Month Beginning Post: February 2026 Plans
This month’s art is a portrait of Step 1 Opal in a warm glow (like a great hug from mom!), created by the very talented Kuni-Cheesecake on Twitter.
Intro
Hello, February: The month of love! 💕 So much of the GB Patch library involves a hand held, a kiss here or there, and the ancient practice of straight up YEARNING. We hope love finds you in some way this month – whether it be in-person, in a game, or just from a pet, you deserve to feel it!
Here’s the breakdown of what GB has planned for this month. Read on, lovers! 🥰
Monthly Content Plans
In February, GB plans to fully wrap-up the 10th Step 2 Moment! She’s been drafting, writing, and editing for a while, and is really excited to see what you think.
The team will also start programming the 3rd Step 2 Moment into the game build – Patrons, keep an eye out for your upcoming beta!
For Valentine’s Day, I’ll be hosting a cute (if I do say so myself) community event, and will post about it on our socials when it’s ready. 💞
And finally, a surprise! We’ll have a new programmer position opening soon. The job listing will go up this month, and we’ll share it all over when it’s available. GB is looking forward to checking out the candidates! ☺️

Has the programmer position been posted yet as of late february? I assume its still on its way since I haven't seen it but wanted to ask just to be sure!
It's coming very soon!
I just finished up the demo, I'm new to this game, but I fell ln love with the characters. I saw the roadmap and just wanted to say that I'm here for the ride. Also, would anyone mind explaining what the beta offers? I'm interested in upgrading to it!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! The beta as everything the public demo does plus seven more Step 1 Moments, the Step 1 ending, and one additional Step 2 Moment with more Step 2 content being added each month.
Baxter Noooo
always love to see baxter catching strays, i love my skrunly little man
baxter slander will NOT be tolerated 👹👹👹 I LOVE MY LIL GUY 🩷🩷🩷 🤍🖤
It's only slander if it's untrue, I'm afraid
I don’t need love back from Baxter, but I want the outpouring of love he gets to reach him because he deserves every bit of it, no matter what he believes.🖤🤍
Honestly I can't have a backup when Baxter exist😭 But if I really had to, then definitely Qiu, I love Cove, but over time I started to appreciate him more as family/a friend.
what if my backup for Baxter is Ren?
Then you have my condolences.
I've been spending hours and hours getting to know and adore Tam and Qiu... yet the second Baxter shows up he steals my heart just like he steals those cars 🖤🤍
Thank you as always Claire for keeping us up to date. I'm looking forward to your community event. OPAL <3 mommy! on an unrelated note: my OUR LIFE hoodie came in-its wonderful
That's great!
Bruh, that opal art is great.
🤍🤍
