Floret Bond Beta 0.1

Hey!

We've finished up the first beta-build of Floret Bond. This includes a somewhat longer script than the public demo has and has a test run of the foraging mini-game. I hope you'll enjoy!

Windows/Linux Version...

Secret Project (R): Side Character #4 (Sketch)

So that sure is an interesting image, haha. It's the snake in different skins. When it came to making a sequel, Shiloh was a thorn in our sides. The issue was that presenting any sort of single, consistent version of his future self goes against what his character is. But luckily, every route is kind of its own little separat...

Secret Project (R): Pajama Theme Poll (ENDED)

Everett's poll is over, with crowns being the winner, so we're moving on to another guy! Nate's pajamas are too simple to make a poll out of, which mean it's Bae's turn. I'm sure he's thrilled, considering his 'affection' for sleepwear. Even five years later he still dresses aggressively cutely. The poll is about the overall ...

Secret Project (R): Side Character #3 (Sketch)

And we've got another new, but not exactly unknown, character for you today! This baby boy is Minki Pyoun, the youngest member of the Pyoun family. So he's Bae's little brother. Since these five years have passed Minki is now in high school. He asked to attend the same place that his big bro did and his parents allowed it. As jo...

Secret Project (R): Side Character #2 (Sketch)

Here's a look at one of the brand new characters in XOXO Reunion! Though, technically, she was always there even if we didn't see her. This is Professor Marigold Fields. She works as a history teacher at Saint Sara Belle. She also has the joy(?) of being Shiloh's mommy! And Goldie was a long-time friend of Lynn's until somewhat ...

Secret Project (R): Side Character #1 (Sketch)

Here's a sketch of the dear old angel-man. He's the character who has changed the least. Lynn still works as a nurse at Saint Sara Belle, his personality is pretty much exactly the same as his OG XOD version, and he even still dresses in scrubs and comfy sweaters. There is one major change that has happened in his life, however....

Secret Project (R): Pajama Pants Pattern Poll (ENDED)

That title is a mouthful, aha. The guys in XOXO Reunion all have pajama outfits again for when they sleepover. To have a little bit of fun we'll be putting out polls that'll help determine what their pjs look like. First up is Everett! He wears fuzzy shorts and we'd like to know what kind of pattern you'd prefer to see on the...

Our Life: Cove Personality Alignment Chart

Like the MC, Cove can grow and develop in many different ways based on the choices made by the player.

At his core Cove is an individual who loves the sea and enjoys being alone at least as much as being with others, often times he likes being alone more. That never changes. But how he expresses those sentiments can be highly ...

Our Life: Derek Suárez (Side Character #3, Step 2)

With a new Step comes new faces! This is Derek. His dad works with Cove's dad and he's become acquainted with both Cove and the MC because of that.

He’s definitely a team player and doesn’t try to boss others around or have everything be his way. A compromise is a wonderful thing, as his parents would say. He’s overall q...

Our Life: Elizabeth Last (Side Character #2, Step 2)

Kids grow up so fast. In Step 1 Lizzie is ten, once Step 2 rolls around she ages up to fifteen. She also goes by Elizabeth instead of her old nickname.

Elizabeth is outgoing, sociable, and can be pretty snide. She thinks a lot of things are loser-ish and people both younger and older just don’t “get it”.  She likes ...

Our Life: Adult Cove Hair Poll (ENDED)

Adult Cove in Our Life has multiple different hairstyles. There's a good amount of variety already, but we'd like your opinion on what should be done with his longest hairstyle. Should it be tied up in some way or loose? Let us know below!

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #4 Sketch (Underwear)

Jeremy is still very affection-shy and concerned with germs, but at this point in his life his desire for closeness and general horniness have eclipsed those worries. If you choose him as your boyfriend this time around, he'll be much more willing when it comes to being touched. So far though, Jeremy has only ever agreed to have...

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #4 Sketch (Outdoor)

We're getting down to the wire now with our precious Guy #4!

Jeremy King, our eggplant boy. He's still a cute little nerd who needs a nap. Hallelujah. Jeremy does wear contacts at times, but he uses glasses much more regularly now. Pretty much whenever he's not working or doing something important, which is basically the o...

Our Life: Background Gif (Beach Street)

The backgrounds in Our Life have 1 to 3 different versions and they are just so pretty. This particular BG is a row of shops that's walking distance from where the MC, Jamie, lives. 

