Question Thread: October 2026

Hello! I hope you doing well!! First time asked gah! 1. Is there anything of interest from Qius conversation talking about the mc after meeting to their parents? Or just the typical 'i met a new kid they are cool' and does it change if there is a crush? 2. Assuming Yi and Hongs feelings about Qiu and the neighbors crush on each other is just 'aw how sweet' how do they feel about a jealous Qius tendency to be a little snappy to the mc? Do they ever try to step in or just feel helpless? Or unaware? 3. Similar question, youve said a jealous qiu isnt afraid to hurt mcs feelings a bit, but what happens when Qiu is ready to move forward? Do they just come back like it never happened? Or is there some action taken to reconcile?

Hello GB and David, I hope you all enjoy your october! My questions this month are more mechanics based so its entirely understandable if youre unable to answer them at this time! have you thought about a coming out scene in step three similar to the one in step two? Similarly, Im curious to know if youve considered how the jealousy/envy mechanics will work when youre dating one of the Lis? I know our actions influence how the Lis look in some way, but Im unsure how exactly does that work? does how close we are to them in the steps change how much that effects it?

Hi Gb Patch! Hope you are doing alright! 1. In OLNF if we choose "we are certain baxter and ren like us more now", does our MC ever got invited to go to Baxter big cool house? 2. in OLBA, baxter in step 4 keep mention he make more mistake than distance himself from his friend in OLNF and MC in OLBA, did he really did alot of thing he regret other than distancing himself from everyone? or just him being dramatic? 3. if in High school no-backpack-day, what a 13yrs old and 16yrs old Baxter will bring to school? ahaha 4. in step 3, if baxter is dating MC, when terri take shotgun seat multiple time, did baxter ever hope MC will be the one sit at the front since they are dating and the vacation is short? 5. I want to say thank you for creating Our Life series! Your game really amazing and it inspire me alot! I love all the character you created, its such a lovely magic and they always pull me away from sadness and toxic environment. I wonder what will you think if someone make a game that is also a slice of life where there are different chapter follow the MC grow to an adult together with other side character, will this be an insult..? Cause I always wanted to make a game but I lack of experience, I hope one day I can be like you. You are amazing! Thank you for always answering the questions, I know sometime my questions can be overwhelm.

Hello!! I hope everyone is doing well ❤️ This is my first time asking something and I have a VERY important question,,,Do Tamarack and Qiu prefer waffles or pancakes? If they both absolutely had to choose ^⁠_⁠^

I hope you're having a great and spooky October! My question is, what would be Noelani's fantasy of a perfect date? Between OL1 and 2 there are so many good moms but Lani is my pick for the best~

Hello, hope this month has been while for you. I first want to thank you for making our life beginning and always, I recently played the game and I rlly loved it, and Cove is one of favourites characters of all time. I wanted to ask, what were your favourite moments in our life beginning and always?

I’ve always been curious about this, but I’m not sure if it’s something that will ever come up in the story. In the instance that the neighbors are at the crushes level during step 1, is the MC Tamarack and Qiu’s first crush?

1. So, from Step 2 to Step 4, if the MC accepts Derek's proposal, maintains contact, and does not pursue a relationship with Cove/Baxter or anyone . Derek continues to harbor a secret crush on the MC for ten years and they are his first official relationship (MC agreed to the love confession), right? 2. What kind of person and behavior from the MC makes the OL1 LI uncomfortable?

Hello! I'm not sure if my question falls within the scope of future storylines, so feel free to ignore it if it’s awkward! I really love the OL game, and playing it makes me really happy! Thank you for creating it! Q1：I wanted to ask if there’s a chance for Qiu to see a shooting star haha, because in the story choices, I sincerely want to see their wishes come true, so I’m curious about this. Q2:At the same time, I'm really curious—since mc has known Qiu and Tamarack since childhood, does that mean they're more likely to be attracted to people they've grown up with, and find it harder to start a romantic relationship with someone they just met, like Bax? Or if mc hadn’t known them since childhood, and only came to the town during their high school years or later, would there still be a chance for a romantic relationship with them? Q3：I'm curious about how Qiu and Tamarack viewed each other at different times. For example, in the first stage, I thought they saw each other as friends, but in the second stage, I was unsure about that. As the MC, I hope to bring the three of us together, but I'm also curious about what they were thinking and feeling back then. Thanks again to you all! I'm really looking forward to the next story！！

1. How does the small, average, and large body type function? For ex. Is a large body type representative of a character being fat, or does it include a character being muscular? Will the MC have a choice about how they can feel about their body size, like how Tamarack does? 2. Not sure if this is answerable, but will we get a customizable bedroom for Step 2?

Hi Gb and team, just a quick one and sorry if someone already asked it; will the soundtrack/ost be on places like Spotify/YoutubeMusic/etc when the EA launches? I can't deny that I'd love to be able to listen to it while out or writing during this season.

Hi Gb Patch. I hope you’re still recovering well from your surgery. There’s been a question on my mind for a while now so I’m glad I’m finally able to ask it. My question is what happened to the Ol2 mc’s family? In the step 1 prologue Opal mentions how it’s only been her and the mc for a while, and that’s made me wonder what happened to Opals parents, potential siblings, and more extended family. Was there a falling out between Opal and her family which led to her being alone with the Mc? I understand if it’s left up to the imaginations of the players, or if it was left out due to the found family feeling the game had. Other than that I hope you and everyone else working on this game have a wonderful rest of their day.

