You can't argue with that kind of logic, haha. And the new pool BG is finished. That's another asset down. There's only a few left to go for Derek's DLC. Very exciting.
This scene is available to play in the current beta build!
2022-09-03 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBaxter at some age is going to be the character featured in October's guest piece because October is the month his DLC goes into full production. Hooray ✨
But! October is also the month of Halloween, so there's this second poll to determine if we should embrace the holiday spirit or focus...
2022-09-02 18:02:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time again where we decide on the monthly bonus art character. October will be the moment when Baxter's DLC finally goes into full production and to celebrate that I think it makes sense for him to be the star of piece!
We've just gotta decide which version of Baxter it should be....

Summer is rapidly coming to an end. That's a little sad for the world of Our Life: Beginnings & Always, but it does mean Derek's DLC is nearly finished! This beta doesn't go all the way to the end of the story, however it adds quite a lot more.
You'll have to start a brand new fil...

Derek's mundane-yet-mysterious Step 4 bedroom has been finished. There are only a few scenes in his story where you can visit it, and all are optional. It depends on the choices you make.

Here's the completed sprite for our lovely Pranny 💞. He still loves his colorful, loose-fitting looks, haha.
Details of his personality were posted HERE!

The system for decorating your room is being worked on. One of the neat aspects of it is this little 'poof' animation for when a new object appears!

Precious baby Cala from XOXO Droplets has grown up a little more and expanded her business from just changing luck to also sharing wisdom about the future. Now we know what she needed all that money for, to pay tuition at the fancy-smancy boarding school she lived next to all those years, haha. C...

We've got a huge new batch of MC Doll clothing options in! Since there's gonna be over layers and under layers for the outfit I wanted to make sure there was enough variety for both types, as well as options that made sense for a younger MC vs an older MC. I'd say that's a fair bit of choices, ha...

Got another music track sample to share! There's a lot of good and comfortable times in Our Life: Now and Forever, so that's what most of the music conveys. But even though there's a fair amount of happy songs, each and every one of them have been just lovely, or in this case- pleasant, haha.

Hooray for cameos. Our beautiful Panda will return for the young adult portion of the story. But don't get your hopes up too high in regards to how well this is gonna go, haha. He's 19 and at that age Pran hasn't changed too much from the way he's like in XOXO ...

For the most part, Halloween costumes in Step 2 (and who even still wears a costume at those ages) haven't been decided. But there's an exception here! I knew that Opal would still wanna get all dressed up for the occasion and the look she would go for. She's the queen of hearts from Alice and Wo...

Derek's got a simple but nice room in his prefab apartment. It's possible to go through all of his story without seeing this, though making certain choices will allow you to visit his bedroom 👀

What a polite young man! The new home of the Suarez family now has a background. Currently the beta reuses the Step 2 apartment, but they moved to a new location at that point in their lives. In the next build we'll be able to show that. Hooray for progress.

Miss V is returning as a young adult as well, naturally. Her style and personality haven't changed much in four years, but she has matured enough to be more open-minded. Vianca is glad to be friends with anyone, without giving special preference to other women. Though, her ever-intense attitude m...

I've got one more video preview to share before the DLC launches because it won't be much longer! We're almost there. But in the meantime we can still enjoy Derek being a real cutie in this clip 🥰️
Other than the MC's mom, Ms. Opal Second, none of the other grownups have had first names mentioned. I mostly hadn't picked them out, aha. Naming things is stressful. But now all the revealed adult characters have first names and I figured I'd put it together in one post.
