I have a question that's been keeping me up at night: will there be two more "Our Life" VN? I mean... if two of these are set in two of the four seasons (summer and autumn), is it possible that spring and winter will have their own "Our Life"? I sincerely love these VNs so much, I'd love to see more of them
Andrea or 'Andi' ... I've been thinking how she'd look based on her character doll and I finally got around actually drawing her, this is one of my favorite games, between this and the our life: BA , all I have been drawing lately is fanart and oc doodkes
I'm so glad you like how she looks! I also drew her as a 14 yo and a 18 yo, but i figured i'd post these drawings after I've finished rendering them, I'd also love to learn about your different mcs, I've seen some and they all look so pretty!
yayyyyyy moreeee!!! I still gotta do the rest of the sports tho... And don't get me started on alternate versions... It'll be fun for sure but heesh it'll take a while
Hi, I'm loving the game, it's become my favorite, but if in a future update or outside of the demo you could add other languages to the game, I'm not fluent in English and this makes it very difficult to understand certain things, which would harm my experience. I'm from Brazil, so please add Brazilian Portuguese!
We're so glad you're enjoying it. Unfortunately, there won't be any translations made, as the game is too long and complicated. We really appreciate you playing, and thank you for following us.
I drew a scene from Step 2 with Step 2 Qiu and my MC, Rose of Sharon. Looking at Qiu under the golden summer sun, Rosasharon felt his heart flutter and fall for them all over again. 😚 (Pose reference by @agabambiyy!)
Also, I’m still taking requests to draw your MCs! If you're interested, please leave a comment with:
Quick, someone grab a glass of water for their jaw! 😂 Thank you! By the way, I saw your MC and... is that a ponytail? I’m OBSESSED with ponytails! And that smile in your drawing is just precious. ❤️
I’ve finished the drawing for you! ❤️ Rain was a bit of a challenge to paint, but I hope you like how it turned out. Your MC is so charming—I especially loved the diamond-shaped highlights in Zephyr's eyes and that subtle difference in brightness between them. Such a lovely detail! 😘
(To answer your question, I only upload my art here on itch.io!)
I’m so glad you love it! ❤️ And of course, I’d be honored if you used it as your profile picture! It makes me so happy to know you like it that much. 🥰 See you around in the comments! ✨
OH MY GAWDD THIS IS LITERALLY MASJESTIC BRO I LOVE YOUR ARTSYLE AND COLORING 🥺‼️
I would LOVEE to have my mc be drawn by you!!
This is her general design from like a year ago but I updated her bangs recently so if youre drawing her then draw the new bangs ☺ you can choose whichever step you want!!
I hope this meets your expectations! I actually realized later that I missed the scarf—I'm so sorry about that. 😭 It’s not perfect, but I hope you enjoy the vibe! Thank you for waiting! ❤️
I just noticed you already changed your profile picture to the drawing!! 🥺 Thank you for the huge compliment, I’m so glad you like it that much. ❤️ Have a wonderful day! ✨
Helllppp! This is so ethereal! 😭 the lighting is so gorgeous! And i love your rendering and lineart, it has a hand-drawn rustic feel, both Qiu and your mc are literally glowing!
Thank you, Seirababy! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the rustic feel of the lines and the rendering. It was so much fun working on the lighting for this piece, and your comment just made the whole process worth it! 🥰
If you still take requests I'd be happy if you drew my mc, i already posted her picture in one of the newest posts, i don't have any specific picture references in mind so you can have fun with it
I finished the drawing! 🥰 To be honest, I had this sudden 'inspiration' that a floral dress would look absolutely stunning on Andi, so I just went with my gut! 😉
I really hope this surprise matches what you were secretly hoping for! She’s so gorgeous and I had a blast rendering her. Enjoy! ❤️✨
Thank you for the beautiful surprise, she looks so incredible in your style 🥹 im so happy you went with your gut because i've personally always enjoyed dressing my ocs in big, fluffy dresses, I can absolutely see this as a dress she'd wear, also blue is her in game favorite color so it's absolutely perfect for her
You have an incredible artstyle, thank you for drawing her
Thanks for the request! Your MC looks so cool, I’d love to draw him! 🥰 Just a heads up, it's currently the Lunar New Year holiday in my country, so it might take me a little longer than usual. I hope you understand! 😚
Also, I want to get the details right—does he have a scar on his lower face? If so, is it by the side of his mouth (like the game icon), not there at all, or crossing over his lips? Let me know! ❤️
I would love for Dominic to be drawn in this style if possible? The art you make is so delicious I would watch any show or read any novel if this was the styleI like this pose but perhaps with him smiling?
AAANDD AT QUARTERBACK, NUMBER SIXTEEN... DANIEEEELLLL WATTTT
Thought about making him a Running Back or even a Safety but QB1 for the Otters felt just right. Also made a little concept for their away uniform. Might make some others for the rest of the sports teams
First of all, I want to say this demo is so wonderful that I've already read it twice and I'm not bored at all. You're doing a really great job; the dedication and love you put into it is very evident. I'll wait as long as it takes to read it completely because I truly love this visual novel. Now, I've seen that some users are sharing artwork of their MCs, and they're all so cute that I'm a little embarrassed to share mine. Besides, my art isn't that great, but it's done and I really wanted to share it. I hope my little Vladimir is well-received here. (Please excuse any mistakes; I'm still learning the languag😭)
I really like this one! I love that there are so many options, including ones where you don’t actually have to speak to communicate, since I don't normally do that with other people
Smol Izzy and Baxter<3! Ever since I drew smol Izzy and Qiu, I've been wanting to draw smol Izzy and Baxter and it's finally done! Both of them are absolute cuties<3!
I love Renee so much, I kinda hope she was a love interest :] I can at least hope for her to be one in a future game :3 (I haven't gone through all that is available rn, I only learned about her being trans after reading the list of comments for a lil while, I'm sorryyyyy)
I really love how much the script branches and I really enjoy what is available rn, I very excited for the full release :33
I've been seeing people posting their Character Bios so i wanted to join in. Perhaps one day I can draw him (when i finally learn the bare basics). It's really hard to condense a layered character down to a simple bio. Step 1:
i got a problem, my old laptop broke and i yet to get it fix so it had everything on it like my loads and i got a new computer and i dont know how to get back where i was because i dont want to play the whole game over again so yeh
Sorry about your laptop! If you can somehow get access to the old files, you can transfer your save data to any number of new computers. But if you can't get access to anything on that old computer, then unfortunately there isn't another way of getting it back.
