I love love love this game!! I seriously keep finding excuses to replay the demo please help
I do have a question about the release date? On steam it says September while on itch.io it says Summer 2020? :0 I'm plenty happy waiting for the game to be it's best, but I really would like to know when to expect it gotta clear my schedule. And the DLC comes out on release day too, correct? At least for Cove's extra moments? Thank you!!
:D! Thank you. I'm so glad the demo has replay value for you.
The month of September is when summer officially ends where we are, so that's the latest month the game will potentially come out in. We'll announce the exact release day soon! And yeah, three Cove DLCs will also be available on launch.
I downloaded this game a while ago,, and I can't say how excited I am for the release! It's probably, if not, the best game I've tried out here. Keep up the great work!
I swear to God that this game makes me nostaligc about a past romance and about an old childhood friend I never had.
I can´t wait for it to be released and completed! I love the fact that this game is so inmersive that it literally reminds me of my summer`s childhood and it makes me cry so hard becuase I miss being that age...
This game is just wonderful. You are a doing a great job. Please, keep up the good work because we are totally cheering for you and your team! Thank you for this <3
This is one of my favorite games on this site (and in general). I love how the choiches affect the story and the ability to customize your character. This is one of the first games I found on Itch.io and the big reason I created my account. I can't wait until the game is finished and would (when I have the money) buy the DLC for this game.
10/10 I just can't describe with words how much I love this game! Keep up the good work GBPatch!
P.S. I have already replayed the game multiple times, which is very rare for me to do.
I must say, this demo is amazing! I love that I chose to be a girl called Marina, then picked the option to say "Wow. Cove's dad is obsessed with water!" XD. I also love that I chose for her to have blue hair and yellow eyes (like the sea and sun; I love my symbolism) and Cove so happened to say he likes blue and yellow. Coincidence? (I hope not!)
I adore the exploration of the various stages of a relationship and the lasting inpact you can have on a person; those themes haven't been represented in such depth in games before. It's great that Cove remembers what you tell him too, very sweet. ("I thought you couldn't own a hill." I'm such a great influence! :D)
I loved going from childhood friendship to awkward teen crush, so cute! I was hoping to get him to open up more; I made sure to be extroverted, but he still seemed to be quite shy. I think I was too nice and not rebellious enough the first time. Figuring out the mystery behind how your choices affect Cove makes for great replayability, and it's exciting to see the various versions of him and his personality come into effect.
I was wondering will the soundtrack and artbook be available to purchase once the game launches or are they only available through becoming a patron? I was thinking about becoming one anyway because I'd love to play the beta and support this amazing project. Looking forward to this, as well as Now and Forever too. Couldn't recommend it enough, thank you so much for making this! :D
The artbook and soundtrack will be available after the game releases. But right now they're not available through any means, including the Patreon. But the Patreon does have the beta and sneak peeks into what we're working on. I appreciate the interest in supporting us. Thank you again <3
I loved the demo for this game. I can't wait until the full thing releases. Such a cute game.
Having the love interest change based on our decisions is such a neat mechanic, I don't know of any other games that do this. I can already tell this game will be a release day purchase for all the dlc's.
I'm really excited for the finished game! I played the first demo the day it came out last year and I was really pleased with it! From that point on I have been playing it over and over again. I seriously can't get enough of it! The idea behind it, the story, the characters, the artwork, everything is spot-on! I'm not one to buy games, but I certainly will pay for this one! About that, I have a quick question: could you give me an estimate of how much the finished game along with all the DLCs is going to cost? I'm curious, though it doesn't really matter that much since I'll be buying it either way. Thank you very much for your hard work! <3
Thank you! I really appreciate you giving it a try and then replaying it and wanting to support it. That's so nice <3.
