- Our Life: Argentina and Turkey Currency Update - 31 October 2023
Hello! Steam is updating how currencies are handled for Argentina and Turkey and Our Life: Beginnings & Always prices were updated to support that. We've changed the prices for the Argentina Peso and Turkish Lira, and added prices for the new LATAM-USD region and MENA-USD region. I'm not sure if it will show immediately or if it will take time to fully roll out on Steam, but I do want players to be aware of what's going on. Thank you for the support!
- Our Life: Beginnings & Always - The Last Major Update - 23 June 2023

Thank you all once more for the kind messages and feedback over the dozens of months of development. It was an incredible experience. And though Our Life: Beginnings & Always won't get further DLCs, GB Patch Games will still be around to make new stories! We hope to see you around again sometime.

- Our Life 1.6.1 - 6 October 2022
Hello! Thank you to everyone who has played the Derek DLC, and thank you for the feedback on it, too. We've released a patch to solve some problems people were having. Mainly, there were issues if you loaded an older save in the middle of Step 2 and did the Derek events. And sometimes Soiree wouldn't count as completed for the Derek DLC even when you did the event, so Derek's version of Step 4 couldn't unlock. There were also small typos/visual errors that were fixed up along the way. One occasional issue that's more personal device based is that sometimes the Derek DLC, or any other DLC, installs but the main game doesn't register recent updates. We've now added in a pop-up to let players know if they end up in a situation where their DLCs are current but the base of Our Life is out-dated. DLCs can only work properly if the core of the game has all of its new changes/additions as well.…

- Wedding DLC Release Date & Plushie Poll! - 1 February 2022
It's official, the Wedding DLC is done and we're creating the build to launch! But there were also other things that came together around this time that we'll be releasing as well. So, here's everything that'll be available on February 7th- ▴The Cove Wedding DLC itself ▴The voiced lines for Step 4 Cove saying the name options on the Voiced Name Screen, in both the base game and the wedding DLC ▴Fixes for some of the lingering errors in the main game, including the problem Linux users have had getting the game to launch ▴Updates to how the DLCs are managed/implemented to make it better overall Along with that wonderful news, there's another special thing happening. You see, just in case it becomes relevant, I was wondering what kind of Cove plushie people might be interested in getting for themselves if those were to exist. For the next few days we'll be running a poll on Twitter where y…
- Our Life: Happy Anniversary!!! 🎉 - 16 November 2021
It's really been a full year since Our Life: Beginnings & Always launched. I've had a long time to write a message for this occasion, but I'm doing it not many hours before it has to go up, aha. I could never figure out exactly what to say. A lot of Our Life itself came about the same way. I had things I knew I wanted to express and it was hard to know how, so I just started writing what I could and would see what happened. When developing the project, I wasn't confident that Our Life would mean what it did for me to anyone else. But over this past year the story reached so many more people than I ever would've thought, and it was an experience that meant something to a lot them. Me and everyone on the team were able to make our players feel welcomed, reassure them when they were worried, calm them when they were stressed, and cheer them up when they were sad. The kind messages, thought…