Hey do you guys plan to add ASL options for all the spoken options? I have a fully mute character and while I love the options that are fully silent, I wish I could use the speech options without it breaking caninity of my OC. And if there are some already in the game, how do I tell?
That would be so good, either an option that let's us alter our options to say: you sign "thing said to them here" or a text edit that replaces certain interactions with more ASL style options.
I'm mute fairly often and always head canon it as signing or using my phone text to speech in place of talking.
Hello! Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to implement anything for ASL specifically. It would be too many choices to include verbal, non-verbal, and ASL responses for each of the many choices made throughout the game. Sorry about that, but we appreciate such a thoughtful suggestion. Thank you for playing!
alguna vez han pensado que el juego tenga una version en español?, yo hablo español y un poco de ingles pero se me dificulta un poco traducir los dialogos :(
x2 mi primera lengua es español y el ingles se me dificulta un poco y siempre tengo que traducir bastante ajaja ojala saquen version en español, por ahora desconozco como manejan lo del idioma o creo que también piden traductores y no hay gente para eso, pero ni idea, tambien puedes usar traductores de imagenes al jugar y que sea mas comodo jugar, suerte! :)
Hiya!! I wanted to ask, or suggest, an OLNF fan discord server? I've been thinking of making one for a bit but I wanted to see who would join if I was to make one! I know there's the GBPatch server, but I was thinking one just for OLNF + maybe OLBA.
Guys pls help im stupid, how do you download/play this game on android? It comes out as a .bin file and i have genuinely no clue how to open that??😭😭i tried using the first free bin file opener i could file but nothing happens after i try uploading the file...
On another note, ive also installed this game on my mac, but the renpy sync just DOESNT work for me. My original device is a windows pc, and whenever i try inputting a renpy sync code into the mac, the game just crashes.
Sorry you're having issues! I have a couple of suggestions that might help. Firstly, you can try directly renaming the .bin file to be .apk instead, which is the file format it is supposed to be. Secondly, you can try downloading the file from a different browser. Hopefully one of those things helps, but if not, let me know and we can try something else.
Silly little fan comic about how how Qiu's name and one of my MC's mean the same thing. that I shared in the Discord group but thought I would also share here.
OMG! I am also doing that trend too!! The song really fits MC and Tamarack hehe. And thank you for feeding the Tamarack lovers <3 your shoulders must be aching from carrying the Tamarack fandom </3
I also decided to do Timothy's relationship chart to summarize his interactions he had with the characters! Inspired by cheapcoconutjam and vivistreehouse for their MCs' charts <3 and template belongs to @marzopan-art from Tumblr!
Each characters has their own (handwriting) fonts and colors, let me know if you need me to type their dialogues in the reply! Step 1: Writing Tamarack's thoughts is cheesy haha I never had experience writing romance. Especially how direct she can be that adds up the cheesy-ness, so I added her second line to balance it off lol. Also, we love some Qiu's unrequited love >:)
Step 2: Here we get to see Timothy's thoughts about all of them <3 I was having a hard time for Serenity because they only appeared in the step 2 prologue, giving me the impression they're more of Tamarack's friend (or Tamarack and MC's friend) but not MC alone(?) So Tim's in between friendly-neutral to Serenity. I had a funny headcanon because Qiu is often seen with Tim, they (unintentionally) scared off Serenity away lol. But I hope we get to know them more in Step 2 moments like how we befriended Ren and Baxter in Step 1!
I prefer to focus Tim and Tam's romance in step 2 since it's more interesting than Timmy and Tam's fluff romance in step 1. Timothy and Tamarack have gotten more aware of their own feelings, especially how different they used to treat each other in step 1. In response, Timothy felt like he only spent time with Tamarack when they were ten and not getting to know her deeply enough for four years. Especially how Timothy kept the problems to himself from Tamarack! He needs to realize he has to trust her more </3
Baxman Baxter?! That is cute not gonna lie. I also added Izzy relationship chart down below<3. It took me quite awhile to finish lol.
For step 1 I feel that Baxter is definitely confused on what he is feeling and on how to treat Izzy and it wasn't until years passed that he finally understood his own emotions and that he actually likes her but felt that she deserves better than him.
I love how creative you got w the arrows!!! Timmy yearning for Tammy and qiu trying to deny their feelings 😭😭😭 qq but I thought timmy was cis? What gender identity is he 👐
Hehe thank you, I had fun with the one with Vianca lol! He does identify himself as male but he's intersex! He was often assumed as female at first meeting/glance because of his voice and appearance. Just to note, I'm not an intersex person myself (cis) so I was only reading an intersex person's experiences
This is mine don't have step two done because on this slot i haven't gotten there so i haven't changed my character Seb is neurodivergent so he really likes the bands that he listens to and the shows that he watches To the point of learning how to make music and animate. He also can't pick up on social ques very well and can't tell when he's making someone uncomfortable(especially Darren). He's also just a massive cluts and falls down a lot. (I'll post a step 2 one to when I get to it on this save)
My relationship chart for my MC Sahil who is somewhat based off myself as a kid but slightly less hesitant to get into trouble or talk back to people, and way less anxious.
