Today is the first day of fall for the citizens of Golden Grove — they would argue that the best season has finally arrived. We can't wait to make soup, crunch leaves, and throw on a cute sweater.
Most importantly, we'll be celebrating the Early Access release of Our Life: Now and Forever in roughly two months! WE LOVE YOU, FALL! 🍁
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! 🎊
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! 💫
There's a presentation, lecture, announcement, or secret fourth thing happening in the Step 2 school auditorium!
Any guesses? 🤔
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.

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

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?!
This August, we surfed with Cove, went to the boardwalk with Derek, and sat on the beach in a three piece suit with Baxter.
But most importantly, we worked hard on Our Life: Now & Forever! 💕
Check out our end of month blog here for the details ✨
Well, one of them is the paper airplane. 😅 It’s a Moment Icon, while the pins and phone case are event cut-ins.
Let's hear it for that stationary! It's just so whimsical.
Here's the latest background for the Step 2 Moment, Field Trip. This one arrives during sunset — you must be there for a quite a while.
And look, there are cups and a container on the table now. What’s about to happen here? 🍎
How extremely adorable. We studied up on Simlish to say, "Sul sul, Kira! Blarffle wibba flibbertigibbet, mibbsy wibba dag dag."
(Direct translation: Thank you, Kira! You are very creative and we appreciate you.)
Pick your favorite mid 2000s bop, grab your headphones, and get to jogging. It's only three laps, right? 😭
