New Side Character: Ryker

There are still plenty of NPCs for us to see in Opal City! Side characters will play supporting roles in the stories of the PC and his family and friends. They won’t work like normal NPCs and generally will only be seen during events, instead of being able to be tracked around the map. This NPC will be introduced in Lucas’ Questline. His name is Ryker and he is not the nicest kid around. Discover his and Lucas’ connection in the upcoming update! His base appearance may be updated s...

New 'Black' Hair Styles!

I am pleased to show off the new ‘Black Style’ hairs for LaaB created by Onihere! For sure one thing that was missing from the game. I LOVE how these turned out and now need to make some NPCs to rock them, already have some planned. :p I think these, along with the new skin colors, will really help people in making the boy of their dreams!

Running into Thomas

You seem to have gotten yourself in a bit of a pickle, accidentally smacking Thomas in the nose! Let’s just hope he doesn’t try to return the favor.

Lucas in Peril!

It seems Lucas is in trouble at the local park! Will you step in to help or maybe even join in the bullying? And does this hint at something more?

Hanging with Xavier

Hanging with Xavier is back and better than ever! Whose team will you be on?

Peeking in the Showers

Got to thinking about trying to send some little event previews, so here you go! These previews will contain minor spoilers to what’ll be in the new content, though no major character moments and won’t show the whole event. Think of it more as a tease for the good stuff coming later. Let me know if you want more of these! In this event, the PC discovers a sneaky little peek! I wonder who he will see?

Progress Report + New CC Menu

Hello there! We haven’t had many posts on Fanbox for a while since we’ve been working solely on event content recently. Hard to preview events without spoiling them, so things have been quiet. Rest assured, however, that work is being done! We are finishing up a few more Quests before we release the second-to-last beta. We’ve gotten a bit behind this update due to some complications, but I’m sure you’ll love some of the things we’ve been working on! In the meantime, here is s...

Trait Icons

Some of the new icons we've created for the Traits. We have some more traits planned, but these are some of the original!

New Skin Colors

Big thanks to tai_koizumi for helping us create a bunch of new skin colors! We went from have 5 to have 15! This is something I wanted to do as soon as we added Avatars. The original word-based colors were sort of a catch-all before they represented actual colors and tones. This should really help players match up their boy’s to exactly what they want.

New Skill Icons

Here are the icons we are using for existing Skills. I thought adding Icons to these and Traits would add some nice visuals to the game. Some are reused, mainly the ones that deal with school skills, since I figured the classroom icons were a perfect fit already. I also plan to reuse some of these for the Skill-Based Traits, to keep things consistent. But overall, really love how they are looking. The Cooking Skill Icon was made by Hexagonalyeti, and it very cute indeed. :P

Toggles

We have touched up Toggles a bit. Mainly adding some more and providing better explanations on what exactly the Toggles do. We’ve also put Toggles at the start of a new game and had to remove the ability to change toggles mid-game for now, as they were causing some bugs. We will keep it in the Cheats Menu probably, but with a warning. Along with that, I’ve improved the ‘Spanking’ Toggle, as it now works properly. When it is set to OFF, spanking scenes will be replaced with a shor...

Game Modes

Game Modes!

This is a feature I’ve been thinking about for a while. Mainly based on my desire to add a Hardcore Mode without cheats and with some more punishing features, such as a set Curfew and the ability to lose the game by being Expelling. This will allow us to add in more hardcore features like that without forcing it on everyone!

Normal Game mode is the same as the basic game. Everything runs normally, turning on Cheats will disable Achievements.

New Fanbox Cards!

The wonderful Onihere has created some super cool Fanbox Cards! Love how they came out.

BETA: V0.02.05B2

Here is the Beta for V0.02.05B2!

This beta is smaller on the content side, because most of it is behind the scenes stuff. But you can play around with the new NPC Schedules and the few changes/inclusions for Home Nudity!

We’ll have a bigger Beta later this month as well!

==NOTE FOR BETAS==

It is HIGHLY recommended to create a NEW SAVE for each Beta and to NOT overwrite your saves from previous versions. Betas are Betas because they may be broken...

NPC Schedules/Routes

Most of what we’ve been working on isn’t visual, so I haven’t posted anything recently. But I decided I could probably post with some information on the biggest thing we’ve changed, NPC Schedules!

Previously, NPCs had a number of ‘routes’ that they could choose from. The game would look at whether it was a school day and, before we changed it, weather. This would set up their pathing for the entire day. The only problems with this were that if we wanted to make a ...

LaaB Patch 'c' Bug Fix

Patch c

-It just fixes the Carter bug caused by my typo. Whoops

.Rar Download:

Life as a Boy V0.02.04b

Edit: Quick fix on a missed issue. Download for .zip has been updated.