Step 1: Sahil is pretty shy and unsure about the people around him. Except for Tamarack who he constantly follows around with hearts in his eyes wherever she goes. Most people are also unsure around him cause he doesn't talk much and looks quite fragile and clumsy, but once they start interacting with him, he shows more of his personality and turns out to be a pretty witty and opinionated child, as well as a rulebreaker despite his meek exterior. Its never the ones you expect. Step 2: In the years between steps, Sahil has exited his shell and become a bit more talkative. He is a lot more openly witty, using deadpan humor and sarcasm to counter people's rudeness. He has a lot lower tolerance for annoying people. He also swears like a sailor, he learned it online. He is a bit overly protective and jealous over Tamarack, but doesn't realize Tamarack is also jealous over him hanging out with Qiu. He also doesn't really let her in on any of his problems to keep her from getting worried about him. Sahil is one of the few people who can hang around Qiu and even openly tease them or call them out on being dramatic even when they're in a bad mood. Qiu has kinda taken this as a sign to start rage baiting Sahil. Sahil has strangely gained a decent amount of popularity through the town from just being around Qiu without getting him pissed off. This kind of annoys him because people keep approaching him to ask for advice or carry messages to Qiu. Vianca is like his mortal enemy simply because she constantly ignores him and interrupts his conversations with Tamarack and making her anxious. Vianca barely knows who he is, but dislikes him because he's always with Tamarack.
Helloooo my mc is still in development, i have an entire google doc and everything (im so hyper fixated) i just don't have access to the game atm 😭 so i cant do their descriptors, or character thing but i saw someone do a relationship chart and i thought it would be fun to do that (ill update with their character when i get access to the game)
So heres a small introduction to Dawn Flores!! (Step 2 in replies)
Yeah i have nothing much to say other than that Qiu and Tamarack arguing makes me sad and that Baxter actually cares in his own kinda way. Also why is background so hard? I actually gave up trying to draw the background and just used some of the background cg from the game lol
Izzy, I was really fangirling squeal to see your MC and Baxter interacting together hahah ❤️ it makes me want to see them together in the end 🥹 And heck, I'm not ready how step 1 epilogue is going to end for Qiu and Tamarack. I'm not ready for their angst! :,)
Hehe thank you<3! I was in the process of brainstorming on ways to make both Izzy and Baxter end up together which ended up with me getting sidetracked and making this short comic lol. And I get you! I'm also not ready for Step 1 epilogue angst TwT.
Help, I want to draw Lily in a semi-realistic style, but I don't even know what I'm doing because I don't understand color theory. I'll upload the result when I finish it 🥹
Too consistent? I might as well borrow that if you don't mind 😭 but your art is so good, I'd love to see how everyone's MCs look like in your art style! I don't usually make anyone draw my MC but I really want to help you with your artblock since I've been there before (and as for me I need to be less shy to have Timmy drawn more haha) u can look at my page to see Timmy! I can't post images for some reason :,(
I'm glad she has you thrilled and that you found drawing her fun; the doodle you made is beautiful 🫶🏻 The first picture was an experiment I did trying out a new style and brush, I'm glad it caught your attention.🥰 (Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, English is not my first language 😅)
I'm definitely late to the party but if you're still looking for MCs to doodle, I'd like to nominate Zephyr (to the left). If you wanna draw El instead that's okay too ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
I also did Crush to Neighbors relationship for angst hehe. Qiu's scene to befriending him again in step 2 is so well done, so I'm hoping to see what Tamarack would say to be friends with her again (or crushes!)
Love the relationship chart <3 very interesting to learn about Mykae
DDDUUDEEE!!! IM BACK! I feel like I was gone for so long... I had to lock in for the new semester.... Anyway! I really wanna see how some of our MC's would interact, maybe be friends? would your MC befriend Izzy, Timmy, or Dominic for example. Mine would! In step one he idolizes Timmy, originally. trying to challenge Timmy because of his height, but soon resolving that Timmy won't fight him. He finds Timmy to be pretty and sweet, a princess in his eyes. (even if that princess seems to be more of a boy) He sees Izzy as a maiden in need of help and is making it his mission to help her bag baxter and get them to live happily ever after. He personally thinks Izzy could do better, but alas, who is he to go against his friend. Those are my HC! Credits for characters Izzy Atyra - Izzy and Ranran-woo - Timmy.
blythe would SO admire izzy! idk why, but ever since i saw izzy, she gave me big sister energy a lot LMAO. she'd think izzy looked cool and stuff (especially in step 1 where they're all kids), even though izzy is shorter... and i think she'd get along well with dominic! their personalities seem similar to me, and it'd be so chaotic if they interact lmao 😭😭 he'd remind her of her own younger (cousin) brothers too LMAO
and also PEAKmelia peakamy wood (PEAKstar137's mc) is who jaehwa would especially admire too! personality and reputation is another thing, but if jaehwa sees that someone is smart, hard-working, and ambitious? she will DEFINITELY like that person. and amelia is sort of like a role model (ish) to her too lol. i dont think she'd try talking with her a lot but everytime jaehwa sees her, she'd uncharacteristically be like "oh hey look it's amelia"
Izzy would definitely be good friends with Blythe. She thinks that Blythe is a very sweet and loveable girl. I can see them hanging out and have girls talk and stuff.
Dominic is someone that Izzy think has a very big heart. His sense of justice and how he helps others are very admireable. I can see that they would definitely be friends that help each other.
Timothy is someone that Izzy is comfortable with. They would joke around together sometimes. She think that it's hilarious how he is still so expressive even when he doesn't talk much lol.
I headcanon step 1! Timmy started doing charades game out of nowhere and Izzy has to guess what he's trying to say lol! He always messes playfully with everyone
By then, Timothy does speak often growing out of his non-verbal childhood. So MCs may start to learn about him more but all in all, he's still the same Timmy :D
Izzy (Izzy Atyra) is the one of MCs he would be looking for if he wasn't hanging out with Tam or Qiu at school. Like Izzy said, they do actually joke around! But when being a preteen, Timothy was really worried if he should lessen his rowdy energy around Izzy and hasn't expressed to her yet. He cares Izzy a lot as much as everyone else (and so he tries to mention Izzy whenever he talks to Baxter - "Oh man, I totally miss Izzy, don't you Baxxy? >:3c")
Dominic (PlayingDomioes) is part of Step 1! Timmy's 'da booois' friend group. So Timothy doesn't hesitate to be a rascal around Dominic. He acts like a damsel in distress, especially in step 2 when his small problems annoy Timothy, "Sir Knight, Qiu Lin is bullying me </3" He couldn't help but lightly poke fun on Dom but he also cares for him too.
