I drew a scene from Step 1: Wheels event! 🚲 Qiu is being his usual sweet self, comforting Rosasharon and wrapping a scarf around his scratched palm. He says it'll be okay... but honestly, the scratch is the least of Rosasharon's worries right now. 😂
Looking at Qiu, Rosasharon is probably thinking: 'With all this sunshine around, why are you the only one shining?' 🌟 His heart is definitely not okay after this! 💘
Also, I’m taking requests again! ❤️ This time, I want to make them extra special.
Please share your MC's picture and their best 'charm point'! It can be anything—from their eyes or an accessory to their vibe, habits, or even a line they’d say. I'm so curious about your lovely MCs! ✨ (Previous requesters are welcome to apply again!) 😘
Are we able to to customise what qiu and tamarack look like in each step like OLBA or once you pick their hair, its just stuck like that for the rest of the game.?
i haven't posted on yer in i think a year but i wanted to do a post about my one and only (i forgot her name so her name is now Rosie) update in step two shes a bit of a rebel its cool to see me grow up with my art yk
im so dumb her name started with a ma because in my old art that i used as a ref it had a m necklace so i thi it was like mika or m somthing idk ill find out
An old short comic that i decided to redraw for fun. The new one is definitely much better than the old one i posted long ago lol. Crazy how much subtle improvement over the months i was in this community can do
Guys I was reallyyyyyyyy bored so I'm gonna share some information about Sasha (You can also share some too!!) or idk
Sense some of you guys really think Sasha my mc is really pretty, she actually has some or more admirers in step 2 because they think she's cute. Sasha is REALLY touchy around her friends like she's really touchy around girls and people with different kinds of genders, but it depends if their comfortable like if they're not comfortable then Sasha is not touchy to them, if they a bit okay with it then she would just hold hands and hold their arms.
Okay this is what I like about Qiu's crush for Sasha (sense I like Jealous crushing Qiu :D), They kind of get annoyed when one of Sasha's admirers gave chocolates or a rose to Sasha while Vianca is extremely suspicious of that admirer (if that admirer was a boy) while Tamarack is probably not surprised that she gets roses and chocolates in valentines day.
Sasha does ballet and she's really flexible. Sasha has A LOT of clothes that light pink and some kogal style outfits.
okay that's it I have too much information, so I probably won't talk about more :')
(IM REALLY SORRY IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS!!! :( )
Hello everyone! I wanted to make something for valentines, but have had serious creative, and well, like everything block for over a month. But I finally regained my motovation to draw and create! So it's a bit late, but here's my valentines drawing + some doodles. Also a question! Unrelated to characters in OL, what's somthing/one your character loves? Al loves bears!
guysss, i need helpp!!! (i dont know how to explain this but) i was playing the Game, and i was almost done playing step 2 "assistance" i finished the step 2, BUT i was just stuck on this page (even though i finished the Assistance Step)i cant click on it either// and im not sure how to fix it....!!
Thanks for responding! So you know when Qiu and I get to the bridge and it starts raining then it becomes really laggy for no reason and it randomly crashed, but on the second try, I got to the part where I had to find Qiu and when I did, it crashed again, So I tried the third time which was a few seconds ago, and it crashed at the bridge part once again, plus I'm on a android phone 😭
It sounds like it has something to do with the animations. I'd suggest starting by turning animations off and seeing if that helps. You can find that under "Preferences", and "Accessibility". You can click "No animations".
Guys I drew Qiu and Sasha (my mc) again in step 1, what do you think? :)
I
I'm so sorry if you can't see it well :( but what Sasha is saying here is "C'mon! I'm gonna show you something!" and yep there are in Sasha's backyard (aka the whole forest itself). To be honest when I drew this I was like "they're so cute together!"
Does anyone have this issue? At some point during the demo the whole game would just freeze, but including my whole computer ! Id always have to force plug it out 😭🤧 it really only happens with olnf specifically, olba or other games are fine... Already reverified files in steam and tried to download through itchio instead but no luck still.
Sorry to hear that! Are there particular instances when this happens, like specific parts of a scene, or is it random? You might try turning off animations, which can be found in the settings, as a temporary fix as well. Hopefully we can get this sorted out for you.
Guys sense I'm extremely bored, what are some fun facts about your MC? it can be any like what are their dislikes, likes or anything! For Sasha (my MC) you already know she's a hime gyaru but in step 2 she's a kogal and she hates vanilla ice cream for some reason I know it's kinda funny, but Sasha is Sasha.
And another fact from Sasha is she loves hello kitty and my melody, she has A LOT of plushies of them. and yea Sasha really loves her mom, Opal that she gossips about what happen at school to Opal so sasha sees her mom as a best friend or the best mother.
Mayke gets her name mispronounced a LOT at school and stuff. You'd think that it would be easy for someone to pronounce her name (literally the same as make) but some people call her Mike and shi.
