Our Life 2: Diner Exterior BG (Sketch)

You'll get to see the good old "Diner Table" diner from the outside, too. It's so charming!

Our Life 2: Prologue Alteration Screenshots

Based on player feedback, I've been adding more options throughout the existing OL2 scenes, haha.

Our Life: Missing Baxter DLC BG (Sketch)

Yeah, there's currently no guest room BG for when the MC stays at Baxter's apartment. It wasn't worth making the DLC come out a week or two later for this, haha. However, it is going to be made!

Next month we'll be doing an update to OL1 to fix the errors that have been reported, add the credit names for those who joined in May but after the DLC was finished, and to insert this background ✨

Our Life 2: Qiu Step 1 CG (Sketch)

There they go 🥺️💞

This CG appears in one of the Step 1 Moments, not the prologue! Amazing. And even more incredible, that Moment isn't just an idea- it's fully drafted. Our Life: Now & Forever truly is in development now.

Patreon Q&A: May 2023

[Text transcript]

Hello everybody! Here is this month's Q&A session. It's now been a year since we first started doing these. That's crazy. But I'm glad people have continued to enjoy the tradition.  

Thank you to those who sent in a question, and I'm sorry to the ones I wasn't able to an...

Our Life 2: Family Bios

Along with the snazzy new bios for the two leads, we also got these neat graphics for the parents/grandparents of the main crew! They give some extra hints into what comes up later in the story.

Our Life 2: Corner Store BG

Alright, so Baxter's story is out and everything. That's fantastic and I hope everyone who plays the DLC has a good time. However, I'm ready to start posting previews for the next Our Life game again!

Here's the completed version of the little shop I shared a sketch of a while back ✨

Our Life: Final Baxter DLC BG

The final piece. 

Tomorrow everyone, it's tomorrow. In less than 24 hours because it'll be early in the morning rather than the afternoon. We're almost there 😭.

[CLOSED]

Keys are only being sent out to those who back at tier 3 and up in May, 2023.

Hey everyone! 

Thank you for supporting GB Patch Games here on Patreon. As a bonus reward for this month, I've sent out Steam and Itch keys for the Baxter DLC 🎉.

The keys were sent through the support@gbpatchgames.com email using Mailerlite. That's what you should look for, rather than something from Patreon.

Our Life: Baxter DLC Screenshot (Step 4)

People love to joke about giving Baxter a smack for being so bad throughout his storyline and, I mean, you can. But as he says, it's not gonna have the intended effect, haha.

Also, we're officially in the final count down for Baxter's DLC! It's coming out in just one week.

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: May 2023

Hello! Here's our second round of voting on a new Discord emote. For the first poll we were voting on which OL1 side character would get an emote. Xavier won the poll and the discord was treated to this-

This month I'm gonna go with a specific type of emote and we'll vote on which character fits the concept best. 

The emote is: dead/knocked out/generally collapsed

Yo...

GB Moving Day (Again)!

Hi!

It's only been about 11th months since I moved to the state I'm in currently and I'm going somewhere else, aha. This time I should be staying put for much longer. Still, progress will be slow for a bit while I make the 1,500 mile flight and settle into the new place. Luckily, Baxter's DLC is done other than last minute error fixing and plugging in missing assets as they get finished.

I'll be ready to go again in time to start the final promotion push for Baxter's DLC.  2023-05-09 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Our Life: Baxter Screenshot (Step 4)

Shawna fixed up the texting system for the group chat so it highlights who is speaking clearly! Very nice.

And I must agree with the MC, Baxter's pretty adorable, haha.

Our Life: Baxter DLC Build 1.6.10B 🌆 (PC, Mac, & Android)

Sorry sir, it's too late to escape now. We've got one more Baxter beta for you all! There's only a tiny amount of new alterations in terms of script content, but it's quite a bit more polished now. This is a lot closer to what the actual launch build is gonna be like. So, if you've been waiting for that now might be the time to try it ✨

If you come across an error report screen, you can click the ignore button to keep playing!

There are some missing BGs still, though it's a lot ...

Our Life: Adam House Alt Version BG (Sketch)

Another of the remaining backgrounds for Baxter's story is well on its way to being finished ✨

Question Thread: May 2023 [CLOSED]

Hey!

I've got the usual monthly questions thread. Things asked here will get an answer near the end of May in a recorded Q&A session (with a text transcript). I'm curious what people are gonna be asking about this month, with all the content that has released recently/will come out soon.

Small disclaimer and guidelines:

1. Please don't reply to other people's questions even if you know the answer. The fun of joining a Q&A is that the developer can gi...

June 2023 Guest Art: Location Poll

Hello again. The first poll has already gone up, it's to decide which Step version of Cove will appear in the June bonus piece.

Now on this poll we'll determine the general location/premise. It's just a bunch of neat summery things that suit our resident ocean man.

The poll will close on May 8th.

Thanks for participating!

June 2023 Guest Art: Step Poll

Alright, today starts the vote for what the bonus piece of art will be for June! Honestly, that's the start of summer in the northern hemisphere and I don't think we've had a Cove guest piece in over a year now. This is his time, so Cove is the only option. We'll get vote on Step version gets featured.

There will also be a second poll to determine the location.

The poll will close on May 8th.

Have fun choosing 🌞

Yes, there it is.

We officially have a release date for the most dramatic man's story and the final DLC for Our Life: Beginnings & Always. And we also now know Baxter Ward's birthday: May 19th. Lovely ✨.

You can see ju...

Month End Post: April 2023 Wrap-Up

Well hello, everybody!

We've made it to the end of another month. Hallelujah, as Baxter would say. And after what a month April has been, I've gotta take a little break from the games, haha. I'm taking today, as well as the next few days, almost entirely off (I've pre-scheduled this post to appear). But I'll go over more of that in the May plans post.

For now, let's break down the wild ev...

Our Life: Apartment Lobby BG (Baxter's DLC)

And this is the completed version of the lobby! It's really nice. Another new BG down thanks to the team's fantastic artist. Just a few more to go 💕

Our Life: Now & Forever Prologue Beta Build 1.3.1 ☕️ (PC, Mac, Android)

[I'm sorry, the original mirror builds were the older beta! If you downloaded from the mirrors when the post first went up, please use the main links now or the newly updated mirror builds to get the actual current beta.]

You're very correct there, Qiu. Things are changing around Golden Grove and GB Patch Games. This beta brings us to the long awaited conclusion of the Step 1 prologue! Hooray 🥳️. It's taken absolutely ages to get to this point, haha. But going forward OL2 will be g...

Our Life: Baxter Step 4 Screenshot

Things are finally looking up for Mr. Planner! Good drinks and good company 😌🍹

[Once again, all the scenes are available in the beta now so I'm sorry this isn't much of preview for some people, aha.]

Our Life 2: Corner Store BG (Sketch)

The town of Golden Grove is continuing to expand 💖. There's a fun little corner shop with snacks and knickknacks to visit. Even kids with just a bit of pocket change can afford stuff here.

Patreon Q&A: April 2023
