It's a lovely game!! I love itt tho it is still a demo and I'm a bit disappointed, I wanted a full game play for free like our life begining and always, your games never failed to make me tear up seriously 💓
ol2ers !! might start a qotd thing if anyones interested hmmm,, but !! im curious about your mcs so infodump about them in the comments !! any particular backstory they have? what're they like? what changes do they go through from step 1 to 2? i am soooo interested !!
He's rlly quiet, has heterochromia (one yellow and one gold eye). and brown hair !!! he currently liked Qui the most, but him and Tamarak r still rlly close ! He didn't get along with alot of ppl in his old town bcuz they all thought he was like that one rlly scary quiet kid (the struggles of an rbf sigh) so yah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all i remember rn......... !!!!!!!!!!
ths is clover in step one. he is extroverted around his friends but shy around strangers, he has a good relationship with his mother but they do argue sometimes, he has a huge crush on qiu. he has polish heritage and the thought of never having a father makes him sad. step 2 Clover is extroverted all the time but he does have a few insecurities for example his birthmark, he grew his hair out in step 2 to cover his birthmark, unlike tamarack he isnt insecure about hi braces. during the time gap between step 1 and 2, clover has been questining himself, and when he turned 14 he came out as nonbinary.his relationship with his mother isnt as good as it was in step 1, they argue a lot more. he still has a crush on qiu, clover was part of the boy's club until step 2, he is still friends with darren and baxter, tho he rearly meets up with them anymore.
he looks so cute ohhhh :0 love his little lore tidbits, I could NOT be mean to opal though even if I tried, you're stronger than I am 😭 my mc also struggles with the lack of a father in their life n honestly I am curious to see how ol2 deals with that... maybe it'll help with players' unresolved daddy issues /j
Lion was a nickname people used to mock him but Leon didn't know that so he continued encouraging people to use that nickname of him.
Leon is a very extroverted kid, he always loves hanging out with random people but after an incident he stopped talking to people and occasionally has panic attacks, he also wants to find out about his father and maybe live with him. He is attracted to Autumn (Qiu) and feels that Tamarack is a good friend- After four years, Autumn becomes distant to everyone and Leon finds it hard to talk to him them; But he and Tamarack have grown to be Best friends.
Opal and him used to be really close and no one could separate them but after a while as Leon grew he started having difficulties and stopped talking with his mother as she didn't help him with his panic attacks, he feels as if his mother doesn't acknowledge his mental illnesses and is victim blaming- he still loves her and would love to rebuilt their relationship if he could.
Leon had questioned his sexuality from childhood and after having several panic attacks and getting frustrated for not knowing his sexuality he finally comes out as 'Bisexual' in Step 2, but he never said that to anybody except his best friend, Tamarack.
Leon saw Qiu as crushes in step 1 but then it turned to 'DO I LIKE HIM OR NOT?!' this was because of Qiu's overgrowing rudeness and distance in their friendship, Leon truly misses 10 year old Qiu, But somehow even if he finds Qiu 'Rude' he still finds himself falling in love all over again just like in Step 1. In summary he find's Qiu as 'Annoying but I love them.'

