Month Beginning Post: June 2023 Plans (Patreon)

[Beautiful guest piece by __neptu on Twitter]

Aw, what a sight for sore eyes. It's been a while since we've seen our ocean man around here. That's just not right, especially now. This is his time, it's his season. We cannot start summer off without at least a bonus piece of Cove Holden. So, there he is.

You can check out the wrap-up for May HERE! And now let's get into this month's plans-

Monthly Content Plans:

First off, I made those updates to the Patreon tiers that got announced a couple days ago. For the rest of June, it's gonna be a bit of an odd month. We're transitioning our development focus from Our Life: Beginnings & Always to Our Life: Now & Forever. OL1 has been the focus since 2019, so this is a huge shift.

Though, it's not a complete end for Sunset Bird just yet. We've got a bug fixing patch in the works for Baxter's DLC. We're also going to take some time to do final, final touches to truly wrap-up OL1. So, there will be a few Cove related happenings in the background 💚.

I'm also going to be doing some hiring! Specifically, for someone to make content for the GB Patch Tiktok and to help create an official Our Life: Beginnings & Always artbook. If either of those interest you, please keep an eye open for when applications go up.

And, of course, actual game development will be happening! I intend to write the first Our Life: N&F Step 1 Moment this month. I've actually already started it. If things go well, maybe it could even be programmed/released as a beta this month 👀. That might be overly optimistic, though.

Finally, I'm going on vacation! It'll start at the tail end of June, though it's mostly going to be over the first two weeks of July. I promised myself that after every OL1 DLC was finally released I'd go on a real trip, not simply move to a new place. It's going to be the longest I've gone without doing game development since I started doing this several years ago, aha. It's exciting, but I'm also nervous to be away that long.

I won't be easily reachable until mid-July, however if you join our public Discord or are/become a patron and have access to the private Discord, you can contact the mods there for help while I'm gone. I'll make another update about this closer to the event.

And that's where we're at. Even with the launch of Baxter's DLC, we aren't going to be able to settle in to a typical Our Life: Now & Forever development schedule for a least a couple months thanks to other fun stuff. I'll be sure to keep you up-to-date on all our progress. Thank you for checking out the latest GB Patch news 🥰️
