Month Beginning Post: October 2026 Plans
[Nate Lawson under a red moon? Sounds perfect. Thank you to @wym_lawson on Twitter for this haunting XOXO Droplets-themed portrait! ]
Did you… hear that? 😰
Could it have been a ghost (of a monochrome man)? A snake? (Anyone have eyes on Shiloh?) Maybe it was just a branch hitting our window.
Or, maybe…
BOO ‼️It was OCTOBER, slamming onto our calendars! The Early Access release of Our Life: Now & Forever will be here next 👏 month 👏. There’s art to be created, lines to be programmed, and stories to be told. Let’s dig into our October plans! 🎃
General Content Plans
First up, we have an update about the Patreon subscription system. Patreon has restructured its tiers and gift dynamics, and GB has made a statement about how this will affect current and upcoming subscribers. You can read her explanation here.
As for development, Shawna reports that the programming team will be finalizing the remaining scripts left for November’s EA release. They’ll also be ironing out bug fixes, testing, and polish.
They note that players can also look forward to new improvements in our error screens in the October beta, in the event that you run into any problems.
Finally, GB reports that October may also see the creation of Step 3 art! That is a very exciting concept and I can’t wait to share more details once I’ve got ‘em.
Important Dates
October 1st: Month Start blog
October 9th: Public Patreon Q&A Transcript release
October 11th: GB public Tumblr Q&A
October 31st: End of Month Blog (and Halloween 🎃)
Important Links
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
Right now, the kids of Golden Grove are picking out the costumes they’ll wear at the end of the month. What about you? Will you also be dressing up? I want to hear your Halloween plans! (Or just your regular fun October plans if that’s not your thing. 🙏)
On the lookout for a black cat… 🐈⬛
