Important Our Life News

Hey everyone. I've got a bit of news about the development of Our Life. That family emergency where I had to suddenly leave and some difficulties that are still there since then have impacted the progress of the game getting done. 

We don't plan on pushing the release date back.

But, what is likely gonna happen is that on November 2nd, 2020 we'll release the complete free base version, the DLC for new Step 1 Moments, and the DLC for more Step 2 Moments. The DLC for additional Step 3 Moments will  probably release late, but likely not by too long. The main concern is that the quality of the more polished and complete pieces will be marred  by a potentially rushed and buggy Step 3 DLC. Still, just those three  parts will be around 400,000 words all together, so there will definitely be plenty to enjoy on launch. 

I'm very sorry for another delay of sorts. Hopefully when it all shakes out in November the parts that do release will really show how much time/effort we're putting into every piece of the game. We'll do our best!

And we will also still continue to release Patreon beta builds of Our Life content even after the initial release for those who don't want to wait for the future DLCs and don't mind playing not fully polished versions of them, ahah.

Thank you as always for the support ❤

A little sad, but you need to take hare of you first! It's not like my steam wallet isn't going to lose value in the meantime.

Family first always! We all understand that and are behind you all the way. Lets face it, 2020 sucks and probably doesnt deserve OL anyway. I'll keep supporting you all the same, atleast until the bank account runs empty. My wife is still recovering from Covid, and still cant get a release to go back to work. Add to that the governments cut in benefits, her company ending her FMLA (the same company she was working at as a RN, and where she caught the stupid virus) and well I'd say 2020 couldnt get much worse, but I wont jinx us like that. Please look after yourselves and your loved ones. In the End we really dont have anyone else.

Thank you for the update! Hopefully everything is okay. I don’t mind there being a push back, so take your time to resolve family stuff and take care of yourself first. In the end the finished product will be worth the wait no matter what. Besides, life comes first.

Of course, please don't worry! I'm sure all of us can see just how much time, effort and love is put into this game. I can say this is definitely one of my fav games and it's not even out yet! Lol but seriously it's okay! You're all doing well and you've gone above and beyond with your work. Well support you guys to the end ❤️ ^^

Please don't apologize. Honestly, with everything that has already been done so far in the game, you've accomplished and given us so much! I've supported OL from the days of KS, and from joining Patreon, I've seen how much work, time, and effort you put in to spoiling us with content - whether it be art or screenshots of the game itself, or working towards additional goals from how much attention you've earned from various supporters. Seriously, OL has meant a lot to me this past year, and I imagine the same can be said for other players and supporters. Whatever is released, we'll look forward to it and be extremely happy to play through a game filled with so much love and effort. Whatever will need to be tested further or be released via patreon betas, we'll look forward to seeing the events sooner, being able to help point out any errors, and how we can't wait for it to be officially released. Thank you for always being upfront with what is happening behind the scenes. No matter what happens, we can wait, we can look forward to what is to come, and we can return the kindness you've shown and given us during this past year. <3

I've played every game you guys have made and have loved them all. That's why I became a patron. I'm thrilled that I can now help you guys in my small way to make more games. I can obviously see all the love and care you have put into this game and any time I've given feedback I've enjoyed conversing with you. I'm sure everyone cares more about the game being at its best quality then one of the dlc's being a bit late. :)

In all honesty you could push back the release till next year and I would not be complaining. The time, effort and genuine care you all put into this game is more than obvious - it's worth all the wait! Thank you for all you hard work and know we are totally okay with the slight changes 💙
