Month Beginning Post: May 2026 Plans

[Welcome to this month’s dreamy tea party, created by theo.twofold.page on bluesky!]

Hello, May! 💐

This month is full of plans of all types: Starting the hiring process for a new artist, onboarding new programmers, celebrating Baxter’s birthday… You name it, the team is working on it.

(Also, it’s my dog’s birthday today! Her name is Maybe, AKA May. We call today May Day. We also refer to her as Mayday Parade on this day only.)


Moving on!!! ⬇️

Monthly Content Plans

First, you can expect more details about the new artist role this month. We’ll post everything we’ve got on our socials when the info is ready, so keep an eye out wherever you follow us.

I’m very sorry to say that later last month, GB had a pretty bad injury to her arm. It has halted development a bit, though she is recovering smoothly and hopes to get back to her regular speed soon. ♥️

When she jumps back into it, she’ll begin working on…. STEP 3!

That’s right: We’ve finally hit Step 3 development over here. We can’t confirm how much will be completed this month due to GB’s injury, but it will, at the very least, begin!

To wrap things up, the Our Life games will be in TWO Steam festivals this upcoming month. We can’t reveal many details right now, but keep an eye out for announcements about sales and celebrations!
