Month End Post: September 2026 Wrap-Up

There’s something in the air… Maybe it’s the first leaf to ~fall~ or possibly Omi’s cooking — either way, we’re absolutely living for everything seasonal. 🍂

Welcome to our September 2026 Month End blog! The team is creating an autumn game and it is now autumn, so things are getting VERY real around here. Our Early Access release is right around the corner and we are in “full speed ahead” mode!

What does that mean for us? Read on, friend. 

Monthly Content Summary

First up, we hit a major milestone on Patreon this month: Shoutout to our 30,000 incredible subscribers! We appreciate you all immensely and are very grateful for your support, every day.

In September, we celebrated four fantastic events. 💕

First, the Our Life games took part in the annual Fall In Love Festival on Steam. The OLBA DLCs were on sale, among other super cute romance-themed games.

We cheered for Hispanic Heritage Month! It began on the 15th and runs through October. We are very proud to support our Hispanic players, their community, and of course, our Hispanic characters!

Next, GB’s birthday was this month! 🥳 Another year of her creativity  — how lucky are we?! Thank you for all that you do, captain.


Finally, we just wrapped up Derek Suárez’s birthday on the 29th. We got to celebrate the D-man twice this month and there are few as deserving. A kind, gentle, gorgeous character, all we can say is… WE LOVE YOU DEREK! 

Development Progress

Two BIG accomplishments this month:

1. GB reports that the team is nearly finished programmed ALL 10 STEP 2 MOMENTS ‼️

2. ALL character art for Step 2 has been completed!

Shawna and the programming team were also checking tasks off left and right. They…

• Added in a new CG for an upcoming Moment

• Prepped the second-to-last script of Step 2 for code formatting

• Did a whole bunch of bug fixes, testing, and cleanup for the upcoming Moment scripts

• Implemented new interactivity features into an upcoming Moment and added new tutorial slides

Their team also spent the back half of September finishing up Beta 1.5.13. It was out-of-this-world BIG and included:

• TWO full new moments

  • Rhyming Riddles Part 1 & 2

  • Secrets Part 1 & 2

• 2 new CGs

• Added backgrounds that were missing in prior build

• Fixes to typos/errors from the prior build

As you can see, the Early Access release is very close to being ready for you. 💕
