Happy Halloween to those who celebrate 🥳️
This has been quite a month here at GB Patch Games. A bunch of progress was made. I'm gonna get right into it-

OL2: Beta Build 1.4.9 ✏️ (PC, Mac, Android)
We did it 🥳️!! It's a double beta update in one month. You can now hang out some more with fourteen-year-old Qiu. Earlier this month, Part 2 of Trick or Treat came out. That's also in this build.
I will say that I haven't been able to add any suggestions people have made for these newe...

Oh boy, it's Project W Monday, haha. I'm not posting later this week so there's space for other posts to happen before the end of October. So, here's what I've been thinking about lately.
Every month so far I've been happy and surprised with how much I'm able to come up with and improve for...

Step 2 Qiu is here! And by the looks of it, they haven't gone anywhere anytime recently, haha. But their introduction CG is finished and turned out fantastically ✨

To really complete your texting experience, a set of emojis was made for the game! Which ones would you send? And what do you think Qiu and Tamarack use 🤭?

2024-10-18 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostOL2: Beta Build 1.4.8 👻 (PC, Mac, Android)
Halloween has come early! This beta is specifically Trick or Treat Part 2. We're hoping to have a double update this month with that Step 2 expansion beta at the very end of October. Though, Tamarack's Step 2 intro scene got an improvement this time around. You can now see her finished CG 😄 2024-10-17 18:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post
OL2: MC Cellphone + Cases & Charms (Step 2)
Here's another batch of phone examples! More colors and cases and now keychains, too. What's fun is that you'll be able to stack them to make a custom charm-strand! You won't be forced to pick just charm for your phone. That was the artist's idea.
The charms match the stickers you choose a...

OL2: Trick or Treat Screenshots (Step 1)
Tamarack wants to trick or treat forever, Qiu is excited for future fun. And then Step 2 happens and it didn't work out how either of them expected... Happy Halloween 🥺️💔

In OL2 the MC will be getting their phone in Step 2! Here are a few examples of the colors you can choose, plus different cases you can pick out. These aren't all the options, plus there will be even more ways customize it. Keychains will return like in OL1 and maybe we can even add custom backgr...

Alright, it's time to vote for another emote! I was thinking it'd be a cutesy proposing emoji with the character bashfully holding up a box with a ring in it. So, there could have been a poll where you voted between all the OL leads, but I felt it'd be a bit of an uninteresting poll. I'm pretty p...

Two perspectives were mocked up for a close up of Qiu's decorated house. The version in the game is B! I liked that you could see the door more clearly and it looked more like you were walking from the direction of MC's house.

Here's Qiu's Step 2 room 🌠. I mentioned in the sketch preview last month, but you can visit the room in Step 1. It's just you only do it during a DLC Moment and the Step 2 version appears in the Step 2 prologue by default. That's why the messy teenage version of Qiu's space was made before the...

Hi 👋
Today we can start voting on the bonus guest art piece that'll be posted on November 1st. We're planning to have a public demo expansion that month, so I think it makes sense for the image to feature one of the Step 2 characters you'll get to see in the demo.
However, le...

There was a very odd bug that caused an error if you tried to load a save file on a page that didn't have every save slot filled out. We're sorry that happened. I've updated the main download files with new builds and will update the mirrors when things finish uploading.

Happy Project W Wednesday! And it is actually on Wednesday again.
Last month, I discussed how the game is becoming more of a real story rather than purely ideas. September has reminded me how far I still need to go, though in a good way. I know enough about what I'm doing to start picking o...
