Btw, my character is called Jay, they go by he, they, she pronouns. She identifies as genderfluid and doesn't care about what pronouns you use for them, but they do have a ranking of the three pronouns he uses (1st- they, 2nd-he, 3rd-she), they are also trans. He has dyed blond hair. She is kind and outgoing, but has difficulty with crowds and dealing with noises. He loves music, writing, acting and singing. They are bad at math and more sciencesy subjects. Jay is my self-insert OC, they are what I'm hoping to become.
(Also please forgive my lack of shading, I'm not really an artist and I did this on my phone with me finger lol)
I need to run this game as Administrator on windows, otherwise it crashes immediately.
Also, it's amazing. The only 'problem' (which is very minor) is that sometimes there are dialogue that seems more directed at me, the player, than the character. For example, when selecting a drink at the diner- if I choose a milkshake, Mom says it'd be hypocritical to say no because of what they ordered. I don't think a ten year old would care or understand that, and telling me, the player, doesn't add anything and only takes me out of the moment.
Similarly, describing what characters are wearing when I can see them should just not be there.
Otherwise, amazing writing. I love the art style and I can't believe how much writing has been done that a lot of players will never see. This project just seeps of love, passion and a clear vision. I can't wait to play the rest!
I've actually just remember something... OL1 has a "and then summer ended" button, but on OL2 there's just the step 2 preview and I just saw a Reddit post of a bookstore... so maybe there's even more of step 1 we haven't seen !1!!1!1!?????!?tamarack picture for absolutely zero reason
H(BCUSHBCDSYUGCUIHXUYG HAIIIII MADE MY MC :D His name is Alexander but yous may call him Al (or Alex) pronouns; He/Him. Last name Wish because, been into CWYW… heh… yes he has Heterochromia. But we love him for that, so I present my cutie patootie <3
So, I just wanted to express my feelings on here. I am really waiting for the release of the game. I played the Our Life game, and I am going to be honest with you, I didn't like Cove at all, and talked to him only if I had to, meanwhile pursuing romantical relationships with Derek. Because of that I missed a lot of content, and I think I didn't get the best experience out of the game. However, when I started the demo of Our Life Now and Forever, I fell in love with it, since the atmosphere and the characters are resonating more with me than in the previous game from the same developers. Also, I would like to point out, how giving players the choice between two characters, Qiu and Tamarak, improves the experience from the game. I would like to persuade romantical relationships with Qiu, but I would also like to be friends with Tamarak, and I enjoy that I can do so in the game. And for last words, I would like to say thank you to GB Patch for making those games, and creating your own universe, starting from XOXO droplets, and continuing with another well-made game, Our Life Now and Forever.
i wanted to do this yesterday but i was feelin lazy but now im not so heres my new oc for the poly route (originally for the friends only route but it felt eh so yeh)
my lil adrogynous trans dude kel!!! i like to headcannon him as the 'charming but internally sweet gentle guy' lmaooo.. hes quite popular in school, more so then qiu ever since they closed off hehe
also him in step 1!!! he was a charmin gal who hated authority figures (but abided by the rules any ways to hide that) and despised her mother, and the constant moves made her quite pessimistic but she hid that all behind a slick exterior... except for ren, she hated ren with a burning passion
(sorry for the rant, i love this lil guy soooo much its not even that funny anymore... i love him more than my sona....)
Idk, I just wanted to participate in the cheapcoconutjam template collab since no one has done it yet. (Using my MC from step 2 because I like the way he looks in this step)
I remember someone saying that he was going to put his MC in the bottom, This one between my MC and the other one (if that's the one you're talking about)
I believe no need to, I'm pretty sure step 1 had only minor changes/updates , it's mainly step 2 that changed, which should (but not certain) be updated again this month
AAAAAA i love this game sosososo much!! I already know I cant choose between the two love interests TT but I have two hands so.. IM CHOOSING BOTH OF THEM!!
or more specifically, my oc Runie is choosing to hold both of their hands >:3 my precious partially non verbal child!!
In Step 1, kinda hyperactive and a forest boy like Tamarack, cannot be considered a very mature kid, but still likes to do boy things with the boys club... We didn't talk about him in step 3.
I wanna say this was the best game I have played in terms of getting hook to the characters and story. Everything about this was so cute with lot of relatable parts in it. We only on step one but I think I'm making self-discovery which surprised me for a game I initially got for the art, This game might be my therapy I can't wait for every update forward genuinely thank you
I saw someone on here do a step 1-3 explanation/prediction for their characters and I wanted to try my hand at it! I'll be using one of my characters: Nihao Kilan (it's based on a show I liked as a little kid).
this little sweetie^
In step one, she is a socially transitioned trans girl and is obsessed with all things anime, truly believing that she's a magical girl and someday, she'll get her powers. She loves art and crafts, cats, and accessories. She's a bit free-spirited but not mean. In this step, she's closer with Tamarack than Qiu because their basically two of the same cloth and match each other's energy.
In step two, she detransitions, dyes his hair, and prefers to be called "Zach". Zach soon becomes the most interesting person in Golden Grove. He didn't know how and he didn't really care. It wasn't like he looked for adventures, they came to him. His luck was near legendary and soon, it fed into his ego a little bit. Okay, a lot. He thinks he's better than everyone and he's the star of the show, everyone's just a background character. But he finds something he loves more than himself: business, and not just business: business and money. After a few business option classes, he dubbed himself a hustler. In this step, he completely unfriends Tamarack and instead becomes closer to Qiu, and they become "bros".
Zach^
In step three, Zach grows up and becomes more cocky and business-smart, letting the blue in his hair fade into its regular black. He's young, he's smug, and he doesn't care about your feelings because their is (almost) nothing you can say that could possibly hurt him back. He's that cool uncle that gives kids wads of cash to go crazy on. He's that one friend that has a beach house already there when the group goes on a group vacation. He's that pompous asshole at parties. He's the one and only Zack, and your at his service.
HOW COULD YOU and also, nice story not really sure if the final game will give you the tools to make it but really hope it does! Also again, HOW COULD YOU??¡?!!?!
No you were right, in this game its three years. In our life, I'm pretty sure mc and baxter are the same age, or a year older at most. But take whatever I say with a grain of salt!
Baxter is only three years older in OL:NF, you're right. He's less than a year older in OL:BA. But he turned 19 in May and Cove won't turn 19 until November, so Cove is 18 while Baxter is 19 during Step 3.

