OL2: High School Classroom BG (Sketch)

More of Riverview Peak is coming to life! In high school you have different class periods, you aren't in one place the whole day, but every different class is gonna use this one BG. The faculty just made the classrooms look identical, it works, haha.

OL2: Step 2 Prologue Script Preview 2

Well, Vianca makes a strong first impression, haha. And what a nickname concept!

Side note, this scene won't go just like this if the MC has changed their identity at the start of S2. Ms. Vianca will need to speak with MC about that immediately.

OL2: Qiu & Tamarack Extra Mouth Layers Step 2

The more scenes get programmed into Step 2, the more facial features I need, haha. Here's a couple additional pieces for Qiu and Tamarack to add into the mix. There might be other batches in the future.

And here's that second hallway! It'll be nice to switch between two BGs with all the school scenes in Step 2.

OL2: Qiu Step 2 CG Bakery

Here it is! The first of Qiu's Step 2 Moment-based CGs. It's so sweet 😊. This also reveals what's replacing the old barber sharp on main street- a new bakery ✨

OL2: Step 2 Prologue Screenshots

Now that there's some finished school backgrounds, we can share some proper school screenshots. We revealed through a script preview that it's random whether a lead is in your homeroom or not. And it turns out, them having a nearby locker is also randomly determined!

This shows a happy outcome where both Tamarack and Qi...

OL2: Emote Batch Batch 4

The number of emotes used by Qiu, Tamarack, and possibly the MC has expanded again! As I've written more scripts, there's been more situations requiring unique reactions over text. And, as always, they're too cute 🥰️.

OL2: Step 2 School Hallway BG 1

We've arrived at Riverview Peak! You spend quite a lot of time here in Step 2. A second hallway BG will be shown later. You walk around the space so much, it needs more than one hall location to use.

Project W Post: August 2025

Hello! Last month's Project W post was a little delayed and then we had to do all of the early new month posts for August. Since that's taken care of now, I'm sharing another fun-fact sheet for the lumulles. Today's topic is how they communicate!

Naturally, lumulles don’t "speak", not in the traditional sense. They a...

September 2025 Guest Art: Character Poll

Fall is coming! And for those still in school, it's nearing back to class time. Because of that I think it'd be fun to have a cute school themed guest piece. This month it will be for Step 2 Tamarack (next month Qiu will have a turn). You can leave a comment to say which hairstyle she should have and what, if...

Alright, as sad as it is to not have any more scenes during the OL2 childhood, it's very exciting to be continuing life into high scho...

OL2: Step 2 Prologue Screenshot

Oh boy, rain the first day of school! Probably not that surprising, haha. This is the constant risk of walking places in Golden Grove.

The background artist made these two concepts for the local thrift store. The version that ended up in game was B. But both of these look like very interesting shops to visit!

OL2: Step 2 Prologue Script Preview (Continued)

When I shared the last text preview, a lot of people were curious about what would happen if you didn't get someone if your homeroom, and how things would change if the characters were jealous. So, here's the rest of the altera...