Getting the DLCs that unlock all the Moments listed for the main Steps will be around $12USD. Getting all the DLCs we have planned, including the ones that add new love interests and stuff outside the normal Moments will be around $25USD. But that's at full price. There will be sales and bundle discounts to reduce the amount.
i always seem to come back to this demo to see the recent updates and i'm so excited to see that a beta has been released(i'm going to probably play through it tomorrow)!! i hope you guys actually do reopen the voiced name entries because i have a feeling nobody has the name kaya lol. i just know this game will come out beautiful though! ♥ ♥ ♥
Aw, thank you! Yeah, I checked the list and "Kaya" isn't an option currently. I'm sorry. But we'll definitely try our best to make it available somehow at least once more time. It's just tricky to do because the name has to be done for multiple time periods in different voices. aha.
sooo can I still donate to get my name (voiced) into the game? :> Cus I've seen Mary on some of the screenshots, but not Maria, and it's kind of a big difference for me haha... (also if somehow Maria is already on the list of voiced names, I'll just go and subscribe to your patreon ^^)
Thank you for taking an interest in that and wanting to support us! Unfortunately, we're not adding more names currently. We might reopen it up on a small scale at some point or do a giveaway with that as a prize. But for now it's not possible to get a brand new name added. However, I can tell you that "Maria" is already one of the names that's been done, you can expect to see it when the Voiced Name feature is fully released ^^.
Thank you!! <3 I now have all the reasons to subscribe to your Patreon for the sweet beta version ( AND especially since the last goal is soooo tempting!)
So in my last playthrough, in version 2.0, I got Cove to be athletic, and now in my newest playthrough, I got Cove to be academic. I played both playthroughs about the same. Any idea on how it happened? And if there's any way to know the outcome of my choices in that sense? I really want to get athletic Cove once again (what could be better than a cute and shy athlete??). Thanks in advance!
There was some retooling to the point system in the update. The tweaks made, plus all the new opportunities to influence Cove in the new content, means that it is possible to get a different result than before.
But there will be further changes and chances to influence him in the future, so it's not over for your shy athlete yet!
The full game will also have a Cove Creator where you can just directly pick his traits. How choices impact him will remain a bit of an enigma, though.
Yeah, we hope to have Steps 1-3 of Our Life and some of the DLCs out by summer (August or September) and then more DLCs/Step 4 will be released over time.
Aha, I just realised that the Shiloh in this game is the one from XOXO droplets! now i feel kind of stupid because i've been playing xoxo droplets the entire day LOL keep up the good work!
Yep! Both Shiloh and Jeremy make appearances in this game so far (my two favorite characters from XOXO Droplets, though I'm ashamed to admit I didn't recognize Jeremy when he showed up here).
omg, i didn't even think about the fact that that was Jeremy. his hairstyle was so familiar, but I just kept thinking of Cove. i guess he barely changed in personality but he really upgraded from that bowl cut.
Actually, the main reason I didn't recognize him was his personality changed so much. I was used to him being 'Whatever, I don't care' in XOXO Droplets, so seeing him as an insufferable angry twerp here was pretty jarring. It's nice to see how he's grown, though. xD
Yes, I love all the new little additions and changes to the demo. I imagine my Hunter as the smiling, playful, friendly basketball boy that's popular but totally snaps if someone tries to hurt Cove. Aka, thank you for the mean boy moment. My Hunter was ready to throw down on that kid! Thank god for cooler headed Derek and Cove. Definitely a perfect moment for my head-cannon. Hopefully there's more chances for that in the final version (or keep that moment in the final, cause yes...totally imagining Derek and Cove restraining my hothead as he yells threats at bowl-cut boy). xD
Hopefully since its a demo, not all the voiced names are in. Cause I didn't see Hunter on the list. But it IS the demo. =P
God, why must the wait be so painful? This is really turning into a great gem and Cove is forever best boy. Thank you guys so much for this game and the effort you are putting into it. Stay safe and healthy!
Nice to hear the new options are going over well! Hunter seems great, haha.
There's gonna be around 700 names in the full version. We just don't want to make the demo download really big so brand new players don't pass over it. The complete version will have the voiced name feature as a free DLC, again to keep the regular download from being extra large. Also, I checked the full list and Hunter is one of the options~
Sweet. I figured as much, but I confess that I did check my kickstarter to make sure I'd done the survey right. ^^'
Yeah, I loved all the small new details and added script. Even Derek is pretty adorable and meshes almost perfectly with my Hunter and Cove. And yeah, you don't bully Cove. Hunter became his knight the moment they first met on the hilltop. (cause I just find the idea of antisocial Cove being hugged and dragged around everywhere by my OC just adorable for that age. Also yelling stranger danger at his dad. xD)

Thank you for the report! We uploaded a new Mac build that should hopefully fix the error. You'll likely need to start a new file and not reload the one you currently have, unfortunately.
