The game's first real mini-clip 😭💓! It's from the prologue. And I would like it to be known that this happens the first day the MC moves into town, before they've even met anyone there. Cool, another wholesome game where the inciting incident is actually vaguely suspicious and concerning, h...

Yeah, we're still working on this, ahah. Here's another reception venue option and we also spruced up the old beach wedding BG a bit because it was the first one done, like two years ago, during the initial Kickstarter as a proof of concept for this DLC. I can't believe how long it's been 😭 2021-11-09 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Having fun planning the meal for your big day. And you can see yet another new background we made just for this Wedding DLC, aha.

Seventeen-year-old Baxter 🥰️. That three year age difference between him and the main group of the MC, Qiu, and Tamarack becomes a much bigger deal by the second Step. Sadly, he doesn't hang out with anyone from the old neighborhood as a friend anymore. But he's still got a soft spot for "yo...

And there's the finished adult Jeremy sprite! As awful as he is lovely 💞. Also how kind of him to dress like he's at a funeral for the wedding, haha. At least his bright hair and eyes add a little cheer.

We showed his dad before, and now we've got Darren's mom! She's a savvy elementary school teacher, specifically the MC's, Tamarack's, and Qiu's school teacher in Step 1! It's always interesting when your friend's parent is also your teacher, haha. Darren is two years older than the main crew, so ...

Junior's sprite is now complete! It's really cute. If you want to know a little more about Jorge, you can check out the post we made when his initial sketch came in HERE.
And, finally, here is the full Suar...

Be careful who you call ugly in middle school!! 😫💓
Yeah, you can invite that beautiful buzzkill Jeremy to your wedding for some reason and he will actually show up for some reason. But, fun fact, way back when this DLC was conceptualized after the Ki...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!
November 2nd is the day of Cove's birth and we're here to wish him an amazing time 💞. We've been through a lot together and this past year has been better than I could’ve asked for. Thanks for everything you wonderful, wavy eye-browed oce...

Hello everyone!
We're well into fall now and have been rapidly working to move our projects forward. Here's what we're heading towards this month-
Happy Halloween to those who celebrate!
Time is a blur and an illusion, haha. But we're keeping busy with the development of the Cove Wedding DLC and the Our Life: Now & Forever demo. They've both made plenty of progress lately. Here's the breakdown of it:
Here's another little listen from the game's soundtrack! This one is fittingly called "Everyday" because it's got a cozy, casual, going about your life type of vibe.
You can also see the sunset version of the neighborhood as the preview image. So pleasant ✨

And here's the last member of the Suarez family! He's the middle son, Jorge, though he mainly goes by "Junior".
We've got Derek who's responsible and future-minded, Nicolas who tries to be like the rest of his family by mimicking what they do, and Junior himself who has his own ...

Now that's a line that sounds familiar. I wonder where I've heard something like that before 😉
It's amazing, I'm actually writing real scenes for OL2 now! It's making me pretty reflec...

It's Darren's dad! He's an affable high school teacher. He doesn't live in the same neighborhood as the MC, but you'll still him around sometimes.

We've got the finished version of the living room in the MC's house! It's so quaint 💖

Your mom isn't gonna be missing out on the Halloween fun either. She looks so great as a detective 💞

We may have just released Step 4 last month, but we're already back with a brand new beta! It is pretty short though, haha. As mentioned in the title, this build features the introduction to the Cove Wedding DLC. That's exciting :D
Save files from the main game should work with this beta bu...

We shared Tamarack's theme sample before, and now we've got Qiu's! It's super charming, just like the kid himself ✨

Aw, well that's a downer. It seems even Baxter has lows. But it's also a double reference! He's thinking about the MC in Our Life: Beginnings & Always and Qiu in Our Life: Now & Forever.

We've gotten in another little batch of MC doll options! New hairs, scarves, and glasses. It's all very cute 😊

Well I thought it was pretty funny, haha. Baxter's DLC may still be off in the distance right now, but once it is out there you'll be able to date Baxter in Step 3, have the relationship end, and then get with Cove in Step 4 if you want to. There'll definitely be alterations in Cove's story that ...

You'll get to hang out with good ol' Derek in his room during his storyline. He's got a really nice set up ✨

Now we've got the other half of the Lin couple! And yep, their costumes are matching, haha.

Here's the fully colored version! Irene is super pretty. And we can continue to see the Suarez family grow. So lovely. All that's left is Derek's other younger brother and the whole gang will be here!

Mr. Lin is also getting into the Halloween spirit. How devilishly handsome. He likes to have fun with it, haha.

Cuties 🥺️. These two have a really fun little dynamic. Though, admittedly, I think all the kids have neat ways of interacting, haha.
But it's nice seeing the assets coming together more and more. It all looks so lovely!

Happy month of Halloween! Of course, with Now & Forever taking place in fall there's gonna be some fun Halloween activities in the game, which means costumes for the characters 🧡
Mrs. Baumann is happy to dress up and give the kids of the neighborhood a fun time, though Mr. Baumann st...

Derek's time has finally come in his DLC and he's ready to be the gentleman he's always wanted to be for the MC 😊. Even though Soiree is one event that's the same from the Cove storyline it's still very much a new kind of experience because of boys' quite different attitudes, haha.
