Hi!! I'm Unsure If You Guys Will See This, But After Reading Your 2024 Wrap-up I Wanted To Send Some

Regarding the DANA in Valencia

Hello folks, it's Raquel talking this time. We wanted to let you know that except for some material damage, all the Ravenstar team, their friends, and family are safe after the DANA occurred in Valencia. These have been some really devastating days for not only Valencia, but also other Spanish communities that have been affected. In the case of Seyl, our director, she's fortunately now out of her city, Paiporta, one of the epicentres of the catastrophe. Due to the fact that she still cannot return to her home and there is no water or electricity there, it's difficult for her to have access to some of the files to continue working on LiL stuff. But hopefully, in a few weeks everything will be normalized little by little.

We would be grateful for any donation you could provide to the citizens. We'll include some links below:

• The Spanish Red Cross (CRE) is a voluntary institution that operates under the protection of the Government of Spain HERE

• Gofundme campaign for the affected people HERE

• Gofundme to help the families of l'Horta Sud of Valencia HERE

We will try to add more links! Thanks to all of you who have been concerned about our safety and well-being.

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?

✦ The LIs and pet names!

✦ 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.

[Toon x Mobster] They were worried for him.

Just a small drawing of them after what happened in the story so far.

What do the characters do to deal with stress?

✦ What do the characters do to deal with stress?

✦ Amon: Takes a loooooong bath in the private baths of the palace. Smokes his most expensive tobacco and gets a massage—all at the same time.

✦ Raeya: Prepares tea. Like really preparing tea from start to finish. She picks the leaves, prepares them, boils the water, creates her own tea mix... and after all the process, she drinks it. In silence.

✦ Gael: Plays the piano or the harp, without a music sheet or an idea. He just plays, lets his emotions flow freely, and it helps him clear his mind.

✦ Envy: He walks to the beach to watch the stars or sits on a bench in the gardens and just watches the birds.

✦ Ara: She does some farming! She goes to have a talk with the many animals living with her, pets them, cleans their homes—whatever that puts her mind back on the present.

✦ Xal: Stress is his way of life so it's pretty difficult for him not to be stressed. On a lucky day he'll be able to focus completely on a project and spend hours and hours working on it, enough to make him forget about whatever he was stressing about for a while at least.

✦ Father Pride: He usually doesn't have time to stop being stressed to begin with, but he likes to sit down and read something. Maybe light some scented candle.

✦ Lázaro: They clean! Clean the windows, or behind the fridge, or the bathroom. Clean as in cleaning profusely and in depth.

✦ Cécile: Rarely stressed. Bad sign if he's stressed. He smokes a cigarette. And if that doesn't work he folds paper (kind of like origami) to regain his focus.

cain, first... son of man.

limbo prophesies of a wanderer of worlds who will save them all from harrowing grief. and what have they, now? the man in chains before the 7 sovereigns is, for certain, a wanderer.

a wanderer in the sense a criminal runs; a wayward child betrays their home; a leper lingers on the outskirts of town.

to save... what a heavy word.

even god will purge you through the fires of hell before you are cleansed, for this is the salvation he pledged to mankind.

to save— could limbo handle such bitter redemption? the 'chosen one' is not always the martyr.

my mc who's gonna romance cécile BECAUSE WHO AM I KIDDING RAGHHHHH CÉCILE!!!!

this man is a convicted criminal btw lel

“do you think Luffy knows about ‘nothing happened’”: still painful but not as new, well known and discussed by now

“do you think mihawk and perona know what happened to Zoro after he fought King bc mihawk made him a vivre card”: FRESH, IMAGINATIVE, GOING TO HAUNT ME FOR MONTHS

@where-does-the-heart-lie this is what your Sabo + G5 art did to me are you proud

@andaniellight remember how I said I had a some sketches of awakened!Perona yeah this is related

[Toon x Mobster] Not canon, drawn for fun.

I didn't make this to make fun of these people btw, this is just me making these two react to it in-character.

Slow down on the drinks, Qin 😆 ( Side note...how big is that chair actually? He looks so small when sitting in it. He can even cross his legs on it! )

( I'm not shutting up about Qin anytime soon it seems 👉👈

My apologies to everyone who follows me and see this guy in their pages

He is cute okay?! 🥺 )

✦ Lost in Limbo Devlog #14 | 12.02.24

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!
