I got into A situation, Struck a deal with The desert devil, In the end I Should've guessed, I made mistakes I can't repent I can't escape, This bond of fate, With the sand crushed Beneath my feet Dug into My bloody hands, Under burning heat
ā¦
I made mistakes I've never made, And I must pay for them, I've laid awake Just for your sake, And now I must repent. Honestly, this Wasn't how I Thought it would go, Truthfully, Listen to me, let's try to take it slow! I can't escape, This bond of fate, There's sand beneath my feet Dug into My bloody hands, Under burning heat From pranks and pits To fights with fists, Is it you and I till the end? From tricks and tombs To empty rooms, Are we even friends?
.
I've made mistakes Can't help but hate, Struck a deal with The desert devil, Pranks to pits, To fights with fists, Tying up our wrists? Too late to Set my fate straight, Dug my grave with Another's shovel Murder maps and broken traps, We'll never be friends.
ā¦
Bargain with me A fantasy, to Pretend you'll be fair, It's how you work, Your ways for days, The ultimate businessman So shake his hand And make us laugh, (ha!) You've been tricked and fooled, An eye for an eye, A heart for a heart, or Friendship for some shoes. I can't escape, This bond of fate, There's sand beneath my feet Dug into My bloody hands, Under burning heat Smile and sing, Dancing, laughing Then fate pulls the rug under us, Die within The cactus ring, I watch you drop to death!

ā¦
(Ive fallen in love, With the thrill) (As I've never heard, Screams so shrill) A bouquet You hand me, Of lilacs and poppies, I can see, It struck me, That I never left you, The real test, where Do loyalties lie, As I try not to cry, Die within The cactus ring, Upon a loved one's grave.

Have you ever wondered how the Life Series would look like as a videogame?
Then I bring to youā¦
Ever wanted to relive the stories woven by the Watchers, exceeding the limits of what Minecraft is able to offer? How about venturing in a perilous journey full of twists and turns, and most importantly, loooooooooooore?
Well, why hello there! To kick off the start of 2025, Kori, Arto and Pinkie here, and we are proud to present āProject LUMENā! Our newest scheme to conceptualize and develop a video game based off the traffic-colored hearts we are all so familiar with. An ambitious project, thatās for sure, and that is why we are opening applications to join our little team, right on time to welcome the new year! :]
Once a pile of jumbled, senseless ideas, Project LUMEN has evolved into a more fleshed-out collection of story beats and mechanics. An RPG-like game revolving around the tales within the Life Series, a collection of death games ran by the mysterious deities that call themselves Watchers. The player takes on the role of the Watcher Child (affectionately referred to as WC), following and guiding the Champions chosen by the Watchers themselves through challenges and enemies. Featuring unique leveling systems, DnD inspired classes, and, most importantly, the ability to impact the story with the choices you make⦠because, after experiencing all the Life Series seasons from both the Watcher and the Player side, maybe youāll have a change of mind. After all is said and done and seen, the world is yours to shape, Watcher Child.
Right, so thatās a basic summary of the concept we have, now hereās a little preview of what we have written for the prologue :3
The player takes the form of a Watcher in training, an ageless child, the Watcher Child. The most powerful and ancient Watchers, unexplained cryptic creatures that live up to their name by watching all, talk about a new series of experiments they have been running, called āThe Life Seriesā.
The only rundown that the WC was given was that aĀ carefully selected group of talented players were asked to test their little Life game for them, where they each have only three lives. Whoever survives last, wins.Ā There were no rules as to how they could play the games. The Watchers then add that they, along other WCs, will be observing from the viewpoint and thoughts of one of the players. This is so the WC can get an idea of the Watchers' work. Of course, our little WC was ecstatic and ever so curious about this new idea.
Fast-forward (and after a couple of tutorials showing off the bare basics of the battle mechanics in the actual game), now our WC was standing in a circle with other apprentices just like them. The Watchers then hold a deck of mystic cards in front of each of them, and everyone picks one. When the cards are revealed, our WC sees a glowing, red card with a person on it. The card simply said, "THE SUN".
Huh, I wonder who could that beā¦
Now, we get into the thick of it: who are we searching for to join our team? Well, there are some requirements that the potential members should fulfill, hereās a comprehensive list of key points:
We are mainly looking for artists to help us with designs, sprites, backgrounds and UI. Although, we also welcome any writers willing to help us with developing concepts and adding more ideas!
Every person who applies should be involved with the Life Series fandom, we want to build a team with people as passionate about this Minecraft series as we are!
When answering the Application Form, please type in your favorite type of flower (in case you do not have one, just write 'sunflower') in the "Anything else to add?" part, this is only to ensure you've read the announcement :]
Welp, glad you asked. The current plan is, while the applications go on for a week or two, constantly post pieces of concept art and just story bits on this blog, then all the people selected to join the team will be added to the blog as members. We plan to post updates, concept art, sprites and small lore drops periodically on that blog to hopefully garner an audience, and it will also be open for asks and suggestions so that, even if some users arenāt part of the team, they can still help bring this absolute beast of a game to life. Ideally we will work on a small demo experience first with placeholders and stuff to just get the mechanics right and get some testers, and after that, use all feedback, polish the art, deliver a beta version for playtesting, then fix the last details and then release the full version on itch.io, thatās our roadmap. :D (there's the possibility to also publish a browser version to Newgrounds with mobile compatibility tho, so mobile users do not fear!)
Well, Project LUMEN is a very, very hefty task, a big plan to undertake, and, in all honesty, too much work for only three people. Also, talking from experience, having other person involved in development has helped LUMEN to give gigantic steps, helping to ground ideas and give inspiration, now, imagine how far we could go if we had more people in this squad. We are not only looking for artists, we are looking for people whom we can brainstorm with and throw concepts around to polish them and grow the game even more. However, we also wish to keep the team directly working on the game fairly reduced, we are thinking 3ā5 people more, but depending on the amount of responses we have, we might consider expanding that number.
The spirit of the game is to be made by the community for the community, we want to offer a quality game, and, by working together, we will be able to make Project LUMEN the best it can be. Though, you need to be aware that this project is solely fueled by the passion we have for the Life Series, and we will not profit off it at all. Please, take into account that this is likely going to be a months-long project, and only apply if you are willing to put in the effort in the long-run, thatās all we ask for.
On the bright side though, by joining in the developing of the game, youāll be able to contribute to it as much as youād like, change anything, add anything! Youāll have your rightful spot in the credits and probably a cameo in-game, the team may be small, but we know that, with the right people, we will be able to get it done (cleo is in the storyline too dw).
ill add a bio and pinned comment soon but until then she/her uh yea i like animating and life series but i got other obsessions too! @artooftheghosts and @xx-Owl-xx r my friends! go check em out
