What If You Aren’t Sure How Much You Can Contribute (like If You Have Real Life Stuff Going On, Or

What if you aren’t sure how much you can contribute (like if you have real life stuff going on, or just don’t have a lot of time)

Or, by the application form, if you could be a background or a character design, but you aren’t sure which one?

Or if your art style doesn’t fit with the theme?

Or if you’re an aspiring writer/artist, but not a professional one (not one of the best that is to say)?

Hi hello hello, thank you for the ask, those are important questions to answer, so, here we go :]

Project LUMEN is a passion project, and all members of the team have stuff going on irl, as such, we do not expect you to dedicate all day every day to the project, just as many contributions as you desire or are able to help us with. Just remember, this is all for fun! Think of it more as a group project haha

The background/character artist thing is supposed to be more about general art, and we will contact the folks as we decide to give them further instructions. Background artist is more about general backgrounds, like menus and UI. And character artists will each be in charge of drawing a Lifer's talking sprites, using their very own style and methods. As such, we will not request them to adapt to the game's chosen artstyle unless they want to help with other art such as overworld/battle animations, UI or items, as we wish to keep the game varied, but not inconsistent.

And as for art or writing experience, we are not looking for that and your level of expertise will not impact our decisions, we are just looking for people who are willing to aid us with this, any and all contributions are truly appreciated, whether it be just ideas, script snippets, dialogues, art, or something else. This is by no means meant to be a serious project with strict deadlines or anything of the sort, this is solely fueled by our love for the Life Series and is a tribute to the wonderful community surrounding it and their passion and talent.

Little things I don't think non-cane users would know cause Issues™, for reference in writing!

- gusty wind not only throws personal centre of balance off but if you've got a lightweight metal cane it will throw your placement of the cane off

- same goes for being driven past by busses or lorries

- uneven pavements can suck my ass the cane is meant to be parallel to your leg and this is very hard to do when the pavement isn't level

- same goes for cobbled streets, brick paved streets tend to be smoother so I love them <3

- some paving slabs get really slippy when they're wet! This often means that I lean on my cane much heavier bc I can't rely as much on even my good leg to stay stable

- yes cane height should be adjusted to account for heels/ wedged shoes it's a bit of a bastard if you used a fixed length cane

- using a cane for the first few days/weeks hurts! If u only use it irregularly/ on bad days it can hurt every time! Wrists aren't used to taking weight in this way.

Check RBs and my asks tag for more info!

Secret Life Scar x No Longer You (Epic The Musical)

I love this song (and musical) so much.

Here is a break down on No Longer You as Scar from secret life.

'I am the prophet with the answers you seek' Grian would be concerned 'the prophet', he's a watcher.

'Time, I've unlocked it' Limited life 'I see past and future running free' Can see the past life games and the future ones as their creator.

'There is a world where I help you get home, But that's not a world I know' Scar getting home from the end of Secret Life.

'What?' -Scar

'I see a song of past romance' Scarian in the desert/double life.

'I see the sacrifice of man' Scar dying in 3rd life and Grian wins.

'I see portrayals of betrayal' Grian cheating on Scar in DL.

'And a brother's final stand' Bdubs dying in Limited life.

'I see you on the brink of death' Scar on half a heart at after he killed pearl in SL.

'I see you draw your final breath' Scar drawing his last breath before dying in last life, drowning in his last yellow life.

'I see a man who gets to make it home alive, But it's no longer you' Scar getting back to Hermitcraft, his home.

'This can't be. We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells. Now you tell us our effort's for nothing?' -Scar- Scar playing, and winning Secret Life.

'I see your palace covered in red' Trader Scar's

'Faces of men who had long believed you're dead' the other lifers that though Scar would loses since he dies so easily.

'I see your wife with a man who is haunting' Grian seeing Scar (plagued by his memories of secret life) with himself.

'A man with a trail of bodies (who?)' Scar has killed a lot of peaople.

[verse repeat]

'I see a man who gets to make it home alive, But it's no longer you' Grian talking to Scar
