See, you get it. My MC is gonna marry Tamarack, that's for sure, but not before making her head explode from jealously.Correct, in fact in favor of my own story i sometimes savescum, either for jealousy drama (that's always gonna be golden) or for pulling these two idiots together against their will
Is this game going to be on steam eventually? I will definitely buy this

(click for full view)OL2: Linked Moment Opening Script Preview
Here's the reveal of the linked Moments in Step 2! Will you vote to have time off before facing school tests? Or will you do the hard work first and take it easy afterwards? It's up to you! And I suggest trying both ways once those Moments are released.
Pure Text:
mr_m “Ready to listen? Good! The fun-raiser study-a-thon will happen during school hours, in combination with a pajama day theme.”
mr_m “You’ll get to grab your books, pack a sleeping bag, and wear your most comfortable clothes for a whole entire day of free study.”
mr_m “Classes that are involved get to take over the library; everyone not doing it will have to stay out. And you’ll earn funding for your favorite school to boot.”
mr_m “Go with friends! Make a study buddy group. Share subject tips and gossip. Just remember to have some money to cover the cost.”
“What a salesman. He was racking up new sources of income, for sure. How would he be a teacher again, though? [Who could focus on class after that?!/You couldn’t imagine people would focus on class after that.]” #if dislikes school or doesn’t study or neither
mr_m “Now remember, the entire school can’t do it at once. We’ve got to decide the day people in my homeroom, and other classes, have a turn.”
mr_m “Before you ask, “why does that matter?”, I’ll tell you. It could be sooner, or it could be later.”
““As soon as possible” and a half-joking “Could it be today?” were the top suggestions from around the room.”
mr_m “We could put it in motion right away. It’d be good to give you plenty of time to study before the first major tests of the semester.”
“[No./Of course.] That’s how you take the fun out of “fun-raiser” and get people to think of school again- reminding ninth graders about upcoming standardized testing.” #if dislikes school/studying/bad at school and feels bad or not
“Mr. Murray walked from one side of the front to the other. He had the space and the quiet for a little stroll.”
mr_m “You should do fine, if you make the most of several extra hours of studying.”
mr_m “But is that what you want? Starter quizzes are good for figuring out where you’re at. You’ve got a long year of testing ahead!”
mr_m “Having a set of grades in hand could guide your choices during the study-a-thon; sails on the wild seas of free time.”
if cares about doing well in school or feels bad that they don’t do well:
“The [pressure/pain] was real! Mr. Murray, have mercy!” # if cares about doing well in school or feels bad that they don’t do well
#####
mr_m “It will be up to you! We’re taking a vote.”
mr_m “You’ve got, oh, ten minutes to think and talk amongst yourselves, then our homeroom will vote.”
mr_m “I’ll add up the results with the rest of the teachers later. The different group dates will be announced by the end of school, today.”
“After encouraging so much audience participation, a single soul spoke up at the end of his announcement. They asked if you had to wear PJs in order to get out of class.”
mr_m “Yes! That’s what you’re signing up for. No fancy-pants will be admitted.”
“The murmuring began, not to the teacher, but from peer to peer. There were important matters to consider.”
mr_m “Also, you can’t leave the room. But I will, one-time only, let you take out your cellphones during class time. As long as it’s to text a guardian or friend about the fundraiser.”
mr_m “Hopefully our donors will be as generous as I am!”

I assume the logic is, because that happens at pretty much the very end of the moment (and it drops into full narrative right around the point where we're deciding where to go), you can assume we fire off a quick text to warn her that everything's fine. Or, failing that, Qiu does text his parents, so it's possible they text our mom. It's even possible, because of the vagueness of that point, that Qiu might text our mom and say something like "It's okay, your kid and I met someone we know and we're together now, everything's fine."
Basically, the story gives you the freedom to decide if you want to be the responsible kid or just as much as a reckless selfish doofus as Qiu is being.
It's a perfectly cromulent expression!
...joking aside, it's actually a pretty common phrase in English. You'll hear it crop up most often in voting contexts, when the "dark horse candidate" is generally the one nobody thinks will win (like in US politics, any independent who isn't from one of the two main parties).

OL2: Step 1-2 Icon Batch
These are the finalized icons for the Fall Ended of Step 1 and Step 2, plus an icon for one of the last Step 2 Moments I'm writing. I can't believe how close we are to having two time periods fully written ️.

aren't they so cute?

AHHHHHH LOOK AT THEM CUTIES <333333
They done it earlier the month because they releasing a new demo November 29
Love love love this game, very chill and cozy with enough customizing that it feels like i'm living and creating a story. Cannot wait til it finishes and can be played in full. No smut so far and I don't recall any in last game, which is also good but not as good as this, imho. But, Some sections are in adulthood and crushes, love and relationship styles are covered later. I'd love to see them make that leap someday. But still well worth playing even if they never do...

they actually released a patreon-only dlc for their previous game (beginnings and always) with nsfw content in 2023, around the time after they made the wedding dlc. well, it isnt really a dlc in a sense, since it's a completely seperate game you can load right off the bat without needing to insert it into the base game.
here are the download links if anyone wants to play it.

OL2: Minor Beta Build Update (PC, Mac, Android)
Hi, beta testers! We've got a small update to the beta build today. There's no new scenes in this version. This update allows you to load save files you made in the public demo in the beta, the new tutorial, some minor fixes, and, most notably, a feature to see which song is currently playing! The audio tab in the preferences section shows the name and you can turn on a notification to let you know whenever the music changes.

(If Google Drive doesn't work, use the Dropbox Mirror)And since we've had some problems in the past with so many people downloading beta builds that they get locked out by Google Drive, I've uploaded mirror builds! If the first ones listed don't work, you can try these.

New Content:

This is being released to address feedback we'd gotten recently, however a proper beta update with more Step 2 content is still coming later in December! Thank you to everybody who has followed along with the game's development.
