached a definitive state of completion after almost three years!

2023-06-23 17:59:37 +0000 UTC View PostYep, he's still cute ๐ฅบ๏ธ๐
2023-06-22 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAngel baby ๐ ๐. What is she up to?
This is Tamarack's first CG from a Step 1 Moment. You can probably guess where this is set even in sketch form, haha. Of course that's a spot where she'd have a key scene.
2023-06-21 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHow fancy. The robe/towel clothing layers I shared earlier weren't there to skip past cleaning up after the wedding. The process of unwinding in a nice big tub is part of the story! And it's a large enough bath for two ๐
But because this is an 18+ bonus story, I'll include the disclaimer that you can't have sex...
2023-06-20 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBuying snacks is serious business with the boy's club ๐ณ. Are you gonna risk it all? You are allowed to join this high rolling game, if you brought enough money. Not winning means you get a free snack and still have your money, "winning" means the little snack money you have will only cover buying their snacks so you can't ...
2023-06-19 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostOur Life: Beginnings & Always is back on the regular sneak peek rotation! I'll be switching back and forth between OL2 and this upcoming Bonus Moment until it has released.
After an incredible, yet exhausting wedding day, you and Cove can get very comfy in your hotel room ๐
2023-06-18 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the fully colored version of the top level for that special place ๐. I was glad to see people enjoyed the reveal when I shared the sketches before.
2023-06-17 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome back ocean man, haha. You've been missed ๐๐
You can read the full announcement post on this brand-new, in-development story HERE!
It answers a lot of general questions people are probably gonna have about it.
2023-06-16 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, you got me ๐. I've been hedging people's hopes on this for a long time, but it was always my goal to make it happen as long as an interest remained after the last of the proper DLCs released. And now I can finally say that we are actually making one more story with Cove Holden, or whatever last name you went with for...
2023-06-16 17:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe CG is done! This is the first CG that's been created for scenes outside of the prologue. Our Life: Now & Forever is coming along.
And I can also show the expression sheet now. It's adorable ๐

Character bios aren't the only neat assets that are being made to promote OL2. We've also got this charming story summary image โจ
If I ever get around to doing physical merch, I'd love to make fake post cards from Sunset Bird and Golden Grove, haha.
In other news, I've narrowed the launch window down for the Our...
2023-06-14 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThese screenshots show the difference between the first and second time you, Qiu, the club, and Tamarack join up to go on an adventure together ๐.
It ties into the Linked Moment concept. I made a post explaining that recently! You...
2023-06-13 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostFor those who have been waiting to figure out what Qiu was talking about while walking to school, this is it! The special thing that's only in the woods. I think it's a pretty nice place ๐. It's so special it gets two background perspectives, haha.
2023-06-12 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Today I'm making a post to share information on a neat new element of Our Life 2. It's always been the case where the game remembers the scenes you've already done and those experiences can impact the Moments you do next. However, in Our Life: Now & Forever there will be a small bunch of Moments that a...
2023-06-11 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHeya, we have the monthly emote vote today. This was what we got from May's poll-

Haha, poor Vianca. Now I'm thinking we could use another Derek emote in the mix, so for June he's the only option! You can vote on wh...
2023-06-10 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThese are the initial design options for the forest BG that's in the game! All of them were nice, but the version that ended up being used is my favorite for sure.
Finished BG for comparison-

Here's The Diner Table in all its glory! Such a nice place to find on the outskirts of civilization, haha. Past this, the road just goes into the mountains.
2023-06-08 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHaving two leads who can always bounce off each other has been a lot of fun, haha.
And it's nice to have new screenshots to share. It's been a little while, but there will be a lot more coming. I've been knocking scenes out since Baxter's DLC released!
2023-06-07 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostQiu's coming down the road as the CG is coming along. It continues to be very cute ๐ฅฐ๏ธ
2023-06-06 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Today's the day that the monthly question thread goes live. Things asked here will get an answer near the end of June in a recorded Q&A session (with a text transcript). You're welcome to ask about past, present, and future GB Patch projects, as well as the company itself.
Small disclaimer and g...
2023-06-05 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWow, here's the last BG for Baxter's DLC! But of course Mr. Monochrome's guest room is black, white, and gray, haha.
2023-06-04 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, it's time for another bonus piece poll. Since we're gonna be in the thick of summer and in the heat of Our Life: Now & Forever's development when this shows up, we should have a summer themed OL2 guest art!
Tamarack was fairly recently featured, so Qiu can have a turn now. I'm also thinking it'd be super cute ...

Aw, what a sight for sore eyes. It's been a while since we've seen our ocean man around here. That's just not right, especially now. This is his time, it's his season. We c...

Hi everyone ๐
This month had a lot of progress and huge happenings, though very little of it had to do with the normal game development work I usually mention in these posts.
Here's a breakdown of what's gone on lately...
2023-05-31 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Thanks as always for following us here on Patreon. To keep you all in the loop, I wanna announce that there's some changes coming to the reward tiers next month. Starting in June, some updates need to be made to work with the fact that the OL1 DLCs are done and OL2 is the main game in development.

2023-05-30 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe Kickstarter for Our Life: Now & Forever will go live in fall of 2023! Whether it'll end up being in September, October, or November I'm not entirely sure yet. But it could be happening in as little as three months, so I've gotta start promoting this already, haha. I just didn't want to do it until the last of the OL1 ...
2023-05-29 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThis is an old design option sketch. With Our Life: Now & Forever, most of the backgrounds start with multiple options for the perspective/content of the location. I pick the one that fits best or sometimes aspects of multiple BGs are combined together to form a new composition.
I've shared a few of the design sketc...