Our Life: Shiloh Fields (Side Character #2, Step 1)

Yes, my obsession with the XOXO cast is never ending. Not only does it have the original game, a sequel, and a spin-off, but now the characters are making cameos in unrelated projects. Goodness gracious. Though, Shiloh isn't in the sequel because older Shi is an insufferable snake, so I think it's fair to include him here. With ...

Our Life: Lizzie Last (Side Character #1, Step 1)

Elizabeth is the adopted sister of the MC (default name Jamie Last). Ms. Last adopted her from the Philippines when Lizzie was a baby. Lizzie understands to a degree that her parents aren’t exactly the same as the parents of other kids, but she doesn’t know that she was adopted yet. She's ten-years-old at the start of the ga...

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #3 Sketch (Underwear)

And shock of all shocks, he's wearing more more black.

Bae is asexual and he doesn't have 18+ scenes like the other boys do. Either his underwear outfit will be shown just to patrons or it might end up in the game for a purely silly couple scene. We haven't decided for sure yet.

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #3 Sketch (Outdoor)

Here's Guy #3, who's bumped up a position! 

In XOXO Reunion Bae has taken Shiloh's place as Guy #3 because the snake boy is MIA. That's explained in the intro post, so let's not worry about him for now and focus back on the Baebe. He sure does like black and gray, doesn't he, haha? His finished version will have gloves th...

Secret Project (R): Background Progress Gif

Here's a fun little gif showing one of the backgrounds going from the initial sketch all the way to completion!

This background is the hotel room where JB can stay during her trip to California for the reunion. If Everett is your boyfriend, he shares the room with her by default. If you're with Nate or Bae you can potentially ...

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #2 Sketch (Underwear)

And here's Nate's underwear outfit! What a handsome man.

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #2 Sketch (Outdoor)

And here's our good boy Guy #2! Nate Lawson is still a sharp looking guy. Like Everett, his sketch isn't 100% right. There are some tiny tweaks that will be shown in the finished version of the sprite.

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #1 Sketch (Underwear)

This is a very early sketch of Everett in XOXO Reunion. The later sketches with other outfits are a closer reflection of his finished design, with some changes to his face and eyebrows. But he's still looking quite good, I'd say~

Secret Project (R): Love Interest #1 Sketch (Indoor & Outdoor), Outfit Information

Each of the main boys in XOXO Reunion have four outfits; outdoor, indoor, pajamas, and underwear. Technically the outdoor outfit is just extra layers over the indoor outfit, but it's shorter to list is as another outfit, haha. Soon there's gonna be polls for some of the outfit designs. It will mostly be for the pajamas because t...

XOXO Blood Droplets: CG Progress

If you've played the XOBD demo, you've seen that the all the CGs are in a crayon chibi art style. That's only for the demo. In the full game the main CGs will be the same style as the sprites while the crayon chibis will be used as unique ending title cards (replacing the current ending title cards which are somewhat generic ima...

Secret Project (E): Hair Strand or No? (ENDED)

This is Pom, he's a minor character in Eyes of the Echo. He'll get a full post talking about him later. Before then we have to settle on his design. It's mostly done, but we're not sure if we should keep the long strand of hair in front or if it looks better without it.

Secret Project (E) Story

Earlier we introduced the general details of Secret Project (E), or Eyes of the Echo, but much about it is still a mystery. EotE is the first project for GB Patch where little is being done by the usual crew. While we keep our creative focuses on the many other games that are in the works, Eyes of the Echo is still making pro...

Screenshot Comparison

Secret Project (R), or working title XOXO Reunion, has our cast returning to school after five years. So you can expect to see a lot of 'then and now' style screenshot comparisons, haha. Here's one already.

Patreon Tags

We've gotten to work adding lots of information to check out here and we'll continue having plenty of stuff to post. Because of that we're putting up this quick explanation for what the major tags mean. 

General: A general post will include fundamental details about one of our projects. ...

Our Life: Baxter Ward (Love Interest #2, Step 3)

Our Life definitely puts its weight behind Cove in terms content. His personality is up to the player so, theoretically, he should be able to grow on most people. But for those who really want something different, there's always good old Ba...

XOXO Blood Droplets: Everett Gray (Love Interest #6)

Everett Gray, guy 6, and the last romance option of the game (or he is? What a mystery). As much as Everett likes JB, he can't help but fuck things up. Either by putting her in danger unintentionally or by losing control and hurting her him...