Apk will be updated as soon as it can be converted, later tonight probably.

Hello there!

Here is Patch ‘b’ for the last release. It fixes some Bugs along with adding some events that were unfinished in the last update, most of which were written by contributors! Big thanks to LMonkey and Geebles for their fun events! :)

There are still some issues with Nudity tha...

Changes to Supporter Tiers!

Hello there!

I’ll start by saying that everyone who had the “Boy God Tier” before the change will still receive a Request this month, without needing to switch to the new tier. The messages should have already been sent out, so get your requests in if you want.

With that said, we are changing up the tiers slightly due to increased demand and to offer some new rewards! Below will be the new tiers. (If you were part of an old tier, you don’t need to switch over. ...

LaaB V0.02.04 "The Bare Necessities Update"

Hello there!

Once again like to thank everyone for the patience. Without further ado, I present to you the latest update for Life as a Boy, The Bare Necessities Update! This has been one hell of a dev cycle, with all the delays and everything going on, so I am very happy to finally release it!

The big part of his update is the expansion to Naturism. All the former Exhibitionist content has been moved to Naturism. You’ll find the ability to wander your home naked along...

Update posting this weekend!

Hello there!

Want to thank everyone again for their patience during this crazy update cycle. I am very happy to say that we have entered final beta and, barring any major unexpected problems, we are set to release this Sunday Night! (U.S. Time)

This update has grown a bit more than originally planned and took A LOT longer than I was expecting. Getting sick and having to set up for college this year was a mess, but I was happy to dive back into LaaB. The Updat...

New Request Clothing!

Here are some of the new clothing pieces being added this update! Bike Short, Footie Pajamas, and Onesies! These three were requests and look SUPER cute. The footie pajamas somehow make the PC look 5 years younger. Stay tuned, as the official release date will be revealed soon! We are about to enter final beta.

Butts

Woah! Ass ahoy! That’s right everyone, the wonderful Phlixel has done it again and has created for us some super cute butt zooms for us to enjoy! Alongside the frontal zooms, this allows you to view your boy along with all his best features! Currently there are 3 styles (Cute, Firm, and Big) that are shown off here with some creative blurring to meet Fanbox’s standards, I hope. We still have a bit more work we are doing on them, but they will be ready and waiting in the next update!

Click to Strip

Thanks to the wonderful MyLittlePony for helping me finish this feature which drove me crazy. That's right, you can now click to strip clothes off your boy when he is touching himself! Also, come back tomorrow for a real fun surprise!

New Northend Map

Some of you may remember when there used to be basic interior maps for Northend. Well, I am happy to say that thanks to the wonderful azumi, they are back and looking super cool! The blinking icons display what is there and can be clicked on to travel. Activities in Northend, such as Jogging, had been moved to this location. Lucas' house will also be getting an icon once it is unlockable. :P This wasn't the surprise I mentioned before, this is just another awesome thing that someone has cre...

Backyard Nudity

We are still working on the second big surprise, expect it soon, but in the meantime I thought you'd all like a little peak at this! When sneaking around at night in the buff, you can now go play in the backyard. :P

Special Unlockable Art!

Since LaaB first started getting popular, I always had a little dream in the back of my head to have special unlockable art in-game designed by Shota Artists. Little rewards that show off the characters in different art styles and situations. Well, thanks to the amazing BubblegumBupkis, we have our first unlockable art in-game! He drew the iconic scene of spying on Lucas while he is changing and he poses in his mirror, flexing in his cute little undies. I am even rewriting it to fit in mo...

Nudity Attitudes & Reactions

Part of the new update is the ability to change your attitude about being naked at home. There are 3 options, Embarrassed(Default), Shy, and Fine. These are unlocked via Naturism and can be changed in the attitudes menu. Here you can see the different changes in text and PC actions based on the set attitude. Now, you still can't do everything you can do normally clothed naked, as that will require some variation. But you can do a lot and some exclusive actions only available when nude! The ne...

Jackson Empty Lot Events

While I won't spoil them here, you can indeed hang out with Jackson in his preferred way, no clothing!

Backyard Underwear!

With the new Naturism stuff, you can now set you attitude about being in your underwear in your backyard. In fact, you can set this to shy without even needing the Naturism Skill! Not like anybody can see you back there... probably. There is also a special random event that only appears when "Practicing Soccer" in just your underwear! Have fun!

No More Soccer Place Holder!

After many years, I have finally removed the old place-holder event from the 'Practice Soccer' action in the backyard. Along with the above 'Generic Event', there is also another little random event for your cute little lads to find!