This may be the biggest game I'm anticipating for 2020!! I played the demo a while back and I immediately adored it. GBPatch never ceases to amaze me!! Thank you for your hard work at such an amazing game, GBPatch!
Aw, thank you for saying that! We're thrilled to hear you're looking forward to the game. We'll keeping working away at it to get it finished for everybody ^^
The DLCs will cost between $3-$5USD each, depending on what type of DLC it is. The most expensive DLCs are the ones that add an additional romance story with a different character (Derek or Baxter), the less expensive ones just unlock more content with Cove.
When I was playing this kept popping up whenever I had to choose some dialog when talking to Lee. Not sure if someone else had already brought it up, but just shedding some light to this error.

Thanks for the report! It's already been fixed ^^. Please download the current file or, if you prefer, you can get through the scene in the current file by turning animations off on the config screen.
Hi, GBPatch devs! I absolutely adore your work and can't wait for the full game! I just downloaded the updated demo but the section with Lee is causing me some problems. It keeps throwing an exception error and I'm not sure if the problem is on my end or if it's an issue in the demo. Here's the message it keeps displaying, hope you guys can look over.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thank you so much for the report and the kind words. It's fixed :D. You can download the updated file, or it's possible to get through the scene by turning animations off on the config screen.
I really have something to look forward to this summer!I already feel the love and time that have been put into these characters and story. Super excited to start supporting this game and the creators! Im already head over heels for cove!
Ahhhhh I love this! The art- Amazing (how is everybody so gorgeous?!) Story- Beautiful (I was dying of cuteness during the entire demo) Gameplay- Just, perfect! There was actual interaction; There were enough choices so that I'd feel like what I picked actually made a difference in the story! I. Just. Loved. This. I NEED the full game, NOW (please)!
Do you have an idea of when the game will be finished and released? And will it be free upon release? Either way, this demo was amazing. Amazing work!!
P.S. If you have the resources to create something as amazing as this then please create a real-life Cove for me he's too perfect to be stuck behind a screen k thanks <3<3<3<3<3<3<3
P.P.S. Will there be other routes, or will it just be Cove? I don't mind if it's just Cove, just curious. Also, will jealous Cove be a thing because I think it'd be adorable if you'd do certain interactions with other characters (e.g. Sharing the fruits from the fruit bouquet that Y/n gets at the beginning of part two, despite the fact that it was "a gift from Cove's father to the L/n family to wish a happy summer" with Derek, or (an)other character(s), I just think it'd be perfect!
Thank you ;v;. That's all really nice of you to say. We're thrilled you enjoyed the game.
The initial release is planned for this summer, but extra content will continue to be added throughout the rest of the year. The base version of the game will be free, the extra content will be commercial DLCs. There will be other, optional, routes; Derek Suarez and Baxter Ward. Those routes will be coming out later on and they'll be commercial. Cove can get jealous a bit, but losing the MC's attention generally just makes him sad rather envious.
The incomplete beta build that's available on our Patreon won't be released here. But all the game's content will be released here this summer when it's fully complete!
I had the game for a day, and I've already played it four times. Can't wait for the full release! I have a question though, will the game be free when it's fully released? Also, good luck with it! You must've put so much effort in it :)
Aw, that's great! It's good to hear the demo is worth replaying ^^. Our Life will be free-to-play when it comes out, though there will be optional DLCs people can buy to add more content. But you'll still be able to beat the game without purchasing anything.
I love the demo! The game seems sweet so far and I love the customization for the main character (as a nonbinary person it always makes me so happy when I can play as a nonbinary character). I can't wait for the full release!
It's awesome! I thought of a suggestion for something to add to the customization, if that's okay? Maybe hearing aids? Though I understand if you don't want to add them or are past the point of being able to! But I've never seen any characters in visual novels who wear them and it would be nice to be able to wear them as the MC (I'm biased though bc I myself wear hearing aids lol).
