AWW we are so happy you liked it!! 💙 Y sí, es un bebito...🥺🥺 I have a soft spot for my dear baby boy.......

“Hey Luf. I’m a bit late, aren’t I? Sorry for that,” Zoro said. “But I’m here now, so you’d better wake up quick. We are seeing each other after two days, you know?”
@alazystranger I READ IT!!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!! GAHHHH!!!!
I just, I ADORE IT when people write the crew going on an adventure like that- like it's just another filler story in the series or something!!! Like you create ur own little world, and bits of worldbuilding, and you write the crew and their interactions so organically,,, and then the way luffy goes missing feels so well done??? It makes so much sense!!!
PLEASE GO READ THE FIC BELOW U WONT REGRET ITT!!!
This was hanging on Zoro's walls in Gloomy Island.
And November is over! This month has been filled with paperwork, organizing receipts, and so on, which isn't very fun, but it's part of the job!
We are making great progress with everything overall; merch has been ordered and we have received proof and approved it; our voice actors are already delivering the voiced names y'all paid for during our Kickstarter campaign; and more! Let's see it in detail, shall we? :^)
Our dear Raquel has been working hard (I think I say this every devlog, but damn) on reworking the sprites for the extended demo now that the Special postcards for the Kickstarter are done! For this next batch, she'll be working on Ara and Amon, so here's a WIP of how Ara is looking so far! 💜
I think you can see how her design is already more detailed and cohesive in some areas. We'll most likely ask for feedback when Amon is ready too, to test the waters with both characters like we did with Gael and Xal :^)
The street is coming to life! This background is almost ready thanks to Astro. We'll have four new locations in the Extended Demo to help with the pacing and the introduction of our world and story to (hopefully) make it perfect. Or something close to it!
In the writing department, I've so far added 7000 words to the prologue. We have one flavor choice, two personality choices (and several personality reactions), and three "relationship choices". These basically shape your relationship with Evie in this case. For example, you'll be able to choose if you are intimate friends, are warm to each other, or if you prefer something less physical / touchy. And Evie will remember that!
And this is just so far. While River has a kind of "set" personality, I want people to be able to shape some aspects of their life.
In the writing department I should also include the documents I've provided to our VAs, and to our composer, Tomás. More on that below!
We have a proper help screen! Wohoo! 💜
Now you can enjoy Ren'py's default help screen but looking a bit nicer. This is for those who are not familiar with Ren'py's usual keybindings and stuff :^)
Nothing else on the programming side this month. I've focused on writing the script and that's going to be my main job until I can actually start programming something!
As I said before, our beloved voice actors are already working on the voiced names! In fact, Xal's VA (Francfil Pontañeles) and Pride's (Pat Langner) already recorded them! A little surprise is that we have been able to add our default MC's name, River, as a voiced name. For those of you who want to play with that name, you'll also enjoy some voiced lines!
What else—ah! We are already working with Tomás for our OST, and we have settled in 19 tracks total. Those are even more tracks than we expected! This is thanks to you all, and especially thanks to those of you who ordered more merch via Backerkit. You made those four extra tracks possible!
Our merch has been checked and so far only the pins are missing a preview and therefore our approval. We had to edit some files (beginner's mistake!) but being the first time we do this, I'd say things have been rather smoothly! We'd like to be able to start shipping this month, but it may not be possible. Which is a bummer! But well, we settled in December / January, so January it is, if nothing happens!
(Don't mind the colors being too flashy here—they will look more cohesive in game!)
OH, and the last extra bit! I've been working on the personality choices, as you all know, and Kayden has been helping me make the icons that will appear next to those choices for those who are colorblind. An extra thing to make them pop and differentiate them better! I think they are pretty self-explanatory, and if not, well—that means we have to give those icons a twist!
