Our Life: Background Sketch (Derek DLC)

Another brand new location that appears in Derek's Story. There's more summer fun times to be had 🥰️ 

Our Life 2: Prologue Expansion Screenshot

You get to have a little sleepover in the living room with Opal your first night in town 💖. She'll also mention what her actual job is! She relocated to Golden Grove to take on a newly available HR managerial role in a different branch of her same company.  

Our Life 2: Morning Background Versions

We're still working on making the early morning versions of the main area backgrounds. They're all really pretty! It's so much more magical getting up at dawn and walking to school in Our Life than it is to actually do it in real life, haha.

Our Life: Vianca (Ballet, Step 2)

Vianca is gonna be all prepared to attend ballet practice with Qiu, and possibly the MC too!

Happy Valentine's Day! 💞

Such wonderful gifts from such wonderful neighbors. We're looking forward to being able to share more of Step 2 Tamarack and Qiu from here on out! We hope you have a lovely holiday 🥰️

Our Life 2: Sticker Set 3

And here's the third batch of stickers! They're all so charming. It's still possible that more will be added eventually, but for now we're taking a break from adding to the options.

Our Life Now & Forever: Festive Track Sample

Here's another of the new tracks that didn't appear in the demo, but will be used in later scenes! It's a lot of fun :D

Our Life 2: Serenity (Step 2)

Today we're sharing the fully colored sprite for Serenity! They're so charming 💞

And, of course, I'm at it again with my beloved green-haired characters, haha.

Our Life: Beach Restaurant BG (Baxter DLC)

Wow, in the Baxter DLC you'll get to go out to eat at a sit down place that's not the Chinese restaurant or Tropical Place. That's a shock, haha.

Our Life: Wedding DLC Launch! 💖

Congratulations on your wedding, everyone 🥰️! This DLC is in the running for the longest expansion word-count-wise, added way more new art assets than prior DLCs, and is very alteration heavy with tons of ways to impact the script. We went pretty all out, haha. I hope you have a nice time during this special moment in yo...

Our Life 2: Promo 2 - Step 2

They grow up so fast 😭. Here's the second promo piece for Step 2! This time Tamarack's got her short hair and Qiu's got their longer style. Both options are really nice.

[CLOSED]

[The Wedding DLC was available as a bonus gift in the month of February, 2022. It's no longer part of the Patreon rewards]

Hello! Since we have a new DLC coming out, the Cove Wedding is being given away as a bonus reward 🎉. You may have already seen an email from us with keys to claim it on Itch and Steam. If you don...

Our Life Now & Forever: Morning Track Sample

We have another beautiful snippet from the game's soundtrack and also you can get a little look at one of the new BG alterations. Both of them are made for those calm and chilly early morning moments 😊

Our Life 2: Serenity (Step 2, Sketch)

This is Serenity, a demigirl who uses she/they! She attends the same school as the main group, though is one year younger and a grade below. So in Step 2 she's only 13. She's friends with Tamarack and Vianca, and potentially the MC too. Ren seems nice to her but the age gap is a bit too wide for them to hang out. And Qiu is w...

Our Life: Nicolas Suarez (Derek DLC, Step 4)

Here's the finished sprite for the littlest Suarez. He still loves to be the center of attention, haha. 

Month Beginning Post: February 2022 - Wedding DLC Release Date & Plushie Poll!

It's official, the Wedding DLC is done and we're creating the build to launch! But there were also other things that came together around this time that we'll be releasing as well. So, here's everything that'll be availabl...

Month End Post: January 2021

January is over and first things first, the Cove Wedding DLC hasn't released. It was completed, but there are now two extra things that are coming along with the launch of that DLC. First, we're going to release the Step 4...

Our Life 2: Sticker Set 2

We've made a batch of eight new sticker options to use in your files. They're really cute and give a good bit of variety, I'd say!

We'll be making a third set after this still.

Our Life: Beta Build 1.0 (Full Wedding/Step 4 Voiced Names! PC, Mac, & Android)

Haha, what a fitting build number to leave off on because this is the very final beta for the Cove story. After this it's gonna be Derek Beta 0.01, which is crazy. 

But before we worry about that, let's wrap up this wedding. We've been working on finalizing and polishing everything. This new version should be much ...

Our Life 2: Prologue Part 2 Screenshot 2

Qiu really tries to think about how to handle interactions, it's like a dance. Tamarack, though, is just a force of nature, haha. She does not wait and cannot be stopped in her friendship-making. 

Our Life 2: Vianca (Step 2)

Here she is, the lovely finished sprite for Vianca 🥰️. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to have her around in Step 2.

You can read more about her personality in the initial post about her HERE!

Our Life Now & Forever: Rain Track Sample

The soundtrack for OL2 is really wonderful, and we've got another beautiful track to share a sample of. This will be used further into the story for those quieter, more contemplative moments of life.

Our Life: Final Moments (Wedding DLC)

Wow, thank you for the positive review Cove. I'm glad you liked the game 🥺️

But seriously, the beta build is already out, but the full release everywhere will be happening very soon. It's almost time for the end of Cove's main game content. It's amazing and sad.

Our Life 2: Prologue Part 2 Screenshot

Once the full prologue is done it's gonna include the first day of school! Autumn is very cute looking without his jacket. As the narration will note, he's like a lion without his mane. But in terms of personality, he's still just as kingly. 

You get this reaction if you choose a more teasing option. Qiu can apprec...

Our Life: Beta Build 0.99 (Full Wedding DLC! PC, Mac, & Android) 💕

Congratulations on your wedding 🥳️!!!!! This version has the entire Cove Wedding DLC from start to finish. It's actually here.

Note: It is missing Kyra's formal outfits so she doesn't appear on-screen during the reception and the MC cut-in image also doesn't show yet because we're still workin...

Our Life: Reception Ending (Wedding DLC)

Some things never change. Baby boy still needs that reassurance, haha.

[Also, this is going up very late in the day because I didn't schedule it right, whoops.] 

Our Life: Reception Screenshot (Wedding DLC)

It's really a party now, haha.

This menu only appears if the two of you decided in advanced that you were going to do the cake smashing. If you didn't want to you get a different scene.

Our Life 2: Vianca (Step 2, Sketch)

Remember how we said in Step 1 you’d struggle to get along with Darren if you identified as a girl because Darren was deeply nervous around girls? That’s pretty rough, but this is what multiple Steps are for because in Step 2 here comes Vianca. She’s fully in her “the only people who really relate to me are other wome...

Our Life: Now & Forever Mini-Demo Launch! 🍂 (PC, Mac, Android)

The Our Life: Now & Forever mini-demo is now available for everyone! 🎉🎉🎉

You can finally meet the two new leads for the Our Life series and create a character of your own. The demo is under an hour long from start to finish, but it does have enough branches/alterations to be worth playing twice, or even mor...

Our Life 2: Step 1 Promo 2

A brand new promotional piece was created to celebrate the OL2 demo launch (that will be happening very soon)! It's the image that'll be on the main menu of the public version, too. 

It's so beautiful 💖