This had happened even back in India, and moving to an American town didnt exactly help it. This is why most people call her Mickey! Genuinely self projecting but its also close to how some people call Qiu 'Autumn'! Also based username
- Andi is an Aries, her height as an adult would be 156 cm so she's on the petite side as an adult
-Andi had a phase as a child where she was obsessed with watching bugs and learning about insects, she becomes disgusted as an adult upon remembering that. She is generally very squeamish starting from step 2.
- Andi is not very interested in science, and only studies them to get good grades. but her grades leap up easily in creative fields,
she 's Cameron amber, I shared her before but not her old art I think. It's enemies to lovers with her n qiu in step one but they drift away in step 2. Tamarack is her best friend in both steps!
She's very into detective work and analyzing and is kind of a weeb in step 1 as you can see. Grows out of it in step 2 though. Refuses to talk at all with anyone except sometimes her mom (she found it pointless, but also interesting how people interpreted her)
Thank you! Cam is a very proud and confident girl, to the point that she just automatically assumes she's smarter than most people their age. This is lessened in step 2 but she's still very much a decision maker in alot of things, and is still smarter than most people her age.
ight i had to do a whole new damn comment just to post the step 1 too, damn it, why is it so hard to comment on itchio, literally made an acc just to comment on this game fr 🥹
Yayy loved how the relationship improved with Baxter from step 1! Baxter is more complex than he seems and it made me sad to see that many disliked him without really trying to understand him TwT
Yeaah, he is actually kinda cool at least in my opinion 😛
Besides since he is so calm and doesnt talk way too much and my MC turned quiet before highschool he can only talk well with people he knew before that includes Baxter, and even with them he struggles with overthinking
Guys is it too late to do this trend like am I late, is it over?? I have done it cuz I was very bored (I'm going to do step 1 later cuz I have school stuff to do)Oh yea I forgot to add there is Sasha still considers Baxter her friend even though their relationship as friends has changed into Baxter seeing her as an old friend or just neutral and yes both Sasha and Qiu might be like one-sided crush or idk but not entirely because Sasha is in denial so yeaa....
(I'm sorry if you're not getting this entire text, I'm bad in my grammar:'))
Awww 💗 your mc is really pretty and she seems very friendly and kind based on her internal thoughts! So sweet that she has a good thing to say about everyone.
And speaking of that, can I add my mc relationship chart as well? Only if you don't mind. I think its a pretty fun concept.
Omg yes please post it! I would love to see it too! I also added the blank template for others that would like to do it too! The original template is by @marzopan-art from Tumblr!
Omg the drawings are so cuteeee! Prince Qiu with flower crown Tammy are so precious TwT! Seeing fancy Baxter made me chuckle lol and the animal ear on Darren is so cute<3! Love how creative you are with the relationship chart<3!
Is it bad to say that I'm invested with the idea of doomed yuri with Yi and your yume-oc? 👀 This is a nice way to see more love to other characters in Olnf ngl hahaha
Hi hi! It's been a while, I was busy with life. I had the time to be in our life for a moment (harhar). Anyways, here is how Timothy kind of started his so called 'phase' but ended up looking more emo than punk lol! Also, I had a fun idea for Opal that she used to be a rebellious teenager (all of which are non-canon btw!). It's something I would like to see in the game to see a glimpse of the parents' younger days hehe.The second page is a bit rushed, sorry about that :,D but here is mom who was also in her rebellious days and a Yi cameo? Though, Opal didn't remember seeing Yi in the past anymore. That's it! I swear I will make up an art for belated valentines day >:,)
GOOD EVENING, PEOPLE!!! (or morning) 🥳🥳 i've been on an art streak this week with my mcs and couldnt resist drawing them in cute clothes.... so that's got me wondering with a MC question....
What is your MC's fashion style / what kind of clothes do they wear?
blythe wears a lot of cyber street, soft grunge, and loose streetwear stuff. a lot of loose-fitting stuff, hoodies, warm or neutral colours (e.g. grey, green, red).
jaehwa would dress like the average mom in their early 30s 😂✌💔 a lotta long, modest dresses, turtlenecks, and LONGGG trench coats, usually in black, brown, or beige. also some old preppy stuff in navy blue or red.
ivory (my redhead oc) is sort of a modernized mori kei? just some cute stuff you'd see a shoujo girl wearing lowkey, either a LOT of soft colors or some earthy tones. lucille (blondie) highkey just looks good in everything and canonically wears anything so she's my victim for art now.
Andi's childhood step 1 fashion style is 'chosen by mom', Andi as a 10 years old absolutely doesn't have a clear fashion sense preference as her mind only cares about play, school, and the new people she's meeting in Golden Grove. so I like to think that Opal would be the one picking her outfits lol
As she gets older she begins wearing feminine clothes, experimenting with cute and elegant style, before eventually opting as an adult for elegant/ semi-professional wear, blazers, shirts, ties, elegant skirts, high heels as well as incorporating her favorite colors, blue and purple into her fashion style.
Though she'd avoid dressing in pink shades because she wouldn't want to look too 'bubblegum-themed', given her pink hair.
