Month Beginning Post: December 2025 Plans

[Here’s Ren, popping over the fence to say hello, in this incredibly sweet portrait from choombie on Twitter.]

It’s all come down to this! Here we are, in the last month of 2025, braving the cold (or warm, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere) together. Almost a full year of development on Our Life: Now & Forever has come and gone, and we hope you’ve loved what you’ve gotten to see so far. Whether you’re a beta, demo, or “no spoilers until full launch” player, we’re overjoyed to have you with us. 💕

Let’s dig into what GB plans to accomplish this December! ❄️

Monthly Content Plans

A quick general item to discuss:

December is your last chance to pick up the brand new Our Life Ocean Hoodie! It’s a limited edition drop, and will be available until December 13th, at 6:00am PST. Thank you to the (as of writing) 839 players who have purchased one! It’s an honor to know that you’ll be sporting Sunset Bird gear out in the world.

PS: We should think of a code word or symbol to spot each other on the street. (Writing that sentence threw me back to: “I like your shoelaces!” “Thanks, I stole them from the president.”)

Now, in development plans:

In December, GB will keep working on the drafts for the final parts of Step 2. She plans to write as much as she can in all aspects (what an icon). 

We’ll have a new announcement regarding our incoming background artists, too! 

Finally, a beta with additional Step 2 content will be released for our beta testers.

Conclusion

We hope your final 30 days of 2025 are full of everything you need them to be. If you celebrate, we wish you a fantastic holiday season! If you don’t, we wish you a splendid month. Stay warm, eat some soup, and if you ever need a break, know that your friends in Golden Grove are always here, waiting. 

See you next year! 😉🥳
