Hello! The Patreon question thread is open from now until the after the 19th of this month.

Here you can ask me things you're wondering about for our games or company and they'll be answered at the end of the month an an audio recording (with a text transcript too). Just make sure the questions long follow the guidelines!

The thread will close after February 19th.

Guidelines:

1. Please don't reply to other people's questions even if you know the answer. The fun of joining a Q&A is that the developer can give a direct response to you and that everyone else also gets to hear/see the answer in the end of the month post. Having another player resolve the question in the comments right here might not be what the asker was hoping for. This thread is more about having a good time rather than looking for an immediate response to an important question. And if you do have a question you want to hear about right away, it's best to ask in some other thread or to message me directly.

2. I'm afraid questions about what scenes/choices/art assets 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 Step 1. I do know some things coming later, but only a small fraction of the whole game.

3. 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.

4. Please keep the questions here to things that wouldn't be really hard to tackle in an off-the-cuff, spoken out loud kind of Q&A, aha. Questions about a half dozen characters or wanting an entire theoretical situation described aren't super doable in this situation.

You can always send me questions outside of the audio Q&A if they wouldn't work here!

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

That's everything. Thank you to everyone who participates in the Q&A!

This probably falls under "we can't say for sure yet", but are you planning to have more indepth body type choices in later steps, or are you thinking of keeping it at just "Short/Tall, Small/Large"? Second Question, do you have any tips for making a bulk amount of characters? Personally I struggle to keep them distinct and seperate, they tend to fuse into just 1 or 2 over time instead

If you could revisit any scene from OL1 and redo it with the experience you've gained having finished it and started OL2, which would it be?

Hi! Just something that crossed my mind the other day. Sorry it's been asked and answered. You said that the moments would be released in the beta at half a moment per beta. I'm assuming that applies only to the base-game moments, or will the DLC moments also be released that way?

Hello (and Happy Valentine's Day 💘)! I hope you and the team are having a lovely day. My questions have to do with Derek and his family: 1) Would Derek ever consider being a stay-at-home parent? He's shown he's great with kids and doesn't mind a big family so I thought I'd be cute. 2) Is Derek's family the type to celebrate sports/sporting events like the Super Bowl or World cup? (Like, Do they throw big parties and have a favorite team or are they casual enjoyers?)

Hello! If you can't answer any of these then no worries! - In OL1 for the Derek DLC, we are able to choose where Derek and our MC will live. I did a full on romance route for him and I was wondering if we chose to live in his current city, would Derek and the MC have more privacy since they're a couple? There's nothing wrong with the family being very close but it also caused issues in a way. - In OL2, do you have a set decision on how Tams and her parents relationship with each other will end up? Such as they will end up being close or not. I'm curious because if I am correct, we have the choice to like or not like them. - Lastly, If we are dating Tam and decide to not like Tams parents and Tam ends up having a good relationship with them, how would Tam feel about this?

Hello from South Africa. I was wondering about which software is used for composing and arranging the music. I'm also curious about whether aspects present in the game like culture, nationality, language etc are going to have a more tangible role in the experiences and perspectives of the characters and MC, or if it's just going to be something that's there but not really that significant within the greater scheme of the game? That's all from me. Be well, and take care of yourself.

Hi, I hope you are doing well! I was wondering if you mostly work alone, or it's a small company? Would you consider opening a company or expand it even more in the future and produce more visual novels? Or would you prefer to work at your own pace? I really love you past games and future OL2. It would be wonderful to have more similar games in the industry. Thank you for your time!
