The end of Step 1 is upon us! In about ten minutes.

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 💕

I cant wait to play once I get off work. Im excited to see the changes made 🥰 thank you for all the hard work you've done for us and the community!

Feels like we're about to reach the end of the rollercoaster we know as Step 1 for OL2. Not the kind of rollercoaster for teens, but still some highs and lows (arguments, stormy weather, wishes, crushes, crashes). I can't wait to see what the next Stage brings us. 😁

I’m sure it’s already been accounted for, but it’d be great for the MC to get clarity from Ren as to why she was so “anti-girl” before. It could be a great instance for MC and Ren to better talk/bond, especially if MC is a girl. Transfolk have some unique experiences in their lives and it’d be neat to see that expressed. (My guess is that, in Ren’s case, it was a matter of “the lady doth protest too much.”) Other things that would be neat: -allow the MC to call out our leads when they’re being pain-in-the-rear teens (ex.: maybe MC wants to ask Qiu why they think it’s OK to act like kind of a jerk just because they’re going through life) -comparing likes/dislikes - just to add more depth in convos especially in Step 2 onwards

I should have mentioned this way back when the Prologue came to the point of going with Tamarack to drop off nature's (aka Tamarack's) gift under Qiu's Secret Hideout (shh, it's Top Secret!), when a MC is afraid of the woods, they didn't get the option to say think to themself that it was scary that there was nothing separating their home from the forest. The thought of the Special Place in the woods clenched their stomach, surely the realization that nothing separates the spooky forest from the MC and their home is a scary thought, indeed. (The option does show up, but for those who might like the woods, but the thought that there wasn't anything separating the house from the woods might still be daunting, just not for those who are very much afraid of the woods itself without someone being there for them, like Qiu and Tamarack.) 😨🫣🏠🌳🌳🌳

Hey hey! I loved the fall ended sequence, I did notice however in some playthroughs when I load in during the costume fitting scene with Qiu that his sprite is missing his eyes sometimes with certain expressions. It might just be a problem on my end but I wanted to let you know! Keep up the good work!

Sasha

I was thinking it would be kinda fun if the MC could always say "This'll be the last time" when you pick up Qiu's papers for them, and have them always not believe you, even if they don't always state that. I think when you pick papers up for them in the classroom you get to say that already

Going through a playthrough of Step 1, when had an object (doll, blanket, pillow, etc.) that they needed in order to go to sleep in the Prologue, the MC could decide whether they still needed it to go to sleep or had left it at home, since they've grown up and don't need it anymore, how about an option that's somewhere in the middle? "You brought it with you. You no longer needed it to go to sleep, but you still liked to have it when you went to sleep." It would still fit in with the current dialogue. After all, they might be just as embarrassed if people found out they slept with a teddy bear, even if they no longer needed it to feel secure at night.