Rovi (Zein) is one of the MCs he relates to a lot, both of them are worried if Golden Grove is the right choice for them. But he didn't want to drop all his anxieties to Rovi and only shares sentiment to one another. So when he feels homesick, sometimes, he goes to Rovi for emotional support and just share stories about their old homes. Otherwise, he still treats Rovi like a close friend (which is everyone else but he digress, he loves to gets to know with every MCs).
Mykae (cheapcoconutjam) is another friend he likes to chill a lot like Izzy except they formed 'Tamarack Fan Club' group to appreciate our angel princess Tamarack Baumann. Most of the time they're good friends who hang out with the other MCs to have some fun or chill together with Timothy being the yapper the most.
Now I can't fit every MCs here :,( so I decide to write special interactions ✨
MCs with Cranberry Hair/Eyes = Timothy sees them as his siblings right away. Step 1! Timothy acts like the youngest or middle child but Step 2! Timothy becomes like the eldest, he looks after your MC with care but doesn't hold back treating MC like his sibling (ruffles their hair or carrying them off the floor or possibly wrestle for some MCs)
MCs who plays instruments = Timothy offers to do some garage band performances despite being part of his own band already. If the instrument is not part of rock category, he would like to be invited to watch them perform! Otherwise, as long as he play his bass with other MCs who can play their own instruments, he's willing to perform together. (Just don't ask about his singing, he reaally gets shy).
MCs who likes to style their clothes or aims to be part of fashion industry = Timothy really hesitates to ask your MC for their advice, so he tried to act casual about it like "I don't really care about the colors I wear....but how do I look in this?" MCs' clothes would really catch his eye in the school's hallway and gets him distracted, he gets inspired by the style. Also, you *have* to ask Timothy to be a model. Qiu and Tam think Timothy's ego rises a lot whenever he's asked to model for photoshoots, and now for styling clothes? Timothy can't say no to that!

this demo is awesome im so excited!!
I have a question that's been keeping me up at night: will there be two more "Our Life" VN? I mean... if two of these are set in two of the four seasons (summer and autumn), is it possible that spring and winter will have their own "Our Life"? I sincerely love these VNs so much, I'd love to see more of them
that’s such a good question actually, now i am curious!!
Currently there are no other Our Life games planned, but we're so happy you love the games. Thanks for following!
I'm so happy that someone else thought the same thing!
I made an art of all of the Our Life love interest and would like to share it here!
I love this! They look so cute!!! I really like how you drew Baxter's hair here and the playful expression 💗
Hehe thank you<3! All of them was fun to draw!
Here's a drawing I made of my character
Andrea or 'Andi' ... I've been thinking how she'd look based on her character doll and I finally got around actually drawing her, this is one of my favorite games, between this and the our life: BA , all I have been drawing lately is fanart and oc doodkes
She is so cute! She got that cotton candy vibe<3. Very fluffy and adorable
I'm so glad you like how she looks! I also drew her as a 14 yo and a 18 yo, but i figured i'd post these drawings after I've finished rendering them, I'd also love to learn about your different mcs, I've seen some and they all look so pretty!
Aww thank for your interest in my Mc! I also can't wait to see more of your mc too! And I agree, a lot of the MCs here are so pretty TwT

Uhmuhm HERES MY MC OKAY THANKS BYE
yayyyyyy moreeee!!! I still gotta do the rest of the sports tho... And don't get me started on alternate versions... It'll be fun for sure but heesh it'll take a while
Just created my account after playing the demo, I wanna be a game dev just like you guys some day.
Guys sense I was super bored.... Here is a drawing of my MC Sasha with Qiu! (In step 3)
Also, idk if you guys notice already, I don't know how to color my art so that's why most of my drawings are just sketches :')
What I meant on idk how to color my art is idk shadowing and lighting like where to put the shadows and lighting :(
Hi, I'm loving the game, it's become my favorite, but if in a future update or outside of the demo you could add other languages to the game, I'm not fluent in English and this makes it very difficult to understand certain things, which would harm my experience. I'm from Brazil, so please add Brazilian Portuguese!
We're so glad you're enjoying it. Unfortunately, there won't be any translations made, as the game is too long and complicated. We really appreciate you playing, and thank you for following us.
I drew a scene from Step 2 with Step 2 Qiu and my MC, Rose of Sharon. Looking at Qiu under the golden summer sun, Rosasharon felt his heart flutter and fall for them all over again. 😚 (Pose reference by @agabambiyy!)
Also, I’m still taking requests to draw your MCs! If you're interested, please leave a comment with:
* A picture/reference of your MC
* The pose or expression you'd like
I'll try my best to draw them in my style! ❤️
Omg Eoris is back with another banger art! Qiu and Rosasharon looks so pretty<3!
Thank you for always coming by, Izzy! ❤️ To be honest, a face deeply in love is my absolute favorite expression to draw. 😍
OH MY LORD MY JAW DROPPEDDDDDD!!!!!
Quick, someone grab a glass of water for their jaw! 😂 Thank you! By the way, I saw your MC and... is that a ponytail? I’m OBSESSED with ponytails! And that smile in your drawing is just precious. ❤️

Hi (o´▽`o)ﾉ
I'm a lurker in the comment section and love your art (, do you upload on any media?). It would be a blessing to see my MC drawn by you (≧◡≦)
Here's a reference and Zephyr(step1):
I’ve finished the drawing for you! ❤️ Rain was a bit of a challenge to paint, but I hope you like how it turned out. Your MC is so charming—I especially loved the diamond-shaped highlights in Zephyr's eyes and that subtle difference in brightness between them. Such a lovely detail! 😘
(To answer your question, I only upload my art here on itch.io!)
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVE IT THANK YOUUU!!
You noticed the eye difference Σ(°ロ°) thank you for paying attention to the details ♡
It's been an honour to receive this, can I make it my profile?
