The previous Our Life poll has been signed sealed and delivered with Jeremy being added to Step 2 of the game. We're only going to have one more cameo character but there are two steps left. So before deciding which specific character will be added, we're going to let you vote on when the character will show up.

This is Cliff Holden or, as he’s usually called, Cove’s Dad! Yep his name is ‘Cliff’ and he named his own child ‘Cove’, haha.
Cliff moved to the town of Sunset Bird suddenly after separating from his wife. It was relatively close to his business, he gives scuba diving tours and lessons,...

The poll has ended and the results are in! Jeremy King is the Step 2 XOXO Droplets cameo in Our Life. Woo! We can now see what Jere was like as a 12 year old. It was a lot, haha. He's an angry little baby.
Jeremy's parents have family in the area of Sunset Bird. Since school was out for the summer they decided to ...

And here's the finished version of that sketch we showed earlier! Cove's hair blends in pretty well with the wall, too bad the rest of him doesn't, haha.
Here's the cleaned up version of that romantic CG! You can also see the other style of MC there. And below is the alternative lineart that shows the second expression for this scene. So there are two MCs and two expressions for each.

Time for another casual outfit poll! We're on to Jeremy.
Same rules as before, the really cold weather outfit has been cut already. And some of these outfits will have to be tweaked to be more weather neutral if chosen. If you ...

Nate's sprite for the VN build of XOXO Droplets is done! He's pretty identical to his original version. So very handsome! His casual outfit ended up not being any of his in-game duds. Instead he's wearing a well-liked outfit concept that went unused the first time around. It's certainly a snazzy look~
If you didn't see ...

In Step 2 Cove and the MC are thirteen year-olds. Those crazy kids can start getting into some trouble, including sneaking into bedrooms when they're not supposed to. Hopefully they don't get caught, haha.
And, of course, there's more than one possible version since Cove's appearance and personality is variable starting...

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has joined our Patreon. We're so pleased to have reached one of our goal tiers. We'll be sure to keep things lively around here with bigger and better posts.
As always, if there's anything you'd like to see us post more of, feel free to let us know!
2019-03-01 01:02:37 +0000 UTC View PostWe posted here in the past about how Shiloh Fields from XOXO Droplets appears in Step 1 of Our Life as a side character. We're planning on including another XOD cameo in Step 2 of the game. Originally the XOD cameos were gonna be decided by the writers, but since we reached the first goal of the Patreon we're instead gonna le...

Eyes of the Echo is a short game so there are only two 18+ scenes (one near the end of the story and one in an epilogue). Here's a CG sketch from the first of those scenes~
2019-02-28 23:37:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe Floret Bond Beta has been updated! It's got improved CGs and an additional day of the story has been added.
Hooray! The first beta build for Our Life is ready to play! It features just the opening scenes and is only 6,000 words in total. But you'll get to meet all the characters who appear in the childhood stage. You'll also be able to try...

With the promo CG finished, we're now moving on to CGs from the actual routes. Starting with one for Everett. This is from right at the beginning of his route. He wasted no time getting comfortable, haha.

And here's the complete Everett sprite! He's a little bit different than the OG Eve. Though his fashion sense hasn't improved any, haha. You can see the results of his casual outfit poll now. It ended up being a revamped version of his giraffe print coat. Snazzy. His weird cat face sweater will live on with Sundae in XOXO Blo...

Here's the brand new Lynn sprite that will be used in the Visual Novel version of XOXO Droplets! He's still a very pretty man.

These boys are such cuties. It's great to have a real group shot of these jerks. Shame Shiloh is the scum of the earth and couldn't be included. The photo frame being held will say 'Voted Most Difficult' in the finished version. It's a reference to their high school yearbook.
The sprites for XOXO Reunion are done! At le...

2019-01-25 03:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the last of the pj polls! Jeremy is another character who wears something simple, so his poll is pretty straightforward. Should Jeremy's pajama set have a normal fit or should it be an oversized fit like his pjs in the original game (extra long sleeves and somewhat loose over his body).
2019-01-18 01:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostNate, Everett, Bae, and JB have either already gotten pj polls or didn't need one so we're down to two people; Jeremy and Pran. I'm not entirely sure what should be polled for Jeremy's pjs yet, which means this time we're doing Pran.
As he's always liked to do, Pran sleeps shirtless in this game. However, when walking o...

It's currently not perfect, but we're attempting to animate the character sprites in Live2D for this project! The issue is that occasionally the effect that makes the moving sprite have a transparent background fails and an ugly black box appears around the character. If we can fix that problem, or at least make it so it only...

We've got some good news for everyone. If XOXO Blood Droplets and XOXO Reunion wasn't enough jerk content for you, we've got yet another XOD related project in the works. Amazing, aha.
The OG XOXO Droplets is getting a revamped version! It will have brand new character art, CGs, and interface, improve...

This is JB's underwear sprite and her alternate hairstyle. She's looking great as always! She still loves to make suggestive comments and now she can actually follow through with those insinuations. Well, as long as the player decides to, haha.

And here's the leading lady herself! JB is back and this time with a full sized sprite. In most situations she'll still appear as a headshot only in the textbox, but we may end up having events from the perspective of other characters. In those situations JB will be against the background with a thigh-up sprite like the other...

Good old Pranala is still the most built of the bunch, haha. He's also somewhat flexible in terms of physical affection. He has two modes that he switches between every few months or so. One mode has him pretty much always in the mood and the other mode has him generally disinterested in the concept. If he's your boyfriend yo...
