There's gonna be a slight delay in the next Our Life beta build coming out. It was gonna be this month, but the engine (Renpy) got an update and now there are a few things we have to tweak for the game to function properly with the changes. I'm really sorry for that. The problems aren't anything ...
2019-11-30 06:05:08 +0000 UTC View PostWe've got another art test! The artists who do these are free to draw whatever they like, the expression this time ended up a bit out of character for our shy-guy but what really counts is how closely you think it matches the game's normal style.
Please vote on if you like the idea of...

We've got another new location coming. It's a fun eatery that teens and young adults like to visit. Cove and/or the MC can end up working there in Step 3.
2019-11-26 22:12:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey! We've got another of those quick polls. We're still looking to hire a second CG artist for Our Life and have gotten a new test sample sent in.
As before, we'd like you to let us know what you think of it. We attached an image with Cove's sprite on the left and the test image on t...

A small clip from Step 3 of Our Life. While hanging out at the beach one day, Cove and the MC get into a silly conversation about merfolk. It goes in an unexpected direction.
We're thinking about occasionally showing tiny videos of fun events throughout the development process. We'll see h...
Hello! We've got a very quick poll that's not tier-exclusive because we need a fair amount of input. We're looking to hire a second CG artist for Our Life and have gotten a test run done.

We've got some more guest images! They've both so lovely. The Cove one is done by d_riddlea on Twitter and the Kyra one is done by Etz_G also on Twitter.

We're making more progress on updating the main menu for OL too! We've got this nice new BG and next we'll be getting new buttons. They'll be set right in the center of the screen. It should be a pretty straightforward and relaxed opener.

We're still working on updating a bunch screens. One that's been checked off is updating the shape of the side images. I like this much better than the square ones we had before.

ingthing on Twitter did some very cute portraits of the main families in Our Life. They're super sweet <3

We’re already working on improvements for the full version of Our Life! One change you can expect is a fully revamped main menu. The Cove CG is very cute, but it makes things a bit busy and uneven. Instead we’re going to have this cozy close up of a shore and larger buttons right in the middl...
2019-11-10 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey, so the Our Life Kickstarter just ended. We reached all the original stretch goals so we came up with two more, then those were met so we added one final extra big goal, and it was also hit, aha. That's absolutely amazing! Though, the final stretch goal was our current final Patreon goal; put...

It’s been a while since we started posting XOXO Reunion stuff and we have yet to show a Nate CG, haha. Here’s an awfully cute one to resolve that terrible mistake.

To celebrate reaching the wedding stretch we had our background artist create a BG for one of the ceremony locations. Now it's finally done! Option 1 for the MC's wedding with Cove is naturally a beach, haha. You'll not only get to choose the spot, but you'll have some control of the decorations ...

We've added some more Our Life main character options! Some of these are only available once the MC reaches a certain age. Earrings and acne become available in Step 2 and us, nose piercings become an option in Step 3 and up.

Today we're introducing the first of several special polls that will help decide various things about the second Our Life game.

Here's the most recently finished Our Life background! It's a lovely park in the next town over. I'm sure plenty of fun will be had there.

We reached a stretch goal on Kickstarter to add a sixth DLC, a wedding themed one! It'll be super sweet and you'll get to plan/design your ideal wedding. There will be multiple locations to choose from for the ceremony, plus you'll get to have a say in the decorations included at the location.
Hey!
The second Our Life game, Our Life: Now & Forever was funded through our Kickstarter campaign. Woo! I wanted to take a moment to explain what that'll mean for those who are supporting us on Patreon.

We've already shown Miranda at Step 3, but here she is in her younger stage! She's quiet around strangers, but very silly with her friends. What a cutie.

Noelani and Pamela finally have full-sized sprites! We can't start implementing them into the game until next month when the KS ends, but it's really nice to see them here. They're so lovely.
