Yes, Cove James Holden is once again available in plushie form! Though this time he's eight-years-old and has some nifty extra features. He comes with a detachable firefly ball that actually glows, and his iconic pink cast does too.

Hello!

Steam is updating how currencies are handled for Argentina and Turkey and Our Life: Beginnings & Always prices were updated to support that. We've changed the prices for the Argentina Peso and Turkish Lira, and added prices for the new LATAM-USD region and MENA-USD region.

I'm not sure if it will show immediately or if it will take time to fully roll out on Steam, but I do want players to be aware of what's going on.

Thank you for the support!

Today Our Life version 1.7.1 went live! It fixed the errors reported for Baxter's DLC and added a handful of improvements throughout the entire game. If there are any updates beyond this, they will only be to make minor typo fixes. Our Life has reached a definitive state of completion after almost three years!

Thank you all once more for the kind messages and feedback over the dozens of months of development. It was an incredible experience. And though Our Life: Beginnings & Always won't get further DLCs, GB Patch Games will still be around to make new stories! We hope to see you around again sometime.

And to celebrate finally reaching this point, we had one last promo image made 💚

And, well, here we are. It's been nearly three years since the original launch and the final Our Life: Beginnings & Always DLC is finally available. I cannot believe it took this long, and I can believe it even less that so many people have continued to follow us over such a lengthy development. Support for our team and the game has never wavered no matter how much time has gone by. That's something I'll always appreciate regardless of what happens in the future.

Thank you for moving into a sleepy neighborhood in Sunset Bird and making a life there. It wouldn't have been the same without you 🥰️!

Now I hope you'll enjoy this last full-length story of a particularly dramatic man. He requires a lot of patience, which clearly you have, haha.

Yes, there it is. We officially have a release date for the most dramatic man's story and the final DLC for Our Life: Beginnings & Always. May 19th, 2023. We appreciate all the patience for this news.

There's a coming soon page HERE!

Hello!

Thank you to everyone who has played the Derek DLC, and thank you for the feedback on it, too. We've released a patch to solve some problems people were having. Mainly, there were issues if you loaded an older save in the middle of Step 2 and did the Derek events. And sometimes Soiree wouldn't count as completed for the Derek DLC even when you did the event, so Derek's version of Step 4 couldn't unlock. There were also small typos/visual errors that were fixed up along the way.

One occasional issue that's more personal device based is that sometimes the Derek DLC, or any other DLC, installs but the main game doesn't register recent updates. We've now added in a pop-up to let players know if they end up in a situation where their DLCs are current but the base of Our Life is out-dated. DLCs can only work properly if the core of the game has all of its new changes/additions as well.

If there's anything we missed, just let us know!

*Edit
Some save files had problems with the latest update but we released a quick fix so they should all be compatible now.

Derek's Story is out now 💖💖💖. Spend wonderful summer days in the company of Derek Suarez during Steps 2 and 4! This is an optional paid DLC for the free game Our Life: Beginnings & Always.

I appreciate how patiently people have waited for this expansion. It's been great to finally let Derek have his time to shine, and I really hope everyone loves him, and his lovely family too!

For the launch week, the Derek DLC is 10% off! And all the older DLCs are at a 20% discount, too. Plus, the base game and all the DLCs, other than the voiced name DLC, were also updated with fixes/Derek related alterations. If you have the game already, please let Steam update those files.

Derek's DLC is launching on September 29th, 2022 🥳️. We've fixed up the beta bug reports, added finishing touches, and are finally ready to share Derek's story with everybody. He is a great guy and I hope people will love getting to spend more time together, with Derek and his family. His story can be played as a romance or as a close friendship.

It will go live pretty early in the morning based on Pacific Standard Time. Thank you for all the patience with this DLC!
