Our Life: Beta Build 0.7

Happy July! The first update of the month is ready to go. The last part of Soiree is finally done and a brand new Moment is included as well. Step 2 is really nearing completion now. It's exciting.  

Windows/Linux Version  

Mac Version   

Android Version (file name says demo, but it's the beta)

You can expect the second update for the month to come out around the 20-25th. And if you guys are interested in another live chat session happening in the Discord this month, let me know and we'll work on setting a date for it!

New Content: 

  • 236,000 words in total, 26,000 more words added overall

  • The Moment "Family" is now playable 

  • The Moment "Soiree" is now fully playable with all three parts 

  • A custom screen was added to choose what you do with the Cove Creator 

  • A few more hairstyle options were added

  • Errors were fixed from before

Known Errors: 

  • Saves from the old beta or the public demo will have errors if used with the new version. Please start a brand new file!

  • New events don't have voice acting yet

  • The appearance part of Cove Creator has some small issues with displaying the sprite layers. To try avoiding problems for now, cycle through all the options to get the one you want even if the one you prefer is by default displayed on the Cove Creator sprite.

Please enjoy all the new content. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait ❤

Aw, thank you so much for all of that <3. I'm not sure how we'll handle specifics for the potential careers/interests for the grownup MC, but it's certainly no problem for MCs of any type to want to do something with makeup, fashion, and/or putting on shows. I'm so sorry you're in such a living situation. If OL does help you feel welcomed that's a wonderful thing and we'll keep doing our best to continue that ^^

I got an error with Elizabeth's expression in the family moment right after choosing "I want Cove to sit next to me". The beta was, as always, super amazing. :)

This beta build was just.. amazing. Words can't describe how it left me feeling! All the characters felt like real people with their own thoughts and motivations and I loved how interactions with Cove weren't just the generic Romance Visual Novels where every single choice is used to 'increase' the affection levels. And can I just say - I loved ( x 100000) the Moment art style during Soiree, when Cove and the MC taking a break from the party on their own. It looked a little different to the usual art style, but it was so gorgeous and suited the rest of the styles (as well as drawing Cove as the handsome and precious boy he is) that I couldn't help but take a screenshot of it :D Thank you once again for this amazing beta build!

Thank you ;v;! I'm really happy you liked the new scenes. And I thought that CG ended up being very pretty, too.

Thanks for the hard work! I really enjoyed both moments (soiree and family). The family one had me crying sm MSKDAS And the soiree one was just so... perfect... i loved it.... that moment when cove didn't hesitate... it was perfect! Thanks so much for your hard work! just one thing, in the family moment, when choosing where we are going to sit, the choice "I want Cove to sit next to me" or something along those lines caused an error for me.

Im starting to love Derek a whole lot more!! He's such a cute kid, also like how you can admit to crushing on Cove's parents! Every kid has been there before! Keep up the great work! Also the adoption thing hit so close to home! You handled that scene very nicely I feel!

Thanks very much! It's nice to hear Derek is appreciated too :). And I'm glad the adoption scene worked for you. We tried to do it well.
