You get to have a little sleepover in the living room with Opal your first night in town 💖. She'll also mention what her actual job is! She relocated to Golden Grove to take on a newly available HR managerial role in a different branch of her same company.

We're still working on making the early morning versions of the main area backgrounds. They're all really pretty! It's so much more magical getting up at dawn and walking to school in Our Life than it is to actually do it in real life, haha.

Such wonderful gifts from such wonderful neighbors. We're looking forward to being able to share more of Step 2 Tamarack and Qiu from here on out! We hope you have a lovely holiday 🥰️

Wow, in the Baxter DLC you'll get to go out to eat at a sit down place that's not the Chinese restaurant or Tropical Place. That's a shock, haha.

Congratulations on your wedding, everyone 🥰️! This DLC is in the running for the longest expansion word-count-wise, added way more new art assets than prior DLCs, and is very alteration heavy with tons of ways to impact the script. We went pretty all out, haha. I hope you have a nice time during this special moment in your Our Life story.

They grow up so fast 😭. Here's the second promo piece for Step 2! This time Tamarack's got her short hair and Qiu's got their longer style. Both options are really nice.

We have another beautiful snippet from the game's soundtrack and also you can get a little look at one of the new BG alterations. Both of them are made for those calm and chilly early morning moments 😊

This is Serenity, a demigirl who uses she/they! She attends the same school as the main group, though is one year younger and a grade below. So in Step 2 she's only 13. She's friends with Tamarack and Vianca, and potentially the MC too. Ren seems nice to her but the age gap is a bit too wide for them to hang out. And Qiu is way too intimidating to talk to. She doesn't know how anyone manages that, and also how some people think it's Vianca who's hard to approach? Wild.

January is over and first things first, the Cove Wedding DLC hasn't released. It was completed, but there are now two extra things that are coming along with the launch of that DLC. First, we're going to release the Step 4 lines for the voiced names! Your chosen name won't stop being voiced once Step 4 comes around, adult Cove will be able to say it. The second is that we're changing how t...

We've made a batch of eight new sticker options to use in your files. They're really cute and give a good bit of variety, I'd say!
We'll be making a third set after this still.

Haha, what a fitting build number to leave off on because this is the very final beta for the Cove story. After this it's gonna be Derek Beta 0.01, which is crazy.
But before we worry about that, let's wrap up this wedding. We've been working on finalizing and polishing everything. This new version should be much more on par with a complete release than the initial beta. If you find a problem that was missed you can definitely let us know about it!
And to add to the fun, we'...

Qiu really tries to think about how to handle interactions, it's like a dance. Tamarack, though, is just a force of nature, haha. She does not wait and cannot be stopped in her friendship-making.

Here she is, the lovely finished sprite for Vianca 🥰️. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to have her around in Step 2.

The soundtrack for OL2 is really wonderful, and we've got another beautiful track to share a sample of. This will be used further into the story for those quieter, more contemplative moments of life.

Wow, thank you for the positive review Cove. I'm glad you liked the game 🥺️
But seriously, the beta build is already out, but the full release everywhere will be happening very soon. It's almost time for the end of Cove's main game content. It's amazing and sad.

Once the full prologue is done it's gonna include the first day of school! Autumn is very cute looking without his jacket. As the narration will note, he's like a lion without his mane. But in terms of personality, he's still just as kingly.
You get this reaction if you choose a more teasing option. Qiu can appreciate the attempt, but you can't get him off his smug game easily.

Congratulations on your wedding 🥳️!!!!! This version has the entire Cove Wedding DLC from start to finish. It's actually here.
Note: It is missing Kyra's formal outfits so she doesn't appear on-screen during the reception and the MC cut-in image also doesn't show yet because we're still working on the programming for it.

Remember how we said in Step 1 you’d struggle to get along with Darren if you identified as a girl because Darren was deeply nervous around girls? That’s pretty rough, but this is what multiple Steps are for because in Step 2 here comes Vianca. She’s fully in her “the only people who really relate to me are other women” phase. So if you’re male, adgender, etc., Vianca won’t be easy to connect with, but if you identify as female (all or some of the time) than she’s your girl. S...