Well.... for Sasha in step 1 she loved skirts and dresses A LOT while in step 2 she discovered gyaru you know the Japanese fashion subculture, so she became one. her style is basically kogal but not the shibuya kind, the hime gyaru kind you the know the cute aesthetic i guess??
in step 3 she became full on hime gyaru like light pink clothes, huge bows and etc.!!
She was supposed to be coquette but i changed my mind because the style doesn't fit her personality.
In step one, Timothy tends to wear fluffy clothing or anything that felt soft to touch in cold weather 🐑 he had a habit on fiddling either a cottonball or a faux fur as a kid
In step two, Timothy's punk style moved on and evolved to grunge style now. It kind of fits the autumn aesthetic with rock/rebel core! 🎸 But that was his usual days. For weekends, Timothy is still testing other styles in secret 👀
I have a question that's been keeping me up at night: will there be two more "Our Life" VN? I mean... if two of these are set in two of the four seasons (summer and autumn), is it possible that spring and winter will have their own "Our Life"? I sincerely love these VNs so much, I'd love to see more of them
Oh and Tamarack my queen, can i just gush about how gorgeous she looks in step 3? You captured her so beautifully! Now that i notice it, the eye rendering looks quite similar to our life: beginning and always, pupils not being fully black and just overall vibe, maybe im just imagining a connection but it's really cute 🤔🥰
Hehe thank you<3! Tamarack is our special queen, being the only female love interest in the Our Life series so I had to do her justice! And my artstyle is definitely more similar to OLBA than OLNF so yeah I can see the connection there lol
Andrea or 'Andi' ... I've been thinking how she'd look based on her character doll and I finally got around actually drawing her, this is one of my favorite games, between this and the our life: BA , all I have been drawing lately is fanart and oc doodkes
I'm so glad you like how she looks! I also drew her as a 14 yo and a 18 yo, but i figured i'd post these drawings after I've finished rendering them, I'd also love to learn about your different mcs, I've seen some and they all look so pretty!
ANDI IS SUCH A CUTIE WHAT ⁉️⁉️ i agree with the other comments, her hair is totally edible and cotton candy flavoured..... also mianmian's twin yo ⁉️ (WAITINGBREEZE NEEDS TO SEE THIS)
Andi uses she/her pronouns in every step, out of the cul-de-sac kids, she's the shyest, polite, and overwhelmed by Tamarack and Qiu strong personalities 'at first' although she warms up to them easily.
She's also a straight A student and completely invested academically. She wouldn't break rules at school or otherwise because the thing she dreads the most is adult disapproval.
She also has quite a warm relationship with her mom and her relationship with her in all steps would be positive, her love for her mother comes in the form of worrying about her feelings moving into the new cul-de-sac and wanting to take off some responsibilities from her like house work etc ...
In step 2, her social struggles appear as she becomes more shy, as a kid, friendships were easy to make. As a teen, she struggles in the environment of fellow teenagers and making new connections outside of friendships she already solidified, like with Tamarack and Qiu.
She is also interested in novels, literature. Aiming to become a fantasy novelist in the future.
Whether she ends up with Qiu or Tamarack is depended on the file, I want to try the routes of both and would create a file choosing each one for her. Especially since I find both of them interesting and I think she has a cute dynamic with both.
yayyyyyy moreeee!!! I still gotta do the rest of the sports tho... And don't get me started on alternate versions... It'll be fun for sure but heesh it'll take a while
Hi, I'm loving the game, it's become my favorite, but if in a future update or outside of the demo you could add other languages to the game, I'm not fluent in English and this makes it very difficult to understand certain things, which would harm my experience. I'm from Brazil, so please add Brazilian Portuguese!
We're so glad you're enjoying it. Unfortunately, there won't be any translations made, as the game is too long and complicated. We really appreciate you playing, and thank you for following us.
I drew a scene from Step 2 with Step 2 Qiu and my MC, Rose of Sharon. Looking at Qiu under the golden summer sun, Rosasharon felt his heart flutter and fall for them all over again. 😚 (Pose reference by @agabambiyy!)
Also, I’m still taking requests to draw your MCs! If you're interested, please leave a comment with:
* A picture/reference of your MC
* The pose or expression you'd like
I'll try my best to draw them in my style! ❤️
+ Requests are now CLOSED! Thanks for your interest ✨
Quick, someone grab a glass of water for their jaw! 😂 Thank you! By the way, I saw your MC and... is that a ponytail? I’m OBSESSED with ponytails! And that smile in your drawing is just precious. ❤️
I’ve finished the drawing for you! ❤️ Rain was a bit of a challenge to paint, but I hope you like how it turned out. Your MC is so charming—I especially loved the diamond-shaped highlights in Zephyr's eyes and that subtle difference in brightness between them. Such a lovely detail! 😘
(To answer your question, I only upload my art here on itch.io!)
