I need more >_< I know when this comes out fully and is finished it's going to be one of my favorite games. I love how customizable it is and how cozy it feels. I also love the nonbinary/trans options. Definitely going to be a comfort game of mine.
This is so cute I love this game I hope it stays free tho cuz I'm broke, I also love that you really have a choice and you get to be you altogether a really good game
Using some math and looking at when the Step 3 Qiu and Tamerak to the step 3 Qiu and Tamarack, it will be 288 days until this game is fully released (around it tho, they might have already done step 3 or smth or just not even done it yet.)
(after careful consideration, i have figured it out)
I'm sorry, we're showing those desgins to promote the entire game experience, since the story is more than one time period. But sharing those details isn't a marker of how far the actual writing/programming has come. We're still just working on Step 1, aha.
i made an acc j to say how much i love this, cant wait for the full game! the characters, the artstyle and the music go well together. im so happy i discovered this gem <3
I've been waiting for this game for so long, Hopefully the demo comes out on December the 25th as it would be like Christmas present to everyone who loves it :D
Still waiting for it, Been playing the original our life, In all ways this game is kind of better, with the scenes and backstory and how it all fits together :D
This is my most hyped IF/VN game. I can't wait to play it whenever it is ready. The amount of choices that can change the personality are so damn good. Too bad we will have to wait a while. But dont worry good dev. We will be here to support you and wait for it.
thank you so much for your hard work, GBPatch!! i've never been this excited for a full release since OL1, this has been my new hyperfixation for some time now XD
I really love this game, and I has wondering if there would be options to have things like hearing aids or prosthetics. I'm looking forward to the release of the game.
hey, i really want to play the game but it crashes when i go to the next page of the tutorial. does anyone know how to fix it? btw i use the 32 bit version
I didn't believe in love at first sight until playing this demo.
Okay, grandiose statements aside, this is was the most fun I've had playing a demo in a while!! I came fresh of binging Our Life 1 this week, and took a breather before Derek's route. Said breather did not give me time to intake air because this game took my breath away!
Customizing the MC is always fun! I nearly teared up at having multiple pronouns as well as the frequency of them. It made me incredibly happy to see "he" and "they" being interchanged often. The little doll makers so cute too. I admire yall's effort in all the little details!
Speaking of, I love everyone's little icons! The UI is just so charming and cute!! The character sprites are also so adorable! I loved Cove's side profile CGs and I'm happy to see more!
The music always slapped but aaa I really loved the piano and the strings here! "Qiu" and "Smooth" were my favorite tracks so far.
The writing is also so cool! I love the descriptions of nature and comparing the characters to such! And of course the leads are such cuties! Qiu is so charming and Tamarack is a delight, I can't wait to see more of them! [Spoilers I guess?] But Darren is so endearing, and Baby Baxter's so damn funny ashfkfk I'm excited to meet the rest!
I really love the subversions from OL1. From MC being (one of) the latest newcomers, an LI being the local, the charming school setting... it's something exciting and entirely new while keeping the spirit of the first game.
All in all, thank you guys for your hard work! I am very excited for this!
Oh man I'm so excited for this game!!! I'm so grateful for the nonbinary inclusion and representation in your games. It was amazing being able to play as a nonbinary MC in OL1, especially since we could really talk about it and express ourselves in a way I haven't seen in any other games. So I'm super excited to see a gender fluid love interest in this game and am looking forward to being able to witness parts of their journey!!!(Don't get me wrong I love Tamarack too! But Qiu just makes me feel so validated :')) OL1 was pure comfort to me and it seems like OL2 will be the same if not more. Thank you so much for the lovely game and I'm looking forward to playing the full version<333
I don't now how but this game is even better than the first one, which I really liked. The new art style feels warm and nice, the UI is a big improvement and the fact that the story isn't interrupted with a moments screen and flows uninterrupted and naturally is my favourite change! While I didn't mind the "moment" scenes being separated in the previous one having it joined into the story and just going thru it feels so much more natural :D (If that isn't the case and the demo just didn't get to that point then thats fine tho)
I'm looking forward to this when it is completed with more customisation options, dynamic choices, the possibility of getting into a relationship with both characters and everything else that may be coming in ^-^
I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far, though I'm afraid we haven't changed the format of the series. The demo only shows the prologue which does set things up in a particular way so you get to know all the characters, but after that the bulk of the Steps will be separate Moments. I think that's a unique and important part of OL games because it really lets you create your own experience rather than going through a creation of someone else.
That actually made me wonder: are the moments going to be per-character like the DLC's in OL1 or are all moments going to have options for both love interests?
The Moments won't be separated by character. Both will show up in the Moments, though there will be times when you can go off and do things with just one. I wouldn't want someone to have to skip entire Moments because it only includes a lead they're not interested in and having to double the amount of DLCs people needed to buy isn't something I want to do. They're not going to have one single DLC like Derek and Baxter do as separate side story routes, they're like Cove and will have DLCs for all three of the main Steps. Six DLC purchases would be needed to get all of the Moments if they were separate. So instead, just like the first game, there will be 5 free Moments in Steps 1-3 and additional 5 that can be added to each through a DLC for a total of 30, plus a Step 4 epilogue with no Moments.
So far I love this. A lot more than the first one, and that's not to say ol1 is bad, but I went through an experience similar to the ol2 protag when I was ten so the nostalgia just hits so much more here.
The art and writing is so beautiful and I'm so excited to see the finished product, however long it takes. I think this game will turn out equally if not more amazing than the first and I'm so happy there's a female LI in this one so I can get more people I know into it.
It might be a problem with Itch.io going through an issue right now, or your internet connection not being strong enough, or maybe a virus scanner/firewall is blocking the download. Sadly, I can only fix problems in the file itself. If it simply won't download, the problem is with the host site, connection, or device settings. I'm sorry for that, and I hope you can figure out what's going on!

