Sorry if I'm mistaken, but didn't you draw the art of two bunnies from last year, and one of the bunnies was yelling at the other one that happened to be a white fur rabbit, "Run white boy!" ???

Do you mean this?

They're my original characters Vasco (yellow floppy ears lad) and Machete (pointy white boy). They aren't bunnies, both of them are domestic dogs!

[p01kad0t]

There's two types of puppets

[echosong971]

Do you have a headcannon of P?

I have quite a few actually haha! I'll give you just a couple of 'em tho <3

(Disclaimer: most of these are in regards to High Humanity P unless stated otherwise)

He could always feel pain since he woke up. Pain is a sensation after all, not an emotion, and it's important for him to know what might be internally broken while fighting (even if it's...unpleasant)

Becoming FRUSTRATED by that pain, however, came later after he gained some more humanity:

Just because he's quiet and stoic doesn't mean he isn't mischievous in his own way ("Looks like you inherited Carlo's mischievous personality instead of his memories"). This is the character of PINOCCHIO we're talking about after all, a puppet who's infamous for being tricksy. He's just...less boisterous and loud about it like Carlo probably was

On occasion, P enjoys using the perceptions people have of him to his advantage, sometimes pretending he's still that wide eyed, aloof puppet who walked into the Hotel for the first time just to mess with people/pull one over on them (or maybe to get away with flustering them because oops it looks like he "forgot" he needs to wear a shirt around the hotel again!)

Following that train of thought, he likes to flex his ability to lie at times with his friends, it helps him feel a little more human sometimes. Usually his fibs are about harmless things to pull little pranks on them, not usually about anything important (unless he feels it's necessary):

He doesn't normally talk unless he has to, preferring to converse with body language/signals if he can get away with it. He may indulge in the occasional ramble though if you're someone he really trusts/knows, i.e. Gemini

He may have just been "born" very recently, but he's always had the mental capacity of a fully grown adult, even as he stumbled his way through discovering his newfound humanity (i.e. he's more-so inexperienced, rather than innocent). The concept of a "childhood" fascinates him, having never really experienced one himself

I have some more headcanons I def plan to make into comics at some point haha, but if y'all want more lil posts like this, lemmie know! ^v^

[ssetchubai]

Lies of P fandom, I really want to hear your opinion!

I would be very grateful if you would describe your opinion in more detail: is this possible? Will he be happy? Will he be able to continue living without the burden of the past? Or is it better for him to stay dead?

I've read a lot of opinions on Reddit. Many people want to learn more about Romeo or become his ally (without tragic consequences). And I would like to hear your opinion.

Thank you very much if you take a little time for this post!

[mossfeathers]

may I please have and Etho and Bigb hanging out?

hi. yeah this was from january third. sorry about that. theres this cute thing called decision paralysis and also anxiety over not doing them justice so i froze and didn't know what to do. anyways if you wanna use this as a pfp or lockscreen or anything feel free just credit me somewhere somehow ok peace and love (closeups under cut)

[urgeeky-friend22]

Friend please dont be ashamed! You art is amazing and you still have a place on the fandom of Lies of P. You dont need to prove anything! You love Lies of P and that is enough!! Im giving you all huuuugs!

oh my g o o o o ddd, thank you for your kind words, pal!!! 🥺 (I guess it's kinda late to answer but my demons of uncontrollable breakdowns are still here, huh😃) I don't know why but I only feel the weight of responsibility for anything I did for this fandom, and it just...wasn't enough, like, at all...I did nothing, and my skill was meh... the only thing I could do is leave and drown in anything 'cause it was difficult for me to look at talented guys, lol (y'all are breathtaking!! fr fr) but thank you one more time, hug you in response, I don't deserve you guys!! 😭💔💔💔

[mochinon-yah]

Errrr uhhhhh..... glasses-

Glasses with aven is so freaking unreal because like what??????? HE LOOKS SO SOFT TOO AAHENWKAAKA (i don't want to make him look traumatized 🙏)

If you ask "oh, mochi, why is he wearing a suit?" Yeah, i deadass don't want to draw his actual clothes and also because i want to draw him in a black suit heheheheheh-

[togetherhearted]

What if P's nose grew as long as it does on the loading screen?

Eeehhh now it is kinda dangerous,don't you think?

[beneathsilverstars]

fursona headcanons!! :3

bonnie is a wolf no question. with heterochromia and emo bangs and angel/demon wings.

mirabelle picks something very specific. maybe a type of bunny? i think she'd like bunnies. let's go with french lop, they look round and soft, also haha french.

odile's a caracal. she had a big cat phase as a kid, and they were one of her favorites

isabeau makes up new sonas fairly often, though they're mostly various species of dogs. post-canon he's a border collie! smart, affectionate herding dog with a high contrast fur pattern.

siffrin asks the others for suggestions, and odile assigns him fennec fox (as she's mentioned in canon) and everyone else enthusiastically agrees. lil wild thing!

