Month Beginning Post: November 2024 Plans

[The beautiful guest art is by @NemiZeiya on Twitter]

Hello!

Fall is almost over already where I live 😞. It's been nice working on OL2 during this time of year. I'm gonna miss it when winter comes. But time continues its march forward, and progress here keeps coming along as well.

If you want to see what got done in October, you can read that HERE. And here's the plans for November-

Monthly Content Plans:

Halloween is behind us now; I'll be writing and programming things unrelated to the spooky season.

I'm sure what many people are excited to hear about is that promised fall demo update for OL2. That will be launching this month! It's going to include the proper transition between Steps 1 and 2 and the introduction scenes for Opal, Tamarack, and Qiu. From there, it will continue into the Step 2 preview that's already in the demo. The Step 2 section is gonna be twice as long as before. This won't be ready until mid or late November. It still needs sound effects and some edits before it can come out of beta status.

As for more typical development plans, Step 1 scenes will be programmed again. A beta is gonna come out with at least half of a new childhood moment. I'm also going to write a second Moment for Step 2 and draft a third Moment. Plus, I'll continue to brainstorm the rest of the Step. Hopefully this month will have as much progress as October did.

Another piece of huge news is that the new community manager will come on board this month ✨. She'll be the one making posts on our public social media going forward (I'm still gonna do most stuff for Patreon). She'll also write progress updates for GB Patch Games going forward. I'm actually really slow at deciding what to say. Even though the posts I make are fairly short, it takes hours out of my schedule every month. It's gonna be a relief to not have to balance that on my plate anymore. Instead, I can focus on having more big word count days.

Though, in November I'll need to do extra business related work to make sure the community manager has a lot of support when first getting started.

Alright, that's the update. It might possibly be the last monthly update I put together myself. Future posts will have similar information, the explanation about it will just be written by someone else. Honestly, they'll probably be better going forward, haha. But thank you to everyone who has checked in on the happenings here at GB Patch Games 💞

As a solo mum (ie like the mum in OL2) with a 10 year old son we can't wait for the new book - he has already started the demo, so important for him to have access to stories where he can see representation. Cove Holden is my favourite fictional bestfriend/partner but I can see he has competition in OL2. The way the stories draw you into their world is truly amazing. Thank you.

So excited for OL2!!! Absolutely loved the first one and replayed it quite a few times! I look forward do doing the same with this one! :D

Loved OL1, Felt a little down when it ended, sad to leave Cove and his family behind. Just got round to meeting Qiu and friends in OL2. This, I think, is going to be another wonderful story. Qiu is so nice in the first chapter, and I like his friends too. Cool to see Baxter there :) Wow, the beginning of the second chapter pulls at the heart, that was a shock.