Thank you for the the suggestion! Right now there's not really time to expand the character creation screen further. But we can keep it in mind for post-release expansions of the game. Even then I can't 100% guarantee we'll be able to make the art and script additions that'd be needed for hearing aids to be properly implemented as a option for the MC, however we'll look into it as best we can :D.
That's okay! I figured that you were probably too far along to add it. <3 Thank you for considering it anyways! I'm excited to play the next updated demo!
Oh man I really enjoyed this game, the characters are cute, the art is amazing and the story is just so good. I want to continue playing but ugh full game is not out yet and checked steam says august 29th, so long away ;( Can it please come quicker. Anyways amazing work on this you did a fabulous job, is there anyway i can play full game quicker I am too excited to not play it XD I played twice once as a shy girl, and shy crush, the next as a girl that says whats on her mind, and the max level of crush, it made him more open towards others which is kinda cute XD.
I'm so glad you liked it ^^! You can play more of the game right now by supporting us on Patreon for $1USD or more. It's paid on a per-month basis, so if you are interested it'd be a better deal to join at the start of April instead of the end of March. We're also planning on updating the free-to-play demo with new content somewhat soon.
The DLCs will be available to buy and then play once the game has come out in summer.
Thank you! We'll do our best to make the game worth the wait <3.
o cool, I will do the patreon thing. How often do you update the game for there? cos this game is so fun to play and i am adoring the characters(not so much the mean dude) also another question i played the other game XOXO droplets and i noticed a few of them appear, the mean guy and the freckle guy, are they the same people? do any others appear.
Thank you for supporting us :D! The $1 bonus demo doesn't get updated, but the full sized beta is updated every month.
And yep, Shiloh and Jeremy in Our Life are the same Shiloh and Jeremy in XOXO Droplets. There's not really more cameo characters other than those two, though.
Funnily enough, I live in a small seaside town too and I absolutely adore this game! My friends have been begging me to come with them to the beach this summer, but this game is way too adorable and precious for me to abandon!
I am suuuuuuper excited for this adorably amazing game! I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the full release. If this gets done in time for my bday in decemeber I know what I am doing on my vacation!
I'm so happy you're looking forward it! We're going to release the first three Steps this summer and the fourth Step should be out before the end of the year ^^.

I'm really into Cove~~~
;)
I love love love this game!! I seriously keep finding excuses to replay the demo please help
I do have a question about the release date? On steam it says September while on itch.io it says Summer 2020? :0 I'm plenty happy waiting for the game to be it's best, but I really would like to know when to expect it
gotta clear my schedule.And the DLC comes out on release day too, correct? At least for Cove's extra moments? Thank you!!:D! Thank you. I'm so glad the demo has replay value for you.
The month of September is when summer officially ends where we are, so that's the latest month the game will potentially come out in. We'll announce the exact release day soon! And yeah, three Cove DLCs will also be available on launch.
I downloaded this game a while ago,, and I can't say how excited I am for the release! It's probably, if not, the best game I've tried out here. Keep up the great work!
That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you <3
I swear to God that this game makes me nostaligc about a past romance and about an old childhood friend I never had.
I can´t wait for it to be released and completed! I love the fact that this game is so inmersive that it literally reminds me of my summer`s childhood and it makes me cry so hard becuase I miss being that age...
This game is just wonderful. You are a doing a great job. Please, keep up the good work because we are totally cheering for you and your team! Thank you for this <3
Besides, why is everyone so damn cute in this game? I be cheating on my boyfriend with this game, I swear-
Thank you so much ;v;. We really tried our best to capture those pleasant summertime feels and I'm thrilled that they came across for you.
Also, yes, the sprite artist is too good at making everyone cute, haha.
This is one of my favorite games on this site (and in general). I love how the choiches affect the story and the ability to customize your character. This is one of the first games I found on Itch.io and the big reason I created my account. I can't wait until the game is finished and would (when I have the money) buy the DLC for this game.
10/10 I just can't describe with words how much I love this game! Keep up the good work GBPatch!
P.S. I have already replayed the game multiple times, which is very rare for me to do.
Thank you <3 <3! It's fantastic to know that the game is worth replaying for you. We'll do our very best with the finished version.
i made an account just to leave a comment on this, i cant wait until the full game is out, thank you for your hard work!!
Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed it that much ^^! Thank you for the comment.
i have been replaying the demo since the start of the year and love it so much! <3 cant wait for the full release :) keep up the good work!!<3
Aw, that's wonderful. I'm happy it's worth replaying :D. We'll do our best with the rest of the game.
This game is so cute! I absolutely love the art style! I can't wait until the full game is out :3
Thank you very much :D
Thank you <3
This is a super cool idea! Can't wait for it to be fully released!
Thank you ^^!
I must say, this demo is amazing! I love that I chose to be a girl called Marina, then picked the option to say "Wow. Cove's dad is obsessed with water!" XD. I also love that I chose for her to have blue hair and yellow eyes (like the sea and sun; I love my symbolism) and Cove so happened to say he likes blue and yellow. Coincidence? (I hope not!)
I adore the exploration of the various stages of a relationship and the lasting inpact you can have on a person; those themes haven't been represented in such depth in games before. It's great that Cove remembers what you tell him too, very sweet. ("I thought you couldn't own a hill." I'm such a great influence! :D)
I loved going from childhood friendship to awkward teen crush, so cute! I was hoping to get him to open up more; I made sure to be extroverted, but he still seemed to be quite shy. I think I was too nice and not rebellious enough the first time. Figuring out the mystery behind how your choices affect Cove makes for great replayability, and it's exciting to see the various versions of him and his personality come into effect.
I was wondering will the soundtrack and artbook be available to purchase once the game launches or are they only available through becoming a patron? I was thinking about becoming one anyway because I'd love to play the beta and support this amazing project. Looking forward to this, as well as Now and Forever too. Couldn't recommend it enough, thank you so much for making this! :D
Wow, thank you very much for all the kind words!
The artbook and soundtrack will be available after the game releases. But right now they're not available through any means, including the Patreon. But the Patreon does have the beta and sneak peeks into what we're working on. I appreciate the interest in supporting us. Thank you again <3
Hopefully this pandemic doesn't postpone the release
We'll do our best! So far we're still on track to release it at the end of summer :).
Thats good news
I loved the demo for this game. I can't wait until the full thing releases. Such a cute game.
Having the love interest change based on our decisions is such a neat mechanic, I don't know of any other games that do this. I can already tell this game will be a release day purchase for all the dlc's.
Thank you so much for all of that! It's great to hear you enjoyed the content and appreciate the concept :D
I'm really excited for the finished game! I played the first demo the day it came out last year and I was really pleased with it! From that point on I have been playing it over and over again. I seriously can't get enough of it! The idea behind it, the story, the characters, the artwork, everything is spot-on! I'm not one to buy games, but I certainly will pay for this one! About that, I have a quick question: could you give me an estimate of how much the finished game along with all the DLCs is going to cost? I'm curious, though it doesn't really matter that much since I'll be buying it either way. Thank you very much for your hard work! <3
Thank you! I really appreciate you giving it a try and then replaying it and wanting to support it. That's so nice <3.
Getting the DLCs that unlock all the Moments listed for the main Steps will be around $12USD. Getting all the DLCs we have planned, including the ones that add new love interests and stuff outside the normal Moments will be around $25USD. But that's at full price. There will be sales and bundle discounts to reduce the amount.
Thank you!<3
i always seem to come back to this demo to see the recent updates and i'm so excited to see that a beta has been released(i'm going to probably play through it tomorrow)!! i hope you guys actually do reopen the voiced name entries because i have a feeling nobody has the name kaya lol. i just know this game will come out beautiful though! ♥ ♥ ♥
Aw, thank you! Yeah, I checked the list and "Kaya" isn't an option currently. I'm sorry. But we'll definitely try our best to make it available somehow at least once more time. It's just tricky to do because the name has to be done for multiple time periods in different voices. aha.
sooo can I still donate to get my name (voiced) into the game? :> Cus I've seen Mary on some of the screenshots, but not Maria, and it's kind of a big difference for me haha... (also if somehow Maria is already on the list of voiced names, I'll just go and subscribe to your patreon ^^)
Thank you for taking an interest in that and wanting to support us! Unfortunately, we're not adding more names currently. We might reopen it up on a small scale at some point or do a giveaway with that as a prize. But for now it's not possible to get a brand new name added. However, I can tell you that "Maria" is already one of the names that's been done, you can expect to see it when the Voiced Name feature is fully released ^^.