Excellent I get to be the moody kid who moves in this time >:)
Yeah. This time I wont be shy. I will be direct, a bit rude and always wanting to spend time with Qiu. Dont get in my way cute Tamarack. 🙂
Was the update suppose to end at the classroom scene?
I've honestly never been more excited than this at waiting for a demo, I opened this page everyday before I went to sleep XD
For me i refresh it when im going to sleep, when i wake up, and after i do stuff
Me too lol, whenever I'm on my phone, first thing I do was open itch Io💀💀
Can publish Chinese translations?
I've been waiting for this game for so long, Hopefully the demo comes out on December the 25th as it would be like Christmas present to everyone who loves it :D
yess that would make us all happy!
im sorry but isnt there already a demo i might just be slow? or maybe its a fact that i havent been following how the game is going for a bit
i believe the demo is getting expanded!! (which is most likely what they're talking bout)
It is! So far the plan seems to be sometime this month.
Still waiting for it, Been playing the original our life, In all ways this game is kind of better, with the scenes and backstory and how it all fits together :D
oh that makes sense i seem to understand no
Its being expanded, i think to all of the first step or something,
It's definitely not all of the first step lol, I don't even think it's the entire prologue of step 1
This is my most hyped IF/VN game. I can't wait to play it whenever it is ready. The amount of choices that can change the personality are so damn good. Too bad we will have to wait a while. But dont worry good dev. We will be here to support you and wait for it.
It can't be that I'm excited for a demo update, ausjawo I already want to see the new scenes and everything 😭
I really loved it´s just so fricking cuteee!!!!!
Man i can't wait for a full release but by the time it comes out call of duty will be releasing warzone 4 or something

THIS GAME IS JUST SO-
JIEFSHBFCHBSGGTB
I love this!! <3
I keep playing the demo, even though it just leaves me wanting more. Can't wait for the full release, this one's looking really good so far!
thank you so much for your hard work, GBPatch!! i've never been this excited for a full release since OL1, this has been my new hyperfixation for some time now XD
I love the demo!! I can't wait for the full game to be released

I honestly think that would be so cool.

It's so good!! Amazing art and writing, and the freedom is great! Does anyone happen to know who the artist is?

All in all, thank you guys for your hard work! I am very excited for this!
Ehmm.. guys i just read this... Is it true?
No, it's not I'm afraid. Instead, a ton more OL1 content came out these past couple years and OL2 doesn't even have the prologue finished yet, aha.
Oh man I'm so excited for this game!!! I'm so grateful for the nonbinary inclusion and representation in your games.

This is happening to me too :(
