A year and a half late to the party and damn I missed out as much as Baxter HAHAHA.

I wasn't expecting anything when I bought Baxter's DLC. I bought it along with Derek's + Cove's wedding (ald have Cove's expansion) for a super long trip that had near to zilch access to Wi-Fi. I thought I'd just run through the Derek and Baxter's DLC (I didn't mind Baxter but I liked Cove more at first), then move onto Cove's Wedding DLC. 

Lo and behold, 50 hours in and intent on digging out every piece of dialogue that Mr Monochrome has to offer. I barely touched Cove's Wedding DLC yet without seeing Baxter and thinking 'yep nevermind, I should replay w a diff OC and see what else is there'.

I'm so sorry Cove. I love fluff as much as any other person but I devour anything with slowburn, angst and mutual pining..and I can get all three with one of the route that can be taken is *chef's kiss*. 

Light spoilers for some of the moments:

I'll forever be surprised by how detailed the game is. Calling out Baxter for his 'sophisticated' texting style at the start has him calling the MC out near the end. How Baxter has the hots for people who volunteer (lolll) and I especially appreciated the parallelism of the interactive play and the 'drama' that ensued between MC and Baxter. 

All in all, Baxter is a complex character that I enjoyed throughly unravelling and understanding through many playthroughs.

On a side note, there are also some coincidences in the MC 'setting' I chose, much like how fate made MC & Baxter meet again, in the first playthrough that made me fall in love all the more. MC's name is Rhodes, named after the isle of roses, a flower as universally loved as I intended to be (cuz I was gonna basically do all epilogues in one shot haha). Then Baxter made the comment how he wanted to be someone important, but not the most important one, to someone who was important to others. 

And that was a startling fit. I don't think I can use the OC Rhodes for anyone but Baxter anymore haha.

For anyone reading this, thanks for reading me rambling. Hope you have a nice year ahead. Happy new year! 

Thank you so much for all the hard work! Please take care in the new year: hydrate, rest, connect with friends and family.

And as many others already mentioned: There's no need to feel rushed or pressured. We all love what you're doing and are willing to wait.

Also, happy new year everyone! Here's to a lovely year ahead.

Deltarune ref spotted O.O

(And omg yr drawing is beautiful. The glow and darkness contrast is just !!!!)

Demo update let's gooooo

Yooo the polaroids can be moved around that's so cool!!

Every time I come back to play through the entire OL series I'm amazed at the improvements to the art, atmosphere and diversity. Can't wait to make more memories with the charming characters! Tomorrow can't come any faster ahhhhh

Ok, I figured it out! I hope you have access to your old laptop...(or another windows device w your steam account and the game downloaded probably works too)

From my windows laptop: 

1) Steam app > Library > Our Life: Beginning and Always > Manage (gear button on the right side of the screen) > Manage > Browse Local Files > Game (folder) > You'll see dlc_step_1/2/3.rpa.

2) Copy these three rpa files and put them into google drive.

From my macbook:

3) Download these three rpa files into macbook

4) Finders > Left click OurLife.app > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resource > autorun > game

5) Copy downloaded dlc rpa files into the game folder

6) Close and open Our Life game. Check the DLC menu on the main menu and everything should be installed.

Hope this helps!

sorry, I hadn’t gotten around to it because I’ve been busy with work. I’ll let you know if I figure it out?

I’ll give it a try. Thank you for your help!

Hopefully I can get a reply here. So my windows laptop died and I switched to a MacBook. Thing is, I bought and downloaded all of Cove's Step 1 to 3 DLC on Steam on my Windows laptop. However, since OL:B&A isn't available on Mac version of Steam, I've essentially lost it all.

Is there anything that can be done to recover my lost DLCs?
