It's an amazing game. I find the story very good. Qiu and Tamarack are very good characters, and I find anazing how they develope during the second step (the preview we had at least) and I expect to see more of them. I can't wait for the game to be complete!
"Hi! I wonder if at some point we'll have a special appearance by Cove Holden with the former MC (him or her), or Baxter with his partner—that is, the main character from the previous game? I would love to see that. Best regards, I love this game!"
definitely the one game that needs its credit frfr no other game slaps harder than this one and beginning & always please keep it coming GB would love another update been playing the demo for at least 20 times plus more already it really gets that dopamine going ohhh and the customizing love it the difference really means something if you ever felt like it matters play this games
Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I posted anything here since I was so busy so have this art that I made. I've been getting back into anime lately and so i was inspired to make an anime like end credit art for OLNF. I'm not good with background so I just used some free grass background asset lol. It turned out quite well and I'm happy with the end result.
Hello! Unfortunately, if it is a region-based problem, there isn't anything we can do to help. We are sorry about that, but appreciate your interest in our game anyway.
— dont you just love when true love finds itself in friends? there is something so undeniably precious about being loved by someone who knew you then, who knows you now, and who will come to know you again in the future.
is this game going to be a unique one or is there also going to be content for DLC? in that case, to wait longer, until the game is over and buy the DLC
Sorry if I've misunderstood your question, but yes the game will have DLC Moments that will be released along with the main Steps. You can refer to our roadmap to get our full release schedule:
I'm literally in love! This game is so cute and wonderful! The character-creater, storyline, characters — it's all just perfect! Hope to see more updates in the future, this really my favourite game now!
Hey everyone, how are you all! I haven't had the chance to check in since my birthday was 3 days ago and my brothers is in 2 days. I was hoping to check in on everyone and new updates to their charcater, I haven't had the chance to check in!
Holy sheesh yes what the hellie, but thanks for telling me they have the habit of doing that. Still gonna save it though cause that ai is good other than the hand
What an incredible game. The writing's a little slow in parts, but there's a warmth and purpose to almost everything - Tamarak and I throwing snacks down to the boys on the bridge felt like the kind of little moment *I* remember from my own childhood.
It's easy for this sort of game to fall into shallow nostalgia pandering, but instead the game feels like a gentle prodding for the player to reflect on their own life.
Not to get too personal, but I recently had a major medical event, and this game has sincerely helped me make peace with it, reflect on my relationships with the people around me.
I also very much enjoyed how the option to come out after step 1 was handled. I was expecting just a 'yay, youre girl now,' but instead the characters had varying reactions to it - largely positive ones, but still - cracked jokes, and you were allowed to choose who to tell and why, which affected how they referred to you. It felt positive but still natural, which I appreciated.
You can see the seams of the choices a little on replay, but that's to be expected with a game this large. Excited to see it fully completed!
Ah how i wish i could draw as well as some people in this comment section, but i suppose this is why i have enlisted one of my friends to teach me how to draw, its just sad how we haven't had time to continue our drawing lesson, it's always so fun lurking around and seeing everyone's ocs and their renditions of them, I hope to be able to share my own ocs with you guys soon too so I can be apart of the fun you guys are having 😊
Can't wait to enjoy the full game with all of you 💕
Seen a bunch of people here making different mcs and I thought it was cool and took a shot at it. I might make those relationship charts and maybe even draw him?? idk
I'm not going to play the demo because I'd prefer to play the whole thing together. But goodness I'm excited, I played the first one, and have replayed it so many times; this one seems to have many more options (and I get TWO love interests), more customization for your gender (something very important to me as a nonbinary-woman), and the art is so stylized I love it. Can't wait for the full game, but I will.
thank you! I work 3rd shifts so while the world is sleeping (and there's literally nothing for me to do outside of the cause everything is closed) I'm drawing basically the entire time! I'm working on a drawing rn actually. all three of them during step 1. I thought it would be really cute to draw them fast asleep in Aurelia's bedroom in a fort made of blankets. they let all their energy out and ended up passing out. probably going to do a second post of like a group chat of the parents/guardians where Opal found them like that, took a picture and sent it to the others. I think that would be really cut
Guys did you know I have many more MCs? Yes, I have many more that I didn't mention so here is one of them!