Thank you!! <3 I now have all the reasons to subscribe to your Patreon for the sweet beta version ( AND especially since the last goal is soooo tempting!)
Thanks so much ;v;. And agreed, haha. I hope we reach that goal.
Will game cost any money or it will be free?
It will be free with optional paid DLCs ^^
I'm sorry, we aren't able to consider translating it right now. Maybe at some point in the future we'll be in a position to try translating it!
I love this game SO much! I can't wait until the full release! :D
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome! 💕
So in my last playthrough, in version 2.0, I got Cove to be athletic, and now in my newest playthrough, I got Cove to be academic. I played both playthroughs about the same. Any idea on how it happened? And if there's any way to know the outcome of my choices in that sense? I really want to get athletic Cove once again (what could be better than a cute and shy athlete??). Thanks in advance!
There was some retooling to the point system in the update. The tweaks made, plus all the new opportunities to influence Cove in the new content, means that it is possible to get a different result than before.
But there will be further changes and chances to influence him in the future, so it's not over for your shy athlete yet!
The full game will also have a Cove Creator where you can just directly pick his traits. How choices impact him will remain a bit of an enigma, though.
Thanks for the explanation!
No problem!
I needed to ask this because I can't get patreon, is the beta ever going to be on itch.io?
The beta won't be available here, I'm sorry to say, To get it on Itch, players will have to wait until we release the completed version this summer.
Oh! Just to ask after reading this comment, is that the hesitant date that you guys think Our Life will be finished around?
Yeah, we hope to have Steps 1-3 of Our Life and some of the DLCs out by summer (August or September) and then more DLCs/Step 4 will be released over time.
Okay, thank you for clarifying!
No problem :D
Aha, I just realised that the Shiloh in this game is the one from XOXO droplets! now i feel kind of stupid because i've been playing xoxo droplets the entire day LOL keep up the good work!
Yep! Both Shiloh and Jeremy make appearances in this game so far (my two favorite characters from XOXO Droplets, though I'm ashamed to admit I didn't recognize Jeremy when he showed up here).
Aw, I'm happy to hear you like those boys ^^! And I think most people would barely recognize Jeremy if they saw him as a kid, haha.
omg, i didn't even think about the fact that that was Jeremy. his hairstyle was so familiar, but I just kept thinking of Cove. i guess he barely changed in personality but he really upgraded from that bowl cut.
Actually, the main reason I didn't recognize him was his personality changed so much. I was used to him being 'Whatever, I don't care' in XOXO Droplets, so seeing him as an insufferable angry twerp here was pretty jarring. It's nice to see how he's grown, though. xD
Jeremy has had a lot of personality development. Not sure if it's better, but it's definitely different, haha.
Well, I for one definitely like the older Jeremy better! xD
Yeah, he's really come a long way with his look, haha.
Haha, it's understandable. It's pretty unexpected to have a sudden cross-over like that. Thank you for the nice message :D
Yes, I love all the new little additions and changes to the demo. I imagine my Hunter as the smiling, playful, friendly basketball boy that's popular but totally snaps if someone tries to hurt Cove. Aka, thank you for the mean boy moment. My Hunter was ready to throw down on that kid! Thank god for cooler headed Derek and Cove. Definitely a perfect moment for my head-cannon. Hopefully there's more chances for that in the final version (or keep that moment in the final, cause yes...totally imagining Derek and Cove restraining my hothead as he yells threats at bowl-cut boy). xD
Hopefully since its a demo, not all the voiced names are in. Cause I didn't see Hunter on the list. But it IS the demo. =P
God, why must the wait be so painful? This is really turning into a great gem and Cove is forever best boy. Thank you guys so much for this game and the effort you are putting into it. Stay safe and healthy!
Nice to hear the new options are going over well! Hunter seems great, haha.
