Our Life: Beta Build 0.79! (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android)

Hey everyone!

We've got the next beta build. This one adds one more Moment Step 3- Errands. That's the only new major addition, but it's a pretty big event all by itself. This is the second September expansion already, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a third this month that comes out right at the end. We'll do our best.

A small tip of sorts is that when you're in a relationship the game does like to give you the chance to make the first move in a lot of situations but if you wait you can get Cove to do something. That's definitely true for this event and there are some cute alterations that come from not being the first to show affection. I know it can be tough to resist, so that's why I'm giving some reassurance that it is worth it, haha.

Windows/Linux Version   

Mac Version  

Android Download 

New Content: 

  • 338,000 words in total

  • The Step 3 Moment "Errands" is now playable

  • Some errors were fixed from before

  • If you're at Fond or Crush during Step 2, the fourth level of relationship (Love), can be unlocked during Step 3. If you were indifferent during Step 2 then Crush will still be the highest option.

What's Missing: 

  • A fully functional choice-based Cove for Step 3, please use the Cove Customization Screen to determine things for now

  • The transitional narration between Steps 2 and 3

  • Getting to customize the appearance of the bedroom in Step 3

  • The item CG in Errands is just a sketch right now

Known Errors: 

  • The phone screen sometimes comes in and out of view weirdly, also sometimes there's not enough room in the text bubble for all the text

  • When text appears top down from the center screen sometimes it's formatted in a strange way 

  • 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 for most characters yet

  • If you run into any kind of error report screen, hitting the Ignore option once or twice will generally let the game continue past that point.

Thank you for all of the support. It's really, really appreciated. We hope you enjoy ❤

I could just imagine Cliff smiling to himself as Cove ate his special treat. Just happy his son is happy. I really enjoy this one!

Great job as always! The sugary sweetness if this episode gave me diabetes 😍. As much as I enjoyed it I never managed to find a way to see the alternate part and I am unsure of how to get there😔. Can someone please help me with that?

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If you're in a relationship and have a history of touching/kissing Cove in the past (so he knows it's alright to do), when you see him again after separating (either 'cause you texted him to find you or you just happened to see him) don't run into his arms or touch him. A little while later, he'll initiate a romantic moment. And if you're in a good mood and get the chance to ask Cove to carry your bags of whatever, don't ask him or offer to do anything for him. He'll then bring something up himself.

I got an error in "errands" after offering to give Cove a piggyback ride (line 2671) that said "step3_athletic_points is not defined".
