Hello! It's a new month, so we've got a new thread for asking questions. I'll try my best to answer all of them at the end of November, but sometimes I don't have an answer for things people are wondering about. That's especially true when it comes to Our Life: Now & Forever, which is still very early in development with ...
2022-11-04 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, and here's that poll for the premise. It's some cute, wintery concepts! It'll be great whichever one wins :D
You can vote for the character you'd like HERE
Poll closes November 8th.
2022-11-03 18:29:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time to vote on the last guest art for 2022 (though we'll have more in 2023)! In October people got to pick between all the Step 3 side characters who were being revealed outside of the Patreon. Now this next piece will feature one of the Step 3 characters who were saved for last. So, the options are Qiu and Tamarack, na...

Our ocean boy is turning 25 ๐ฅบ๏ธ. Thank you for all the years of happiness, Cove James Holden. And that's not even an exaggeration, haha. The first demo came out in 2019, over three years ago, and he still can make me and other people smile just by being around. It's wo...

Happy Halloween! If you celebrate that.
Derek's DLC launched over a month ago already. I've gotta thank everyone again for the support with that. It's been great to read about people enjoying his story and to see that pla...

Hey! We're going ahead and releasing an updated version of the latest Our Life: Now & Forever prologue. It doesn't have any new scenes but it fixed some issues with audio stuff and the MC screenshot feature, tweaked certain dialog to be clearer/have a little more context, and those new MC outfits made it in!

Here's another new place you'll get to see in Baxter's story. It's some neighborhood in the suburbs. What are those crazy kids up to now? None of the main cast live in that place.

The MC's backyard is beautiful with a great wide view of the forest. Though considering they just moved there it is, in fact, entirely empty. No cool fort or tire swing. Poor MC. At least they can always visit their friends to play on their stuff!

Oh, Cove. He's still the little baby boy we've always known.
But like the Derek DLC, Baxter's story will add some new content to the opening of his first major Step. This is a little sample of that. Baxter ends up being discussed on the walk where you see Miranda and Terri for the first time. I wonder what will come of ...

And here's the finished version of the first new background for the Baxter DLC ๐. It's been a bit slow going in terms of having stuff to show as previews, but the first few weeks of development have been productive!
2022-10-24 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Here's track 27! It's kind of a downer again, haha. But this one is less heartbreaking and more discomforting. With a song like this you can only wonder if the mood will go up from there or continue spiraling down.

It's time to meet the boy's club! The boy's club that turns out to have one single boy member, haha. Qiu and Renee don't identify as male when they're older. But hey, it's possible for the MC to join and if they're a boy they can bring that ratio up. And if they're not, it's an even more hilariously wrong description.

Meanwhile, the cast of Our Life: Now & Forever: ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ข๐ญ๐ญ
But we all know he's lying to the MC, and himself. Also, now we've learned where he's attending college- in Virginia! He was born and raised in Oregon.
2022-10-21 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Both Our Life games have new scenes in the works and now that there's more for the characters to react to, Baxter and Renee needed some additional ways to express themselves! These extra faces are pretty great, haha.

More rainy weather alterations for the BGs! They look really nice with the sprites.

Why are you asking me that, Baxter? Are we once again asking questions we don't want the answer to? Haha, it's not 19. It makes a little more sense why Baxter said his parents thought sending him to a beach town in California for the summer "wasn't too exciting". If we remember from Derek's DLC, getting to and from Sunset Bir...

That's a fun fact! You see Ren's house on the way to school before you meet Renee herself. Now you know where the teacher lives, too, when she's weirdly not at the school like all teachers should be.

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to, Cove Holden. Oh, what grand beach adventures will be had now that Baxter's involved, haha.

Today we've got Qiu's Step 3 sprite lineart! We shared a design sketch and described their personality HERE. They're so charming ๐ฅฐ๏ธ

Here we have the first look at a unique BG from Baxter's DLC! It's a lovely path outside of the city. Baxter might not know much about the area, but he's willing to put in the effort to find nice spots to visit. He's quite the sightseer, haha.
2022-10-13 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! I wanted to let players here know that we currently have new positions open at GB Patch Games. We're hiring some additional writers to help with the Baxter DLC.

Here's a sample of track 26 (not counting songs that have multiple versions like Nostalgia and Flutter)! It's a rather dramatic piece for the most trying of moments. Life can be tough ๐ฅ. But at least in Our Life we know it'll all turn out okay in the end, ahah.

He's wearing a shirt 'cause he doesn't wanna sunburn. And it's still gotta be black and white, haha.
But the artists have begun making new pieces for the Baxter DLC. Hooray for the beginning of progress ๐

What a wonderful bounty ๐ฅบ๏ธ. The prologue in Step 1 has both a full introduction CG and an extra little cut-in for both Qiu and Tamarack. Qiu's cut-in appears during the current beta build, and now we can see what Tamarack's is!
2022-10-08 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
Yesterday we released more than one update patch for Our Life. First was to fix errors reported throughout the Derek DLC launch week, then to fix an issue with some saves not being able to work with that update, and then to fix an error that we became aware the same day we were doing the other updates. So, it was a ...