I’m so glad you love it! ❤️ And of course, I’d be honored if you used it as your profile picture! It makes me so happy to know you like it that much. 🥰 See you around in the comments! ✨
OH MY GAWDD THIS IS LITERALLY MASJESTIC BRO I LOVE YOUR ARTSYLE AND COLORING 🥺‼️
I would LOVEE to have my mc be drawn by you!!
This is her general design from like a year ago but I updated her bangs recently so if youre drawing her then draw the new bangs ☺ you can choose whichever step you want!!
I hope this meets your expectations! I actually realized later that I missed the scarf—I'm so sorry about that. 😭 It’s not perfect, but I hope you enjoy the vibe! Thank you for waiting! ❤️
I just noticed you already changed your profile picture to the drawing!! 🥺 Thank you for the huge compliment, I’m so glad you like it that much. ❤️ Have a wonderful day! ✨
Helllppp! This is so ethereal! 😭 the lighting is so gorgeous! And i love your rendering and lineart, it has a hand-drawn rustic feel, both Qiu and your mc are literally glowing!
Thank you, Seirababy! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the rustic feel of the lines and the rendering. It was so much fun working on the lighting for this piece, and your comment just made the whole process worth it! 🥰
If you still take requests I'd be happy if you drew my mc, i already posted her picture in one of the newest posts, i don't have any specific picture references in mind so you can have fun with it
I finished the drawing! 🥰 To be honest, I had this sudden 'inspiration' that a floral dress would look absolutely stunning on Andi, so I just went with my gut! 😉
I really hope this surprise matches what you were secretly hoping for! She’s so gorgeous and I had a blast rendering her. Enjoy! ❤️✨
Thank you for the beautiful surprise, she looks so incredible in your style 🥹 im so happy you went with your gut because i've personally always enjoyed dressing my ocs in big, fluffy dresses, I can absolutely see this as a dress she'd wear, also blue is her in game favorite color so it's absolutely perfect for her
You have an incredible artstyle, thank you for drawing her
Thanks for the request! Your MC looks so cool, I’d love to draw him! 🥰 Just a heads up, it's currently the Lunar New Year holiday in my country, so it might take me a little longer than usual. I hope you understand! 😚
+ I finally finished drawing your MC! 🥰 I had such a blast working on the lighting for this piece—it was definitely my favorite part of the process! ✨
I really hope you like how he turned out! Thank you so much for waiting for me during the holiday. ❤️
I would love for Dominic to be drawn in this style if possible? The art you make is so delicious I would watch any show or read any novel if this was the styleI like this pose but perhaps with him smiling?
(Edit: I took down the 'failed' version because it was too embarrassing lol! But I finally finished the new one! 🥰)
Thank you for your patience! I had so much fun drawing Dominic. By the way, I added a little secret... Can you guess whose hands are squishing his cheeks? (Hint: check the bracelet and the hoodie! 😉)
AAANDD AT QUARTERBACK, NUMBER SIXTEEN... DANIEEEELLLL WATTTT
Thought about making him a Running Back or even a Safety but QB1 for the Otters felt just right. Also made a little concept for their away uniform. Might make some others for the rest of the sports teams
First of all, I want to say this demo is so wonderful that I've already read it twice and I'm not bored at all. You're doing a really great job; the dedication and love you put into it is very evident. I'll wait as long as it takes to read it completely because I truly love this visual novel. Now, I've seen that some users are sharing artwork of their MCs, and they're all so cute that I'm a little embarrassed to share mine. Besides, my art isn't that great, but it's done and I really wanted to share it. I hope my little Vladimir is well-received here. (Please excuse any mistakes; I'm still learning the languag😭)
I really like this one! I love that there are so many options, including ones where you don’t actually have to speak to communicate, since I don't normally do that with other people

There is no more to play, that is all that the demo offers.
ohhhh, tyyy so much. though it was a bug or smth
The game is still just a demo, so that is the end of the content. Thank you so much for playing, though!
It keeps kicking me out everytime when I try to do finish that moment, It did twice already! 😭
Do you mean you are unable to finish the Moment? When does the crash happen? Hopefully I can help.
Thanks for responding! So you know when Qiu and I get to the bridge and it starts raining then it becomes really laggy for no reason and it randomly crashed, but on the second try, I got to the part where I had to find Qiu and when I did, it crashed again, So I tried the third time which was a few seconds ago, and it crashed at the bridge part once again, plus I'm on a android phone 😭

TYSM :3
It didn't crash when I turned off the animation, now it's working! ❤️
Guys I drew Qiu and Sasha (my mc) again in step 1, what do you think? :)
I'm so sorry if you can't see it well :( but what Sasha is saying here is "C'mon! I'm gonna show you something!" and yep there are in Sasha's backyard (aka the whole forest itself). To be honest when I drew this I was like "they're so cute together!"
OLNF Demo keeps freezing up my whole computer:(
Does anyone have this issue? At some point during the demo the whole game would just freeze, but including my whole computer !

I've been replaying the game and this moment in particular is funny to me lol. Tamarack immediate answer despite Qiu's effort made me laugh🤣🤣.
