OL2: Beta Build 1.4.17 👑 (PC, Mac, Android)

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/sho...

Happy three year anniversary to doing these Patreon Q&As! It's a big one, phew.

OL2: Step 1 Voice Actor Announcement

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:

OL2: Qiu Gym Clothes (Step 2)

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!

The color of the leaf for you can change if you have certain favorite colors 🥰️

OL2: Step 2 Step 2 Cut-In Batch

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.

OL2: Fall Ended Script Preview (Step 1)

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.”

OL2: Grandparent Room BG (Step 1)

This is the finished gran-gran room! Omi is nice to let you kids go into a grown-up space. You won't be hanging out in Opal's or the Lin's bedrooms.

OL2: Yusuf Halloween Costume (Step 2)

So, that's how Yusuf dresses up for Halloween. The casual pose with that mask is very funny to me, haha.

OL2: Step 2 Step 2 Cut-In Batch (Sketches)

Here's some cut-in images from the Moment I'm writing this month. It's called Rhyming Riddles and you get to play a scavenger hunt!

GB Patch Discord Emote Poll: May 2025

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.

Question Thread: May 2025 [CLOSED]

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). Jus...

June 2025 Guest Art: Character Poll

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 choo...

OL2: Mrs. Lin Halloween Costume (Step 2)

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.

Month End Post: April 2025 Wrap-Up

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

It’s the end of the month! We’re here to catch you up on all of the progress and activities that our team has been working on. So sit back, relax, and take a gander at the GB Pat...

OL2: Beta Build 1.4.15-6 💓 (PC, Mac, Android)

[EDIT: There was an error we had to risk right away. If you have version 1.4.15 please download the 1.4.16 build instead!]

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...

Project W Post: April 2025

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.

Lumulles are highly resistant to slash damage, you really shouldn't even try. And piercing attempts usually only make ...

OL2: Demo Plans

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 co...

OL2: Mr. Lin Halloween Costume (Step 2)

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