There's gonna be around 700 names in the full version. We just don't want to make the demo download really big so brand new players don't pass over it. The complete version will have the voiced name feature as a free DLC, again to keep the regular download from being extra large. Also, I checked the full list and Hunter is one of the options~
Thank you for the kind words <3
Sweet. I figured as much, but I confess that I did check my kickstarter to make sure I'd done the survey right. ^^'
Yeah, I loved all the small new details and added script. Even Derek is pretty adorable and meshes almost perfectly with my Hunter and Cove. And yeah, you don't bully Cove. Hunter became his knight the moment they first met on the hilltop. (cause I just find the idea of antisocial Cove being hugged and dragged around everywhere by my OC just adorable for that age. Also yelling stranger danger at his dad. xD)
Thank you guys again for this wonderful game. <3
Haha, yeah, it should be all good with the name.
And that's really sweet that your MC takes care of Cove. Thank you for all the support :D

Thank you for the report! We uploaded a new Mac build that should hopefully fix the error. You'll likely need to start a new file and not reload the one you currently have, unfortunately.
Thanks!
This may be the biggest game I'm anticipating for 2020!! I played the demo a while back and I immediately adored it. GBPatch never ceases to amaze me!! Thank you for your hard work at such an amazing game, GBPatch!
Aw, thank you for saying that! We're thrilled to hear you're looking forward to the game. We'll keeping working away at it to get it finished for everybody ^^
Hello there! I'm really looking forward to the game. I just have to ask; how much will the DLCs cost?
The DLCs will cost between $3-$5USD each, depending on what type of DLC it is. The most expensive DLCs are the ones that add an additional romance story with a different character (Derek or Baxter), the less expensive ones just unlock more content with Cove.
Small typo found on the latest version, during the Firefly event:
"(Name) is just mad ecause I always catch the most."
It's missing a b, and the e has the umlauts (two dots over it) instead.
Thank you for the report! We'll fix it for future builds :D
When I was playing this kept popping up whenever I had to choose some dialog when talking to Lee. Not sure if someone else had already brought it up, but just shedding some light to this error.

Thanks for the report! It's already been fixed ^^. Please download the current file or, if you prefer, you can get through the scene in the current file by turning animations off on the config screen.
Hi, GBPatch devs! I absolutely adore your work and can't wait for the full game! I just downloaded the updated demo but the section with Lee is causing me some problems. It keeps throwing an exception error and I'm not sure if the problem is on my end or if it's an issue in the demo. Here's the message it keeps displaying, hope you guys can look over.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thank you so much for the report and the kind words. It's fixed :D. You can download the updated file, or it's possible to get through the scene by turning animations off on the config screen.
Thank you for your quick reply! I'll be sure re-download the demo! Hope you guys are staying safe and good luck on your development :)
No problem ^^! We're doing okay and I hope you are, too.
I really have something to look forward to this summer!I already feel the love and time that have been put into these characters and story. Super excited to start supporting this game and the creators! Im already head over heels for cove!
Thank you so much <3! We're happy all the effort was worth it and that you like Cove. We'll keep doing our best with the full version.
Ahhhhh I love this! The art- Amazing (how is everybody so gorgeous?!) Story- Beautiful (I was dying of cuteness during the entire demo) Gameplay- Just, perfect! There was actual interaction; There were enough choices so that I'd feel like what I picked actually made a difference in the story! I. Just. Loved. This. I NEED the full game, NOW (please)!
Do you have an idea of when the game will be finished and released? And will it be free upon release? Either way, this demo was amazing. Amazing work!!
P.S. If you have the resources to create something as amazing as this then please create a real-life Cove for me he's too perfect to be stuck behind a screen k thanks <3<3<3<3<3<3<3
P.P.S. Will there be other routes, or will it just be Cove? I don't mind if it's just Cove, just curious. Also, will jealous Cove be a thing because I think it'd be adorable if you'd do certain interactions with other characters (e.g. Sharing the fruits from the fruit bouquet that Y/n gets at the beginning of part two, despite the fact that it was "a gift from Cove's father to the L/n family to wish a happy summer" with Derek, or (an)other character(s), I just think it'd be perfect!
Again- Amazing work for just a demo!
<3
Thank you ;v;. That's all really nice of you to say. We're thrilled you enjoyed the game.
The initial release is planned for this summer, but extra content will continue to be added throughout the rest of the year. The base version of the game will be free, the extra content will be commercial DLCs. There will be other, optional, routes; Derek Suarez and Baxter Ward. Those routes will be coming out later on and they'll be commercial. Cove can get jealous a bit, but losing the MC's attention generally just makes him sad rather envious.
