Month End Post: March 2026 Wrap-Up
SPRING HAS SPRUNG! 💐
Welcome to a new season, full of blooming progress on Our Life: Now & Forever. We have our monthly update here for you and we hope you enjoy it.
A small caveat: This month’s blog is more condensed than usual, because I am currently moving across the country! I will be out of office until the 6th, and will be back in action after that. Thank you for your patience while our community activity is a bit lower during this time. 🙏
Monthly Content Summary
Our Life Madness 2026 took place this month! The community voted for two weeks on their favorite Cove CG (from a selection of eight fan favorites). After some heated debates, we have A WINNER! Take a gander at your champion: the Intro CG from Step 4‼️
And here's the full bracket as well:
Second, the job call for our programming position closed on the 18th. GB and our programmers are currently working through applications, and those that are moving forward have heard back. Regardless of the outcome, we thank you over and over again for your interest.
For those selected, we’ll be offering the position sometime in early April!
But wait, THERE’S MORE JOB NEWS ‼️
A brand new job opening for artists will be available as soon as things are settled for our new programmers! Keep an eye out for more news about this. As always, we’ll post on our socials when we’re ready to share the news!
Development Progress
In March, GB was sick for a significant amount of time, so some tasks were delayed.
But nevertheless, progress was still made. The Fall Ended section is about 2/3rds done!
This month’s beta, 1.5.7, included:
Step 2 Scares & Sweets Part 2
Added backgrounds that were missing in prior build
Fixes to typos/errors from the prior build

Here’s a quick reminder that we are now releasing the public version of the Patreon Q&A transcript on the second Friday of each month instead of being linked below. This gives our team a bit more time to put it together, and we appreciate your understanding. 🙏

Conclusion
And that’s a wrap! Once again, welcome to spring. Take some time to frolic in the newly-bloomed flowers — it’s what Tamarack would want. And also Cove, Poppy Hill’s #1 resident. We’ll see you here, this time, next month!
Flowers for you! And you! And you!🌷

I havnt played since the original demo that ended on the welcome mat, but kept the patereon sub since 2022. Decided to see how much the games changed since then and WOW. I havnt stopped singing its praises to my friends, and ive played through the current build 3 times already!!
Whatttt I know I was busy this month but how did I not hear about this our life madness thing im crying
Hi! Is the Scares & Sweets moment complete in the latest build, or will there be a third part? I’d like to wait until it’s finished before playing it 🌸
Scares & Sweets is indeed complete in the newest build
I hope your cross-country move is smooth and without problems. 😁 It's been a while since I had to help someone move, I can relate.
i'm so happy to see how far this game has come 🤍 i've been excited for it since the demo only went up to the welcome home sign, and i can't wait for the whole game to come out !! take your time, you're doing great ^_^
