finally starting my first beta playthrough! last time was for .05 or something!!

Only being able to have one best friend hurt me inside lol

Ahh what do i do 🥲🥲 everytime i extract the folder and open up the extracted file it shows up empty 😭😭 Can anyone help? I use windows 😭

Every time I create my character I’ll press male + masculine for every option including sex traits and Qiu will still say ‘he’s a boy?’ when tamarack introduces me 😭

I haven't seen anyone mention yet but apologies if someone did and I missed it. In the Step 1 prologue at the diner when you get options about your feelings on the rain there are a couple options hanging off the screen behind the info skip auto and log tabs. I assume they were meant to go onto a page 2 but something got mixed up. One of them says something about scary but I can't really make out anything beyond that. I'm really enjoying the beta so far though. Y'all are doin a great job.

hi! i keep having the same error when trying to extract the file from the folder: for archive.rpa does anyone know how to fix this or have any idea what this means? ive tried to install it multiple times however it keeps coming up with the same error

i have another bug~ if you give qiu a nickname that has two separate names, the second one won't be capitalized. i called them qiu qiu bc mandarin nicknames are often repetitions of a word, so it appeared as Qiu qiu in game. thank you!

In the prologue when at the diner with Tamma and Qiu, the apple cider options (hot and cold) appear twice. I saw somebody mention that Opal has a raised eyebrow expression if you choose to continue calling her "mommy" but for me, it appeared when I continued to call her "mom" so I thought I'd mention it in case it wasn't intentional lol. Also, I wanna add that I have decided, after Qiu's complete 180 in personality, that the best nickname for them is Sunny. This is my hill and I've decided I'm dying on it, thank you for coming to my TED talk lol

I found a bug, when you're choosing your drink at the diner the hot/cold apple cider choices appear twice, also in step 2 are you supposed to be able to choose what Qiu and Tamarack feel about you?

I just know the 'moving down a step' thing is going to kill me. I'm a completionist and I just know I'm going to need to do a route where I'm close with both MC's and then it slowly degrades, or suddenly degrades. Ahh just the thought of all that angst is making me scream. I can't wait.

Love the update :) Just encountered one bug on android: I couldn't progress past the nationality/heritage choices unless I picked "didn't remember" for nationality and the write-in choice for heritage. All other combinations resulted in an error, rolling back made it occur after the nationality choice. The error reset after loading a previous save.

I have a question about the relationship mechanics and I don’t see it asked somewhere else. I know we have some opportunity to organically progress the relationship going from neighbors to friends and friends to best friends within a scene or moment and can actually “step down” between steps. My question is kind of two fold, can we “step down” within scene/moments as well and can we “jump” relationship levels within? For example my main MC is not particularly comfortable with Qiu in Step 1 (too friendly 😂) but would likely come to appreciate/understand them more in Step 2 or 3. So could they jump from “neighbors to crush” within a scene? If this has been answered somewhere else or if this needs to go into the monthly Q&A section then I’ll gladly move it.

The full game can't come soon enough ;;

I chose to have a crush on both Qiu and Tamarack; then when I decided to walk to school alone with Tamarack and chose to hold her hand a sprite of Qiu in their shirt was infront of Tamarack's sprite. Also sorry for getting Qiu's pronouns wrong in my last post. I got to get use to using them when talking about them in Step 2.

just started playing this new beta update and im getting emotional already! thank you gbpatch for all the hard work youre putting into this beautiful story, i cant wait to see it flourish :D

this was so cute, i loved it. however, after finishing my first characters run of it, i couldnt load any of my other saves up, it just told me an exception has occured, and said this [code] I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

i haven't played through the whole prologue but i'm enjoying it thus far~ i've found one bug right after i ask tamarack and qiu to walk to school together when we're leaving qiu's backyard, with the dialogue box "Tamarack and Qiu went ahead while you made a quick stop to grab the bike from your own backyard. You regrouped at the center of the cul-de-sac", the background image isn't there. it is black background with red text that says "image 'bg neighborhood m2' not found" or something like it :3c then when i offer to hold hands, they both say "huh?" but they're superimposed on each other rather than side by side hehe (i'm using the storybook textbook speech bubbles, not the default visual novel ones)

i can't download it bc it says too many people have downloaded it 😔

THIS IS THE BEST AFTER CLASS SURPRISEEVER!!! STEP 2 BABIES HERE I COME! *please excuse me as I return to my beloved Golden Grove!*

AAAAA OH MY GOSH????!?!?

I'm not sure why, but for some reason I can't download the Mac version? It says something about quota reached or too many people have accessed the link and to try again later, which is weird. Edit: nevermind, I just realized the mirror links are right there!

This is so wonderful. I’m happy to go back to the childhood days, but I’m excited for the angst of teens. I just want to make Qiu and Tamara feel better :(

I loved getting a look at the Step 2 preview. I just want to hold and protect Tamarack. I giggled when you tell Qiu he's adorable he says your an expert on being cute, so I can't deny it. I noticed an blacked out image saying image not found. I'm curious about something when you edit how Qiu and Tamarack feel about the player. I was crushing on Qiu in Step 1 and in Step 2 i could make it go down to friends or neighbors. Is this a bug or is it possible to stop having a crush on them and simply be friends or distant with them?

My favourite scene was when Qiu just flops on MC.. it was so adorable!! I love em so much! Also gave Qiu Yuzu as a nickname. I dont know why that was the first thing that popped into my head.

