Hi everybody! As usual, we've got the monthly question thread ready to go. I'll answer whatever you wanna know at the end of the month in a recording (with a transcript).

There's two guidelines for what can be submitted;

1. I'm afraid questions about what scenes Our Life: Now & Forever will include aren't answerable right now. Most of the details are decided as the game is created and currently I'm only writing the prologue of Step 1. So, I can't accept questions relating to what for sure will or won't happen past that point. I do know some things coming later, but only a small fraction of the whole game.

2. And the questions can't be about more serious/potentially upsetting topics because I don't want those listening to suddenly be surprised with something they might not have been prepared for/want to be confronted with.

#######

The thread will close after February 19th.

You can also find answers for more basic info like heights, birthdays, timelines, and such in the Overall FAQ.

Ok in Ol2, after you all meet for the first time and are walking home, how do you get to the front of your houses? Like I guess I don’t understand the geography or something, because I don’t understand how you get to the front of your houses without having to have gone through one of your backyards.

This is just a little question of mine: If Baxter were to have kids with the MC (since he is willing to have children if his partner has their heart set on it), what kind of a parent would he be like? Would he be on the stricter side, or a bit more easy-going? etc. You can go into as much or as little detail as you like, I just thought this would be a fun question ^^

Don't know if this has been asked before but I know that whilst making games for everyone to enjoy it's fun and fulfilling, it must sometime be alittle stressful. How you ensure that yourself and employees are keeping a good balance (sorry if it's intrusive just curious)

Hiii, thank you for your hard work. Given how close Lake of Voices and Our Life 1 came out, would it be safe to assume you were working on both at the same time? If you don’t mind my asking, how was it handling the two different genres simultaneously?

So I’m not sure if this has been asked before or if you’ve really thought about it but, how good at singing are the LIs of OL1 and OL2?

Thank you for all your hard work! I hope you're keeping healthy and taking time for yourself! Remember; you deserve it!! I'm sure this has been asked before and I just haven't scrolled back far enough, but- Since Baxter is a wedding planner... would he plan his own wedding or would he enjoy being able to sit back and let someone else take over for the planning? I find both ideas highly amusing and wanted your input! Take care ♥

Actually Kab answered it in her tumblr! Here is the link! https://gb-patch.tumblr.com/post/677129941540814848/since-baxter-is-a-wedding-planner-how-would-he-go "Baxter would absolutely want to plan the wedding for or with his partner, depending on how much they wanted to be involved. He would not want another planner to be included, haha."

This is a silly one lol: Has Baxter read My Immortal? (if not, I am highly skeptical of his "goth" status 🤔)

Aaah!! Thank you so much!! Ahaha that's great I did think he might be like that! Thank you again!

i was super curious. is baxter's 'suitor for the season' thing something he's done in the past? or did he just take such a strong liking to MC that he decided to go for it?

I have two-ish questions: Does the Lin family speak Chinese, and the Baumann family German in their households? Would the OL2 MC be able to attend the dance hall, but not practice ballet; or attend the dance hall, but not putting their main focus on dancing itself (taking ballet lessons for figure skating for example)? Even just knowing if it has been decided on or not would satiate my curiosity (at least for now aha), thank you for your time and take care!

Hello and hope you're having a fine day! I'm not sure if this has been asked before but what happens to the 20$ teir soundtrack downloads if the time expires to claim them? Also will there be more chances to get a games soundtrack if it was already set as a previous reward? Thank you for reading and hope you have an amazing rest of your day!💛

We know how hard Derek tries to be the perfect son, but would there ever be a situation he'd get in trouble/reprimanded for something? How would he feel about it?

Did you have a "back up plan" or career in mind if making games fulltime wasn't feasible? or did you try to make being a game dev work from the very beginning? Thank you and the team for sharing your wonderful stories with us!

It's not decided or not so I can't help you out at all, aha. The adults would know their native language, but whether or not Qiu/Tamarack know it at all or if Chinese or German written lines will ever appear in the game script can't be set yet since I'd need someone else to do the translating. As for the dance hall choice, that's a little too specific. I'd only be able to say for certain once all the dance hall scenes were entirely done. I'm sorry.
