And here's the actual beta build! We're finally past the prologue and into Step 1 for real. Woo! This beta build shows off the Linked Moments feature by including the opening scenes shared between Walks and Wheels. It also has part one of Walks, but not the entire Moment. The first part (and the second part too) is ridiculously more complicated than the scenes in OL1, so it takes longer to implement them, aha.

For at least a few months it'll probably be half Moment updates per beta release until we've had time to get ahead with the script writing and have finished a lot of the other non-script programming elements that are being worked on.

And you'll see some of the non-script related updates in this beta. The system for choosing gendered terms has been nicely improved and a functional Moment selection screen with temporary assets has been put in place thanks to Shawna. The Moment screen is neat because you'll be able to arrange where the Moments are set! So, if you don't play in the default order you can actually drag and drop the buttons into whatever line up makes sense to you. We're also planning on including decorations to make it even more personalized.

Also, if you're at the highest tier, you can leave your suggestions for additional choice options/MC reactions for these new scenes HERE.

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.

Or you can bypass the quota by logging in to a Google Drive account, then on the file's download page, click "Add shortcut to Drive" in the upper right corner. Save it to your Drive, then create a new folder, put it inside, and download the folder!

Save files from the prior beta should work in this beta!

New Content:

  • 15,500 words of new scenes: the linked opening for Walks & Wheels and the first half of Walks
  • The Moment Screen with temporary assets
  • And updated system for choosing what gendered terms are used
  • Small fixes to typos/errors from the prior build

Thank you so much for waiting for more OL: N&F content! There's tons of alterations possible within the Moments. We've really pushed the concept of getting to do what you want in this quaint world of Golden Grove, haha. I hope you'll enjoy the story we're putting together 💕

I loved every second of this beta build! Atmosphere, music, graphics, details, characters. It's wonderful to see how much effort has been put into this and clearly you lovely people love making this game 💜💜💜

since in OL1 you could be lactose intolerant, it'd be interesting if you added allergies in OL2 for the people that have allergies.

I’m so glad thank you so much!!!

For claritys sake, during the moment selection screen are all the objects around just for decoration or do they hold a purpose?

gbpatch

It's just for decoration. The Moment screen is only for picking the order you do moments in. There's nothing else to it!

Nice, can't wait to test it. owo

I have just let out a powerful psychic "SQUEEEE!!!".

This beta is so good, I played through it as soon as I could! One small consistency issue to note. If MC talks to Tamarack first, only gives her their first name, and then refuses to give Qiu their name at all, Tamarack will tell him MC's full name despite never being told it.

Thank you for the update, it was great! Always a pleasure to see Darren and Baxter too! I had a small little issue though: When Qiu comes back again after calling the other two and asks "Everybody ready?" - following Tamarack's answer, my MC first answers "simply with a nod" (which is in tune with how he acts usually), but then when I click once more I get an energetic and vocal answer saying "I'm ready too!". I'm sure that second one is a bug or coding error, since not only the game specified it was only a nod, but also it's a bit OOC for my character compared to all my previous choices. Not a game breaking issue of course, but still noticaeable.

Hey I am having trouble downloading the file on both the normal and mirrored version. Both are saying they have exceeded their download quota...

Oliver Flores

That was so good, thank you for the update, I had to redownload it times cause it kept saying it couldn't find start. and some lines were missing but after the 4th download, I had no problem, everyone seems so understanding when our mc is silent, I'm thankful for that.

When first meeting Qiu I introduce myself as Miss MC using female pronouns and such and it triggers his non-binary response." My MC is intersex but I don't think Qiu would know that yet.

I liked the little scene where Baxter mentions MC's moles. I didn't expect it and my MC was surprised too lol. And poor Tama getting pouty if MC chooses to ride with Qiu.

I just got Tamarack's "We have to fight" line and I'm *howling.* She might be my favorite character in any of y'all's vns so far!

My MC has a hairstyle covering one of their eyes and heterochromia - Tamarack commented on the dual color of the eyes. It would be nice and interesting if maybe the MC could chose to reveal that. Overall really good for options. All the problems I found are already above in comments so I’m not going to restate them. Keep up the good work!

'Tamarack said "hi" to all of them. She didn't know those people.' *...👀 Step 3* Oh, baby bop - YOU *WILL*~ But - Aaaah!! It's the post I've been waiting foooor~ While I can summon immense fortitude waiting for Wedding night - I have ZERO SP for N&F builds. 🤷🏾‍♀️ LET'SS GOOOO (thank you thank you thank you ❤️)
