VN Ren'Py Completed Our Life: Beginnings & Always [v1.7.1 + All DLC's] [GBPatch]

[laundrylad]

I enjoyed this game far more than I had expected. It is very well-made. I wish I had more disposable income to support it officially. I only have two nit-picks to bring up:

1) MC's feelings towards Cove not fluctuating throughout the summer.

I started off the game as indifferent towards Cove and kinda expected the two to bond over time but even after several friendly moments they still treated each other as strangers which was odd to me. I would've liked it more if they could warm up to each other a little half-way or something. The opposite problem occurred in part three: The two were constantly acting lovey dovey towards another yet they couldn't become more than friends because of what I had picked at the beginning. Oops.

Our Life: Beta Build 0.95

We're putting out one more beta build before the full release and here it is! This version has errors fixed from the prior build, the final CG, and some other small additions. There's still a few little things we're working on, but this version should be practically release-quality. I hope you'll enjoy!

(Also, Cove really does look like a guy who'd be named "Cove" in that screenshot, haha. Lovely ocean man.)

Save files from the end of Step 3 will work with Step 4, but save files from the end of the prior Step 4 beta won't work. In order to play the beta without errors you'll need to go through Step 4 from its very beginning. Starting part way through will mean the new content doesn't work right.

New Content:

• After the credit sequence in Step 3 the whole of Step 4 epilogue happens. You can also skip directly to Step 4 by starting a new file
• Cove's intro CG was added
• Some small script tweaks/additions were made
• Errors were fixed from reports on the past beta

What's Missing:

• The final 'thank you for playing' image hasn't been added yet
• There's still some extra polishing needed
• Thank you for all of the feedback so far! I'm glad to see people have been enjoying the Step overall.

Thank you for sharing, and I really wish they would keep the main artist (in the screenshot above) for all CG but he/she had to work on weeding DLC before Step 4 is finished I am whining a little because the CG at the end of Step 4 isn't the same quality, so clearly a second artist like for the cut ins.

I enjoyed this game far more than I had expected. It is very well-made. I wish I had more disposable income to support it officially. I only have two nit-picks to bring up:

Yeah, the relationship system isn't dynamic, and it seems it will be the same in the future second game too because the dev asked for the third game what kind of game members wished him to do and one of the option was having a dynamic relationship system, but the game will only last 1 year.

There is a game series who has a dynamic relationship system, but you will need to play on an emulator, it's called: Tokimeki girls side where you can spend whole 3 years in high school with your LI of your choice. There is no smut in them, but you've mini-games where you touch the guy and you can see his cute reactions from skin ship lol (totally optional) If it's what interest you should then start directly with Tokimeki girls side 3. You can even have a love triangle in it with impact (I never did it, tho).

Found this little gem during Step 3 when Cove has been MC boyfriend since middle school

So barring a bit of polishing and big fixes, is this game now complete content-wise? I've been dying to play it since the end of the last step, but didn't want to be cut off partway waiting for the last bit of content.
EDIT: and my question also includes all the 18+ content - is that complete too?

 

[Ramen-]

Do they have a release date for Our Life 2 and will it be the full game at once?

Nope there is still the Derek romance, Baxter romance and the wedding dlc to be completed.

I think OL2 will have beta releases for patrons and will eventually have a full release on itch.io and steam, I'm fairly sure the dev team said that but can't remember where *shrug*

They'll probably address the derek and baxter situation in their respective dlcs, but base game wise it is.. weird. The format has always kinda been off for me. Personally not gonna play step 4 until both of their dlcs have been released since I really only like cove as a friend.

I just downloaded the main game but when I installed the DLCs I can't open up the game. Says that it got an error

You do not need to install the dlc with the base game version which is available for download in the OP it already includes the dlc. Just extract and run the main game that you downloaded.

Oh thank you so much!

1) We have a Step 4 release date: September 18th!!!

