OL2: School Hall 2nd Floor Sketch (Step 1)

The realm of North Acres Elementary School is expanding! This is one level above the first hallway you see in the prologue.

Though, the school only has two floors so the finished version won't have those stairs going up.

OL2: Magic Screenshots (Step 1)

These were some of finishing touches added to Magic- completed cut-in images and a sunset version of Qiu's fort ✨

You can see it all in action by trying the new beta we released!

OL2: Beta Build 1.4.1 ⭐ (PC, Mac, Android)

Well, well, well, here we are already, with all five of the free-to-play Moments of Step 1 in the beta build. Yes, "Magic" is complete at the start of May, despite it being nearly double the length of Part 1 from last month. It's amazing.

April 2024 Guest Art: Hairstyle Poll

Here's the second poll! Let me know which hair length Qiu should go with as they're having beach adventures.

Also, feel free to leave a comment on if you think they should have earrings or not. They will have their nails painted in this image.

The poll will close on May 8th.

Have fun deciding!

June 2024 Guest Art: Activity Poll

The summer season is almost here in the northern hemisphere and I've decided that this year we're gonna do a series of beach episode guest pieces! Step 3 Qiu, Tamarack, and Renee will be featured during June, July, and August, enjoying some fun in the sun at the shoreline. For Qiu and Tamarack there will be polls for what hair length they have, for all three you'll get to decide where they are and how laidback it is.

So, the current poll is what you'd like to see Qiu doing. In a minute,...

Month Beginning Post: May 2024 Plans

[The lovely guest is by BeWmOnNy on Twitter]

Hiya!

Spring is slowly coming to an end here on my side of the world. And after two months of disrupted development, May should finally get things back to normal for me.

You can check out how April ended up going HERE. And let's get into what is still...

Month End Post: April 2024 Wrap-Up

Hello!

This was a very long month for me, haha. It kind of seemed like the month that would never end, while also never allowing me to get caught up. I returned from a two week trip early in April and it took a bit to get back into the swing of things. But let's get into what was finished when development did begin again-

Monthly Content Summary:

OL2: Frederick Baumann (Step 3)

He is finished! Are you carrying a bag or the weight of the world, Fred? He looks so serious (almost) all the time, haha.

Hey everyone! This month's Q&A might be the longest yet, and I nearly forgot to record it, haha. I hope the answers are interesting.

Project W Post: April 2024

Hey, everybody. It’s the end of April so it’s the one day of the month that I get to talk about Project W.

And this time I’m gonna tell you some info about the leading characters. The people you can fall in love with or have a very strong platonic bond with or neither, whatever you prefer. These are the facts-

1. There will be three of them.

2. I’m not gonna have romance/friendship options who each have the exact same gender/sex/pronouns.

3. I’ve decided ther...

OL2: Frederick Baumann Sketch (Step 3)

Fred is back and as unimpressed as ever! And he does still wear glasses, those are just going to be added after the sketch phase.

OL2: Slumber Party Script Preview

Well, the poll to pick which Moment gets programmed next isn't over, but it's looking pretty likely that the event being added to the beta build after Magic will be Slumber Party! So, since people are that interested in it, here's a preview for that Moment. I hope you're ready for some childhood crimes. What else are sleepovers for?

Here's the finished BG! Qiu's hideout is pretty sweet 💕

OL2: DLC Moment Beta Order Poll

Hey everyone! Today we've got a special poll, one that's never happened before and may or may not happen again. We'll see how it works out. Currently, we're still working on adding the rest of Magic to the OL2 beta build. After that the beta will include all five of the free-to-play Moments and then it'll be time to start adding the DLC Moments. Hooray. That's where this poll comes in.

So far, the Moments got implemented as I wrote them and then we focused on releasing the free to ...

OL2: Moment Cut-In Batch

OL2: Beta Build 1.3.12 ✨ (PC, Mac, Android)

It's time for a new beta build! This version includes the first part of a brand-new Moment, Magic. And that Moment happens to be the last one that will be included in the free-to-play version of Step 1. Once all three parts are in the beta we'll be moving on to the DLC Step 1 Moments 👀

Here's the colored sprite for Nichole in Step 3 ✨. Yeah, she's still dying her hair. It's even darker now, haha.

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: April 2024

Alright, we've got another Discord emote poll. Last month we had a laughing crying emote made of Terry!

For April, I'm thinking we'll replace the old "holding heart" image to be done in the more current art style and to potentially change the character. If you vote for someone new, feel free to leave a comment on who specifically you think should be featured in it.

The closes after the 16th

GB-Back! I've Returned From Vacation

Heya everyone!

I've got a quick update to say I'm home again. I was actually here on the 7th, but it was the end of the work day by then and I was tired. Today I'm back to work, catching up on messages, and planning my schedule.

Thank you for being so understanding with my time away. There will be plenty of exciting developments going forward 🥰️