Ohh this is so precious! And Tamarack refusing to join is a great character beat 😂💗 girl owes nobody nothing
So true lol. She didn't even think twice before refusing🤣🤣
MC uses tackle! Qiu's hp drops by 25 points!
Considering how disappointed Qiu is if you choose to not join the club, their hp definitely took a double hit from MC and Tammy double team combo lol
Esta en español? Me llamo mucho atención wl juego
Bellissimo gioco, le texture ottime, tranquillo, ho bisogno del gioco completo :3
I remade the art of one my qiu route ocs 😛
she 's Cameron amber, I shared her before but not her old art I think. It's enemies to lovers with her n qiu in step one but they drift away in step 2. Tamarack is her best friend in both steps!
She's very into detective work and analyzing and is kind of a weeb in step 1 as you can see. Grows out of it in step 2 though. Refuses to talk at all with anyone except sometimes her mom (she found it pointless, but also interesting how people interpreted her)
old ver-
She's so pretty! I love the colors and the shading work. She looks confident!
Thank you! Cam is a very proud and confident girl, to the point that she just automatically assumes she's smarter than most people their age. This is lessened in step 2 but she's still very much a decision maker in alot of things, and is still smarter than most people her age.
THE PEAKEST DETECTIVE OF GOLDEN GROVE !!!!!!!!!!!!
HI LOONEY TOONS! She is very into detective work and is hoping to be a detective or journalist.
She is so cool! Her colour palatte is unique too! Also enemies to lovers let's gooo! Enemies to lovers dynamics are so funnn
Exactly!!! Enemies to lovers is such a good taste with Fall, I got inspo from Jamari (Justin/Dakota's mc methinks)
As you can see yea both Baxter and Sasha were friends.
ight i had to do a whole new damn comment just to post the step 1 too, damn it, why is it so hard to comment on itchio, literally made an acc just to comment on this game fr 🥹
Yayy loved how the relationship improved with Baxter from step 1! Baxter is more complex than he seems and it made me sad to see that many disliked him without really trying to understand him TwT
Yeaah, he is actually kinda cool at least in my opinion 😛

Guys is it too late to do this trend like am I late, is it over?? I have done it cuz I was very bored (I'm going to do step 1 later cuz I have school stuff to do)
Oh yea I forgot to add there is Sasha still considers Baxter her friend even though their relationship as friends has changed into Baxter seeing her as an old friend or just neutral and yes both Sasha and Qiu might be like one-sided crush or idk but not entirely because Sasha is in denial so yeaa....
(I'm sorry if you're not getting this entire text, I'm bad in my grammar:'))
Awww 💗 your mc is really pretty and she seems very friendly and kind based on her internal thoughts! So sweet that she has a good thing to say about everyone.

Omg yes please post it! I would love to see it too! I also added the blank template for others that would like to do it too! The original template is by @marzopan-art from Tumblr!
posting on behalf of seirababy
My brother posted this cus I was having issues 🥲 it wasn't working, anyway here's her relationships
So as you can see in step 1
-Andi has fallen fast for Qiu, Qiu likes her as friends but halfway through step 1 after the bike race a crush develops from their side
- Andi also crushes on Tamarack but is kinda in denial, during step 2 she actually understands she's not just a 'girl friend'.
Omg the drawings are so cuteeee! Prince Qiu with flower crown Tammy are so precious TwT! Seeing fancy Baxter made me chuckle lol and the animal ear on Darren is so cute<3! Love how creative you are with the relationship chart<3!
The crush on ren is so valid! Also, unrequited crush from Qiu let's gooo! I love seeing Qiu with unrequited crush on the MC!
Ion have anything of my dear main oc BUT have my... yumesona? Oc? Thing? Idk but I really like yi and so I give her the gift of doomed yuri
this kind of a photo from her younger years (12 years old)
Also have a pic of my oc (for a vid)
Is it bad to say that I'm invested with the idea of doomed yuri with Yi and your yume-oc? 👀 This is a nice way to see more love to other characters in Olnf ngl hahaha
Not at all! I have a habit of getting attached to underatted characters lol
Yay we got coco art! Please post more art! Your art style is so fun to look at<3!
Awww ty :)
Ohhhh HOLY MOLY! THIS LOOKS SO COOL! your art??! The palette? Chef's kiss
Thank you!! 🥺💖 I'm glad you notice them, I've been experimenting the art style in my free time haha. You're cool! 👉
LIKE MOTHER LIKE SON FR ‼️‼️ also i 100% agree with the comment before me, the colors look SOOOOO yummylicious...
Thank you!! It's one of the things I wanted to improve on my art haha. The York family appreciates your comment <33
The mother and son being not so different cracks me up 🤣 🤣. Both of them looked so good!
I know!! I like to compare them side by side haha. If Tim had kept his cranberry color, he would really look like Opal lol!
MY WIFE YI LIN MENTION 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣✌️ anyways this is sick as hell! Timothy looks so cool
Hahah, I knew you'd be happy to see Yi here! You're like her number one fan 😆💖 she's very lovely. Thank you hehe
PUNK TIMMY?!?!?! ILOVE HIMMMMMMM!!!!
