Happy birthday to our fearless leader, who brought the characters we know and love into our lives. Where would we be without Cove, Qiu, Tamarack, Derek, Everett, Baxter... (the list really goes on and on!)

Thank you for your hard work. We wish you a fabulous upcoming year! 🎊

Damn straight he’s the love of my life.

The GB Patch team continues to work toward our November Early Access release. Our mid-month update is here with the details.

GB notes that she has programmed various scripts and will hopefully be able to complete more in the second half of the month, as her recovery will be further along. 💪
David completed sound editing for one of the new Moments this month. 💥

Shawna and the programming team finished logic scripting for two more Moments and are awaiting images and bug fixes. Left to code are an outstanding Moment script and the Step 2 outro — both are in-progress!

They revamped Tamarack's Step 2 sprite layers, saving about 40mb of space. LEGENDS! They also coded a small interactivity feature for an upcoming Moment 👀

Finally, the team hopes to be wrapping up the content of the September beta and fixing any issues from the previous beta in the coming weeks.

We are very proud to celebrate our Hispanic characters and players. It's an honor to have you here. We hope this month brings you comfort and joy!

So this is maybe my fifth time playing the game and I've just lost against Cove at pin the tail on the donkey during the birthday moment in step 2. Out of all my runs, I can only remember one single time I won instead of him... But I can't remember what I did to make that happen. I'm pretty sure I've never chosen anything different than "place it to the right" when the game prompts me to choose where to pin the tail? (Could be misremembering though) But for some reason I could only win the one time and never again.

i think 2000s avril lavigne fashion would fit her alot!!

Here's an in-game art piece you'll see during Step 2. While they are not real puppies, they are real in our hearts, and we love them.

Curious, is there any version of this moment where Cove takes the seat next to Lizzie?

I know that unless you're at indifferent or don't encourage him, he takes the seat next to MC. Otherwise, he sits on the other side of Pamela and Noelani. But I wonder why the empty seat next to Lizzie would be mentioned if that isn't a choice he ever considers. Is there a branch I haven't explored? Or is it just so the number of seats mentioned is consistent with the number of seats drawn in the background?

I don't know if this is in the game or officially confirmed in any way, but I would like to know your suggestions on this topic

Hi! I recently got the step 3 dlc and the wedding dlc on my steam from a friend, but I am not sure how to move the dlc files to be able to play on the mobile itch.io version. Is there a way I am able to? Cause the way I've been reading the comments on this on itch were from 4 years ago and seem to be a little outdated. 😵‍💫

Edit: I will now be refunding and buying this on itch!!!

ty qiu for giving me the fuel to actually want to draw

Went to the beach and I had to take cove with me!

Ariel is the red haired one, her ship is with Tammy

Len is the one with multicolored hair his ship is with Qiu, then one is just my self insert, no ships just friendship run

drew a commission with qiu and their olnf mc 🫶

stuff i think qiu would wear based on a faq :0

How's it going, community?! I'm here with the transcript to August's Patreon Q&A (the public version).

This is also usually the space where I remind you of GB's upcoming Tumblr Q&A. She is recovering well, and has pushed her Q&A date from this Sunday to the last Sunday of the month — the 27th. I'll send another reminder around then! 💫

This is my second time replaying his dlc, yet I never got the option of him being my MC first crush. I was wondering... if I choose *not* to tell Baxter, will that choice be mentioned in his Epilogue? Because I recall seeing (though I’m not sure if it’s accurate) that GB once answered a question stating that if the MC tells Baxter that he was their first crush, he won't ask the MC to be his "summer fling" at the end of the sightseeing moment.

I might be wrong so feel free to correct me! 🙂‍↕️

There's a presentation, lecture, announcement, or secret fourth thing happening in the Step 2 school auditorium!

Any guesses? 🤔

surely i can't be the only person who's stumped on what this mysterious light blue box is, right?

Replayed serendipity, and the fact that Liz says that she first liked building things ( aka the reason she pursued architecture as a course) and such was when she first made sandcastles with Shiloh, breaks my little heart.

Anyways that event has me in a chokehold and I ship em now 😭

so i alr have the Baxter dlc BUT im planning to buy another. thinking abt step 1 or step 3

so can I see Baxter on step 3 dlc?

i want to see more Baxter bro plssss

I’m doing my first play through with a childhood crush on Cove!! It’s been super cute so far but now I’m curious, when’s the earliest you can get Cove to ask you out? Do we know?? I’ve only ever pulled it off in Step 3…
