We watch, and you soon will, too. It is a pipedream we all live in. It starts with you and ends with us. Perhaps you'll listen the first whispers of those who speak.

Presenting to you: the super secret [R̶͓͚̼̳̠̥̰̫̳͂̂̒̋̂̋͂̚̚͜͠͝E̸͎̳͆͛́͋̾͠͝D̷͎̼̬͔͛͂A̶͙̻̺̳̾̈͌̀̽͋͆͒̄̏̕͝C̸͔̬̅̊̏̅̑̏͌̂͒́̉͆̿̚Ţ̴̨̞̯͈͈̻͖̹̙̐̓́̀͐̔̃̎̃̅̿͝͝͠Ẹ̸̃́̒̍̾̅̅͝D̴̛̮͍͈̙͖̙̿̍̇̇̎̄̿́͘̕] project!

I'm excited to announce that we have a YouTube channel for Project LUMEN! Our first video is an informational one about what we're doing, but we put a lot of effort into making it fun. There's also a sneak peek of art that's going to be in the game... so check it out!

Make sure to subscribe because we have more planned to share on there! The video itself tells you a few of our plans... hehehe.

-Pie <3 (Also Kori with some outside help!)

We're coming for you. Where you least expect it. Where you're most comfortable. Don't look behind you.

Expect something big extremely soon...

Announcing: Sketchy Saturdays with Project LUMEN!!!!!!!

Why hello there! Pie here, coming to you from the trenches of background art!

To give a little fun, Project LUMEN is happy to announce we’re going to be doing weekly posting called Sketchy Saturdays! This is where every Saturday we post art related to the project for you all to enjoy. There will also be fun things like behind-the-scenes sketches of backgrounds, talking sprites for the game, and more >:).

There will also be Writer Wednesdays, where our lovely writers can yap about the game's lore (without spoilers, of course), share cute little pieces they’ve made in the universe, short stories, and some other awesome stuff related to this brilliant project! But that'll come later.

Today we bring you Watcher Child art from behind the scenes. Next week? You’ll just have to wait and see <3.

Artists in order of the art shown:

Pie, Owl, Arto, Goner, Charly, Pie, and Charly (Below).

We very much appreciate the excitement there is about this project! We still have more fun things to come, so keep an eye out! See you all next week for the next edition of Sketchy Saturday <3 If you can't wait that long, then here's a special little sneak peek for a lil funsies <3

(A very delayed intro)

A new person flops onto the stage!

"Hello everyone! I'm Pie (@thedoomedpie), and I've finally escaped the watche- overcome shyness to introduce myself to you all!

I'm a background artist for this beautiful project, and I'm also king of the background artists (very loosely) and the Leader of [ⱤɆĐ₳₵₮ɆĐ]! I'm the first resident aussie (Tay's been demoted to third, Kori's the second (liar)). I love things like black holes (I'm currently studying astrophysics in uni!!!), Pearlescentmoon (among literally every other lifer), and I love everyone I've met working on this project! Feel free to ask me literally any questions!!!

You'll see me very soon for some fun new things! Peace!!!"

Will there be desert Duo/rancher duo angst or anything wholesome

We have both angst and wholesomeness in store! Including but not limited to Renchanting, Desert Duo, Ranchers, the 3Gs, and pretty much all duos/teams, there's something special for all of them :3

[project-lumen]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

not only the chance to interact with my favorite characters but you get to be in the universe? amazing!

you guys are doing amazing and I'm so freaking excited!! keep up the good work <3

‼️‼️

[project-lumen]

Hi hi! I had two questions! Are you guys writing every season of the life series, or just one? Two, do you know when new applications might come out? I'm totally not obsessed with joel and totally wouldn't be willing to write him wink

Hello hello! Thanks for the questions :3

We are writing them all, every single one, all seven. >:3

Mmmmmm, we are thinking about opening applications again around August-September, so stay tuned! :D

I wanna see the blorbos tortured in a methodic and scripted manner, and this project gives exactly that <3

(to be clear I love them, torture and angst are my blorbo love languages)

‼️‼️We love torturing blorbos in this Project‼️‼️

[project-lumen]

hello! this isn’t a question but i just wanted to say that i think this is so cool, especially because i’m considering going into game development in the future! it’s so awesome that 2 things that i love are being combined!! (life series and game design/developement)

that’s all, i hope everyone working in this lovely project has a great day <3

I think that project LUMEN is really really cool! People make fanworks in so many different mediums, whether it be writing, art, cosplaying, edits, or other ways. I’m very excited to see that list expand into video games. Also I love the Watcher lore and getting to play in a game that has them will be epic. Cannot wait to see how project LUMEN turns out :D

》》The LUMEN Positivity Initiative 《《

Aye fellas! Kori here!

I'm writing this post because ✨️today's my birthday and I am making it everyone's problem.✨️

As you may or may not know, Project LUMEN was my idea, or well, I put the original concept on the table and then Arto snatched it and ran with it and here we are, two months into active development, give or take.

Some milestones we have reached:

- Half of the Last Life script is written (thanks Teri)

- A couple backgrounds are ready

- I'm slightly more knowledgeable in Unity

- Character talking sprites are coming along!

I started not knowing what I was doing. And I still do not know a thing. But we are making progress, and it's all thanks to the wonderful LUMEN Team.

So! I wanted to do a thing for them, a gift for them, if you will. However, I need y'all's help.

I need you to tell us, what do you think about Project LUMEN? Are you excited for it? Why?

It is a tough process, and I just want the team to know that people are excited for this, a little boost of motivation, a bit of positivity in these trying times. Soooooo, drop in our asks or make a post and tag us! >:3