So, Isabella here is a very timid, nervous and shy girl that she doesn't have any confidence in speaking in front of many people (like introducing herself in class). But she is seen always writing on her notebook that she always has and yep, she is a talented writer in her age.
She writes stories in her notebook that she doesn't show her stories nor tell them to anyone except Qiu and Tamarack whom she trusts very much
She is also a huge fan in classic fairytale stories and poems by Willam Shakespeare.
Now, in Step 2 she hasn't changed much but she isn't that scared anymore in talking in front of many people (well not fully only just a bit)
She is still the talented writer but improved, she decided to focus on writing fantasy stories and poems in her new notebook, and she is still a huge fan in Willam Shakespear's works.
She has been constantly teased by a lot of classmates; she didn't really like that of course sense the teasing is hurting her feelings.
(Also guys I'm about to have my exams, so wish me luck! or maybe not)
hey Yall!! it’s my first time playing, but let me say I cannot WAIT for the full version!! Love the character customization, the inclusion, everything really!!
I've loved this game even just in demo) for months, and i didnt even know about these little spreadsheets! you've inspired me to draw just a bit again so i can do my oc too :3
Hi guys, it's been a while hasn't it? I'd actually be surprised if anyone from *back in my days* of this page was here when v1.4.0 was the latest one and the "last updated" counted 61 days... Man, how time flies by doesn't it? I joined this fandom as a sophomore and I'm now a college freshman. If anyone wonders how this page was a long time ago, you're welcome to visit past times from my profile I've basically just posted things regarding gb patch so it won't be hard
With this said and focusing on the people from the before times, we had a good run but I don't think I'll be posting anything else even if the game updates,for it is (at least for me) time to pass the torch down to the youngsters.
im so obsessed with this game, I can't wait for the full thing to be released! Anyways meet Aurelia, my OC's first step character sheet. who will later be introduced As Auri (they/them) in step 2 and Arden (he/him) in Step 3
Guys I was really bored so I decided to draw my MC's (aka Sasha) grandmother!
Meet Persephone! Sasha's grandmother, Persephone is a gentle, kind and welcoming old lady who loves to knit and bake cookies. She loves Sasha her granddaughter very much. She is 78 years old (Yep, she's really that old) who would send letters to Sasha sense Opal and her moved in Golden Grove. She isn't really good in phones and other tech stuff, so she decided to write letters instead. She loves Sasha deeply that she would knit a scarf for her.
Thank you❤️❤️! You definitely can do it! I'm also still just a beginner but trying a whole bunch of stuff definitely helps to improve my art. Start small with simple step first. Maybe try using colour pencils to colour a simple sketch?
I love how you did the stained glass texture, how did you do it?! And the colors are so muah <3 I inspire to color the way you did their hair because it's so aesthetic <33
Hehe thanks<3! I saw this nice glass texture in ibispaint and decided to make an art with it. Making Tamarack the daylight while Qiu is the nighttime is definitely the best choice. The colour contrast very well and definitely adds to the whole two sides of the same coin motif<3
Guys before I'm gonna be really busy with school for tomorrow, here is Sasha my mc in Step 3 sense idk what to draw so I decided this :)
At this age Sasha is a hime gyaru and her relationship with Qiu? well it's still the same they aren't dating yet, but she is in the denial stage I guess?? She dates A LOT of guys to find her true love but most of them are awkward in their dates so I guess you could say she is in her dating era or a hopeless romantic era. She really tries to find someone she connects with, maybe you could say she uses the tinder dating app.
Her personality still is the same, energetic, cheerful and very girly.
Here is a fun fact!! I based Qiu's unrequited love for Sasha "From the start" by Laufey I mean I love the song honestly
And don't worry probably soon Sasha will realize she them!
