Our Life: Now & Forever Feature - Linked Moments (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Today I'm making a post to share information on a neat new element of Our Life 2. It's always been the case where the game remembers the scenes you've already done and those experiences can impact the Moments you do next. However, in Our Life: Now & Forever there will be a small bunch of Moments that are more directly connected. I'm calling them "Linked Moments"!

Linked Moments will share scenes between each other and which one is done first and which comes second will be a part of the whole premise of the Moments.

I can use the Linked Moments in Step 1 as an example, Walks and Wheels. You'll get a particular opening regardless of which you clicked first. In that scene, it's the weekend and Qiu, his club, and Tamarack are gonna be going on an afternoon adventure. But there's two good ideas and both can't be done in one day! So, you'll decide what will happen right then and what you'll promise to do together on another Saturday.

So, switching up the order you do Walks/Wheels will give you a different experience because it'll either be the first full group outing you've ever had, or it'll be the second time you've all hung out.

I think it'll add even more fun to replays, plus will give me the space to have stories that have a bit more going on than something confided to a single Moment that can happen at any point in the Step.

Right now, there should be one pair of linked Moments in every Step. Maybe there will end up being more in Step 2 and/or Step 3, we'll see how it goes further into development.

[And yes, you can do one linked Moment and then have the Step end so you never do the other half of the set. Pulling that stunt will disappoint the babies during the end of Step scenes, though 😔.]
