JULY, ALREADY? Welcome to the first full month of summer. We’d bring Cove over to say hi, but he has been in the ocean for the last two weeks straight, and there’s no end in sight.
We’re five months away until the November early access launch of Our Life: Now and Forever. Can you believe it? We thank you for your patience, and are here to spill our plans for July development.
General Content Plans
I will be out of office the first week in July. If you have any queries, feel free to DM me on Discord (@brb_gaming) or email at [email protected]. I’ll respond as soon as I am back!
The window to pre-order our OLBA merch has now closed. We’re ecstatic to say that both products were fully funded by our incredible community. Thank you x1,000 for making our ORCA dreams come true! Production begins today, and they are estimated to ship on September 4th.
Development Plans
Big beta build news: The July build will have one whole new moment instead of the usual half. Additionally, as we get closer to November, there will be TWO moments each month! In July, GB plans to continue to focus on programming. She won’t write much for Step 3 next month, and will dedicate most of her time to building the game. The rest of our team plans to wrap up Step 2 assets, and you’ll see more of those sneak peeks as they become available!

Conclusion
Time to join Cove for a dip in the sea, or perhaps a walk around the farmer’s market where nothing upsetting happens at all.
Enjoy your July, and we’ll see you in August!Holden on to these hot summer days ☀️ Claire