AAAAAA i love this game sosososo much!! I already know I cant choose between the two love interests TT but I have two hands so.. IM CHOOSING BOTH OF THEM!!

I love this game so much, but it sucks becaue I’m on my tablet and I can’t show y’all my character
imma be real, the only reason I play this game, is because the MC is so customizable..and the art. 😭...
and the characters, and the history, and the unique features-
Is this playable on web or need to download?
need to download
thankssss
I finally have drawings of what my MC will look like on each step! I may change some things over time.
oooh u like the art and oc! What they’re personality?
In Step 1, kinda hyperactive and a forest boy like Tamarack, cannot be considered a very mature kid, but still likes to do boy things with the boys club... We didn't talk about him in step 3.
it somehow reminds me of bnha artstyle- YOU DRAW SO GOOD OMG
GB PATCH, PLEASE GIVE US FOOD. 😭
your children are hungry🥺

I fall in love with this game at the first sight of it, wow
I wanna say this was the best game I have played in terms of getting hook to the characters and story. Everything about this was so cute with lot of relatable parts in it.

Same!
HOW COULD YOU and also, nice story not really sure if the final game will give you the tools to make it but really hope it does! Also again, HOW COULD YOU??¡?!!?!
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE 🫵 🫵....
A lover for wholesome games.
i am guilty... ✋😔✋
u caught me 😞
dang, you got me
*sweats in the hundreds of messed up games i played*
Haha i am guilty
and i am proud of it
erm actually the age gap is 6 years
No you were right, in this game its three years. In our life, I'm pretty sure mc and baxter are the same age, or a year older at most. But take whatever I say with a grain of salt!
Baxter is only three years older in OL:NF, you're right. He's less than a year older in OL:BA. But he turned 19 in May and Cove won't turn 19 until November, so Cove is 18 while Baxter is 19 during Step 3.
but in step 1 isnt he 16 while we're 10. that means theres a 6 year age gap??/ or am i just dumb??
Hold up a second....did you just say ....in November....me and Cove share a BD month ...like fr fr?
YOURE ALSO A NOVEMBER BABY???
Yup
No, he's 13. Devin Murray, Ren's older brother, is 16. Baxter is much younger than him.
ok, thanks for the correction
