VN Ren'Py Our Life: Now & Forever [v1.4.4 Beta] [GBPatch]

[Luunar]

Anyone else had problems downloading any game from any of the provided services?
Maybe it is because I am on Crapcast? I'm using a VPN too..

Basically I can't fully download anything as of late.

I start a download at may get 500/kbs or 1000/kbs then the download quickly drops by 50-100/kbs until it reaches 0 and fails.

Could be the VPN, especially if it's on a free service. They do throttle downloads/large streaming on some of them to encourage you to buy it, the free ones are mostly for browsing only. But even on comcast this should be okay to download as you're not torrenting/downloading anything that would get DMCA'd because it's the official download link straight from GBPatch.

Something that helped me when I was using a free vpn was clearing my dns cache. And for that, what you need to do is;
Disconnect from the vpn, open up command prompt, and type the following:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
It'll disconnect you for like 5~10 seconds at best, but after that try to reconnect to your vpn. Good luck! ♥

While we wait, what's your OL2 mc like? Curious to know what other people do.

Kinda like a mix how I was as a child and how I am now as an adult, but without the shit headed-ness of my child self and without being a fucking loser like my current self. Tho to be more specific, a nice but quiet tag along that actually knows
how socialize and gets along with others.

While we wait, what's your OL2 mc like? Curious to know what other people do.

I always go for a similar personality to my own as a kid, so a very shy and quiet goody two shoes who can at times be a bit of a doormat lol Then from pre-teen onwards I get to make her blossom into her best version rather than regressing like I did irl. It's been a while since I played the beta but I remember at some point Qiu mentioning how quiet my character was in a joking way, it was so cute.

I loved the part in the first game where the MC's moms mentioned my character was well behaved except when it came to Cove since she'd do anything he asked her to. Plus that part where Cove insists on my MC to stay with him rather than greeting Baxter (+ the fact you could chose how your mc felt about it even if you did as he wanted) so I'm looking forward to Qiu's more angsty self in chapter 2.

my character is shy and introverted and only friends with qiu and tam. She would only like doing stuff if tam or qiu were there. I am glad though that the game had a moment where Tam talked to the shopkeeper because my character was shy that was sweet of her and probably why my character has a crush on her.

Damn, the serious part of the step definitely caught me by surprise.

This moment was so good, I think Tamarak's grandpa might be my new favorite character

Am I stupid or is this the first time that warning has been there? Makes me wonder if Thomas got caught

Maybe, but it could be a warning for the people from the Kickstarter. They recently started receiving the beta (if you brought that tier) and they had to sign a nda before starting to receive it.

Anyway our heros should be careful while sharing the Patreon content from now on.

While we wait, what's your OL2 mc like? Curious to know what other people do.

- I usually play as myself, but I do have other MCs to explore the other traits and branches. The character creator is very in depth, visually.
- My MC doesn't like Ren that much, at least initially, also, Baxter is kind of someone she would want to befriend since I like the idea of one big group of friends.
- My MC is usually a bit reserved, but not exactly shy, creative and tries to always be kind. (she instantly got a crush on Qiu and found Tammy funny and chaotic, lol) What impressed me was how during Step 2 preview the short summary about our MCs is very spot on (at least for me). I already think the personality choices here are more expansive than the previous game, but we need to see more of Step 2 to confirm that.
- Step 2 short preview was great. Can't wait for more hobbies options to be added.

I believe this refers to keeping people from spoiling the game for others because they only mention screenshots/videos and talking about what happens in events of the game. There would be no way to actually trace who's posting the betas here because the zip is being downloaded from a google drive with no identifiers. Soooo, until anything like that happens I'll be happy to step up and post the links! ♡

I haven't read a lot of this thread to avoid potential spoilers, but how much of this game is there actually? Has it progressed to you and the characters being older yet? It's been cute but may wait until more of it is complete.

[Covepookiewookie]

Does anyone know how many moments are gonna be in step 1?

 

[Xerneas]

Does anyone know how many moments are gonna be in step 1?

It will be just like in the first game. 5 free moments and 5 DLC moments in steps 1, 2, and 3. Step 4 will have no moments but just be one big epilogue-y moment

do you know how they release it? when I discovered our life 1 the game was almost finished so I don't know if they released the free moments + dlc for each step first or they first released all the free content and just then did the dlcs.

I am asking bc I don't want to wait until 2025 to play step 2 I'm too excited for the angst and puppy love
