Month End Post: March 2025 Wrap-Up

March has come to an end, folks. 🌷 This month, we saw tons of new content for the GB world: new merch, a guest artist call, March Madness, and more! Read on for all of the juicy details.

Monthly Content Summary:

We started the month off with the launch of our latest merch item: a Cove Holden pin set! Two pins are included: A teary Step 1 Cove pin and an interactive Step 3 Cove pin, w...

OL2: Beta Build 1.4.14 🚪 (PC, Mac, Android)

Hey everyone, the latest beta is ready! It includes most, though not all, of the last Step 1 Moment.

Home is super large and has a lot of complicated branches/alterations. The amount of content in this beta would normally be enough to be full new Moment, twice as much as normal. For Home, that much work is still not quite enough to finish it off. And last month we already included part of Part 1! This is a final hurdle before we're at the true end of Step 1 and we did our best.

OL2: Step 1 End Script Preview

Noooo, after so many years of development these precious childhood days are almost at an end 😭

[Also, the text transcript for the Q&A yesterday did get finished!]

Pure Text:

“Golden Grove was getting colder.”

“That was true day after day with no sign of it becoming a lie anytime soon.” 

“Nights and early mornings were the worst ...

Patreon Q&A: March 2025

[Text Transcript]

Hey, I finished recording the Q&A before our normal positing time, but the text transcript isn't done just yet. Since the month is almost over I didn't want to skip posting this today. I'll update the post to add the transcript later today or tomorrow. I'll also add a note in tomorrow...

OL2: Home Screenshots (Step 1 DLC)

Cool, Mr. Lin. That's great.

Qiu really did take after their parents, haha.

Project W Post: March 2025

Well, it's a Project W post day! Normally that's a Wednesday, however we're still working on the Q&A and the beta. Since I don't know for sure when they'll be ready, I want to post this now instead of saving it for later in the week.

So let's talk about lumulles some more!

Lumulle Info Part 3:

Lumulles are unusual creatures that aren't made of flesh or bone or organs. They consist of many thin layers of a clay-like substance. The layers are hardest on ...

OL2: Playground BG Step 1 Concepts

These were the two design concepts the BG artist made for the elementary school playground! Both look like a lot of fun. The one that's in the game is version B.

OL2: Qiu Halloween Costume (Step 2)

Yeah, Qiu found their thing as a child and stuck with it 💀🖤

Artist: redridingheart 

OL2: Lin Hobby Room Sketch (Step 1)

The Lins have a pretty big house for a family of three. That means they have space for a hobby room! It's the perfect place if you ever want to craft and crunch.

OL2: Step 2 Moment Icon Batch

Here's the finished versions of those new Step 2 Chapter cards! Pretty interesting. I'm sure these will be some fun Moments.

OL2: Home Screenshots (Step 1 DLC)

'Cause you had a bad day. You're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around. Life is hard for a ten-year-old 😔

OL2: Mr. Baumann & Opal Sprite Alterations (Step 2)

Oh boy, the town is getting into the school spirit, haha. Omi made that hat herself, by the way.

Artist: redridingheart 

OL2: Lin Car Interior BG (Step 1)

You get to take a ride with Qiu one rainy day 😌. And this is Mr. Lin's car. We showed off Mrs. Lin's van a while back.

OL2: Home Script Preview 3 (Step 1 DLC)

You get to show your friends your bedroom 😊

“The house had been good to its visitors at the start, but things couldn’t go smooth forever. Even though there were guests waiting, the door into your room [insisted on being difficult/still decided to be stuck]!” #if polite or not

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: March 2025

Two polls in a row, haha. Today we're gonna vote on another new discord emote for the Patreon server.

I'm thinking it could be one where someone is smiling sinisterly and reaching towards the screen. I picked out a few characters I thought would be fitting from the OL series, but there's also various people from our older games that'd make sense.

This poll closes after the 15th.

April 2025 Guest Art: Character Poll

I got a little thrown off at the start of this month because of the Cove pin merch launch, but here's the guest art poll for April!

March opened with a super cute picture of Tamarack as a spring fairy. But Qiu also won, so let's also have a piece with them as some kind of cute, spring spirit or elf or something. The poll will which age they should be. You can also leave comments to suggest their hair length and any other specific details.

The poll will close on March 12th...