(Sad to hear that but I'll just keep my eyes peeled on the comments! ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ )
I’m so glad you love it! ❤️ And of course, I’d be honored if you used it as your profile picture! It makes me so happy to know you like it that much. 🥰 See you around in the comments! ✨
OH MY GAWDD THIS IS LITERALLY MASJESTIC BRO I LOVE YOUR ARTSYLE AND COLORING 🥺‼️

OMG YOU MADE MY GIRL LOOK SO PRETTY 🥺🥺 THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! I wasn't expecting you to finish it so fast 😭
Also, it's fine! The scarf is hard to draw anyways BUT THIS TURNED OUT SO CUTEE THANK YOU AGAIN 🫶🫶

amazing work u are a super talented individual
It really means a lot to me. Glad you enjoyed my work! ✨
Helllppp! This is so ethereal! 😭 the lighting is so gorgeous! And i love your rendering and lineart, it has a hand-drawn rustic feel, both Qiu and your mc are literally glowing!
Amazing work 👏
Thank you, Seirababy! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the rustic feel of the lines and the rendering. It was so much fun working on the lighting for this piece, and your comment just made the whole process worth it! 🥰
If you still take requests I'd be happy if you drew my mc, i already posted her picture in one of the newest posts, i don't have any specific picture references in mind so you can have fun with it
I finished the drawing! 🥰 To be honest, I had this sudden 'inspiration' that a floral dress would look absolutely stunning on Andi, so I just went with my gut! 😉
I really hope this surprise matches what you were secretly hoping for! She’s so gorgeous and I had a blast rendering her. Enjoy! ❤️✨
Thank you for the beautiful surprise, she looks so incredible in your style 🥹 im so happy you went with your gut because i've personally always enjoyed dressing my ocs in big, fluffy dresses, I can absolutely see this as a dress she'd wear, also blue is her in game favorite color so it's absolutely perfect for her
You have an incredible artstyle, thank you for drawing her
yknow, why not, if you’re still taking requests I got this fella.
Reference Step 2 (sorry if the images are low quality my device ain’t doing too hot today) and any pose is fine really:
Thanks for the request! Your MC looks so cool, I’d love to draw him! 🥰 Just a heads up, it's currently the Lunar New Year holiday in my country, so it might take me a little longer than usual. I hope you understand! 😚
Also, I want to get the details right—does he have a scar on his lower face? If so, is it by the side of his mouth (like the game icon), not there at all, or crossing over his lips? Let me know! ❤️
I would love for Dominic to be drawn in this style if possible? The art you make is so delicious I would watch any show or read any novel if this was the style
I like this pose but perhaps with him smiling?
AAANDD AT QUARTERBACK, NUMBER SIXTEEN... DANIEEEELLLL WATTTT
First of all, I want to say this demo is so wonderful that I've already read it twice and I'm not bored at all. You're doing a really great job; the dedication and love you put into it is very evident. I'll wait as long as it takes to read it completely because I truly love this visual novel. Now, I've seen that some users are sharing artwork of their MCs, and they're all so cute that I'm a little embarrassed to share mine. Besides, my art isn't that great, but it's done and I really wanted to share it. I hope my little Vladimir is well-received here. (Please excuse any mistakes; I'm still learning the languag😭)
Hello! It's nice to meet Vlad! He is so cool!
Thank you so much, your MC was the first one I saw and I thought she was very cute 😊
Aww thank you! That means a lot to me<3
ayy Howdy Vlad! He’s very Full of Life isn’t here lol
Yeeeeaaaa Vlad! 🔥
Hi Vlad!! he seems like such a little trouble maker! I'm exited to see how he develops!
Man, now I'm actually tearing up. Why do your games do this to me? I mean it in the nicest way possible
I really like this one! I love that there are so many options, including ones where you don’t actually have to speak to communicate, since I don't normally do that with other people
I'm mute most of the time, so this is nice :]
Hi :]
increible juego, necesito una version en español jeje
Smol Izzy and Baxter<3! Ever since I drew smol Izzy and Qiu, I've been wanting to draw smol Izzy and Baxter and it's finally done! Both of them are absolute cuties<3!
Absolute babies. I love them
i need spanish version please
I love Renee so much, I kinda hope she was a love interest :]
I can at least hope for her to be one in a future game :3
(I haven't gone through all that is available rn, I only learned about her being trans after reading the list of comments for a lil while, I'm sorryyyyy)
I really love how much the script branches and I really enjoy what is available rn, I very excited for the full release :33
I've been seeing people posting their Character Bios so i wanted to join in. Perhaps one day I can draw him (when i finally learn the bare basics). It's really hard to condense a layered character down to a simple bio.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Of course it was the video games. Corrupting the children.
This is a joke, I swear too much for my own good. The rule always is "if there are no adults to hear it, it's fine.".
He seems sick 😮he's indian right? My mc is also half indian!
lol yeah he is Indian but mostly just because he's effectively a partial self insert of myself irl.
Do we know if they plan to launch another public beta before the November launch?
I don't think so, the roadmap says the only thing this year is the November early release
i got a problem, my old laptop broke and i yet to get it fix so it had everything on it like my loads and i got a new computer and i dont know how to get back where i was because i dont want to play the whole game over again so yeh
i think if you just redownload it on ur new computer, it should be there? if u havent tried yet lols
Sorry about your laptop! If you can somehow get access to the old files, you can transfer your save data to any number of new computers. But if you can't get access to anything on that old computer, then unfortunately there isn't another way of getting it back.
Hey do you guys plan to add ASL options for all the spoken options? I have a fully mute character and while I love the options that are fully silent, I wish I could use the speech options without it breaking caninity of my OC. And if there are some already in the game, how do I tell?
That would be so good, either an option that let's us alter our options to say: you sign "thing said to them here" or a text edit that replaces certain interactions with more ASL style options.
I'm mute fairly often and always head canon it as signing or using my phone text to speech in place of talking.