November has been a chaotic month for me due to the aftermath of the floods and my vacation week. The rest of the team has also had their good amount of irl stuff happening around them, but we've made it! The new year is approaching faster than I thought, as per usual, and I hope we can finish 2024 on a good note!
And that's all! As always, please take care, have fun, and enjoy the rest of the week!
I apologize if this has already been asked but I wasn't sure of the answer even after reading all the asks in the archive about the subject, so I thought I'd ask for clarification! Other than Amon's route, is it possible to play as an ace MC that does not have sex with the LIs or is the MC canonically allosexual and will always have sex even if the player decides not to "see / read" the sex scenes (i.e. a fade to black style thing)? Love the game so far, excited to see what y'all do with it after it gets funded (cause let's be real, there's no way it ISN'T getting funded!)
Don't apologize anon! Talking about this is very important and I want the players to know exactly where the game stands on. Also, taking advantage of your ask to also reply to this one:
+18 NSFW sexual content will be STRICTLY OPTIONAL. If it gets funded, Kickstarter Backers will have the option of telling us if they'd like the NSFW chapters to be included in their pledge. These chapters are DLCs that are separated from the full game, so don't worry. You won't have to play through any sexual content if you don't want to.
So, except for Amon, you'll be able to play as a fully asexual MC. There will be options to just say "I don't want to have sex right now" and options to talk to the LIs about the MCs asexuality. You'll also be able to stop the sexual scenes whenever you want, and a special scene will play. You can also skip the scenes if your MC is allosexual but you don't want to see the scenes.
Envy, for example, falls into the asexual spectrum. They don't feel sexual attraction as a norm (which is the same as saying they experience very limited sexual attraction / desire), but they are sex-favorable. They, however, won't feel sexual attraction for you until they are in love with you.
Also, as always, don't hesitate to educate us in any matter. I identify as asexual myself, but that doesn't mean I can't be misinformed, use terms the wrong way, etc.! 💜
PD: Thank you for your kindness! T_T We are so nervous about our KS, but we will keep working very hard so Lost in Limbo can become a thing! 🥹
how were cécile and lazaro like as children?
✦ Lázaro is the fourth of six siblings, so being right in the middle, they were often overlooked by their parents. Not on purpose, but their childhood was pretty solitary besides getting along pretty well with two of their sisters.
They were deemed weird, too feminine, too shy, and so on by their classmates, so they didn't have many friends as a kid.
Their gender non-conformity, as well as other stuff that's spoiler, made them leave home pretty early, at 16 years old. The rest you'll find out during their route :^)
✦ Cécile is an only child. He had a pretty standard childhood—was popular in the neighborhood, came from a loving and well-positioned family, and had a tightly-knit group of friends. He was brilliant in school. The magisters often said he had a great future ahead, and he received one of the greatest honors a Limbanian can receive: he was accepted as a candidate to become a Secutor.
The rest, you'll have to wait for Gael's route, or his :^)
[Toon x Mobster] The man and the ghost. Another side characters!! I'm gonna be spending some time drawing some of 'em since the world/story is expanding.
These two were inspired by two of my favorite novels, My Iyashikei Game and My House of Horrors! (Please go read them :)
Hugo Marshall is a unemployed man who rented a cheap apartment rumored to be haunted because of his piss poor finances after he got let go from his job. He didn't believe the rumors until he moved in and was scared by the lady inside the apartment with him!
After a bit of digging online and from asking neighbors/nearby residents, he discovered that Lady Red had been murdered in this very same apartment and was now haunting it, her soul tainted with resentment and unable to pass away peacefully.
He felt sad about her story and wanted to help her out, but he was also doing everything he can to stay in the apartment without her killing him because he really didn't have anywhere else to go.
Eventually, the man's sincerity to help began to rub off on Lady Red and she grew to rely on him to investigate her death, in order for her to take the souls of the ones who put her in this miserable situation.
Hugo Marshall was flattered and charmed that she decided to trust him, and this was the mark of their relationship progressing into something romantic.
