Patreon Q&A: February 2024

[Text transcript]

It's Q&A day! We've got another long session this time around. I had a lot of lengthy answers for whatever reason, haha.

And for anyone who might want to follow/reach out to the p...

OL2: Pumpkin Patch BG (Step 1)

Here's the completed background! You visit the pumpkin patch on a foggy autumn morning🎃 

OL2: Hide & Seek Screenshots (Step 1)

An enigma is a pastel sweater 🐼

The cul-de-sac kids have a new mystery on their hands. I wonder if it'll turn out successful. You can play this scene in the beta that was released yesterday if you're on tier 3 or higher!

OL2: Beta Build 1.3.10 🎀 (PC, Mac, Android)

Here we go! It's the start of another adventure and MC is asking the important questions, haha. This month's beta has added Part 1 of a brand-new Step 1 Moment. 

If you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes HERE 2024-02-21 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post

OL2: Rain Speed Animation

Our Life: Now & Forever has a very snazzy rain animation. It doesn't show up the best as a gif, but how heavily it's raining can change and the drops appear on different depth levels of the background. Even more extra touches to the rain effect will be added later in development as well!

OL2: Spoiler Sprite 2 Lineart (Step 3)

Here's the lovely lady's proper lineart and expression sheet. Look at those earmuffs. She's so pretty 🥰️

You can read more about her in the sketch post HERE.

OL2: Magic Script Sample 2

This has nothing to do with magic, but is just funny. You can deny Qiu entry into your backyard when it's time to go meet Tamarack for the evening's adventure, haha. Of course, you can also let him pass if you're kind like that 😇

Pure Text:

qiu “Hey, [first_name]!”

“That thought got an answer quick. You turned to see Qiu standing at the edge of his ...

OL2: NPC Icons Mr. and Mrs. Baumann (Step 2)

Tamarack's parents have icons! Now they'll actually get to speak in-game. But do we want to listen to them, haha?

[Eyebrows and mouths will appear in the game itself, these are just the bases]

OL2: Magic Screenshot (Step 1)

How fun and mysterious. I wonder what Qiu Lin might wish for 👀

OL2: Road Concept Art Sketches 2

These are the concept sketches for the other perspective of the winding road out of the neighborhood. The way it all looked was already decided with the other viewpoint BG, so it was really just decided exactly what angle to use and how close it should be to the houses. The one that ended up in the game was C!

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: February 2024

Hi! Let's design another emote for the Private GB Patch Discord.

In last month's poll, we were voting on which kind of emote design to go with. Clown makeup won in the end, but flashing evil eyes was a close second. So, this month that's what we're going to have: an emote flashing evil eyes. 

The voting will help determine which character gets featured. We have enough of the OL...

OL: Pumpkin Patch BG Sketch (Step 1)

I've written the full Halloween Moment for Step 1 already, Trick-or-Treat, and now we're having the first background location done for that story! Before the quest for candy, you get to pick a pumpkin 😊

And here's a fun fact- when I was a teen I sometimes went by the username Pumpkin Patch. That is where the "Patch" in "GB Patch Games" actually comes from, haha. Now one of my games fin...

OL2: Spoiler Sprite 2 (Sketch, Step 3)

We've got another very special character reveal today. In Step 3, local lesbian Vianca has found a girlfriend ❗❗❗ 

It's incredible. Vianca absolutely adores her adorable girlfriend. The girlfriend is a balancing weight to Vianca's idolization. She keeps things cool and leans towards some dry sarcasm.

But something about this lady might be ringing bells for a few of our pl...

OL2: Magic Script Sample

Today we have another look into the final free-to-play Moment of Step 1. This from Part 1 of the story, but the event is so large it has three parts instead of the usual two. Excitingly, all three are already done right now! I managed to finish the Moment recently 🥳️. Now it's on to the writing the remaining DLC Moments and finally the "Fall Ended" portion of Step 1. We're getting there. 2024-02-07 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
