Our Life: Now & Forever
Our Life Now & Forever: Our Life: N&F Polyamorous Relationship Feature Announcement!
So, I’ve changed my own mind! You will be able to end up in a relationship with both Qiu and Tamarack if you want to when Our Life: Now & Forever is fully released. I originally didn't guarantee a polyamorous relationship option because I didn’t know for sure if it'd be possible to add it without pushing the game back, however this story would simply feel incomplete without that. It was very obvious when writing the Step 2 preview for the soon-to-release demo update. Qiu, Tamarack, and the MC are as important as a group as they are in individual pairings. It has to be done. Besides, tons of choice and having relationships be whatever makes you most comfortable is why people wait years for GB Patch to finish these games in the first place, haha.
Now, the way the optional poly relationship will work is that Qiu and Tamarack would be in a committed platonic relationship with each other and can be in a committed platonic or romantic relationship with the MC. Qiu and Tamarack won’t be romantically involved with each other regardless of the choices the MC makes.
This relationship dynamic will only be available in Step 4: Adulthood. It won’t be something you can get together during the bulk of the story because Qiu and Tamarack do need time to sort things with each other over the years before taking that kind of step.
Nothing is going to change with our plans so far. Our Life: Now & Forever will have a Kickstarter that's launching less than two weeks. If everything goes well, the goal will be to release the first three Steps and most of the DLCs in late 2025. The Step 4 Epilogue with the poly relationship option and any bonus DLCs that get funded by the Kickstarter would come out later on.

I’ll be updating the game’s information to reflect this new element as a basic part of the project ✨.
Thank you to everyone who’s loved both Tamarack and Qiu already! I hope this will make the story that much happier to experience.

well, now to wait cuz i dont have money.
This is so amazing and I am incredibly happy as someone who's been poly for years now!! Thank you so so much team, genuinely. ;//;
best news about this game so far, and thats saying ALOT cause ive been obsessing over this game waiting for the full release. Cant wait to play the new demo expansion soon!
Will we be able to have both of them set to crushes in earlier Steps if the polyam route is only available Step 4? I'm gonna cry this is making me so happy
Yeah, you can be crushing on both from the start! You just can't have a relationship with both until Step 4.
Sorry I'm sort of confused, it says in the post that the poly relationship is only in step 4, but here you're saying it's in step 3.
That was a typo! Thanks for noticing it.
I AM LOSING MY MIND OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM
IWHXWH I CANT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD EXIST THANK YOUUUU

I'm SO HYPED for the full release of the game!!! I played the demo a long time ago and I fell in love with it. The story, the pacing, the art, the characters, the WHOLESOME, the onslaught of choices and customization.... it's a 6+ star rating for me!
I'm hoping to be able to play the full game during one of my streams whenever it comes out! This game is the most anticipated one for me on this site. I've been dying for updates aaaaa
Thanks for the hard work. I really have a hard time with the poly routes in games, but only when the autor force that option, that makes me feel always the third wheel in the relationship, but making optional is sooooo great, so thanks for thinking in all of us, for those who don't like/feel uncomfortable too those who like and this can add new experience in they games ♡♡♡♡
Pd: sorry for my bad english :P
YESSSSSSS

urk..
Friendly reminder the polyamory option is an option and not required. If you don't want it, you're free to simply not pick it. This is awesome for mono and poly people, it's a win-win. :)
all i'm going to say is thank you if i had 1'0000 i would it to you so you can make more amazing games like this
GBPatch owe you my entire life. This is the best news Ive ever received I love you sm.

IM GEN SO EXCITED - THE REP IN THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING AMAZING
im going 2 expldoe
Yay! I am so happy to hear this. I love the natural progression and feel of the game in B&A, and with the characters we have and the dynamics available in N&F I really think a polyamorous route for late-game feels natural & lovely! Thanks for the update & I am so excited to see the game in (hopefully) a few years!
