[Toon x Mobster] drawing dump (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
Jack's stupid inconsistent side profiles, I'll fix that one day.
For the Cécile fans, here's his sticker design made by our wonderful merch artist, Dess! 💜 Even if his route isn't funded, we'll work hard so those of you who want some merch of him can at least get something, if not now, then in the near future!
The ask about the LI's favorite family member was interesting. Now, what about their least favorite family member ?
Y'ALL WANT THE DRAMA!!!
Btw, this doesn't mean they hate that family member—just means they're less close, or they're too different, etc.
✦ Amon: None??? Genuinely??? I'd say Gael because he lectures Amon a lot lol
✦ Raeya: Envy
✦ Gael: Envy
✦ Envy: Father Pride
✦ Ara: Envy
✦ Xal: Father Pride
✦ Father Pride: Envy
....the Envy slander is strong here
Many have been discussing what would happen if Zoro died before Luffy became the Pirate King or, simply, if he died before Luffy, but let me bring up an idea:
What if Luffy died before becoming the Pirate King and fulfilling his dream? What if Zoro fulfilled his dream of being the greatest swordsman but without his captain by his side?
Can you imagine the pain, the anger, the sadness he would have to carry? Once he fulfilled his promise to his captain and his best friend, what is left for him? What is his purpose?
Then, one day, he hears rumors, about a new pirates willing to find the One Piece and finish what Luffy couldn't. What would be his reaction? Apathy? Sadness? Or maybe, just maybe, it would be rage.
It would be the converted pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, the demon, the king of hell. The one who seeks out those naive people who dare to go for the One Piece and finish them off.
If his captain, if Luffy, could not be king of the pirates, no one else would ever be.
*pokes the eye in the judgement room with a stick to see what'll happen*
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!
I have a question about the artbook and the new spites. Will they be included since the art style for the characters is changing or will it be released with the original sprites?
Yes! One of the reasons why the artbook is going to take a bit longer than the rest of the merch is because it includes all the art from the extended demo's prologue. That means the new sprites and their concept art, the new backgrounds... :^)
I have a fun question!!!! Wait, two. Is that allowed? Anyway: if the LIs played a D&D campaign, what would classes would they choose? Now if they were characters in a D&D game, which classes would they BE? I was playing BG3 today and this crossed my mind!
Your first question has been asked by someone else too, so I'll answer to the second and reply to the other person with the first next time! :^)

✦ Father Pride: Cleric - Light domain
✦ Lázaro: Bard - College of Swords

Forced mouse movement is not okay. Ever. Uninstalled and unfollowed. Never do that again.
I want to assume this ask was sent to express discomfort over a feature of the game with somewhat of a good intention. However, it doesn't feel that way.
We weren't going to reply to this initially, but after checking this is not an accessibility issue, we want to use this as a way of reminding people that small developers are not faceless corporations with endless patience and no will to respond to rudeness.
I'd like for you all to keep in mind the way you word things. There's a line between "feedback", "expressing discomfort / disagreement" and whatever this is.
No, you don't get to tell a small creator, artist, developer, how to use their tools. You can express your opinion. You can make suggestions. Small developers want to take care of their audience, because their audience is what allows them to keep working on their games. I'd like to believe every indie developer appreciates and values their audience, and wants to listen to their wants and needs.
However, you don't get to have a say in every little aspect happening in the media you consume. You are absolutely free to have your opinions, express them, have a conversation, and move on. This is not what's happening here.
There was absolutely no need to come to our ask box to say using a narrative element, a tool provided by the engine we use, is "never okay" and to "never do that again". You don't get to decide that. We don't know what response or reaction you were expecting. There is obviously no desire for improvement or dialogue here.
Our demo is free, the content warnings are clear, and the "dark fantasy" and "horror" tags are there. If there's a need to add more content warnings, everyone following us knows they are welcome to inform us about it. I think we've made sure everyone feels comfortable reaching out to us with their opinions since we started publicly working on LiL. Our ask box and our DMs are always open for everyone.
But there will be spooky elements. Agency will be taken away from you. You will feel happy, loved, frustrated, angry, and sad. That's the game we want to make. You can try out the demo, find out you are not comfortable with whatever elements are in it, and decide not to engage any further with it. You will always be free to stop supporting us and our game any time and for whatever reason.
The use of this tool, the forced mouse movement, is justified and adds to the storytelling. We didn't use it deliberately just for the funsies. It shows that there's a higher power trying to control you, and it prepares you for the fact that sometimes this power will be greater than you.
Again, you are absolutely free to uninstall and unfollow, but I advise you not to go to another dev with this much entitlement telling them what to do or how to tell their story this way. You don't like it. It is not made for you. You are not the target audience, and that's completely fine. Curate your space and give some love to the small developers of your favorite games.

What sort of nicknames or pet names do the love interests + unlockables like to call their partners? And what kinds do they like to be called in return?
✦ Amon: Calls their SO (significant other) "babe", "baby", "sugar", "honey"... Obviously can't forget about "bunny". He doesn't have a preference when it comes to him, though.
✦ Raeya: "Dear" or "sweetheart" for both her and her partner. Surprise her with something cheesy to make her blush.
✦ Gael: "My love" is his favorite, both for him and his partner. Also uses "my sunshine" for them.
✦ Envy: Not really into pet names. Likes their partner to call them by name, by their true name, and does the same.
✦ Ara: Sweetie, pumpkin, cutie pie, strawberry boo, bubba, kiwichoo-choo...cheesy things and made-up pet names are her thing to call and be called! Also likes calling their partner "gorgeous" and LOVES being called "princess"!
✦ Xal: Tries to use "cutie" or "beautiful" on his partner but always thinks he sounds cringe. Any pet name they use on him will make his knees go weak, honestly.
✦ Father Pride: "Dear", "darling", or "beloved" for him and his loved one.
✦ Lázaro: Also a "darling" person. Would call their SO "my star" or "my heart". Would like any pet name they think suits them.
✦ Cécile: Would kill to be called your love. "My love", "my everything". Calls you exclusively by name.
