It's time for the penultimate Step 1 beta! There's only one small part left, this build is most of the ending. We'll be saying goodbye to baby Ren and baby Baxter here 🥺️
However, that's not everything that's happened. Shawna has done a lot this month. They completely updated the settings screen and added an entirely new system that tracks choices you've made in prior playthrough/shows which character made that choice!
I don't believe this will work with playthroughs that hap...

Thank you again to everyone who auditioned for our game! The child characters in Step 1 now have voice actors 🥳️. Each one is talented and a wonderful fit for the character. We'll share previews of their lines as development continues.
You can find the voice actors here:

Qiu's hitting the gym (because of school mandate) as well!
Also, I forgot to schedule a post to go up on Monday and then was spending time with family in the afternoon for the holiday, so I couldn't jump on and make a post on Monday itself either. It's always when you can't fix a mistake that it ends up happening, haha. But you're getting a Tuesday post to make up for it!

Look at these cute little cut-ins! Charming and tasty.
Also, here's a small fact that I found neat. There's a total of 667 Patreon posts tagged for Our Life 1. OL2 has now surpassed that number! I'm surprised there's already more OL2 stuff on here. The game hasn't even launched yet, haha.

Well, they tried. They all did. Being a prince isn't all fun and games.
Pure Text:
“Qiu reappeared in front of you as someone else. He didn’t have a single piece of normal clothes anymore. His signature fluffy jacket had been replaced with the costume of a prince.”
“Lacy cuffs billowed as he moved. Golden threads glinted across his chest.”
“His performance outfit was only two pieces; a puffy shirt and red vest over the leotard he already ...

Another post going up a date later than usual this month, but it's time to vote on a new discord emote! Instead of picking between different emotion/action ideas, this poll is to choose a specific character to get an emote. The theme of the poll is OL2 adults! Opal is left out since she has one emote already and she'd probably win the poll if she was an option, haha. We love you Mom.
Feel free to leave suggestions on what the emote should be like for the character you voted for!

Sorry everyone, this is coming a couple days late because I forgot to have the guest poll and did that on the fifth instead, then it was a non-posting day on the sixth. But the question thread is ready to go now!
Here you can ask me things you're wondering about for our games or company and they'll be answered at the end of the month an an audio recording (with a text transcript too). Just make sure the questions long follow the guidelines!
The thread will close after the 20th.

Okay, this should've gone up yesterday but I forgot, haha. I was just too distracted by the wonderful Mrs. Lin costume. Still, now it's time to vote on the June guest art piece.
It's been far too long since we've scene little, baby Cove. This round we're going to vote on making an image of a classic OL1 Step 1 scene that didn't get an actual CG in the game. There's a lot of those to choose from, but I picked a few that I thought would be cute.
The poll will close on May ...

If you guessed Hong was dressed as a monster hunter for his costume, you were correct! Last time, Mrs. Lin was an angel and Mr. Lin was a devil, now Yi gets her turn as the villain 😈. Here she is as a beautiful vampire on the prowl for new victims.

How does that saying go? April showers bring… Dev hours? Cove flowers? Qiu powers? One of those has to be right.

Hey! The end of the final Moment is here, plus the first few scenes of the Fall Ended section. After how the last beta left off, this is more forgiving, haha. But forgiveness is a fitting notion. To make things sad again, there's very few fun scenes left with the Step 1 versions of the cast 😭
Also, Shawna updated the engine version the game is running on, s...

Welcome to another Project W Wednesday! We're still talking about the unique physical characteristic of lumulle bodies. I'm not kidding when I say I have a lot of stuff worked out for these little guys, haha.
Lumulle Info Part 4:
Lumulles are highly resistant to slash damage, you really shouldn't even try. And piercing attempts usually only make a small chip in the outermost layer before bouncing off. Coming in with a weapon that cuts is not th...

Hello everyone!
Since the demo updates are gonna be different going forward, I wanted to make a whole post about what to expect. Typically, we'd make little updates to round out what's in the demo better while still keeping it (somewhat) demo-sized. Now though, we're going over the top. We want to use the demo to give our players something fun to spend their time on! If that makes it a confusingly long demo, that's alright.
The next demo update will happen Fall 2025

Hmm, I wonder what Mr. Lin's costume is supposed to be. And more importantly, how is it gonna match with Mrs. Lin 🤔?
