Darn. Yes, sometimes devices just aren't compatible, though this is uncommon. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully you can find some other way to play.

Thank you so much for sharing and helping others! We really appreciate you!

Unfortunately not, nor will we be able to do any kind of translations for it at a later time. But thank you for following!

Unfortunately not, and we probably won't ever be able to add any translations to the game. But we appreciate you being here!

Are you able to get into the "CONFIG" menu before it crashes? If so, go into there and turn off animations before attempting to start a new game. Sometimes devices have issues with those.

Sorry to hear that! Is there some kind of error message you get when this happens? Another thing that sometimes causes this is your device's in-built security features, which flags executables like our game as "dangerous". You can go into your security settings and give it permission to open. Hopefully we can get this solved for you.

There will not. Beginnings & Always is fully complete, but we're so grateful you're here with us in Sunset Bird!

Great! Thanks so much for playing.

That is strange. No obvious solution comes to mind, but I'll raise this with our lead programmer and see if they have a better idea. We appreciate your patience!

Thanks so much for following, and for your generous desire to support the game. Following us here or on our socials is always helpful, as well as purchasing our other games, or supporting us on Patreon. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting your name added to the credits at this point, but we deeply appreciate you being here. Have a wonderful day!

Hello! We are sorry you're having trouble. We just wanted to check, were you able to get it resolved OK? Based on your reply, it seems like maybe you did, but we wanted to make sure, in case there was something else we could do to help. Thanks so much for following!

Thanks so much for playing, but sorry you're having trouble! When exactly does this happen? Is it like you're on the MC customization screen, and touch the nameplate area, and the keyboard just doesn't come up? Or it disappears after you start typing? Hopefully we can figure this out.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to have any translations made for the game; it's simply too big and complicated for that. We hope that isn't too disappointing, and really appreciate your support! Have a lovely day.

Thank you for playing! We really appreciate it :)

Hello! There won't be any new content made for OLBA, but you may be interested in the DLCs (some include suggestive and 18+ content) if you haven't played them yet.

That original estimate was made before the current roadmap. The Early Access launch is still planned for this year, but yes, the full release won't be until 2027. As always, thank you all for being here with us!

No, only Kickstarter backers were able to submit names, and the list is finalized. Sorry if there was any confusion!

We're so glad you enjoyed the demo! As for voiced names, those were submitted by Kickstarter backers, and you can find the full list here:

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! What does the error message say, exactly? Can you get a screenshot of it?

The base game for Now & Forever is going to be so huge, there won't be time to include alternative romance options. Thank you so much for following!

Hopefully I can help! Where exactly is the process breaking down? Do you see the application file (OurLifeNF with a little acorn icon)? Are you getting some kind of error message?

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you loved sharing moments with Cove. Unfortunately, there won't be any more content for Beginnings & Always. That story is complete, but we hope you can continue to enjoy visiting Sunset Bird whenever you want.

If you mean for the beta build, that just means you get access to new Moments as they are added, which happens every month. Thank you so much for following, and we deeply appreciate any and all support from our wonderful fans!

Makeship, the third party we use, does ship internationally, but you would need to check their website for specifics. Thanks for following!

Sorry for the delay. If you're on PC, could you share a screenshot of your "game" folder? That will let us look for potential issues. Thank you!

Now & Forever will not release on GOG at the same time as other platforms, and may or may not make it on GOG at all. Not just any game can be on there, so it's not entirely up to us if that happens. Thanks so much for following.

Unfortunately there is no iPhone version. It is something we'd like to implement someday, but aren't sure when. Thanks for following!

Hello! We're doing well, and thanks for following. Voiced Names were all submitted by Kickstarter backers, and we actually have the full list of names here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cG91VF0Rqyvso8jwXqxKm0iSDNM6ry2j6FYUqByW3lg/...

There won't be any additional DLCs for OLNF, as the full game will be incredibly long. Thank you for following!

Now & Forever has a similar structure to Cove's story, starting as a kid and growing up, with two leads instead of one! But the focus on the player's choices, and an affirming, emotional experience, is still like Beginnings & Always. Thanks for following.

Hopefully I can help! What platform are you playing on?

Our sprite artist is redridingheart! Thanks for following.

Hopefully I can help! What platform are you using?

Darn, that usually works, and yes, some devices just aren't compatible with the game. Sorry about that. We deeply appreciate your patience, and your interest in the game, and hope you can find some other way to enjoy it!

Yes! There is an Android version available here on itch.io. Thank you for playing.

Oh, that changes things. A lot of times, Android devices have in-built anti-virus software that force closes apps like ours that it flags as "suspicious". You might have to go into your device's security settings and adjust your permissions to give the game full allowance.

OK, I think I've got it: you can open the game itself and access the settings menu, but when you try to actually play, it closes without any messages. Thank you for that. What platform are you playing on: PC or Mac?

Do you mean when you try to download it from itch.io, it fails? When this happens, can you click on the little download icon on the top bar and see what kind of error it's giving you? Usually it will say something like "Download failed", and this might help us figure out what's going wrong.
