These were the concepts the BG artist designed for Tamarack's cozy kitchen! Both are very charming, but the one in the game is A.

I shared the completed bus image yesterday as a proper chapter image, but here's the other two icons that have been in the works. They look great!

Here's a chapter card for one of the DLC Moments in Step 2! Usually when making Our Life games I mostly do the free-to-play Moments first and then the DLC ones for each Step. However, I've been leaning way more towards the DLC Moments when making Step 2 of OL2. Three out of the four Moments I've worked on so far are from the DLC. But that's fine, it'll all get done in the end.

Cheetah girl! The scene with sleepwear outfits in Step 2 is pretty unusual. Vianca is around too π€

These are the icons for the three Step 2 Moments I've finished writing or am currently writing. Exciting autumn adventures are ahead πππ.

Little Qiu is so considerate π₯ΊοΈ
Pure Text:
βQiu yanked at his rain-soaked sleeves, almost tugging himself totally off balance. He managed to peel himself out of his famous jacket.β
βThere wasnβt any talking about the man-vs-coat battle that happened in front of you. Qiu simply held his signature possession out towards you as if itβd appeared th...

Alright, we've got this month's emote poll! I'd like to replace the old-style emoji of Baxter wiping his brow with a handkerchief. We could have it still be Baxter but in the current emote artstyle or it could be someone else.
Leave a comment to let me know what age you'd want it to be for Baxter or which other character it should be.
This poll closes after the 15th

Qiu is hanging out in their ballet look for longer in Step 2, so it's getting the side pose treatment!

You're moving up in the world! Specifically, to the front rider's seat of the car, haha.

She can either be making a gift for her special valentine or she could be getting a present herself. Leave a comment to let me know if Tam should be her Step 1, 2, or 3 self.

Hello! There is a beta this month. Phew. It's coming right at the end and late in the day, but I can't even begin to explain the complicated programming the second half of Mixed Up has. I am extremely grateful to Shawna for turning my completely unrestrained scripting into something that actually functions for real, aha.
And that's not all, this beta has one more small Step 2 scene that ...

For the final month of 2024, I've got some actual reveals to share, plus some neat news about next year's Project W's posts.

I just want to let you know that I'll be taking a week off of writing and drafting for OL2, starting on the 25th and going to the 31st of December. I'll be around to answer messages, previews will continue being posted, and I'll program stuff too if there's scenes ready to go. I'll only be giving my brain an extended rest from making progress on the script. This year really ...

I told you Qiu would also have a phone pose and here it is! Their cell is plain black with a clear protective case. Qiu likes to keep their tech simple.

Tamarack has an additional pose alteration! Starting in Step 2, you can use text messages as a way to communicate non-verbally along with the original options of emoting/gesturing. If you do send her a text while you're hanging out in the same place, you'll get to see her actually pull the phone out to check.
Qiu will get this type of pose as well.

Here's another look at older concept art! The BG designer created two options for the upstairs hallway in the Lin household. The version that ended up in game was B, but both of them look great.