Leon Maerkins [Step 2]
(will draw him in step 2 after the update this nov) !! <3
for those who still don't know, the update that's gonna be on mid or late November includes the proper transition of step 1 to step 2 and introduction scenes of opal, qiu, and tamarack in step 2!! as stated in the month beginning post on patreon!! :DD
Gotta say I was a little surprised that holding Tamarack's hand in the step 2 preview didnt prompt a callback to the moment in Walks with the cashew bag.
Man, I really hope we can help bring out more of Tamarac's happy adventurousness. I wonder what changed her!
Also, really funny thing. Without knowing about how she changed between steps, I decided my mc would go from super shy to confidant and outgoing thanks to her, so it ended up they swapped places!
gb patch my beloved... you will always be famous. so glad I came across ol2 this autumn, and i can't wait to see it grow into something undoubtedly wonderful <3
Not many, I think, haha. But I'm the writer and only program in visuals/audio files. Shawna is our lead programmer who does the complicated systems and they're very good at what they do.
To be honest I feel like this game has ruined all other visual novels for me. This was the second visual novel I played, and now nothing can match the peak that is this game.
Also this game does help me deal with my depression, so thank you gbpatch for producing the wonder of a game.
I also feel this way aswell my heart goes doki doki remembering the time. Genuinely makes me feel loved and vulnerable as a guy who bottles up emotions.
Calling it now, eventually this one'll be a DLC romance option. I have seen NOTHING but this image but oml look at that character design. I love the wild, manic energy he gives off.
He's Nicolás from beginnings and always, from the previous game that is already finished so... probably not, tho, chances may be extremely low, but never zero
GBPATCH! RELEASE THE NEW UPDATE, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!
okay all jokes aside, I AM SO EXCITEDDD. I do not mind at all even if the update's gonna be coming late nov, just thinking that the update is coming THIS MONTH is so exhilarating to me
Alright guys, I just checked the gb-patch tumblr. It's most likely coming on late November. The early-november anticipation we had only applied to patreon members apparently haahah.
In their most recent post (posted today at 2am), it says "a second beta came out for Patreon supporters this month!"
So,,, I think we gotta pack up our camps here guys! Hopefully we'll all be reunited once again by the end of this month or mid-november (however optimistic you wish to be).
Yeah, I'm sorry. The demo build is still in-progress. We're fixing errors, making edits, and adding sound effects after beta feedback. It won't be ready for two or three weeks.
OMG!! thank you so much for your hardwork!!! no need for sorries, seeing two or three weeks is actually a godsend!!! i cant wait!!! ill definitely play it after my mocks during november,,, hopefully it brings me comfort.. :")
oh i made the mc to look like me,,, which is pretty boring ngl hahahhahah,,,, hbu? (i really considered green hair since they're my favourite colour, but erk. i really should've liked purple or something instead)
Shut up you look genuinely adorable!!! The colour scheme is so sweet as well. I think I might just steal the your flower crown idea, it should be able to spice up mine!
Ayway, I think the update is not coming any time soon... (not today at least haha)
For mine, I tried to make her look exactly like me when I was 10, to make the whole situation look pretty realistic LOL. I would love to make my own OC here, though they're too complex to make hehe.. I just took a common last name for her lmao
she's so cutie!!! don't worry about ocs being too complex either LMAO i think a lot of people who make completely different ocs other than sonas do it pretty often ^^;
It's not even night for me, but i feel sleepy but i don't wanna sleep because I'm excited 💔💔 I WANT THIS UPDATE NWOWOWO!!! (not rushing or anything, idem if it comes out 1 week later😢🙏)
I think i missed something...is a new update or something coming out now ? Its 5 am for me and nothing happened yet,but i do see the comment section being quite active 😅
Edit: I made an account on itch just to write that comment for this game by the way xD
Well November is just around the corner... and it made me wonder what will become of everyone when the game is complete, will they ever come back? In that case I will miss you all but for now let's enjoy what's coming
ps: excuse my inactivity, I'm busy with exams! I love you all! baaay
Lol I tried to download the demo on android and it was going well until both of them were introduced. It's just a demo and it's on phone so I was excusing the characters missing a face, missing half their body or even just a face, but then when I met Tamarack, the entire thing just stared blinking!! I couldn't continue because everything was appearing and disappearing. So, so far playing the demo on android isnt something I can do yet hahaha!!
Hello, I know the game is still in development. However, I was wondering if there will be any customizations or stuff related to the deaf, autism, or other disabled populations. I understand if GBPatch can't do those customizations if they are busy or can't. The game is still amazing, and I would love to play more of it.
No, I'm sorry. We can't diagnose MCs with those kinds of conditions. It'd be extremely difficult to write accurate portrayals of every possible expression of autism someone can have since this is a fully customizable game and not a story with a pre-set main character. The same goes with other conditions people live with. Plus, it'd be unfair to just add one type or two types of disabilities, but if we tried to include a wide range, it'd simply be impossible to finish this project. So, that won't be added at any point.
Hi, this might be far too early into the game's development to ask and sorry if this has already been answered, but will it be possible to have Darren or Baxter as a LI? This game is amazing and if this is a no at the moment, that's great! I love this game, keep up the good work!
Gbpatch said there wouldn't be enough time for that (i think) cause they have deadline if it's not that then i'm not really sure but the answer would still be no i think.
There won't be other LI DLCs, sadly. The game is gonna be so large with the Qiu and Tam content, I can't get myself to do even more for this game, aha. It's already gonna be longer than the first OL including the DLCs for other leads in that game.

Yww
gb patch my beloved... you will always be famous. so glad I came across ol2 this autumn, and i can't wait to see it grow into something undoubtedly wonderful <3
GB as A fellow Programmer.....be honest here how many "if" Strings did you use?
I'm curious. So i'm replying to get a noti :3 (no pressure)
Not many, I think, haha. But I'm the writer and only program in visuals/audio files. Shawna is our lead programmer who does the complicated systems and they're very good at what they do.
I can Tell ! You bunch are really Talented at what you do
It is literally 6:28am has it updated yet I can't sleep anymore I need this game 😭 😭!!!!!!
You're so real.
Same!!! it's the first day of my period and school is starting soon,,, i'm so depressed and I NEED SEROTONIN!!!
I'm sorry, it isn't updating today. It'll be mid to late November!
To be honest I feel like this game has ruined all other visual novels for me. This was the second visual novel I played, and now nothing can match the peak that is this game.
Also this game does help me deal with my depression, so thank you gbpatch for producing the wonder of a game.
I also feel this way aswell my heart goes doki doki remembering the time. Genuinely makes me feel loved and vulnerable as a guy who bottles up emotions.
Guess who's back!
4 Hours of sleep is peak timing
OMG, SAME, BUT I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL😭
I dare everyone to tell me, with a straight face, that he's not going to kill you on your sleep. Just try.
(I'm running insane help I need update NOW.)
*Insert Megalo Strike Back in the Background*
Calling it now, eventually this one'll be a DLC romance option. I have seen NOTHING but this image but oml look at that character design. I love the wild, manic energy he gives off.
He's Nicolás from beginnings and always, from the previous game that is already finished so... probably not, tho, chances may be extremely low, but never zero
Wait!? In which step does he appears (or is he in the DLCs) because I don't remember seeing him when I played ol1 :0
He's from derel dlc
GBPATCH! RELEASE THE NEW UPDATE, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

OMG!! thank you so much for your hardwork!!! no need for sorries, seeing two or three weeks is actually a godsend!!! i cant wait!!! ill definitely play it after my mocks during november,,, hopefully it brings me comfort.. :")
so... while we're waiting for the update, how about we do something fun to pass the time? maybe something like showing what we made the MC look like?
oh i made the mc to look like me,,, which is pretty boring ngl hahahhahah,,,, hbu? (i really considered green hair since they're my favourite colour, but erk. i really should've liked purple or something instead)
i made the mc look nothing like me, actualy made it after my OC
Shut up you look genuinely adorable!!! The colour scheme is so sweet as well. I think I might just steal the your flower crown idea, it should be able to spice up mine!
Ayway, I think the update is not coming any time soon... (not today at least haha)
I present to you: Maxinne
(I think you can see I'm not good with names)
I might be a bit late, but i wanted to show mine off! He's an oc of mine :3