[askkrathotelsmaid]

Hi, Bea! Who is the messiest resident of the hotel? And who is the most helpful and considerate?

[chiefyakousdilftits]

do you think Vivia and Halara would be like "fuck PDA" (mostly Halara.) and then they both go cuddle warmly in private. snuggle bugs, but they both hate other people seeing them cuddle with eachother, they're like "fuuuuucck noooooo go awaaaaaaaaaay either you or we will die if you continue being in our presence as we spend our time giving physical affection to eachother".

^^ This is the only correct interpretation of TwiMare and PDA, we all just KNOW Halara doesn’t like public affection and Vivia’s just kinda cool with whatever. That couple that literally doesn’t change after getting together, nobody even knows they’re together until they go to their house and sees that they’re both living together. 💋✨🥂

[canisalbus]

For the better part of an hour I though that he was a Rat

A big loveable floppy ear Dog, and their tiny anxiety-filled Rat friend

.

[bittsandpieces]

I'd love to hear more about your fursona if you want to share.

IM STOLL CONCEPTUALIZING I very much started thinking about this like... an hour ago?? But I was reminded that you don't have to pick one animal and can in fact get as crazy with it as you want. So what I'm imagining now is effectively a wolpertinger (German folk creature. Bunny with antlers and wings. Similar to jackalope) but with fat tits

[echosong971]

I really love how you draw P!! He's a feral little thing and honestly, after all the crap he had to go through, its so bloody understandable! We all need a little ferality in ouru lives sometimes

HAHA THANK YOU! I think he deserves to go a little brazy sometimes, as a treat

I mean, if I got woken up from a nice nap to an apocalyptic hellscape and told I had to start killing people, I'd be pretty cranky too

Korea Game awards Game Director interview transcription <Lies of P>

Source (KR)

Hey so, I went through some Korea Game Awards stuff. It looks like there was a lot of content recorded for the event, but it doesn't really seem available online. I did find this interview with the director uploaded by a ruliweb user. It ended up being more of talk related to the industry and not all that related to LoP, but I figured I might as well share it since and I had gone through it anyway [and who knows, this could all be lost media one day!].

On LOP winning GOTY - South Korea

The Metacritic score was honestly higher than he expected

Talk about expanding the console games industry in Korea. Again, in South Korea - a leading world of PC Bangs and E-Sports, MMORPGs reign supreme! [Reading around the k-net supposedly LoP is notably one of the first major south korean developed single-player console title? I want to write about this more]

Influenced by other console, single player titles like Naughty Dog's Uncharted Series. [me: I love you, NG's The Last of Us.]

I'm pretty sure that based on his answers he will continue to spearhead the Lies of P IP

Send me an Inbox if you have a correction or see possible error/clarification needed!

[The "footage" doesn't seem available so it's a little hard for me because we can't hear the phrasing, so it's my best guess]

ENG

Hello, nice to meet you, I am Choi Ji-won, general director of Lies of P [Jiwon Choi]

What games have you participated in developing so far? Asker Online, and just recently I was in charge of Lost Ark. [note: MMORPG and he did combat direction]

What do you think are the virtues of a good developer?

Above all, I think it's being clear and unwavering in direction

To what extent have I achieved compared to my goal? I think I've achieved about 80% of it.

I think the remaining 20% area

I want to at least overcome that level of fun I had, and the remaining area is one where the goal is to explore new fun

To do that, you have to put in a lot of effort, enjoy the game a lot, and talk a lot with your fellow development colleagues to achieve the fun you want

I want to get into that zone This is really honest

What advice can you give to juniors who want to become developers? Above all, you must become a gamer 'Does that fun really move you?' And do you want to give this feeling to yourself by becoming a developer?' I would like to take this opportunity to tell you once again that it is more important than anything to make an effort just to have fun

Why did you become a game developer? I've been a console game fanatic since I was young So, while enjoying famous masterpieces in console games, I also want to create a game that can provide this kind of fun I think it would be The Uncharted Series at that time I think I was able to analyze why this was fun while playing So I decided to become that kind of developer

What do you think about the Metascore rating results? [note: I'm assuming they're talking about the metacritic score, which is a critic aggregate (Lies of P currently sits at an 80)]

I'll be really honest about this too I thought it was a better score than the score I received. [Note: This is what he says, but I think what he means is "It was a better score than the one what I was expecting"] When I saw the evaluations of the metascore I realized I was only thinking about a small aspect and thought, 'I was [too] focused on the completion of just this area' But now, 'I need to think about a broader field and focus on it again.' It was that kind of experience

What is your ultimate goal as a developer?