(pardon the caps on this one, I came straight from the demo update) THE LITTLE DETAIL OF OPAL'S CHIBI SPRITE RAISING A BROW WHEN YOU CHOSE TO CALL HER MOMMY STILL AWWWWW; MOTHER I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU (I also love this detail, thank you very much :D)

Let's go!!!! Step 2 here we go!

Thank you so much for the update! I have a problem with running the beta build. I've been downloading the zipped file, extracting it, and double-clicking the .exe file to run the game, however, it never loads? I've tried running the 1.3.3 and 1.3.2 beta as well but I still can't seem to get the file to run :(.

I absolutely loved every bit of this new update, but I did run into one slight issue. Once it says my character set down his skateboard right near the end, the background suddenly turned black with large red letters saying that the image coudn't be found and only turning back on the very last line of text.

AAAAHH I checked hoping just to scroll and I was met with an even bigger gift 😭🩵 thank you so much for your work this made my night better

Loved the preview!

oh qiu.... you are so silly <3 on god my little guy is gonna drag you away from teen angst kicking and screaming if they have to. also tamarack is just so sweet, i can't wait to see more of her in step 2 and help her get that confidence up. such a fun beta!!

I'm so frickin hyped! I've been checking in daily for this 🥰 Tonight can't come soon enough, I want to play already 😭😭😭

Don't know if anyone else is getting this problem, but whenever I extract the files from the zip file in order to use the application, the only thing that comes up is a single file with nothing inside; don't know if this is a problem with my computer or something else. Thought to share in case someone else is also experiencing this problem

The way I got so excited when we could give Tamarack a nickname and how I nearly screamed when I saw Tamma as an option-

thank you very much!! can't wait to check it out

Every other second I was screaming into my hands, the angst HURTS

Guys, y'all seriously outdid yourselves. I can't wait to drag this friend group back together (kicking and screaming, if need be.) The angst is delicious, and I'm so excited to see what all y'all do with this game.

Can't wait to play!!

THE ANGST IS SO GOODDD I LOVE IT

Now i need more already 😭❤️ I love Qiu ❤️

That´s great! One thing that is confusing me, though: are both Walks and Wheels in this beta? Or will Wheels be developed in the next beta? I am waiting for both moments to arrive to experience them together.

When you go to walk with just Tamarack, there's a overlapping glitch as well, where Qiu appears when you decide to whether to hold hands or walk beside her.

BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT, THANK YOU!

AAAAAAHHHH IT’S HERE

I’ve been waiting for this moment 🥺🍂

I'm so excited! I found one glitch though (I think). When you can choose a nickname for Tamarack, of you choose to type in your own, it doesn't work. I typed in a nickname and it just took me back to the other suggestions. And wouldn't let me click the one I typed in.

just a couple of things i noticed after a quick run through of the step 2 preview: - in step 1 i chose to refer to opal as "mommy" and settled on "mom" in step 2, but some of the step 2 options and dialogue still used "mommy" don't know if that was on purpose or not but it's there & created sort of mental dissonance especially since my character is kinda at odds with her in this point in his life - don't know if it's a bug or just my file acting funky but there was an image not found error that showed a black background and red text for whatever the actual background was supposed to be when the kids are walking from qiu's backyard to school also their sprites overlapped right on top of each other in that scene other than that i loved seeing the step 2 preview and i'm sooo interested in seeing how step 1 moments will feed into what's already been hinted it. it's so cool seeing how the dynamics changed in 4 years. kids really do go through a lot in that pocket of time and i think you once again hit the nail on the head with a lot of trials and tribulations of growing up. excited to see more like always!!!

I know what I'm playing after class Today

I'm so excited, I can't wait!!!

I'm in class...I'm fighting the urge to run home because omg

ahh!!! i've been waiting for this!! thank you so much!!!

omd i'm so excited i can't wait to play!!!!! thank you so much <3 this always becomes the highlight of my day

OMG I CANT EVEN!!! I NOW NEED TO CALL OFF WORK 😩

IM IN CLASS SO I CANT SCREAM BUT OMG?????

Oh My God I can't wait to play this!! I'LL play it as soon as I can! Keep up the work!

AAAAHHHHHHHH ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so excited to play the new update! I can't wait for the final version I'm so excited!!

Omg…thank you, thank you, thank you!😭👏 I'm running to play!🏃‍♀️💨

I'm trying so much not to yell from happiness, this is so amazing😭😭🥰 Oh my God the teen angst and the jealousy, I love it and I love Qiu behavior so much. I tried the hug for curiousity (even if realistically speaking even just brushing my hand against who I liked would kill me XD) and how they fell on purpose in my arms and how they literally cuddled there killed my poor heart. Qiu is amazing and Tamarack is a sweet potato (I just realized this is how Luz call Amity and now I'm dying of double cuteness XD) and I love both so much, it's just so cute. All version of Qiu jealousy are amazing and I would love to talk about them but in case some people still didn't play it I won't.

I’m on the bus at the moment and everyone just looked at me cause I squealed! I literally can’t wait to play when I arrive home!!! Great job! Also I don’t write a lot of comments idk why but now I’m gonna start writing more! Your games really inspire me!!!

was just playing the previous update last night and was loving it so much, really excited to play this one!!

Whaaaa I can't wait to play when I get home 🙏😭😭😭😭

OMG this is so exciting!!! I'll probably have to wait until class is over, but I'll definitely be downloading now. Thanks so much, GB Patch team!!
