Happy three year anniversary to doing these Patreon Q&As! It's a big one, phew.
OL2: Tamarack Step 2 CG (Sketch) (Patreon)
Tamarack is hard at work! Someone's gotta keep those leaves from getting out of line.
I actually found it a bit hard to choose the CG scenes for Step 2. I wasn't sure if I should have them happen under similar circumstances as Step 1 or put them in different types of Moments. I went with the latter. A lot of planning for Step 2 was me going back and forth on how I wanted to keep the Moment tone spread similar and different from Step 1. Hopefully what I came up with keeps things interesting.

The end of Step 1 and the beginning of Step 2 will be marked by this image. The days are falling away like autumn leaves

OL2: Choice Tracking Feature! (Patreon)
I'm excited to announce that Our Life: Now & Forever has a new feature! Shawna has created a system that tracks choices you've made in prior playthroughs and shows which character made that choice! It's super cool and convenient.
You just turn it on in the new settings screen (I showed a preview of that last week) and then look for the little star next to choices (on Android you'll need to press and hold the choice to get the character info since you can't hover over it with a mouse). Amazing ✨
This is already available in the beta build. When the demo is updated in fall, all players will be able to try it out.
This system can't track playthroughs that happened before the feature was added. So, any beta or demo save file you did prior won't be counted. However, any future playthroughs in the beta or the updated demo will keep being tracked even in the finished game.
OL2: Thrift Store BG (Step 1)
The local thrift store is finished in its secondhand glory! Step 1 still needs a handful of background alterations, but this is the final location that is completely new. That whole period is nearly finished from top to bottom (excluding potential player suggestions and such).
