There's gonna be a slight delay in the next Our Life beta build coming out. It was gonna be this month, but the engine (Renpy) got an update and now there are a few things we have to tweak for the game to function properly with the changes. I'm really sorry for that. The problems aren't anything major, just small frustrations...
2019-11-30 06:05:08 +0000 UTC View PostWe've got another art test! The artists who do these are free to draw whatever they like, the expression this time ended up a bit out of character for our shy-guy but what really counts is how closely you think it matches the game's normal style.
Please vote on if you like the idea of this look being used in CGs o...

We've got another new location coming. It's a fun eatery that teens and young adults like to visit. Cove and/or the MC can end up working there in Step 3.
2019-11-26 22:12:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey! We've got another of those quick polls. We're still looking to hire a second CG artist for Our Life and have gotten a new test sample sent in.
As before, we'd like you to let us know what you think of it. We attached an image with Cove's sprite on the left and the test image on the right. Please vote on if yo...

A small clip from Step 3 of Our Life. While hanging out at the beach one day, Cove and the MC get into a silly conversation about merfolk. It goes in an unexpected direction.
We're thinking about occasionally showing tiny videos of fun events throughout the development process. We'll see how that ends up working out, a...
Hello! We've got a very quick poll that's not tier-exclusive because we need a fair amount of input. We're looking to hire a second CG artist for Our Life and have gotten a test run done.
We'd like you to let us know what you think of it. We attached an image with Cove's sprite on the left and the test image on th...

We've got some more guest images! They've both so lovely. The Cove one is done by d_riddlea on Twitter and the Kyra one is done by Etz_G also on Twitter.

We're making more progress on updating the main menu for OL too! We've got this nice new BG and next we'll be getting new buttons. They'll be set right in the center of the screen. It should be a pretty straightforward and relaxed opener.

We're still working on updating a bunch screens. One that's been checked off is updating the shape of the side images. I like this much better than the square ones we had before.

ingthing on Twitter did some very cute portraits of the main families in Our Life. They're super sweet <3

We’re already working on improvements for the full version of Our Life! One change you can expect is a fully revamped main menu. The Cove CG is very cute, but it makes things a bit busy and uneven. Instead we’re going to have this cozy close up of a shore and larger buttons right in the middle. We think that’ll make for...
2019-11-10 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey, so the Our Life Kickstarter just ended. We reached all the original stretch goals so we came up with two more, then those were met so we added one final extra big goal, and it was also hit, aha. That's absolutely amazing! Though, the final stretch goal was our current final Patreon goal; putting another game into product...

It’s been a while since we started posting XOXO Reunion stuff and we have yet to show a Nate CG, haha. Here’s an awfully cute one to resolve that terrible mistake.

To celebrate reaching the wedding stretch we had our background artist create a BG for one of the ceremony locations. Now it's finally done! Option 1 for the MC's wedding with Cove is naturally a beach, haha. You'll not only get to choose the spot, but you'll have some control of the decorations as well.
Truly a lovely...
We've added some more Our Life main character options! Some of these are only available once the MC reaches a certain age. Earrings and acne become available in Step 2 and us, nose piercings become an option in Step 3 and up.
2019-11-07 21:50:38 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Today we're introducing the first of several special polls that will help decide various things about the second Our Life game.
-These polls are for backers of every tier because they're Kickstarter-based rather than Patreon-based. All other types of polls will still be limited to the $5+ tiers.
-The...

Here's the most recently finished Our Life background! It's a lovely park in the next town over. I'm sure plenty of fun will be had there.

We reached a stretch goal on Kickstarter to add a sixth DLC, a wedding themed one! It'll be super sweet and you'll get to plan/design your ideal wedding. There will be multiple locations to choose from for the ceremony, plus you'll get to have a say in the decorations included at the location.
Most of the art for that ...
Hey!
The second Our Life game, Our Life: Now & Forever was funded through our Kickstarter campaign. Woo! I wanted to take a moment to explain what that'll mean for those who are supporting us on Patreon.
Starting in November and going for the next few months there will be extra Patreon polls to help deci...
2019-10-31 20:52:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe most recent bonus content poll has ended! The thing that won was a couple more scene for XOXO Reunion. Nice. We haven't officially began working on the script yet, but we'll keep that in mind once we do get started for real.
Thank you guys so much for the support! We'll have another poll next month ^^.
Hello everyone!
The free version of XOBD comes out tomorrow. That's crazy. As a small thanks to all you guys for supporting us, we're sharing the files here a bit early.
Randy's younger version sprite is now done! So cute.

We've already shown Miranda at Step 3, but here she is in her younger stage! She's quiet around strangers, but very silly with her friends. What a cutie.

Noelani and Pamela finally have full-sized sprites! We can't start implementing them into the game until next month when the KS ends, but it's really nice to see them here. They're so lovely.
2019-10-20 05:50:48 +0000 UTC View Post
And the new beta is ready for people to try. Hooray! All the events in the build will be expanded over time, but the current versions are still fun C:.
Another new sprite is done. It's Kyra Preece, aka Cove's Mom! Now you can see the whole family together and they're all so pretty, haha.
