New Year 2022 Plans! (+ Month Beginning Post: January 2022)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🌟

Or almost new year, depending on where you are in the world. 2021 was GB Patch’s most successful year by far and I want to seriously thank everyone for the support. Thanks to that we were able to expand each new part of Our Life: Beginnings & Always past what we had originally imagined, and we've been able to improve Our Life: Now & Forever in so many ways from the original since the very start of its development. All the backing and feedback and encouragement has truly made an impact on the Our Life series in the best way.

Over these past twelve months we've launched Step 3’s DLC, the Step 4 epilogue, and the Our Life Patreon bonus Moment. All together that was about 200,000 words of new OL content released to players. Plus, there are beta builds of the OL2 introduction scenes and the Cove Wedding DLC. Both are very nearly done, but just weren't able to officially be released in December. Instead, the Cove Wedding DLC and the Our Life: Now & Forever mini-demo will both be releasing publicly in January, 2022!

I can't say which will be coming first, but it won't be too much longer now. Making sure those go live is where all our efforts will be in these coming weeks. Also, to our new supporters who join for OL: N&F, we did post the Step 2 versions of Qiu and Tamarack a while back. Go HERE for Step 2 Qiu and HERE for Step 2 Tamarack. The "Our Life 2" tag is full of neat posts from the past months that you can scroll through.

Besides those announcements, I also want to share our overall plans/hopes for the coming year-

GB Patch 2022 Goals:

· Release the Cove Wedding DLC, Derek Story DLC, and Baxter Story DLC for Our Life: Beginnings & Always

· Launch Our Life: Beginnings & Always on the Googleplay Store

· Release the Our Life: Now & Forever mini-demo publicly

· Release a full length Our Life: Now & Forever demo publicly

· Have Our Life: Now & Forever become our main project in development

· Launch a crowdfunding campaign for Our Life: Now & Forever

· Do some work on our older projects that had be paused after OL’s scale was immensely expanded

It's hard to imagine but, unless something really bad happens, this is going to be the last year we're working on Our Life: Beginnings & Always. I originally started coming up with ideas for the game in 2016, and after so many years the end is coming up on the horizon. It's bittersweet to say goodbye, however I am excited to be able to put my full focus into OL2. The two new leads are just lovely.