Hii!! Ive been following these games since like 2019 im obsessed!! 1. I know the intent is to play the moments in any order but is the "suggested" order how they are displayed on the moment selection screen? 2. Also!! I dont know if you can answer this but why did you stop doing the monthly post about progect w??? :(

Hi, I hope you're all doing well and that you're injury is healing. I do have a few questions: 1. I know that technically the roadmap says that the ending is included in the November release, but I just wanted to check if the "and then fall ended" is included in the release. 2. I also have to wonder, if Tamarack or Qiu can confess in step 2, or if it's like in OL1 where you would have to confess first? I'm not sure if this question had been asked before... And if the LI can confess, does it happen after the MC makes it obvious they like them? Like, if the MC isn't ready to face their feelings it won't happen? 3. Are there more bonding moments with Yusuf? 4. I also wonder if Opal would bond with the MC if they came out on the ace spectrum and shared their experience. Am not sure if this is a fifth question, but if the MC is ace and romances either Tamarack or Qiu and they came to her with their concern of feeling different and worrying that it may not work out because they're ace, what advice would she give the MC?

OL2: Serenity's mother works as a nurse at the local hospital, and for the Sick Day Moment, we have to go to the neighbouring, larger, town for their Urgent Care department. What's the size of Golden Grove's hospital (considering it's not large enough to have an Urgent Care department, which the larger, next door town has, along with the smartphone store)? Is there hospital beds at Golden Grove's hospital, whether it's for day surgeries, overnight observations, extended hospital stays? Do patients who went to the Urgent Care in the neighbouring town for a procedure/operation get transferred to Golden Grove's hospital afterwards to recover if they have to stay longer than the day of the procedure/operation?

hello, happy october! I hope everything is going well with the gb patch team :) my questions are: 1. if it isn’t too hard to answer, what gave you the idea to get into creating visual novel games? 2. is there a certain process you go through when creating a new character? 3. do you have a personal favourite character of yours? 4. how did qiu realise they are non binary? if that isnt too hard to answer thank you for doing this Q&A! I love all of your work so much.

if in step 3 your mc decides to date Qiu or Tamarack while having romantic feeling for both of them how will the other character take it. what would be their reaction.

Hiyaa GB patch team, I've been thinking about this for a while and we know that something that makes Cove flustered are anklets. But what about Tamarack and Qiu? Do they have a spefic thing/action that make them flustered too? 2: How would the OUR Life Love intrests in both games react to an MC who was really really good at fighting. like they can beat 20 grown adults in a fight (i love the trope where a sweet or small character can beat like an army of people its so silly). Thats all the questions I have. sorry for the horrible grammer and have a great autumn. 🍂 🍁🎃

Hello! I've always just looked at stuff, but I thought I'd join in this time, as the early release isn't too far way :]! Regarding OL:NF, I was wondering: will there be any serious topics talked about in future steps, like step 3? Or once step 2 is fully out? I know that rheumatism (Tam's grandpa) is mentioned, as well as why the MC has no father, but I'm referring to topics like depression, or tragedy. Angst, basically. I love how joyful Golden Grove is, but I would love if there was some angst to spice things up--not just between Tam and Qiu. Thank you for your hard work!! This is truly THE game ever <3

It's twilight season so theoretically, even if none of the teens are twilight fans, I think it'd be funny to know what team they are on whether the information they know is from peers talking or what not.

Hello!!!!! I am sooooo excited for the early access release, I might die!! Have a good luck with the final adjustments and the release, GB! 1) Does Opal like flowers? What about being gifted them (would it be different if MC gifts flowers)? Is she the type to have a favorite flower? 2) I assume that Pam and 'Lani would have had a slightly easier time, or at least some knowledge on how to raise a transgender kid (correct me if I am wrong), but what about Opal? She isn't really associated with the community, so was it a struggle to take care of her trans child initially and facing the societal backlash? Asking before they moved to Golden Grove. 3) When will we be able to ask you publicly about the rest of step 1 and step 2 content once it's out?

Hi! I hope you are having a wonderful development cycle! I hope everything goes smoothly 1. What would be your take on the MC in OL1 (ex: looks, personality, name, ect)? 2. How would Liz react if the MC was consistently confused as the older sibling throughout the steps? 3. What would be both Qiu's and Tamarack's favorite pastrie be throughout steps 1 and 2, and how would they react if the MC baked it for them? Thank you for doing this Q&A, and have a nice day!

HI HI (This is my first time asking anything, as im usually just a lurker lol) Hope everyone's doing good ^^ Anyway my question is about both the OL2 LI. In both Step 1 & 2 what are their dream jobs? Like in step one did either of them have a Steryotypical little kid dream of wanting to be a astronaught or something? And in step two do they have a more semi realistic idea of what they want to do. I don't mean this question in anyway that relates to step three as I know you haven't done much on that yet. (Idk if i phrased that right) Also you've mentioned qiu liking more alt / emo music.. so.. hypothetically do they have a fav mcr member? For my final question, do Qiu,Tamarack and Ren have canon birthdays? I love making birthday art for my favs and idk if i just haven't looked hard enough or if the OL2 casts birthdays haven't been revealed yet.

Last question for now. When Qiu and Tamarack have to play sports for PE or a school event, what sports do they prefer or tolerate more than the others?

what are Qiu's and Tam's love languages?

If the MC were to get REALLY into military equipment, weapons, aircraft (and I mean knows the public specs off the top of their head and has very strong opinions on what equipment was better and why), how would Qiu and Tamarack react/handle that whenever the MC goes into an info dump?

If the MC got hooked on zyns or dipping tobacco, what would Qiu and Tamarack's reactions be?

Helloooooo, this is the first time I've asked and it's a question I've been dreading for a long time, but Did Opal conceive MC through artificial insemination or was she with MC's father?

PLEASE tell me if Opal gets her man 🙏 I’d love to see the relationship between opal and Yusuf more

Hai!!! I wanted to ask, what would cove be like if him and mc had kids? What would he be like as a father?