Thank you again for the kind comment <3
The actualization that you put un patreon are only there ir you put it here to?
The incomplete beta build that's available on our Patreon won't be released here. But all the game's content will be released here this summer when it's fully complete!
ok, tanks a Lot!
No problem c:
I had the game for a day, and I've already played it four times. Can't wait for the full release! I have a question though, will the game be free when it's fully released? Also, good luck with it! You must've put so much effort in it :)
Aw, that's great! It's good to hear the demo is worth replaying ^^. Our Life will be free-to-play when it comes out, though there will be optional DLCs people can buy to add more content. But you'll still be able to beat the game without purchasing anything.
AHHHH I REALLY LOVE THE DEMO!!! cant wait for it to be fully released!!!!!!! Your games are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you <3 <3! I'm so happy you liked it.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy playing the demo. I don't know how many times I've played it over and over again. :)
Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the full release!
Aw, I'm super glad the demo feels worth replaying and you enjoyed it that much. We're doing our best with the rest of game!
I love the demo! The game seems sweet so far and I love the customization for the main character (as a nonbinary person it always makes me so happy when I can play as a nonbinary character). I can't wait for the full release!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it ^^! And it's great to hear the customization feature was good for you. We're happy to have everybody feel included.
It's awesome! I thought of a suggestion for something to add to the customization, if that's okay? Maybe hearing aids? Though I understand if you don't want to add them or are past the point of being able to! But I've never seen any characters in visual novels who wear them and it would be nice to be able to wear them as the MC (I'm biased though bc I myself wear hearing aids lol).
Thank you for the the suggestion! Right now there's not really time to expand the character creation screen further. But we can keep it in mind for post-release expansions of the game. Even then I can't 100% guarantee we'll be able to make the art and script additions that'd be needed for hearing aids to be properly implemented as a option for the MC, however we'll look into it as best we can :D.
That's okay! I figured that you were probably too far along to add it. <3 Thank you for considering it anyways! I'm excited to play the next updated demo!
Thanks for understanding ^^. We'll do our best to have the game be worth the wait.
Oh man I really enjoyed this game, the characters are cute, the art is amazing and the story is just so good. I want to continue playing but ugh full game is not out yet and checked steam says august 29th, so long away
;( Can it please come quicker. Anyways amazing work on this you did a fabulous job, is there anyway i can play full game quicker I am too excited to not play it XD I played twice once as a shy girl, and shy crush, the next as a girl that says whats on her mind, and the max level of crush, it made him more open towards others which is kinda cute XD.
Also how do I play the DLC stuff.
I'm so glad you liked it ^^! You can play more of the game right now by supporting us on Patreon for $1USD or more. It's paid on a per-month basis, so if you are interested it'd be a better deal to join at the start of April instead of the end of March. We're also planning on updating the free-to-play demo with new content somewhat soon.
The DLCs will be available to buy and then play once the game has come out in summer.
Thank you! We'll do our best to make the game worth the wait <3.
o cool, I will do the patreon thing. How often do you update the game for there? cos this game is so fun to play and i am adoring the characters(not so much the mean dude) also another question i played the other game XOXO droplets and i noticed a few of them appear, the mean guy and the freckle guy, are they the same people? do any others appear.
Thank you for supporting us :D! The $1 bonus demo doesn't get updated, but the full sized beta is updated every month.
And yep, Shiloh and Jeremy in Our Life are the same Shiloh and Jeremy in XOXO Droplets. There's not really more cameo characters other than those two, though.
I'm really enjoying the demo so far! I'm definitely looking forward to the full game!🥰
Thank you so much <3!
Funnily enough, I live in a small seaside town too and I absolutely adore this game! My friends have been begging me to come with them to the beach this summer, but this game is way too adorable and precious for me to abandon!
Haha, that's really nice of you to say <3. It's flattering that OL rivals going to the real beach in terms of enjoyment!
I am suuuuuuper excited for this adorably amazing game! I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the full release. If this gets done in time for my bday in decemeber I know what I am doing on my vacation!
I'm so happy you're looking forward it! We're going to release the first three Steps this summer and the fourth Step should be out before the end of the year ^^.