My God, your art is beautiful❤️
Love it!!^^
GOOD EVENING, PEOPLE!!! (or morning) 🥳🥳 i've been on an art streak this week with my mcs and couldnt resist drawing them in cute clothes.... so that's got me wondering with a MC question....
What is your MC's fashion style / what kind of clothes do they wear?
blythe wears a lot of cyber street, soft grunge, and loose streetwear stuff. a lot of loose-fitting stuff, hoodies, warm or neutral colours (e.g. grey, green, red).
jaehwa would dress like the average mom in their early 30s 😂✌💔 a lotta long, modest dresses, turtlenecks, and LONGGG trench coats, usually in black, brown, or beige. also some old preppy stuff in navy blue or red.
ivory (my redhead oc) is sort of a modernized mori kei? just some cute stuff you'd see a shoujo girl wearing lowkey, either a LOT of soft colors or some earthy tones. lucille (blondie) highkey just looks good in everything and canonically wears anything so she's my victim for art now.
Ohhh, this is such a good question
Andi's childhood step 1 fashion style is 'chosen by mom', Andi as a 10 years old absolutely doesn't have a clear fashion sense preference as her mind only cares about play, school, and the new people she's meeting in Golden Grove. so I like to think that Opal would be the one picking her outfits lol
As she gets older she begins wearing feminine clothes, experimenting with cute and elegant style, before eventually opting as an adult for elegant/ semi-professional wear, blazers, shirts, ties, elegant skirts, high heels as well as incorporating her favorite colors, blue and purple into her fashion style.
Though she'd avoid dressing in pink shades because she wouldn't want to look too 'bubblegum-themed', given her pink hair.
Well.... for Sasha in step 1 she loved skirts and dresses A LOT while in step 2 she discovered gyaru you know the Japanese fashion subculture, so she became one. her style is basically kogal but not the shibuya kind, the hime gyaru kind you the know the cute aesthetic i guess??
in step 3 she became full on hime gyaru like light pink clothes, huge bows and etc.!!
She was supposed to be coquette but i changed my mind because the style doesn't fit her personality.
In step one, Timothy tends to wear fluffy clothing or anything that felt soft to touch in cold weather 🐑 he had a habit on fiddling either a cottonball or a faux fur as a kid
In step two, Timothy's punk style moved on and evolved to grunge style now. It kind of fits the autumn aesthetic with rock/rebel core! 🎸 But that was his usual days. For weekends, Timothy is still testing other styles in secret 👀
Hmm that's a though question but I like to think that Izzy would wear soft punk types of clothes. It suits her after all lol
this demo is awesome im so excited!!
I have a question that's been keeping me up at night: will there be two more "Our Life" VN? I mean... if two of these are set in two of the four seasons (summer and autumn), is it possible that spring and winter will have their own "Our Life"? I sincerely love these VNs so much, I'd love to see more of them
that’s such a good question actually, now i am curious!!
Currently there are no other Our Life games planned, but we're so happy you love the games. Thanks for following!
I'm so happy that someone else thought the same thing!
I made an art of all of the Our Life love interest and would like to share it here!
I love this! They look so cute!!! I really like how you drew Baxter's hair here and the playful expression 💗
Hehe thank you<3! All of them was fun to draw!
Oh and Tamarack my queen, can i just gush about how gorgeous she looks in step 3? You captured her so beautifully! Now that i notice it, the eye rendering looks quite similar to our life: beginning and always, pupils not being fully black and just overall vibe, maybe im just imagining a connection but it's really cute 🤔🥰
Hehe thank you<3! Tamarack is our special queen, being the only female love interest in the Our Life series so I had to do her justice! And
my artstyle is definitely more similar to OLBA than OLNF so yeah I can see the connection there lol🥺 Cove!! He looks so adorable in your art ahhh I don't have enough hands to hold all of the love interests >:,(
Yeah we definitely more than two hands to hold all of the love interest TwT
Here's a drawing I made of my character
Andrea or 'Andi' ... I've been thinking how she'd look based on her character doll and I finally got around actually drawing her, this is one of my favorite games, between this and the our life: BA , all I have been drawing lately is fanart and oc doodkes
She is so cute! She got that cotton candy vibe<3. Very fluffy and adorable
I'm so glad you like how she looks! I also drew her as a 14 yo and a 18 yo, but i figured i'd post these drawings after I've finished rendering them, I'd also love to learn about your different mcs, I've seen some and they all look so pretty!
Aww thank for your interest in my Mc! I also can't wait to see more of your mc too! And I agree, a lot of the MCs here are so pretty TwT
SHES SO CUUTTEEE!! I love her!!
Aww thank you!
DUDE my character's name is also Andrea or "Andy" AND she has that hair style AND she get spink hair when she grows up!!!
Lol this is funny!!
