Sorry to keep everyone waiting! The beta build for June is about to go live.

Here you can leave ideas for small MC script additions in Our Life: Now & Forever. There are various guidelines for what is doable, though.

To start, I can't add new features, entire new scenes, concepts that'd have to be accounted for over the whole story of the game, or anything not script-based (e.g. art/music). What I can do is add in specific choices/reactions to specific scenes to add some extra fun and make the existing content more fitting to different MC types.

There's a lot of things the MC can theoretically do/think/feel in OL2; the dynamic settings, the MC's feelings on the move and house and town and school, if they're shy or rude or amiable with different people, if they break rules or not, if they're tidy/polite or messy/rowdy, and more.

I try to remember it all, but I'm sure there are situations where I don't give certain aspects enough attention. If you feel like there's pieces missing to complete the experience, you've got a chance say so.

Basically, I'm gonna do my best to have the game reflect a wide range of responses/emotions per scene, but I want to do that without the game's actual completion being delayed by weeks, months, or years by adding more and more totally new scenes/features to it, haha.

Comments usually don't get a reply, but that doesn't mean the suggestion isn't going to be added. However, if you don't read the guidelines and request something not possible, it also might not get a comment to explain that it's not going to be added. I'm afraid it's not always possible to keep up with everything people post. So please do read the guidelines!

Guidelines:

-Suggestions are for the script. You can express an interest in new art, features, music, etc. and I'll remember that as the type of things players would want if possible based on time/budget, but anyone can do that kind of post in any place and putting it here in the suggestion thread won't give it a greater chance of being possible.

-Suggestions can only be for the content that's available for players to test. I won't be able to keep up with requests that apply to theoretical future scenes that don't exist. To go along with that, suggestions can't be to completely remake a current scene in a different way or to fit in entire new scenes in between what's there. This also applies to requesting MC elements/additions that expand over the entire game. For example, you can't request that the game should start tracking what phrases the MC tends to use and have characters comment in the future on their common phrases. Suggestions are for just the current scenes and the content that's already being tracked.

-Suggestions are for the MC and general prose. I can't do requests to change how non-playable-characters behave/speak. They are who they are.

-Suggestions must be appropriate for the age of the MC and the overall 16+ rating for the game. I can't make the 10-year-old MC act like an adult, not unless it's framed as clearly a child who is trying to pretend as if they're grown up. And I can't put in a ton of bad language or adult topics, especially in Step 1.

-Suggestions don't have to be specific, but that greatly increases how likely it is that what you want will end up in the game. For example, commenting that you'd enjoy silly options is something I can keep in mind when working on the game, but may not come through that well. Saying you'd like an option where the MC can tell a joke on a specific choice menu in a certain scene will give me a lot more context on what to do.

-Suggestions can be too specific, however. I can't use comments where the player actually writes out MC dialog/prose and would like that added word for word into the game. The goal is for me to create what players enjoy, I don't want to outsource filling in the script to other people.

There's also a channel in the private GB Patch discord for submitting suggestions, if you prefer to chat there.

And that's everything. You're welcome to mention where you think the MC could have more reactions/responses and such!

Thank you for following OL2's development 💕

So I was doing a rain dance for this one. Because it got brought up in chat where I tried to be funny. "What if your dating qiu or Tam. And they know u tend to hug a lot. But if you have them in stage 2 as jealous over one another. They be pouting off to the side and just hug the mc out of nowhere" that's idea request has been cooking for a while. Also qiu being a little tsundere when Tam gets more attention then them if there the crush. Mostly to make fun of the mc for like "hmph your crushing on me but you showing them more attention". It's a silly thought you don't have to pick it if you don't want to. Just want to toss my hat in the ring

