Hello, everyone!

We’ve received over 800 reviews on Steam after releasing the new DLC! Thank you so much!

As 2021 comes to a close, that means it's time for the annual Steam Awards! We're delighted that our game has a chance to be nominated this year.

Initially, we considered going for Outstanding Visual Style or Best Soundtrack. After some debate, we finally decided to apply for the Sit Back and Relax category. We hope everyone can get relaxed when playing our game. :)
But if you think our game deserves to be nominated for other award categories, that’s totally fine with us! If you haven't decided, please nominate Growing Up for the Sit Back and Relax Award ;-)

Last but not least
Growing Up is 10% off during the Steam Autumn Sale!

And as usual, we really hope you’ll enjoy our game as you relive the adventure of your childhood days.

PS:Due to the problem in the setting of steamworks, we could only choose the 'Labor of Love' category in options, we have only released this announcement after contacting valve to solve it. Sorry we're late.:)

Hello all,

We have fixed some localization issues.

• All languages - text overlapping in scheduling list
  
• Polish - Gender issue
  
• Minor updates to Polish and Chinese localization

Hello everyone!

We’re thrilled to announce that Growing Up’s new DLC is available today!
You can get the new DLC content after update to the latest version! Enjoy.

The new DLC adds 2 new unusual jobs with unique skill trees:

Bowler

You can now head down to The Alley Way, find the perfect ball, and give bowling a try. Can you become a pro bowler or proud owner of multiple titles?

Magician

The secret of magic is another mysterious path to follow. Under the wings of equally mysterious and extravagant Daz, you will track down the secrets of magic and illusion to develop your own spectacular magic shows in dazzling theaters.



Besides these two careers, new endings, items, and skills await your discovery!

With the addition of this DLC, you can meet a total of 21 different pals for knowing, loving, and playing! The free DLC brings three new friends to your life:

Jake, a well-meaning but slightly troubled boy that can't help but get into all sorts of trouble.

Bobbie, a girl who lives for the spotlight! She’s always busy singing, acting, and performing.

Charles, meet “Hoffer”, a boy born into a political family who suffers from the conflicts between his family, identity, and sexual orientation.

After hearing your feedback, some amazing community items and the beautiful OST are now available on Steam.

You can see some of the community items here:

The soundtrack includes 30 original songs created by Jim Guthrie, Pat Robitaille, DJ Eprom, Mikromusic, and Paweł Wawrzeńczyk.
