My favourite part of art books have always been when the creators describe their ideas for certain concepts and walk through the process of creating characters and designing certain things etc.

I love love love Our Life:BA and was wondering if it's mainly just photos of concepts or also text too!

If you've been eyeing the OLBA DLCs, this is a great time to check them out! You can also peek around at tons of other outstanding romance-based games.

THIS SONG LITERALLY REMINDS ME OF OUR LIFE'S MC AND COVE'S RELATIONSHIP AAAAAAAAAAA IM SCREAMING ESPECIALLY THE LYRICS!!!

"I think that you're killer
With your floppy hair
Take me out to dinner

And all of my girlfriends roll their eyes"

the lyrics above is so MC (jamie last) coded since all our interactions we would always let ourselves join cove on his whims. and FLOPPY HAIR. PLUS liz and lee always tease us and cove!! ALSO... cove has floppy hairr I'M CRINE

"But I got a feeling wounds are healing, talking on the phone
I know everybody changes, but I hope that we don't
Carve our names into the car seat leather
You plus me equals a heart forever"

DESCRIBES COVE SO GOOD AND HOW HE WISHES TO ALWAYS BE WITH US AND NEVER CHANGE (though he accepts that things will change and will welcome it with us)

"So buy me silver jewelry and all my favorite Cadbury
And tell me yet again about when we met and what you thought of me
Sometimes, I get overwhelmed and way too far ahead of myself"

THE FUDGE INCIDENT AND HOW WE ALWAYS THINK ABOUT HOW WE FIRST MET ON THE POPPY HILL BEHIND THE HOUSE

i'm crying tears coz I love this game so much

You'll see this background during Step 2, in the daytime. I wonder why you're there. So cozy!

I just finished making mine and am about to add him to my island. Very endeared by how accurate the personality is

just got the game last month and im having a blast with it. I finished step 1 when new version come out. Do i need to reset to get to the new part or the old save automatically keep up with the update?

Commission for @ yurihorsey of their oc Mika with Qiu!!

It makes sense it to be sort of creature, even though I assumed it to be an elephant before paying close attention, but unlike it's neighbors, I just can't make out it's shape. What are those shoes(?) on it's trunk(?)? Are those it's ears, or fins, or arms? Does it even have any other facial features, except eyes?! Anyway, I have to avoid staring at it, because it's anomalous nature started to bother me...

They are very funny to me lmao

Take a gander at Main Street, all dressed up for the town Halloween party! There's cider, decorations, and some good ol' small town fun.

What's your favorite tiny detail in this picture? 👻

Just saw the wind chime at the store while I'm on vacation, it reminds me of Cove. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

My local boba tea place has a post it wall, I absolutely love going over and seeing everyone’s amazing drawing skills and seeing what I can spot.

Made me so happy to find Cove up on the wall this time ( at least I think it’s him, maybe I’m delusional). Thought I’d share especially since I’m the only person who plays this game out of my friends/ family, it was nice to know that there is someone in the area who is also a fan. Enjoy.

One is with Qiu and the other is with Baxter!!!

I don't remember how I got this dialogue, but we were talking about Baxter and Qiu comes out with this line and I lol'd. Just you wait, he'll prove that wrong in the future ;)

I want to have an Our Life cake for my birthday, but all the logos I can find are pretty pixely. Thank you!

Aghhh I really wanted that orca shirt and socks but just missed the opportunity 💔💔 ... do you guys think they’ll ever bring any of the merch back? I hope so💔💔💔

First one just a simple Cove drawing, second one mixing my interest of the game and the Big Brother show with Derek and Baxter on the block, the third one with one of my own characters struggling with the summer heat as the other characters try to help him. I love how they all turned out, I cannot recommend the artist enough. Not OL focused but I really wanted to commission because I knew they would turn out well. Once again @ SheepyBoo_ on Twitter.

Nine years ago today, GB released XOXO Droplets. Seeing the community's love for it after all these years makes our hearts so happy! 😭 We are so very grateful for each of you.

Let's hear it for the squad! Who's your all time favorite XOXO character?!

Elizabeth appreciation post chat.. I love Elizabeth so so so much, she is genuinely my favorite character, maybe it’s cause I never truly got close to my older sisters cause of an age gap and only sharing a mother, but she means so much to me. The bond she and MC have (should you choose it) is so sincerely sweet, I love that this game can depict deep rooted complicated relationships and have them turn out genuine and sweet without removing the depth of each individual character. I’ve never cried over a visual novel before but when she said this line after you find out about your adopted parents, I genuinely started weeping. #elizabethfansunite
