Our team has been overwhelmed with love and support for the Early Access release of Our Life: Now & Forever. We come to you with news that has been happening behind the scenes, which we now need to share with our players. A massive increase in games submitted to Steam, mainly due to AI projects, has greatly reduced the speed in which they approve new titles. This process has pushed their approval timeline from 3-5 days to potentially 30 days. For us, this means that we are not able to guarantee OLNF's Early Access launch on November 27th, as previously thought. We want to be clear: We submitted OLNF three weeks in advance, which is usually more than enough time. But, even that may not cut it now. This holdup has left us in the dark and unable to confirm the original release date. It also means that we can't confirm a new timeline. If we aren't approved by the original date, we believe it will be sometime in December. But, we don't want to promise a new date and let you down again. We are so grateful for this community's unending patience. It is truly devastating to have to bring this to you. We promise to keep you updated as more news comes in, and we can't wait to welcome you to Golden Grove once the process is back in our hands. [This delay will not impact other releases, such as the Patreon beta, Patreon posts, and our regular updates.]