Rather than being a developer who receives positive reviews from users, I actually want to remain as a developer who has a positive influence on other fellow developers in the field I hope to become someone who can serve as an opportunity to further improve and develop the development culture and development capabilities of our country's game industry

How do you feel when you receive positive and negative feedback?

(If you think positively) Thank you But I think we should never be satisfied with that (When receiving negative feedback) More and more, there were instances of reflection from a gamer's perspective like ‘Okay. I should have been more in his shoes.’

Any last words you would like to say? I don't think this award is ever meant for me I think this is an award given to everyone on the team I will take this as a sign to work even harder in the future We will continue to do our best to become a developer that can provide only fun and emotion

안녕하세요 반갑습니다 <> 총괄 디렉터 최지원 입니다

Q: 그동안 개발에 참여하신 게임은 ?

<애스커 온라인>, 직전엔 <로스트아크> 프로젝트를 담당했습니다

Q: 좋은 개발자의 덕목은 무엇이라고 생각하시나요?

무엇보다 뚜렷하고, 흔들리지 않는

방향성을 제시하는 것이라고 생각합니다

Q: 내 목표정에 비해 어는 정도까지 달성했나요?

약 80% 정도는 달성했다고 생각을 해요

남은 20% 영역

본인이 느꼈던 그 재미 이상을 넘어서

새로운 재미를 추구할 수 있는 영역이라고 생각을 합니다

그러려면 정말 노력도 많이 해야 되고

게임도 많이 즐겨야 되고

같은 개발 동료분들과도

원하는 재미를 정말 많이 한 방향이 되도록

대화도 많이 해야 되거든요

저는 그 영역에 도달하고 싶습니다

이게 정말 솔직한 겁니다

Q: 개발자가 되고 싶은 후배들에게 해줄 수 있는 조언은?

무엇보다 게이머가 되어야 됩니다

그 재미를 통해서 본인에게 정말 감동이 되는가?'

그리고 이 감동을 본인도 개발자가 돼서 선사하고 싶은가?'

진짜 재미만을 위해서 노력하는 게

무엇보다 중요하다는 것,

다시 한번 이 자리를 빌려서 말씀드리고 싶습니다

Q: 게임 개발자가된 계기?

저는 어렸을 적부터 콘솔 게임 덕후였습니다

그래서 콘솔 게임에서 유명한 명작들을 즐기면서

나도 꼭 이런 재미를 줄 수 있는 게임을 만들고 싶다

그때는 <언차티드 시리즈>일 것 같아요

플레이하면서 이게 왜 재밌는지를 분석을 할 수 있었던 것 같아요

그래서 그러한 개발자가 되기로 결심을 하게 됐습니다

Q: 메세타스코어 평점결과 에 대해서 어떻게 생각하시나요?

이것도 정말 솔직하게 얘기할게요

받은 점수보다는 더 나은 점수라고 생각을 했었어요

그 메타스코어에 대한 평가 내용들을 봤을 때는

납득이 가더라고요

작은 영역에서만 생각을 했었고

'그 부분에 대한 완성도만 봤었구나...'

근데 이제는 '더욱더 넓은 분야까지도 생각을 하고,

또 정진해야겠���.' 그러한 계기가 됐었습니다

Q: 궁극적인 개발자로서의 목표가 있다면?

유저들에게 좋은 호평을 받는 개발자이기보다는

현업에 있는 다른 동료 개발자들에게

긍정적인 영향을 미치는 개발자로 사실 남고 싶어요

우리나라 게임업계에 대한 개발 문화나

개발력이 더욱더 개선되고 발전하는

그러한 계기가 될 수 있는 사람이 되었으면 좋겠습니다

Q: 긍정적 & 부정적 피드백을 받을때의 기분은?

(긍정적으로 생각해주시면) 감사하죠

하지만 그것으로 만족해서는 절대 안 된다고

생각을 하고 있습니다

(부정적 피드백을 받으면) 더욱더 게이머 입장에서

'아차, 제가 더욱... 더 그분의 입장이 되어야 했었구나'라고

반성을 하는 경우도 많았었습니다

Q: 마지막으로 하고싶으신 말은?

이 상은 결코 저에게 주는 상이 아니라고 생각을 해요

팀 모든 분들에게 주어지는 상이라고 생각을 하고

앞으로도 더욱더 열심히 하라는 뜻으로 받아들이겠습니다

오직 재미와 감동만을 선사할 수 있는

그런 개발자가 되도록

계속 최선을 다하도록 노력하겠습니다

If the world were in a better place we would've had an ask-kratsplayboy venigni ask blog by now and people would be sending anons asking him what he thinks of P and trying to get him to confess to being a virgin then a magic (m!) Anon that swaps his body with P for ten asks and there would be moments where polendina will talk to the viewer and share a secret. You know
