Welcome to June, Pride Month, and another 30 days full of GB-led development! 🥰

We are now roughly 6 months away from Our Life: Now & Forever’s early access release and more work is accomplished on it every single day.

Keep reading for what we plan to check off this month. ⬇️

General Content Plans

June marks the start of Pride! I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we love to celebrate all things LGBTQ+ here at GB Patch Games. Wherever you are in the world, and however you identify, know that we cherish you exactly how you are. Thank you for playing our games, and we hope that you can find a piece of yourself represented in them.

Our newest merch drop went live one hour ago! The designs for the ORCA t-shirt and socks have now been revealed on Makeship. You’re also able to officially preorder them.

The MC doll icon artist position will be filled in June! We're no longer accepting applications.

Finally, June 21st marks the first day of summer, and with it, the beginning of OLBA’s season! ☀️

Development Plans

GB also has big goals for June. She plans to finish writing Day 1 of the Step 3 prologue and fully draft Day 2. Ideally, she’d also like to get some writing done for Day 2.

Our artists will have the remaining CGs finished for Step 2 and will continue creating S2 backgrounds (since there are so many of them, as GB notes! 🥰)

Very fun news: The composer who created the original tracks for OL2 has returned! He’s created two new songs already, and two more will be completed next month.