A suggestion for the newest moment: I understand this might be a bit too big of a suggestion but, during the point where the MC starts getting upset at the sleepover, would it be possible to make it so that the reason why their upset isn't necessarily linked to Opal? I don't mean to suggest adding other specifc issues the MC might have because there are many and that would potentially take a lot of time to add them all but maybe there could just be a more vague option where the MC's issue isn't outright stated so the player can just imagine what they want? Again, I fully understand that this might just be too big of an ask

a small suggestion for the beginning of the sleepover moment: Both the options for not being able to sleep anywhere but your bed lead to the MC acting angry about the sleepover (Stomp of protest on the next line). It would be great to have a similar option to the "you tried not to worry about anything" option about being worried you wouldnt be able to sleep, but nervous rather than angry

Hope

This is my first time making a suggestion so I'm nervous. Dyslexia, please don't hit me too hard lol. Would it be possible for there to be a more shy/timid options to make Qiu flustered/blush during their game of trying to make him show emotion near the start of the newest moment? The more silent ones, and the ones leaning towards shy/timid, don't really make him flustered/blush like the ones where you whisper to him. I just think it'd be adorable; this shy/timid/possibly nervous wreak MC accidentally doing something that makes him flustered/blush, and said MC more than likely having no clue on why or how hahaha! Anyway, thank you for making such a wonderful game! I love it and, honestly, the new moment Slumber Party is more than likely going to kill me via cuteness overload 🤣💕

I was wondering if the MC could say "Hi. You can call me (insert nickname)." It felt a bit off when we could say 'Hi.' to Baxter along with letting him know that he could call the MC by their nickname, but the same wasn't true for Darren. Qiu prodded Darren for not saying 'Hi' to Tamarack while Sir Seventh Grade had done so for the MC, yet here's the MC not saying 'Hi' to Darren in the first place when it came to nicknames. 😉

Serennui

I have a suggestion for the part of our first day of school, when Qiu is showing Tamarack the trash he collected in the woods. How about an option for the MC to have mixed feelings? Showing that they were hoping that Qiu would give them special treatment but also expressing admiration at Qiu’s thoughtful and kind character.

Serennui

Another idea for the first day of school, when the MC is weighing their thoughts on Qiu’s popularity or maybe when you start to meet more of his friends, there can be a reaction where the MC considers what they mean to Qiu or his intentions, since he is so popular.

Psykes

When it comes to choosing your MC's involvement in Qiu's ballet class (Opal letting the MC sign up a while ago, taking a different type of dance lesson, and never having a dance lesson), could there also be options involving Qiu more directly? Depending on how close the MC is to Qiu, it could be anything from the MC asking Opal if they could join up as soon as they found out Qiu was involved in the ballet class, to Qiu asking/recommending the MC to join up, to the MC asked Qiu if it was okay for them to join after Qiu told them about the ballet classes.

Psykes

When Opal is giving the MC rules for 'staying in the neighbourhood', could we have an option to pout as a fourth non-verbal for the MC? Whether the character is spoiled brat, feeling down thanks to the restriction, or their balloon (excitement for exploring the town, for example) was deflated, expressing sadness is missing from the selection. 😢

Psykes

When it comes to choosing what kind of milk Opal and the MC have in their fridge, and lactose intolerance wasn't picked for the MC, considering you could pick mulitple types of milk to take with them, could there be an option to say they kept some lactose-free milk (or other alternative) for when Qiu visited the MC?

Psykes

When Tamarack tells the MC about being grounded, could there be an option for the MC to 'Eep-' as a response, like they could when Darren tells a scared MC 'Through here.' in the Walks Moment?

Psykes

There's a line that's kind of confusing to me in Slumber Party: "You REALLY wished she hadn't made this a 'veritable slumber party'. You just wanted this to be over. No surprises, no "fun". This was not fun." My character wasn't jumping off the walls, but they weren't dreading to be there neither. But all of the sudden the MC wanted the event to be over, no surprises, no "fun". The MC was surprised by Qiu joining in the sleep over, and whispered a 'thank you' to Qiu, and was happy to be there with Qiu and Tamarack, and then there's a pivot to not having fun there at all.
