I was pretty happy with this guy's animation.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

That one came to me pretty quickly, but the phrase "God's Eye" was probably in my subconscious from memories of Methodist summer camp.

Music

Thanks! I'm definitely trying to call back on snes-style melody-forward sensibilities, partially because it fits with the narrative/aesthetic, but it's mostly because I just goddamn love that kind of thing.

Music

New Track: Butterscotch Train.

I also added links to the original posts since the soundcloud players aren't loading for me for some reason.

Piano: I doubt there's much interest, but I felt like bragging.

And here I am putting off restringing my brother's old nylon-string guitar. That piano looks gorgeous.

@Furipu:
I don't think they reference the God's Eye by that name, though. If they did, it's a flub on my part. What they did do is reference the event that destroyed the world with some fear and reverence, which I wanted seen as their own historical reimagining of what went down--sort of a historical game of telephone that starts with mutual warfare and ends with divine retribution.

To answer your first question, remember that Weiss was essentially their god and established the dominant religion for the new era, so I think that language transmission would come naturally with that. Probably not 100%, but, yeah.

@Malandy:

It's reasonable to expect that there are other Somnian nomads wandering around since Gram's old group left him. As for Lydians, that's about all you see.


Interesting question about the languages. Since the languages shared an origin, I guess they'd probably have their own slang, additional vocabulary, and dialects, but would it be crazy to think that they'd still be mutually intelligible? Or does language in this kind of situation naturally evolve to different languages altogether as opposed to different dialects? I'm afraid I've only taken one linguistics course, and this kind of thing wasn't covered, haha.

Luxaren Allure is COMPLETE! :DDDDDD

Hey, congrats, Unity! I remember when I played the demo for this; it's so cool to see that you've stuck with this and actually finished the damned thing! That's the kind of stick-to-itiveness I like to see.

@Erave: That castle is so rad, holy shit.