ANDI IS SUCH A CUTIE WHAT ⁉️⁉️ i agree with the other comments, her hair is totally edible and cotton candy flavoured..... also mianmian's twin yo ⁉️ (WAITINGBREEZE NEEDS TO SEE THIS)
OMG so happy you like how she looks, thank you!
ALSO WAIT.... love live pfp....?
Yep ... been watching love live since it was μ's days. I'm still into it
Your art is so prettyy!! I love how you did her hair <3 can you share any facts about your MC? I want to get to know her! :D
Sure
Andi uses she/her pronouns in every step, out of the cul-de-sac kids, she's the shyest, polite, and overwhelmed by Tamarack and Qiu strong personalities 'at first' although she warms up to them easily.
She's also a straight A student and completely invested academically. She wouldn't break rules at school or otherwise because the thing she dreads the most is adult disapproval.
She also has quite a warm relationship with her mom and her relationship with her in all steps would be positive, her love for her mother comes in the form of worrying about her feelings moving into the new cul-de-sac and wanting to take off some responsibilities from her like house work etc ...
In step 2, her social struggles appear as she becomes more shy, as a kid, friendships were easy to make. As a teen, she struggles in the environment of fellow teenagers and making new connections outside of friendships she already solidified, like with Tamarack and Qiu.
She is also interested in novels, literature. Aiming to become a fantasy novelist in the future.
Whether she ends up with Qiu or Tamarack is depended on the file, I want to try the routes of both and would create a file choosing each one for her. Especially since I find both of them interesting and I think she has a cute dynamic with both.
Andi is precious! I really relate to her shyness🥺❤️ Thank you for sharing :D
Uhmuhm HERES MY MC OKAY THANKS BYE
DND mentioned.....?
yayyyyyy moreeee!!! I still gotta do the rest of the sports tho... And don't get me started on alternate versions... It'll be fun for sure but heesh it'll take a while
Just created my account after playing the demo, I wanna be a game dev just like you guys some day.
Guys sense I was super bored.... Here is a drawing of my MC Sasha with Qiu! (In step 3)
Also, idk if you guys notice already, I don't know how to color my art so that's why most of my drawings are just sketches :')
What I meant on idk how to color my art is idk shadowing and lighting like where to put the shadows and lighting :(
Hi, I'm loving the game, it's become my favorite, but if in a future update or outside of the demo you could add other languages to the game, I'm not fluent in English and this makes it very difficult to understand certain things, which would harm my experience. I'm from Brazil, so please add Brazilian Portuguese!
We're so glad you're enjoying it. Unfortunately, there won't be any translations made, as the game is too long and complicated. We really appreciate you playing, and thank you for following us.
I drew a scene from Step 2 with Step 2 Qiu and my MC, Rose of Sharon. Looking at Qiu under the golden summer sun, Rosasharon felt his heart flutter and fall for them all over again. 😚 (Pose reference by @agabambiyy!)
Also, I’m still taking requests to draw your MCs! If you're interested, please leave a comment with:
* A picture/reference of your MC
* The pose or expression you'd like
I'll try my best to draw them in my style! ❤️
+ Requests are now CLOSED! Thanks for your interest ✨
Omg Eoris is back with another banger art! Qiu and Rosasharon looks so pretty<3!
Thank you for always coming by, Izzy! ❤️ To be honest, a face deeply in love is my absolute favorite expression to draw. 😍
OH MY LORD MY JAW DROPPEDDDDDD!!!!!
Quick, someone grab a glass of water for their jaw! 😂 Thank you! By the way, I saw your MC and... is that a ponytail? I’m OBSESSED with ponytails! And that smile in your drawing is just precious. ❤️
OMG you're atstyle is soo pretty!!!
Thank you! I’ll tell my hands to keep up the good work so they don't get lazy after such a nice comment! 😉
EORIS ART EORIS ART EORIS ART EORIS ART DROPPED WPPPOFAOFOAOOOOO

Hi (o´▽`o)ﾉ
I'm a lurker in the comment section and love your art (, do you upload on any media?). It would be a blessing to see my MC drawn by you (≧◡≦)
Here's a reference and Zephyr(step1):
I’ve finished the drawing for you! ❤️ Rain was a bit of a challenge to paint, but I hope you like how it turned out. Your MC is so charming—I especially loved the diamond-shaped highlights in Zephyr's eyes and that subtle difference in brightness between them. Such a lovely detail! 😘
(To answer your question, I only upload my art here on itch.io!)
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVE IT THANK YOUUU!!
You noticed the eye difference Σ(°ロ°) thank you for paying attention to the details ♡
It's been an honour to receive this, can I make it my profile?
(Sad to hear that but I'll just keep my eyes peeled on the comments! ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ )
I’m so glad you love it! ❤️ And of course, I’d be honored if you used it as your profile picture! It makes me so happy to know you like it that much. 🥰 See you around in the comments! ✨
THE MOST CUTIE PATOOTIE EVER??? MY EYES GOT DOUBLE BLESSED TODAY 🙏 AMEN TO EORIS ART

Her new bangs:
pose reference and expression:
Thank you so much for the love! Your MC’s design is stunning. 🥰 Please bear with me for a bit—I’ll get to work on your request as soon as I can. ❤️🔥
TYSM!! TAKE YOUR TIME IM SURE IT'LL TURN OUT GREAT! 🥹
OMG she's so pretty!!