2) We are supposed to hopefully get a demo of OL2 this year. Early next year maybe. They have two separate teams working of the games so the DLCs have no affect on the second game. They want to have it out before fall ends (at least for the US fall time frame so before December) as they have always wanted it released when 'the season is right'. OL2 is fall based and thus fall release. But they will get it out when it is ready.

september 18th as in tomorrow or september 18th 2022?

 

[2B9SA2]

I'm sure they mean this year since they inform the beta testing from their side was almost done for Step 4 OL1 on their twitter

 

[Fizel]

september 18th as in tomorrow or september 18th 2022?

As in tomorrow, yes. OL:BA Step 4 is supposed to drop the 18th. (As long as the recent beta test doesn't have some game destroying bug.)

 

[Fizel]

I believe one of the main mistakes of these romance stories is that either the author doesn't have the freedom to make a real romance where there is such a thing as kissing,

The main 'issue' here is Steam, the voice actors, and parts of the game itself. Remember the game starts when Cove and MC are 8 YEARS OLD. There are voice actors who often act as children's voices plus Steam's filters. They can't be attached to a game that is rated 18+. It would ruin their careers and would never work with Steam.

 

[duccdicc]

Does the most recent version skip over the step two content for anyone else?

 

[Fizel]

Step 4 launch update: there is indeed a game breaking issue, but it's actually just Steam being a pain in the ass this time. If anyone does have a solid idea of how to fix this, please reply so someone can try and get that info to the devs. But as they said, hopefully by the end of the day!
Here's the full message from GB Patch:
There's a problem we're having with the Steam build where instead of loading the new update, it tries to launch an "EmptySteamDepot". I don't know why. It's not something we've experienced before. Perhaps we missed some kind of change to the install process and now what we've normally don't doesn't work any longer. We're going to work on fixing it, but I'm afraid for now the update isn't running. We'll do our best to figure it out before the end of the day! I'm really sorry for the delay.

Step 4 Update: The issue was fixed while I was away! The update is now safe to play on Steam.

Dlc for android?

Anyone can get the DLC for android please?

Is there a way to add the DLCs to the Android version?

is there a way to add the DLCs to the android build?

can i add the extras to android?

A good VN especially if you wanna feel appreciated (lol)



too bad the old DLCs 1 & 2 doesn't work in the newest build on Android (or maybe I did a mistake when installing the dlcs)

Can someone please help me with how to add the DLCs to Android???

Can someone please get the DLCs for Android?

How did you get the dlcs to work on Android

Can someone please share step 1&2 dlc for android i can't find it anywhere

Sorry if this was already asked in the thred, but for android devices, how do i go about putting the DLCs in the game?

Can someone share the DLCs for android?

Can someone please help me with how to add the DLCs to Android???

Hello, I'm kind of lost here, i know that the free voices android version is here, but where is the apks dlc for android? I'm only finding them for PC, somebody could share it here, please?

Unfortunately, while the following instruction works:

Download the apks for each DLC, and install each one. Once installed, it will automatically update your base game if you have it, though I didn't download the base one and just went straight to installing the Step 3 DLC. Make sure that the DLCs all have the same version number (the Step 3 DLC was updated awhile back due to bugs, and GB Patch also updated the apks for Steps 1 & 2 DLCs.) Installing all the DLCs into one game won't work if they have different version numbers, the same goes for the main game if you have it.



On some phones only 1 DLC apk is playable at a time, even if you installed all them in one go. I don't know the workaround for this problem, but I installed the DLCs on android in this order: Step 3, 2 & 1, and it works fine for me and I was able to play all DLCs in one playthrough.



I hope this works for you! ❣

The only Android DLC available in this thread is this only one, and this APK will only contain Step 3 DLC:

Step 3 dlc



Pc & Mac: Mega



Android Voiced: Mega



Android Non-Voiced: Mega

Sorry for the mass quote, but I want to notify those who are still wondering how to install the DLCs for the Android version.

You can use the PC DLC to enable the DLC on the Android version.

There's an attachment you can unzip directly to your Android device's internal storage, but if that's not working for whatever reason, the following step-by-step instructions below should work as well.

First download the free version from the official web page:

Then find the DLCs on the first page of this thread, download all three of them.