One day i was bored and decided to create a twin for tamarack, since... why not?
his name is hackmatack, and is very much a trouble maker, also qiu route. Though I imagine most people call him hacky, hack or hacks since its not a very good name (except Tamarack) he didnt have a good relationship with his parents, considering they were barely around in the first place. Also qiu route
I like his name! <3 Rolls off the tongue very well and I love the Baumann twins causing chaos lol :D What does Hacks think about Qiu, even when his twin doesn't get along with Qiu? 👀
Thanks!!! Hackmatack was in awe when he first saw Qiu, they were just so pretty to him. For a bit he was shy, but quickly got used to Qiu and their antics! He thinks theyre a wonderful person, though dotes on them due to their forgetful nature. He also finds Qiu and Tamaracks rivalry funny.
Hi hi! It's been a whilee~ this one is not really big but I wanted to update to see how step 2 Timothy looks like in-game hahaI realized he's still a baby </3 sweet boy. He's a bit taller thanks to his elevated boots but still an inch taller than average. And by comparison, this is how he looked in step 1 (oh god).
I made him TOO tall oops, I didn't know Qiu from step 1 was actually tall before I found out. Anyways that's all :D
This is what I have in my drafts...."Timothy (10 yrs old) 5 feet - 152 cm and Timothy (14 yrs old) is 5 feet 7 inches - 170 cm" 👉👈 I'm not well verse with humans apparently, I hope that looks alright?? :,)
Tammy in the forest<3. I had quite the artblock and decided to draw on paper because of it. It turned out quite well and Tammy looked cute so it's all good.

Okay, thank you! :)
Me siento excluido 😭 como es que no me ha tocado tener a un Qiu pelón 😔
JAJAJA REAAL a mi tampoco
BAXTER WARD??? I might have a type, AND also seeing that we can do poly made me greedy.. hehe
I'm literally in love! This game is so cute and wonderful! The character-creater, storyline, characters — it's all just perfect! Hope to see more updates in the future, this really my favourite game now!
Hey everyone, how are you all! I haven't had the chance to check in since my birthday was 3 days ago and my brothers is in 2 days. I was hoping to check in on everyone and new updates to their charcater, I haven't had the chance to check in!
in the nicest way possible your friend probably used ai, look at the hand
Holy sheesh yes what the hellie, but thanks for telling me they have the habit of doing that. Still gonna save it though cause that ai is good other than the hand
happy belated birthday person I don't know lol and happy early birthday to you brother!! Your character is super pretty btw!!
guys i made the trio in tomodachi life do u think they look like or not (ignore the quality) i didn't used any face paint
OH MY GOD THATS SO CUTEEE. yeah you captured their features
games where the characters grow up together always make me sad at the end gotta prepare myself mentally lol

Quando vi que tinha para mobile quase tive um treco!!
TÔ MUITO ANSIOSO!!!
hey Yall!!
it’s my first time playing, but let me say I cannot WAIT for the full version!! Love the character customization, the inclusion, everything really!!
Anyhow, here’s jayesh! :3
I've loved this game even just in demo) for months, and i didnt even know about these little spreadsheets! you've inspired me to draw just a bit again so i can do my oc too :3
just finished step 1, and WOW! this was so adorable and sweet and mesmerizing and heartwarming and... you get the point.
i really love how impactful the choices you make are and i also absolutely adore the art. the character customization was also very pleasing!
i can't wait for the full release <3 <3 <3

14 year old sasha is so cute!
Stained glass art featuring Qiu and Tamarack. It took awhile to finish but it was worth it with how good it turned out in the end<3
It looks so good! I really wish I could color instead of my drawings just being sketches :')
Thank you❤️❤️! You definitely can do it! I'm also still just a beginner but trying a whole bunch of stuff definitely helps to improve my art. Start small with simple step first. Maybe try using colour pencils to colour a simple sketch?
I love the colors, it looks so cool :D
Thank you<3! If I was capable I would have probably tried making this stained glass IRL to increase the coolness factor lol
I love how you did the stained glass texture, how did you do it?! And the colors are so muah <3 I inspire to color the way you did their hair because it's so aesthetic <33
Hehe thanks<3! I saw this nice glass texture in ibispaint and decided to make an art with it. Making Tamarack the daylight while Qiu is the nighttime is definitely the best choice. The colour contrast very well and definitely adds to the whole two sides of the same coin motif<3
That's a genius idea on the contrast :0 love it!
OMG I LOVE THIS SM! pls let me know when it's updated 🤧
