These were the concepts the BG artist designed for Tamarack's cozy kitchen! Both are very charming, but the one in the game is A.

I shared the completed bus image yesterday as a proper chapter image, but here's the other two icons that have been in the works. They look great!

Here's a chapter card for one of the DLC Moments in Step 2! Usually when making Our Life games I mostly do the free-to-play Moments first and then the DLC ones for each Step. However, I've been leaning way more towards the DLC Moments when making Step 2 of OL2. Three out of the four Moments I've worked on so far are from the DLC. But that's fine, it'll all get done in the end.

Cheetah girl! The scene with sleepwear outfits in Step 2 is pretty unusual. Vianca is around too 🤔

These are the icons for the three Step 2 Moments I've finished writing or am currently writing. Exciting autumn adventures are ahead 🍂💀💖.

So, who's gonna take the actual pop quiz in this game, haha?
Recess time 😁. This is a location from the Step 1 DLC.

Little Qiu is so considerate 🥺️
Pure Text:
“Qiu yanked at his rain-soaked sleeves, almost tugging himself totally off balance. He managed to peel himself out of his famous jacket.”
“There wasn’t any talking about the man-vs-coat battle that happened in front of you. Qiu simply held his signature possession out towards you as if it’d appeared there by magic.”
if admiring:
“That was stunning! Unbelievable. You couldn’t even th...

Alright, we've got this month's emote poll! I'd like to replace the old-style emoji of Baxter wiping his brow with a handkerchief. We could have it still be Baxter but in the current emote artstyle or it could be someone else.
Leave a comment to let me know what age you'd want it to be for Baxter or which other character it should be.
This poll closes after the 15th.
Happy voting!

Qiu is hanging out in their ballet look for longer in Step 2, so it's getting the side pose treatment!

You're moving up in the world! Specifically, to the front rider's seat of the car, haha.

Here is the first question asking thread of a new year!

The thread will close after January 19th.
1. Please don't reply to other people's questions even if you know the answer. The fun of joining a Q&A is t...

She can either be making a gift for her special valentine or she could be getting a present herself. Leave a comment to let me know if Tam should be her Step 1, 2, or 3 self.
The poll will close on January 8th.

Can you believe it? IT’S 2025! 🎉We hope this year is full of completed goals, fulfilled dreams, and time spent for YOU. (Perhaps with a GB Patch game? 🤭)
So, what’s the plan for OL2 this year? More below, but we can confirm that there will be at least one more major demo launch update for folks to explore...

Welcome to the end of 2024, everyone! This is Claire, the GB Patch Community Manager, here with a final update for the year. We’d like to, first, take a moment to reflect on what was accomplished this December and, second, relive all that happened in the GB Patch world throughout 2024! It seems that the months fly by faster every year – but no matter how quickly time passes, we still spend every...

Hello! There is a beta this month. Phew. It's coming right at the end and late in the day, but I can't even begin to explain the complicated programming the second half of Mixed Up has. I am extremely grateful to Shawna for turning my completely unrestrained scripting into something that actually functions for real, aha.
And that's not all, this beta has one more small Step 2 scene that includes the new texting feature and has re-added the first day of school scenes from the original S...

Wow! Today's a day of celebration, as we all know. It's Project W Wednesday 🥳️
For the final month of 2024, I've got some actual reveals to share, plus some neat news about next year's Project W's posts.
First, I'm gonna tell you the season Project W is based on. It is... spring! Project W is all about plants and new beginnings and beautiful colors. Some people thought the W might stand for winter and that was a very good guess, but I'm afraid a snowy game wi...
2024-12-25 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I just want to let you know that I'll be taking a week off of writing and drafting for OL2, starting on the 25th and going to the 31st of December. I'll be around to answer messages, previews will continue being posted, and I'll program stuff too if there's scenes ready to go. I'll only be giving my brain an extended rest from making progress on the script. This year really took it out of me, as it did for most people, aha.
On January 1st I'll go back to dedicating t...

I told you Qiu would also have a phone pose and here it is! Their cell is plain black with a clear protective case. Qiu likes to keep their tech simple.

Tamarack has an additional pose alteration! Starting in Step 2, you can use text messages as a way to communicate non-verbally along with the original options of emoting/gesturing. If you do send her a text while you're hanging out in the same place, you'll get to see her actually pull the phone out to check.
Qiu will get this type of pose as well.

Here's another look at older concept art! The BG designer created two options for the upstairs hallway in the Lin household. The version that ended up in game was B, but both of them look great.

The phone is real! The UI screen for texting conversation works. Plus, Shawna has made it possible for you to change the name of the contact and even pick between different color schemes by clicking the gear icon 😄
