Month End Post: March 2022
Added 2022-03-31 18:01:01 +0000 UTC
Hello!
The end of March is here and it was a very productive month. Let's get right into the breakdown-
Monthly Content Summary:
This was the first full month of development with no Cove story content at all to work on. That's still pretty wild to think about, haha. But we were able to get a huge push into Derek's DLC, and kept the smaller OL2 momentum going.
Derek has three Step 2 Moments fully drafted already and one of those got scripted, programmed, and released in a beta (plus an extra scene that was added to the normal Step 2 prologue).
Our Life: Now & Forever officially got a Patreon prologue beta build. That's now a normal reward perk at Tier 2 and up. The build we launched has about 10k words more than the public demo. I've also already written a couple more scenes beyond the point where the Patreon beta ends.
Between making initial drafts and proper scripts, 50,410 words were written and15,100 words were programmed into the game builds for betas ✨
The main build of Our Life: Beginnings & Always did get a bit of attention because just today a bug fix patch went out. Thanks for reporting issues.
[Actually, there ended up being an issue with the bug fixing patch, I included some unnecessary files. So, the proper version went up on April 1st]
And lastly, we also started posting videos on TikTok!

I'm really happy with everything that's happened in March. Getting both initial betas out was fantastic and it's been great seeing testers enjoy the first look into Derek's story and an extra peek into the OL2 prologue. Here's hoping April will go just as well!
Thanks for checking out the update ❤️️

2022-04-01 07:58:17 +0000 UTCI STILL can't believe that Cove's story is officially done! But I guess it's because we can always come back to him and play his story from beginning to end! Thanks to him, this awesome community and amazing developer I can look forward to Baxter's and Derek's story and OL2! I honestly wish I could have joined sooner, but I'm here now and that's what counts! So happy to apart of this amazing family! Take care of yourself everyone and don't work too hard!

2022-03-31 21:47:52 +0000 UTCIs Our Life: Now & Forever going to have voiced names like Our Life: Beginnings & Always did? If so would the name Tessa be possible?

2022-03-31 20:59:53 +0000 UTCAmazing work this month! I’d add to the post that you kept all of us fans here on Patreon updated almost every day so we felt up to date and got excited every time new info was released. That’s notable work too! :)

2022-03-31 18:19:03 +0000 UTCI'm so excited to see these works be fulfilled. And I didn't know where to put this so I thought here would be fitting. So, in both N&F and B&A, Baxter is involved, meaning they take place in the same universe, not only this but in both, Baxter is a couple years older than the mc. Taking this into account, hypothetically speaking, if B&A's birth father participated in sperm donation, the mc's of both games could potentially be related. This would literally change absolutely nothing, it was just a thought I had while drinking wine and playing the prologue for N&F
