I do understand the mentality don't get me wrong and I would 100% be open to a game like that but I think that's the root of it f it was a different game because would it be cool if we got a more options and could see a more intimate side to a character, Yeah it would be cool but with what GBP is doing here specifically with Our Life I think its very unlikely that itll happen since it seems like they wanna go for a more comfy/wholesome/sfw type of romance I think a good way to describe it is like a TV show marketed towards a Teenage Demographic but not really for anybody in general.I get that, I don't want to take away from people's comfort zone, if you're trying to escape from sex, angst, and reality, that's fine, nothing is wrong with that, that's the definition of Fluff, and I think this game was made with the intention of Fluff.
Where I think we differ, though, is how you view sexual situations, I don't think learning/discussing sex is perverted, I think it's as natural as talking about any other topic. I'm not looking for Teens- to go around getting busy or sexually molesting people, I'm not looking for them to start discussing which sort of birth control they prefer or who they'd rather try oral with, or something. I don't need the topic to be focused on actually arousing the viewers or the characters getting laid (of course, I'd love that, though!).
My argument is very much the same argument when the writing community complains about never seeing people go to the bathroom (I don't know if you've come across these complaints). This isn't about a toilet fetish, this is about humanizing our characters, when I say I want to see characters take a bathroom break, it's not because I have a fetish, or want to play with a toilet, it's because I'm feeling disconnected to the story, and think it's taking an unrealistic turn.

This whole situation is a very "everybody poops" scenario. Yes, I am a pervert, yes I love smut and will try everything to get it, but I don't think I'm being very unreasonable in wanting a wholesome romance story to understand that sex and reproduction can also be wholesome.
I mean, I don't think so? Sorry, I can be a little slow to other people's feelings. I don't mean to attack anybody, and I'm not upset from anything said here. I think this was a good, healthy argument, we got our opinions across, and I actually learned something about how others think. It also made me understand even more why OL didn't lean into the sex part of sexuality.
I'm pretty passionate, but I try to inject humor as much as I can, so my "no hard feelings" can translate over the internet. I also try to incorporate silly emojis, but sometimes I forget (my exclamation marks usually means I am laughing! ). Sorry, everyone, if anyone thought I was angry or offended! I'm cool with the situation.
I know they have a mature-ish 18+ untitled project (I haven't been subbed to the patreon for a few months due to adjusting my budget due to medical bills) but I don't know the progress on it.I do understand the mentality don't get me wrong and I would 100% be open to a game like that but I think that's the root of it if it was a different game because would it be cool if we got a more options and could see a more intimate side to a character, Yeah it would be cool but with what GBP is doing here specifically with Our Life I think its very unlikely that itll happen since it seems like they wanna go for a more comfy/wholesome/sfw type of romance I think a good way to describe it is like a TV show marketed towards a Teenage Demographic but not really for anybody in general like both.
Also Ill note I don't really see a problem with anything presented here like I ain't like offended or anything I actually completely understand your point of view and would like to see a game similar to what you guys have pitched I'm just trying to give an argument as to why it wont happen based off what I've witnessed while lurking in GBP Discord and just kinda the overall vibe I get with the people in there, From what I've seen more people definitely seem to be into the wholesome side than the horny stuff since I see more people obsessing with the cutesy, comfy, safe or wholeseome aspects of the game over the more saucy bits and than you have the 18+ zone which is just people being really horny for their Our Life OCs and just posting thirst art. (I don't understand it but hey whatever makes them happy I guess)
But yeah would love to see GBP handle a more mature Our Life styled game I just don't think it'll be Beginnings & Always or Now & Forever.
From what I've seen its been radio silent I think its most likely on the back burner since they're lead is juggling two games while also consistently keeping the community up to date, I will most likely post here about it if I see anything though.I know they have a mature-ish 18+ untitled project (I haven't been subbed to the patreon for a few months due to adjusting my budget due to medical bills) but I don't know the progress on it.
I completely forgot how much of a douche the different versions of Shiloh can be mostly Bucket Hat Shiloh who is a fuckboy vlogger and Leon who is Shiloh but blonde and more of a dick, Also yeah Jeremy does look a lot younger I cant really place my finger as to why though.I grabbed some pictures from the official Twitter. The full wedding dlc is complete and is under test!

I don't even think it's a case of being dense, sometimes it's just difficult to measure the tone of a conversation until someone says something that shows they're blatantly offended and you think 'whoa - where tf did that come from?'. I'm definitely on Jiffie 's wavelength here where I'm (generally) pretty careful about punctuating comments with emoji's or 'lol' to show I'm not saying something in a serious/accusing/whatever tone, because of how easily people can get offended. Except when I can't be bothered. lol.Thats why I wrote "or so I think" because I'm dense about the tone kekeke. As long this aint becoming like the body argument on the other tread, everything is cool cool.
I honestly tried to like Shiloh or find some redeeming qualities in that kid, but he's practically that guy in a group that rubs you up the wrong way regardless of what he says or does, and you can't wait to get away from. EDIT: Also, that bloody bucket hat... he still wears those stupid hats. God he's unlikable.I completely forgot how much of a douche the different versions of Shiloh can be mostly Bucket Hat Shiloh who is a fuckboy vlogger and Leon who is Shiloh but blonde and more of a dick, Also yeah Jeremy does look a lot younger I cant really place my finger as to why though.
I actually like Shiloh as a character but yeah hes a cunt hell of the 5 random Shiloh's there's only 1 good version and its the version of him that becomes an accountant and actually becomes a more honest person he still has his quirks but at least hes trying to be more genuine and likeable and if you really dislike Shiloh there's also the version that just fucking disappears and doesn't come back.I honestly tried to like Shiloh or find some redeeming qualities in that kid, but he's practically that guy in a group that rubs you up the wrong way regardless of what he says or does, and you can't wait to get away from.

As for Jeremy, I guess it's the hair. I haven't played the wedding DLC yet but I'm wondering what the thinking was behind that change - seems like quite a downgrade, and makes him look less unique as a character than his younger self.
Just a little nitpick here, but I'm a woman!I also can't have put it any better then Jiffie did in how he replied...
The reply above beat me to it, but, yeah, Jeremy wears this hair in his main game, XOXO Droplets, I think it's the art style messing with you (I felt the same), this artist is more "round" and "Thick", which amplifies "baby" qualities if they're not a long and slim square jaw sprite.As for Jeremy, I guess it's the hair.

The DLCs for Derek and Baxter don't have a release date yet. All we can say is 'sometime this year'.Will someone know when the relationship with Baxter and Dexter would come out and how the relationship with them would lead?
To add onto the person above me, there will be new 'versions' of Step 4. Since the current Step 4 is so Cove centric it wouldn't work for the other boys.Will someone know when the relationship with Baxter and Dexter would come out and how the relationship with them would lead?
As far as I know this is the completed version that their dropping before it fully releases, Its mostly just to get a few bug fixes out of the way before they officially put it on store fronts since this version has all the missing content that wasn't added in the earlier Beta build so if you dont mind running into a handful of bugs you should be good to go.^ So, now is this "everything"? I've been holding off until all content was finished, does this means it's complete, besides the Baxter and Derek DLC; I'm not interested in them, just the Cove content.
