A Nor Update

Hi. It's been a little while.

If you are wondering where I have been, here's a little update for you. I have a very intense job during spring/summer/autumn that takes a lot of energy out of me, so writing has been slow. But! More importantly, I have joined Projet LUMEN.

If you are a Life Series fan and you don't know what that project is about, you should definitely check the blog out, but in a nutshell, it's a video game retelling of Third Life. It takes a lot of my spare time (and is going to be amazing. We just finished the first revision of the script and it's uergiezh).

Does that mean I have stopped working on the Canary of the Black Mines? No. In fact, I will do my best to post a new chapter before the end of Febuary. I just don't know if I should focus on the next part of Jimmy's journey or if now is the time for a Tango interlude. But, work is happening. I promise.

I wish you a happy New Year 2026. May this year be full of stories and Decked Out.

- Nor.

My art for my Project Lumen UI designer application! Featuring:

-A bunch of buttons (Grian would be so proud); a specialized button for each of the Winners to access Reputation across the server (no clue if a feature like that is possible or planned but thought it would be fun :D); dialogue boxes for being on Green, Yellow, and Red life; the Main Menu button; and Inventory button.

-Loading screen animations! The ones here are for Third Life and Last Life.

@project-lumen I present humbly (plz don't Martyn me)

"WATCHER CHILD--" I scream as they take me back to the writer zone.

rambles under the cut

Working with @project-lumen has been a blast. Everybody is so nice, so creative. Just a joy to be around, really.

I've been working on the script (because video games do need a script, i know. I didnt know either!) and i've just been having so much fun???

Now, i cannot share details otherwise Kori will bite my head off, but the project is coming along really nicely. It's still in the early stages, like. like really early stages. but i can see where it's going and it's gonna be amazing.

All the Artists (especially background artists!!!) i've talked to have been sickingly sweet (seriously! stop being so sweet!) and passionate (how are they as obsessed with Scott Smajor as I am?!)

I do quickly wanna have a word on Background artist, because... I think they're probably one of the most passionate people in this project. Especially Pie, who is just amazing. They keep sharing ideas and all of those are just wonderful.

Kori especially has been a really good help, being the "boss". they're a good point of reference, each time i have a question, they take the time to explain it to me. They're always so excited to hear my ideas.

I love being part of this project. I really, really do. I couldn't be more grateful, really.

NEW APPLICATIONS FOR LUMEN ARE NOW OPEN

Hi everyone! We are officially recruiting again. This time around, we are only looking for Character artists. We have two spots open at the moment – for Impulse and Skizz. If you are interested, please check out this form. There should be more info and the specifics in there. 

To make communication easier, we are only looking for artists who have Discord (or can create an account). We’re sorry if that restricts some people, but the project is huge and it’s easier for us to have everyone in one place. 

Applications will be open until January 31st.

Please share this post around so more people can be aware about it :D

Are you a Life Series fan and you don’t know what Project LUMEN is?  See under the cut to learn more. 

Project LUMEN is a fan indie game currently in the developmental stage. Its goal is to bring the Life Series to life in a different medium, for fans to experience it in a brand new way. Our game will be a RPG of sorts with a world to explore, battle mechanics, interaction with NPCs, different choices to make and our own unique spin on Watcher Lore. It will have changing art styles and multiple endings.

If you'd like to learn more, give our blog a look, and if you’re still curious or have a question, feel free to reach out via our ask box :D
