Who are you?

Hi

I am going insane so here's a Life Series AU but it's Cult of the Lamb (no art just yet because I'm still finalizing some design shit)

For you trafficblr folks, here's the main gist of the game:

You play as a cute little lamb and start a cult.

That's it, that's all I'm giving you here because there will be MAJOR spoilers for the game throughout the post

First off, I had to decide who our Lamb is gonna be.

You might be saying "oh! So maybe one of the winners will be our player character!"

NO! I have different ideas for them

Our Lamb is Jimmy Solidarity

Why?

Because the Lamb is the last of their kind and this will be the only time Jimmy will die last (kidding, hoping for a future Jimmy win)

Now, for those in the CotL Fandom who also like this series and/or are just interested in what I'm saying (which i doubt lmao), you may be wondering who is playing the Bishops and the Mystic Seller?

Originally, I was gonna go sibling/God age = winner but that made for weird combinations

So I ended on the following:

Grian = Mystic Seller because he was the first winner, the MS has a sun motif and so does G's winner symbolism and he is the creator of the Life Series

Scott = Shamura because both have a sort of calm hopelessness to their characters. The head injury is also reminiscent of how Scott's thoughts/free will caused him to turn against the game so losing his mind could represent him losing his free will or whatever

Martyn = Kallamar because first off he lived in the sea in his season. Also, Kallamar's injury is to his ears and Martyn's Eyes and Ears lore fit SO well. Also, c!Martyn is the type to fully just say "hey kill my sibling instead"

Joel = Narinder because he gives the same middle child energy as Nari. Also, I think he'd play off of Jimmy as the Lamb in a hilarious way. Plus, betraying his family is, like, the opposite of what he was about in Wild Life

Pearl = Heket because both are unhinged ladies. That's straight up my reasoning. Also, Pearl as a boss would be INSANE in a similar way to my beloved Heket (it took me and my brother 5-ish tries to beat Heket in multiplayer soooo). Also, Pearl losing her voice would be such an interesting plot point to explore

Scar = Leshy because both are super chaotic and also the sunflower thing from Secret Life. Scar losing his sight would also be fun to see

Now, Cleo isn't included in the gods because, first off, there are no other gods and second, I have a special place for her

Cleo gets to be my favorite character Chemach. Both are unhinged and Cleo being someone who collects severed body parts makes sense lol

The rest have fallen into place afterwards

Tango is Ratau because Ranchers

Ren is Haro because of his theatrical way of interacting, so being the lore guy makes sense

Impulse is Clauneck and Skizz is Kudaai because they NEED to be a duo

Our other canaries are the twin guards that hang with Narinder. Lizzie is Baal, Mumbo is Aym

BigB is Helob because I thought it would be funny

Bdubs is Rakasha because both are small and Etho is Rakasha's snail wife because I think I'm funnier than I am

Lastly, our newest member of the series, Gem! I thought she'd fit the Goat, since she's a more violent (/j) version of Jimmy and is a later addition like the Goat was

Coming later on is some concept art of what they'd look like in game so look out for that lol

Also, there aren't enough Lifers to fill ALL of the character slots so I guess other Mcyters could fit in those but I'm sure not gonna do it

I really want to play COTL (and I know it has a multiplayer mode now) but it's like $25 dollars and that's a lot *bangs fist against wall*

ADHDHFCHJGDJCFJGCI the multiplayer mode is like. Local-only. So even if you bought it we can’t play together. But it is a very fun game (and like I said there are many cool [redacted]s in it) and maybe if you wishlist it and wait for a steam sale…

I don't actually know any cotl stuff because I've never had an interest in playing it but my roommate wants to play it with me once multiplayer comes out so maybe I'll finally be able to udnerstand all the posts about it in the proship tag :P

slams hands on table

Me and my sibling have been thinking about a game concept for ages now and I love it

It's called Planet Home

basically, you play as an alien shadow-bug race called a Shillo, who as part of their coming into themselves stuff they go out into the world and decide what they want to do with their life (This also helps decide their names. There's a whole naming ceremony thing in their culture I love it)

The game specifically is more or less a farming sim, but you get an entire small planet to work with. It's a little bit like a mix of minecraft, stardew maybe, and slime rancher for vibes, with a little bit of sky cotl (In the community vibes and the ability to link your tails with someone and pull them around while still maintaining usage of your hands for tools)

It'd be multiplayer, and the groups of planets would be servers, and we have a bunch of different "specialties" for people to see if they like doing to try and encourage player trading and bartering

most of the specialty things would have their own processes and minigames I think

Each planet might have different vibes to it too, so some resources that spawn easily on one planet might need to be journeyed to or traded for to get on others

Being able to build and decorate your place is a big thing too

So far it's just a lot of speculation and conceptualizing from us, and it's a pretty ambitious project, but maybe someday it'll happen. For now though we brainstorm a lot of culture and ecosystem and game mechanics

Also you can put chickens on your head. very important chicken stacking mechanics.

ALRIGHT

I want to talk about my podcast, but my brain's being a bit rude today.

So we're going to a project share, to anyone who sees this feel free to participate.

This share can be about ANY projects, fanfic, fanart, or original that you want to just yap yap yap about.

Here's how it works: You reblog the post and talk about your project you're working on/thinking about/want to do/etc...

Then, you go up the reblog chain and find a project you're interested, and SEND ASKS to the person who made the info about the project!

I'll start: I'm writing a podcast, and it's about Glacie, and their coworkers, who work at the Meeting Point. The Meeting Point is a restaurant/shop located near the Mad Forest. Coming back from a pretty long break, due to their own unreality problems popping up, Glacie is warned that the forest grows hungry. After some incidents, Glacie's hallucinations start getting real bad, and they eventually venture forth into the Mad Forest.
