Month End Post: November 2023 Wrap-Up
Added 2023-11-30 19:00:05 +0000 UTC
Hi everyone π
Fall is already nearly over. It went by so fast, but we made the most of it. Our Life: Now & Forever has progressed leaps and bounds compared to the pace it's been at since backburner development started all the way back in 2021. Here's what's happened over the past weeks-
Monthly Content Summary:
45,400 words got done in total for November: 9,500 words were drafted, 35,900 were written. It breaks down to Step 1 Moment #4 being fully drafted, the Moment "Fancy Fun" being fully written, and that 4th Moment getting half its script done.
19,700 words were programmed. It was basically all for Wheels Part 2 but I also went through older scenes and added in recent player suggestions. Wheels Part 2 got released as a beta here on Patreon.
That's an ideal month of development. I got done exactly as much as I had wanted to for a full month of OL2 work, and this wasn't even a completely "full month" in terms of my schedule. The start of November was the final week of the Our Life: Now & Forever Kickstarter. That took some attention but ended very well, with over 5,500 supporters. And after that, quite a bit of time went into creating a survey on Backerkit for KS supporters. Those surveys weren't able to go out this month, but I did complete the process of putting it all together. We're just waiting for approval now.
And lastly, a brand new campaign went live! We've currently got a limited edition Cove plushie up for sale on Makeship.

2023-11-30 21:15:38 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I'm not going to have the MC treated negatively because of the way they look. Not every player would feel comfortable with that, even if someone stood up for them. It's also a bit odd to compliment someone on having a certain skin tone as a random mention, so that won't happen either. Perhaps when you're older and have a closer bond with the leads they might note that they think the MC's condition is lovely because they can give a more personal praising of it. But as kids there's really no good way to do it that works for everyone. Same with scars. No one is gonna randomly make the MC feel bad about it, but possibly later in the game it could be talked about.

2023-11-30 20:36:33 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your hard work! I have a question though, will you add any mention of the vitiligo skin condition in the dialogues because everytime I chose to add vitiligo to my MC I hope to received a comment on it just like with Baxter complimenting my mole. No one, not even another kid seems to be curious about such a visible condition when meeting me for the first time, that's a shame. It would be cool to add dimension to that, for instance, us being insecure about it or proud of it, or someone asking what is it on my face, or making fun of me and another character like Qui defending my MC. That comment goes for the freckles, scars and birthmarks. Thank you in advance