Tyy!!
Finished another request! 🥰
I hope this meets your expectations! I actually realized later that I missed the scarf—I'm so sorry about that. 😭 It’s not perfect, but I hope you enjoy the vibe! Thank you for waiting! ❤️
OMG YOU MADE MY GIRL LOOK SO PRETTY 🥺🥺 THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! I wasn't expecting you to finish it so fast 😭
Also, it's fine! The scarf is hard to draw anyways BUT THIS TURNED OUT SO CUTEE THANK YOU AGAIN 🫶🫶
I just noticed you already changed your profile picture to the drawing!! 🥺 Thank you for the huge compliment, I’m so glad you like it that much. ❤️ Have a wonderful day! ✨
amazing work u are a super talented individual
It really means a lot to me. Glad you enjoyed my work! ✨
Helllppp! This is so ethereal! 😭 the lighting is so gorgeous! And i love your rendering and lineart, it has a hand-drawn rustic feel, both Qiu and your mc are literally glowing!
Amazing work 👏
Thank you, Seirababy! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the rustic feel of the lines and the rendering. It was so much fun working on the lighting for this piece, and your comment just made the whole process worth it! 🥰
If you still take requests I'd be happy if you drew my mc, i already posted her picture in one of the newest posts, i don't have any specific picture references in mind so you can have fun with it
I finished the drawing! 🥰 To be honest, I had this sudden 'inspiration' that a floral dress would look absolutely stunning on Andi, so I just went with my gut! 😉
I really hope this surprise matches what you were secretly hoping for! She’s so gorgeous and I had a blast rendering her. Enjoy! ❤️✨
Thank you for the beautiful surprise, she looks so incredible in your style 🥹 im so happy you went with your gut because i've personally always enjoyed dressing my ocs in big, fluffy dresses, I can absolutely see this as a dress she'd wear, also blue is her in game favorite color so it's absolutely perfect for her
You have an incredible artstyle, thank you for drawing her
ANDI THE MOST BEAUTIFUL-EST PRINCESS EVER IN THIS ART, OH MY DAYS
yknow, why not, if you’re still taking requests I got this fella.
Reference Step 2 (sorry if the images are low quality my device ain’t doing too hot today) and any pose is fine really:
Thanks for the request! Your MC looks so cool, I’d love to draw him! 🥰 Just a heads up, it's currently the Lunar New Year holiday in my country, so it might take me a little longer than usual. I hope you understand! 😚
+ I finally finished drawing your MC! 🥰 I had such a blast working on the lighting for this piece—it was definitely my favorite part of the process! ✨
I really hope you like how he turned out! Thank you so much for waiting for me during the holiday. ❤️
I would love for Dominic to be drawn in this style if possible? The art you make is so delicious I would watch any show or read any novel if this was the style
I like this pose but perhaps with him smiling?
(Edit: I took down the 'failed' version because it was too embarrassing lol! But I finally finished the new one! 🥰)
Thank you for your patience! I had so much fun drawing Dominic. By the way, I added a little secret... Can you guess whose hands are squishing his cheeks? (Hint: check the bracelet and the hoodie! 😉)
bro is STILL cutie patootie 🙏🙏
Thank you for calling him a cutie patootie even when the proportions were wonky! 😂 Hope you like this fixed version too! ❤️✨
HOLY MOTHER OF EORIS !?!?!?!? my eyes have never been so clear before..... YES, it is so peak...
.... Ren's hands????! ... also your art is incredible as always
AAANDD AT QUARTERBACK, NUMBER SIXTEEN... DANIEEEELLLL WATTTT
First of all, I want to say this demo is so wonderful that I've already read it twice and I'm not bored at all. You're doing a really great job; the dedication and love you put into it is very evident. I'll wait as long as it takes to read it completely because I truly love this visual novel. Now, I've seen that some users are sharing artwork of their MCs, and they're all so cute that I'm a little embarrassed to share mine. Besides, my art isn't that great, but it's done and I really wanted to share it. I hope my little Vladimir is well-received here. (Please excuse any mistakes; I'm still learning the languag😭)
Hello! It's nice to meet Vlad! He is so cool!
Thank you so much, your MC was the first one I saw and I thought she was very cute 😊
Aww thank you! That means a lot to me<3
ayy Howdy Vlad! He’s very Full of Life isn’t here lol
Yeeeeaaaa Vlad! 🔥
Hi Vlad!! he seems like such a little trouble maker! I'm exited to see how he develops!
Man, now I'm actually tearing up. Why do your games do this to me? I mean it in the nicest way possible
I really like this one! I love that there are so many options, including ones where you don’t actually have to speak to communicate, since I don't normally do that with other people
I'm mute most of the time, so this is nice :]
