Our Life: Derek Beta Build 0.5 🚌 (PC, Mac, & Android)!
Hey, everyone! It's finally time for the beta update. The gang's all here and they're all grown up, well mostly grown up, haha. Derek's Step 2 scenes were added last time, so this version has that still and now includes part of the Step 4 story. It's not all of Step 4, but it is a very large chunk of it.
You'll have to start a brand new file for Derek's beta content to unlock, but there is an option at the beginning to skip right to Step 2.
Important Notes:
In order to get Derek's Step 4 content you have to play all his Step 2 Moments and keep in touch with him during Step 3
Some backgrounds in Step 4 are reused from Step 2 because their Step 4 version isn't completed yet
Not all the new characters have voice acting currently, though some do
New Content:
A large portion of Derek Step 4 content
54,450 words worth of new scenes
Two additional CGs
Mr. Suarez and Jorge (Step 2) now have voiced lines added throughout their scenes
A new screen to let you choose which version of Step 4 to play, the original or Derek's version
New sprites and backgrounds were implemented
The monthly beta build updates usually range from 15k-20k words added, so this 54k one is absolutely massive. I really wanted to make sure players could get into the Step 4 time period rather than it being a sneak peek. I hope you all enjoy seeing the Suarez family grow up 😊

yeah mines are still locked. i don't know how to open them up. i mean i unzipped the file and it won't open up for me. idk if i'm suppose to move files into the main game file or not. i didn't have this issue with any of the cove beta files so i'm don't know what i'm doing wrong.
Oh thanks. Never figured out why it wouldn't load on my computer. Got it to work on my phone though. Go figure. 😅
I'm having the same issue but with step 4 because it only chooses cove instead of Derek. I've already done Derek's step 2 and pick the kept in contact with him but it's still not showing what should i do
I've just played the beta again and... wow... is just amazing! I hope u know how great you are!
I love how we can have a relationship with Cliff independent of our relationship with Cove. My MCs definitely consider him their dad.
Right? I was sooo happy to finally have this moment with him, to have the option in the story that we spent Father's Day with him for years and all that. And kid cove "we can share dad" i just love him🤣🥰
The most traumatizing part of the update was "and that's where the beta ends", I wanna cry it was so good. I love how the boys haven't changed personality-wise. I loved every moment, I can hardly wait for MOAR! 🥰🥰🥰
I feel so silly but how do you get Derek’s step 2 moments ? I can choose how to feel about him in the beginning of the step but the rest of it is like regular. Am I missing something obvious ?
There’s a thing in the top left corner of the moments that switches to Derek’s
You guys are absolute sadists for making such likeable bachelors, I've been looking forward to Derek's route only to still be so emotionally attached to Cove and feeling awful friendzoning him. Having to mash that skip button to avoid the guilt lol out of sight out of mind.
sammmeeee
Not me brought to tears seeing the baby boys be not such babies anymore
I'm only a little ways into step 4 but I'm having such a good time with it that I had to pause to come and comment on it... I'm tearing up of happiness a bit, thanks for everything GB :')
I didn't realize the DLC was AFTER the credits for the longest. I feel so slow, omg.
Silly Question in step 4 in park, if you havent confessed your feelings earlier he states that he loves you. Then later goes to confess his feelings, but decides not to. Was that intentional?
I also noticed that he says "I love you" at the park and there's no reaction to it!
I just finished it and I need more! How much do I have to pay you to make a wedding and 18+ vignette for Derek? Lol I’m honestly loving the way you wrote him here. He feels distinct to Cove, but also just as real. I just want more and more sweet moments with him 🥰
I'm 100% in for the +18 Stand Alone Moment for Derek. Unless the MC turns him down (probably the very last thing I'm going to try in the beta, lol) they're future spouses, dating to see if they're compatible, so I think a special night of intimacy would definitely be a compatibility testing exercise 😉 (I'm so curious how different Derek would be from shy, demisexual Cove, y'know?)
Thank you for all your hard work! As a fellow writer, I know that writing that many words takes a lot of brain power! I don't know what scripting is like, but I can only imagine it's not an easy task. Thank you again!!
Nice! I'm so excited! :D
Something nice to come home to after work ☺