Hello! Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to implement anything for ASL specifically. It would be too many choices to include verbal, non-verbal, and ASL responses for each of the many choices made throughout the game. Sorry about that, but we appreciate such a thoughtful suggestion. Thank you for playing!
nice game!
alguna vez han pensado que el juego tenga una version en español?, yo hablo español y un poco de ingles pero se me dificulta un poco traducir los dialogos :(
x2 mi primera lengua es español y el ingles se me dificulta un poco y siempre tengo que traducir bastante ajaja ojala saquen version en español, por ahora desconozco como manejan lo del idioma o creo que también piden traductores y no hay gente para eso, pero ni idea, tambien puedes usar traductores de imagenes al jugar y que sea mas comodo jugar, suerte! :)
Hiya!! I wanted to ask, or suggest, an OLNF fan discord server? I've been thinking of making one for a bit but I wanted to see who would join if I was to make one! I know there's the GBPatch server, but I was thinking one just for OLNF + maybe OLBA.
We already have one! My discord is cassiel0852 if you want to message me for the link (◍•ᴗ•◍)
https://discord.gg/ I also made one for rp!
Guys pls help im stupid, how do you download/play this game on android? It comes out as a .bin file and i have genuinely no clue how to open that??😭😭i tried using the first free bin file opener i could file but nothing happens after i try uploading the file...
On another note, ive also installed this game on my mac, but the renpy sync just DOESNT work for me. My original device is a windows pc, and whenever i try inputting a renpy sync code into the mac, the game just crashes.
Sorry you're having issues! I have a couple of suggestions that might help. Firstly, you can try directly renaming the .bin file to be .apk instead, which is the file format it is supposed to be. Secondly, you can try downloading the file from a different browser. Hopefully one of those things helps, but if not, let me know and we can try something else.
Tysm! It works for me now.
Hurray! Glad to hear that. Thank you so much for playing, and hope you have fun.
Silly little fan comic about how how Qiu's name and one of my MC's mean the same thing. that I shared in the Discord group but thought I would also share here.
Awww they're so cute<3!
Melting from wholesome comic ❤️Autumns and a Tamarack🥺🍂
Tammy vid 🥺🥺 Here
OMG! I am also doing that trend too!! The song really fits MC and Tamarack hehe. And thank you for feeding the Tamarack lovers <3 your shoulders must be aching from carrying the Tamarack fandom </3
I also decided to do Timothy's relationship chart to summarize his interactions he had with the characters! Inspired by cheapcoconutjam and vivistreehouse for their MCs' charts <3 and template belongs to @marzopan-art from Tumblr!
Each characters has their own (handwriting) fonts and colors, let me know if you need me to type their dialogues in the reply!
Step 1: Writing Tamarack's thoughts is cheesy haha I never had experience writing romance. Especially how direct she can be that adds up the cheesy-ness, so I added her second line to balance it off lol. Also, we love some Qiu's unrequited love >:)
I prefer to focus Tim and Tam's romance in step 2 since it's more interesting than Timmy and Tam's fluff romance in step 1. Timothy and Tamarack have gotten more aware of their own feelings, especially how different they used to treat each other in step 1. In response, Timothy felt like he only spent time with Tamarack when they were ten and not getting to know her deeply enough for four years. Especially how Timothy kept the problems to himself from Tamarack! He needs to realize he has to trust her more </3
Also feel free to reply this post with your MC's relationship chart here <3 I would like to see it
Baxman Baxter?! That is cute not gonna lie. I also added Izzy relationship chart down below<3. It took me quite awhile to finish lol.
For step 1 I feel that Baxter is definitely confused on what he is feeling and on how to treat Izzy and it wasn't until years passed that he finally understood his own emotions and that he actually likes her but felt that she deserves better than him.
Izzy and Baxter will be the death of me 😩💔 and the fact Qiu still has a crush on Izzy in step 2! Oh the angst >:)
Baxman is going to be a permanent nickname from Timothy from now on haha, rich kid, dark and mysterious? That sounds like Baxter hehe
Yeah the angst is quite strong with this one. Also yeah, Baxter is literally Batman but with parent lol
hey do you have the blank templates id love to do one with my MC!!!
Oh sure here you go! The template belongs to @marzopan-art from Tumblr!
I love how creative you got w the arrows!!! Timmy yearning for Tammy and qiu trying to deny their feelings 😭😭😭 qq but I thought timmy was cis? What gender identity is he 👐
Hehe thank you, I had fun with the one with Vianca lol! He does identify himself as male but he's intersex! He was often assumed as female at first meeting/glance because of his voice and appearance. Just to note, I'm not an intersex person myself (cis) so I was only reading an intersex person's experiences
This is mine don't have step two done because on this slot i haven't gotten there so i haven't changed my character
Seb is neurodivergent so he really likes the bands that he listens to and the shows that he watches To the point of learning how to make music and animate. He also can't pick up on social ques very well and can't tell when he's making someone uncomfortable(especially Darren). He's also just a massive cluts and falls down a lot. (I'll post a step 2 one to when I get to it on this save)
Heey! Another Tamarack player ^^ <3 Seb is precious, I can't wait to see his step 2 <3 does he have a particular band he likes to listen?
yes he really really likes classic rock from the 80s and 90s with his favorite being Jamiroquai
Thank you, I'll take it as a recommendation and listen to the artist hehe. I'm only familiar of virtual insanity song, so I'll check the others :)
My relationship chart for my MC Sahil who is somewhat based off myself as a kid but slightly less hesitant to get into trouble or talk back to people, and way less anxious.
Step 1: Sahil is pretty shy and unsure about the people around him. Except for Tamarack who he constantly follows around with hearts in his eyes wherever she goes. Most people are also unsure around him cause he doesn't talk much and looks quite fragile and clumsy, but once they start interacting with him, he shows more of his personality and turns out to be a pretty witty and opinionated child, as well as a rulebreaker despite his meek exterior. Its never the ones you expect.
Step 2: In the years between steps, Sahil has exited his shell and become a bit more talkative. He is a lot more openly witty, using deadpan humor and sarcasm to counter people's rudeness. He has a lot lower tolerance for annoying people. He also swears like a sailor, he learned it online. He is a bit overly protective and jealous over Tamarack, but doesn't realize Tamarack is also jealous over him hanging out with Qiu. He also doesn't really let her in on any of his problems to keep her from getting worried about him. Sahil is one of the few people who can hang around Qiu and even openly tease them or call them out on being dramatic even when they're in a bad mood. Qiu has kinda taken this as a sign to start rage baiting Sahil. Sahil has strangely gained a decent amount of popularity through the town from just being around Qiu without getting him pissed off. This kind of annoys him because people keep approaching him to ask for advice or carry messages to Qiu. Vianca is like his mortal enemy simply because she constantly ignores him and interrupts his conversations with Tamarack and making her anxious. Vianca barely knows who he is, but dislikes him because he's always with Tamarack.
