It's time for the penultimate Step 1 beta! There's only one small part left, this build is most of the ending. We'll be saying goodbye to baby Ren and baby Baxter here 🥺️

OL2: Qiu Gym Clothes (Step 2)

Qiu's hitting the gym (because of school mandate) as well!

Also, I forgot to schedule a post to go up on Monday and then was spending time with family in the afternoon for the holiday, so I couldn't jump on and make a post on Monday itself either. It's always when you can't fix a mistake that it ends up happening, haha....

Also, here's a small fact that I found neat. There's a total of 667 Patreon posts tagged for Our Life 1. OL2 has now surpassed that number! I'm surprised there's already more OL2 stuff on here. The game hasn't even launched yet, haha.

OL2: Fall Ended Script Preview (Step 1)

Well, they tried. They all did. Being a prince isn't all fun and games.

Pure Text:

“Qiu reappeared in front of you as someone else. He didn’t have a single piece of normal clothes anymore. His signature fluffy jacket had been replaced with the costume of a prince.”

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: May 2025

Another post going up a date later than usual this month, but it's time to vote on a new discord emote! Instead of picking between different emotion/action ideas, this poll is to choose a specific character to get an emote. The theme of the poll is OL2 adults! Opal is left out since she has one emote already and she'd probabl...

The kiddos went leaf collecting 🥰️🍂

June 2025 Guest Art: Character Poll

Okay, this should've gone up yesterday but I forgot, haha. I was just too distracted by the wonderful Mrs. Lin costume. Still, now it's time to vote on the June guest art piece.

It's been far too long since we've scene little, baby Cove. This round we're going to vote on making an image of a classic OL1 Step 1 scene th...

OL2: Mrs. Lin Halloween Costume (Step 2)

If you guessed Hong was dressed as a monster hunter for his costume, you were correct! Last time, Mrs. Lin was an angel and Mr. Lin was a devil, now Yi gets her turn as the villain 😈. Here she is as a beautiful vampire on the pr...

OL2: Demo Plans

Hello everyone!

Since the demo updates are gonna be different going forward, I wanted to make a whole post about what to expect. Typically, we'd make little updates to round out what's in the demo better while still keeping it (somewhat) demo-sized. Now though, we're going over the top. We want to use the demo to give o...