Helloooo my mc is still in development, i have an entire google doc and everything (im so hyper fixated) i just don't have access to the game atm 😭 so i cant do their descriptors, or character thing but i saw someone do a relationship chart and i thought it would be fun to do that (ill update with their character when i get access to the game)
So heres a small introduction to Dawn Flores!! (Step 2 in replies)
It feels like I'm anticipating a surpise haha, I'm so curious about your MC! I can't wait to meet them <3
YAYAYA I can't wait to show them to you!!!
Yeah i have nothing much to say other than that Qiu and Tamarack arguing makes me sad and that Baxter actually cares in his own kinda way. Also why is background so hard? I actually gave up trying to draw the background and just used some of the background cg from the game lol
Izzy, I was really fangirling squeal to see your MC and Baxter interacting together hahah ❤️ it makes me want to see them together in the end 🥹
And heck, I'm not ready how step 1 epilogue is going to end for Qiu and Tamarack. I'm not ready for their angst! :,)
Hehe thank you<3! I was in the process of brainstorming on ways to make both Izzy and Baxter end up together which ended up with me getting sidetracked and making this short comic lol. And I get you! I'm also not ready for Step 1 epilogue angst TwT.
AHHHHHHH MY BABIIEESSS
FINNAALLYY. The title is always a struggle. HERE YOU GO!!!!!
Dominic step 2 intro let's go!!
Dom being a theater kid 🥺<3 and how dare did the description says 'hard time holding onto friends' what happened? </3 😭
hes quite bouncy and its not pleasant for any parents, he has good intentions but not great execution
Oh no! 😭
Help, I want to draw Lily in a semi-realistic style, but I don't even know what I'm doing because I don't understand color theory. I'll upload the result when I finish it 🥹
Tammy's PJ in PJ Day sneek peek is too cute! I couldn't resist the urge to draw it so have this drawing lol
Omg! They're so precious ahhh!! Are they also sharing hair ties as well? 🥺
Yep they did share hair tie🤭🤭
Aww 🥺 they're so sweet together <3
This Step I cannot wait, Izzy and Tama look adorable in their pjs!! I wonder what they’re talking about 👀
Thank you<3! They're just having a normal girls talk lol
AAAWWW BABIEESSS
Yep they are just babies having a girls talk🤭🤭
guess who’s in art block…Me! Hooray :,)
So ive been thinking to draw or moreover doodle y’all’s olnfs mcs, to fight off my art block and get my skills back up !
I’ll be drawing two at a time in a format like this:
My Art style is pretty much too consistent, so I can’t keep up with any art style whenever I draw lol besides that. 💔😭
Too consistent? I might as well borrow that if you don't mind 😭 but your art is so good, I'd love to see how everyone's MCs look like in your art style! I don't usually make anyone draw my MC but I really want to help you with your artblock since I've been there before (and as for me I need to be less shy to have Timmy drawn more haha) u can look at my page to see Timmy! I can't post images for some reason :,(
Gang ur too nice Ty as always <3
btw no worries My thanks to u for giving me permission to doodle Timmy! My guy has me stunned locked lmao
I have to recover my shock for so long 😳 thank you so much!! I can't asldjkasnfne <333 you made my son so beautiful!!!
If you offer it, I won't say no 👀 I'll leave you a reference of Lilith for the drawing if you'd like 🫶🏻
Awh she’s so cute !! Thank u for sharing ur Child, absolutely had me thrilled :D
The first image caught my eye so, Very fun too doodle :D
Hope u like it✨
I'm glad she has you thrilled and that you found drawing her fun; the doodle you made is beautiful 🫶🏻 The first picture was an experiment I did trying out a new style and brush, I'm glad it caught your attention.🥰 (Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, English is not my first language 😅)
I'm definitely late to the party but if you're still looking for MCs to doodle, I'd like to nominate Zephyr (to the left). If you wanna draw El instead that's okay too ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
Omg I haven’t finished his step 2 writing yet but I feel like I should at least show his art! I put step one for the people who don’t know him!
I get Golden Retriever vibes from him, I love how hyper he seems, beautiful art too 🫶🏻 Lily would absolutely love him
I agree! He definitely has that Big Golden Retriever energy in him. Golden Retriever has got to be his spirit animal lol
Dominic art?! Especially step 2?! That red streak in his hair looked so good! He really is a handsome boy!
AWWWWW thanks!
I did the red streak for his scarf!
Yoo! Dom is growing up now :,) time passed by so fast! I can't wait to read his step 2 <3 love the design and those pinbuttons hehe
YIPPIEEE
Ughhh your art style is soon pretty!!
I low-key woke up at 2 am 2day so have some relationship dynamics (mykae pov)
Tammy - I think she's friendly (and cute). I need to look out for her, she gets herself in trouble sometimes...
Qiu - he looks out for me, hes sick. I wish I was as popular as him, but he's also helpful
Darren - he's mean, i dont like him.
Baxter - hes mature, kinda weird sometimes but we're still friends
Step 2-
Qiu - still pretty cool, I like them a lot! Kinda dumb at times but still! (Jealous over, loner at school so it made sense)
Tammy- we dont... talk as much as we used to. Still (pretty cute), why do i look after her? Sometimes she looks at me weird...(Neighbors)
Serenity - they have good taste in clothing, kinda fun to be around-
Ren - i feel bad for him, I look out for him sometimes.
Vianca-scares me alot but friendly enough to be around.
Baxter - I dont like him at, annoying, pretentious, and he doesn't seem to care that much at all. Thanks for the ride I guess.
You know what, Baxter = weird rich kid is totally a fair and valid opinion lol. I really can't deny that he is weird sometimes lol
I also did Crush to Neighbors relationship for angst hehe. Qiu's scene to befriending him again in step 2 is so well done, so I'm hoping to see what Tamarack would say to be friends with her again (or crushes!)
Love the relationship chart <3 very interesting to learn about Mykae
HEEYYY I was wondering if you'd be willing to share the template?
Sure (these are from marzopan-art)
Now I actually want to do this too ngl! 😳
DDDUUDEEE!!! IM BACK! I feel like I was gone for so long... I had to lock in for the new semester.... Anyway! I really wanna see how some of our MC's would interact, maybe be friends? would your MC befriend Izzy, Timmy, or Dominic for example. Mine would! In step one he idolizes Timmy, originally. trying to challenge Timmy because of his height, but soon resolving that Timmy won't fight him. He finds Timmy to be pretty and sweet, a princess in his eyes. (even if that princess seems to be more of a boy) He sees Izzy as a maiden in need of help and is making it his mission to help her bag baxter and get them to live happily ever after. He personally thinks Izzy could do better, but alas, who is he to go against his friend. Those are my HC! Credits for characters Izzy Atyra - Izzy and Ranran-woo - Timmy.
blythe would SO admire izzy! idk why, but ever since i saw izzy, she gave me big sister energy a lot LMAO. she'd think izzy looked cool and stuff (especially in step 1 where they're all kids), even though izzy is shorter... and i think she'd get along well with dominic! their personalities seem similar to me, and it'd be so chaotic if they interact lmao 😭😭 he'd remind her of her own younger (cousin) brothers too LMAO
and also PEAKmelia peakamy wood (PEAKstar137's mc) is who jaehwa would especially admire too! personality and reputation is another thing, but if jaehwa sees that someone is smart, hard-working, and ambitious? she will DEFINITELY like that person. and amelia is sort of like a role model (ish) to her too lol. i dont think she'd try talking with her a lot but everytime jaehwa sees her, she'd uncharacteristically be like "oh hey look it's amelia"
OMG I haven’t seen your oc? I scrolled down to find it but I would love to meet them, they already sound awesome!
Izzy would definitely be good friends with Blythe. She thinks that Blythe is a very sweet and loveable girl. I can see them hanging out and have girls talk and stuff.
Dominic is someone that Izzy think has a very big heart. His sense of justice and how he helps others are very admireable. I can see that they would definitely be friends that help each other.
Timothy is someone that Izzy is comfortable with. They would joke around together sometimes. She think that it's hilarious how he is still so expressive even when he doesn't talk much lol.
I headcanon step 1! Timmy started doing charades game out of nowhere and Izzy has to guess what he's trying to say lol! He always messes playfully with everyone
I love that sm..
I'm gonna focus more on Step 2! Timothy hehe.
By then, Timothy does speak often growing out of his non-verbal childhood. So MCs may start to learn about him more but all in all, he's still the same Timmy :D
Izzy (Izzy Atyra) is the one of MCs he would be looking for if he wasn't hanging out with Tam or Qiu at school. Like Izzy said, they do actually joke around! But when being a preteen, Timothy was really worried if he should lessen his rowdy energy around Izzy and hasn't expressed to her yet. He cares Izzy a lot as much as everyone else (and so he tries to mention Izzy whenever he talks to Baxter - "Oh man, I totally miss Izzy, don't you Baxxy? >:3c")
Dominic (PlayingDomioes) is part of Step 1! Timmy's 'da booois' friend group. So Timothy doesn't hesitate to be a rascal around Dominic. He acts like a damsel in distress, especially in step 2 when his small problems annoy Timothy, "Sir Knight, Qiu Lin is bullying me </3" He couldn't help but lightly poke fun on Dom but he also cares for him too.
Rovi (Zein) is one of the MCs he relates to a lot, both of them are worried if Golden Grove is the right choice for them. But he didn't want to drop all his anxieties to Rovi and only shares sentiment to one another. So when he feels homesick, sometimes, he goes to Rovi for emotional support and just share stories about their old homes. Otherwise, he still treats Rovi like a close friend (which is everyone else but he digress, he loves to gets to know with every MCs).
Mykae (cheapcoconutjam) is another friend he likes to chill a lot like Izzy except they formed 'Tamarack Fan Club' group to appreciate our angel princess Tamarack Baumann. Most of the time they're good friends who hang out with the other MCs to have some fun or chill together with Timothy being the yapper the most.
Now I can't fit every MCs here :,( so I decide to write special interactions ✨
MCs with Cranberry Hair/Eyes = Timothy sees them as his siblings right away. Step 1! Timothy acts like the youngest or middle child but Step 2! Timothy becomes like the eldest, he looks after your MC with care but doesn't hold back treating MC like his sibling (ruffles their hair or carrying them off the floor or possibly wrestle for some MCs)
MCs who plays instruments = Timothy offers to do some garage band performances despite being part of his own band already. If the instrument is not part of rock category, he would like to be invited to watch them perform! Otherwise, as long as he play his bass with other MCs who can play their own instruments, he's willing to perform together. (Just don't ask about his singing, he reaally gets shy).
MCs who likes to style their clothes or aims to be part of fashion industry = Timothy really hesitates to ask your MC for their advice, so he tried to act casual about it like "I don't really care about the colors I wear....but how do I look in this?" MCs' clothes would really catch his eye in the school's hallway and gets him distracted, he gets inspired by the style. Also, you *have* to ask Timothy to be a model. Qiu and Tam think Timothy's ego rises a lot whenever he's asked to model for photoshoots, and now for styling clothes? Timothy can't say no to that!
This is VERY long i'm so sorry </3 Timothy thinks all of the MCs are his friends >:(
WELL, TELL HIM HE'S RIGHT 😋😋 blythe LOVES being friends with timmy too!!!
I wanted to post a Timothy doodle here but I wasn't allowed to :,( but he's very happy to hear that with a 'yipeee!!'
fashion-lover mcs mentioned.....? SHYSTEL NEEDS TO SEE THIS, I SUMMON THEE.
I hc that Dom tries to carry Timmy but Dom is very short and Timmy is quite tall so it just looks goofy in my head.
Yes!!! Don't let their heights stop Dom lol! They have such boundless of energy to fool around hehe
