👽 LOVER HERE, GOT SOME MORE QUESTIONS 🤩 but definitely not the last of them 😆
we know Ornthonians are planet conquerors. 👀 what are their roles in battle?
Egen did mention he bled for his people, so that got me thinking-battle scars! how physically scarred are the three? maybe a story behind some particularly gnarly looking ones? do they still hurt, maybe on occasion, or does that particular scar only look like it hurts? 👀 (i HC Nabo has one on his thigh, if anyone must know and hasn’t seen ✨That One Fanart✨ i drew! the enemy was trying to snipe Andy and missed horribly LMAO)
👽WELCOME, WELCOME, AS ALWAYS!!
Egen's role is functionally high command. Unless there is potential for the encountered forces to be particularly formidable, he typically does not lead the charge. The bulk of his time is spent guiding the fleet as a whole and doing performance management. Acting as a type of omnipresent finer-detail, weakness pinpointing, eye above the battlefield to guide and advise his people as necessary.
Training within Egen's fleet is quite rigorous, and he has an uncanny ability to determine a person's best assets, skills, and desires, and then place them appropriately. Since performance reviews guarantee a one-on-one meeting with him, many ornthonians joined his faction to have a direct line to him. That shared, the flip side of this is that Egen is quite attached to his people. Nobody in his fleet is expendable. He takes part in extractions so that he can bring each and every one of them home in the best condition possible (circumstances given)---regardless of the risk to himself.
Nabo is a proper general. He prefers to be on the ground at every opportunity. The broader strokes of tactics battle to battle are his responsibility. Additionally, both congratulatory, disciplinary, and similar corrective actions are also his wheelhouse. Because of this he is the most unpopular of their trio amongst fleet members. Once Egen's the official ruler of Ornthon Nabo will be in charge of the general welfare of Ornthonians (think any firm decisions that alter or determine the quality of life for the populace). Since he shows virtually no visible enthusiasm for the mundane, many speculate in private that his real position is something else.
Andelle does his absolute best to never visit the battlefield. He gathers all the information and predominantly manages logistics. Everything to do with funding, distribution, integration, upkeep, maintaining their armory and adding new tech to it, etc. are his responsibilities. He gathers all the intimate detail of the planets before approach along with knowledge about enemy supply lines, allies, culture, geography, etc. While espionage is part of his duties, he is not the spymaster of Egen's fleet. It is one of the other two, but to this day, he's uncertain whether it's Nabo or Egen.
As for scars, Andelle has exactly one, Nabo has several, and Egen has the most.
As for stories on them, hmm. Egen's most gnarly one is probably the most noteworthy. I'll place it under a read more in case someone doesn't want spoilers.
Okay. It's spoiling time!
Egen's spine is made entirely of nanites (Referred to as Gwyncellic Nanites in-universe).
There was a particularly rough battle where the only sane choice was to leave Nabo behind to his eventual demise. However, despite the harrowing odds, Egen proceeded to rescue him. He was able to retrieve Nabo, but shattered his spine defending Nabo on the return trip. So while they made it back, Nabo was inconsolable over the matter. So, although he "Gave up tinkering" as he calls it because of various personal reasons, he feverishly developed the tech to assist Egen. Egen doesn't show up shirtless in Love Limit, but if you ever see his back, he has scars from the original wound and the surgery following. If you press your fingers firmly against his spine you'll feel constant subtle movement from the nanites performing actions his spine otherwise would have.
Egen's already adjusted to it and was just thankful Nabo made it back. Meanwhile, it's still an extremely sensitive topic for Nabo. He responds so poorly to it that nobody outside of the fleet is aware of the incident, and nobody within the fleet dares to mention it. It's one of the few things that makes him emotive.
Hello, I hope you are having a great day! I wanted to ask, since I haven’t seen any info about it, would you be okay with people making patches to translate Love Limit into their language? I would be happy to translate it to spanish, if you were comfortable with it.
🎉Good afternoon everyone, and a happy 2 years to Love Limit🎉
To mark this wonderful moment our team has released a free, fully voiced audio drama on YouTube!
Thanks to your love and support we could provide more amazing work this year as well! Please look forward to more!🐦⬛
Our next present this anniversary are these adorable emotes! They're for you! Yes, you🫵! They are completely free to download over on the Winking Corvid Ko-Fi page, so have fun! It's another gift from us to you.
Thank you for playing Love Limit, and taking time to send love back to us over here at the birdhouse!
Are you staying hydrated in this heat? If yes, I’m glad to hear it! If not, you should absolutely get something to drink asap. We’ve been cooking over here at the birdhouse (figuratively and literally in this heat) and the time for studio updates has come around again. Let’s get to it!
The month of April really sped by to be honest. The bulk of my energy that month went into preparation for participating in various festivals like the Otome Games Celebration Steam festival. Quack and I connected with a lot of streamers to coordinate streams of Love Limit during these festivals. I made quite a few graphics, commissioned the festival art piece, and drafted the announcement posts.
In addition to that, I was finalizing invoices, graphics, and other essential tasks for the 2nd anniversary of Love Limit. Since I had drafted everything back in Feburary, it was time to lock in and turn those drafts/WIPs into actual shareable posts/images etc.
I did most of my writing for Love Limitless during my downtime or while commuting.
There was so much to do and write for the anniversary that, even into May, I was working on things. Near the end of May was especially packed, as that’s when I finished writing the script for the new audio drama, sent out casting emails to the voice actors, and line recording began. While all of that was going on, I heard back about more game festivals, the anniversary cookies arrived and the photoshoot for them had to take place. Phew.
At the same time, I was juggling Love Limitless tasks. I sent out various inquiries for animation and original music for Love Limitless. Since the total cost for that work is about $2000, I’ll have to steadily set production funds aside. It’s not an expense I can currently afford, so I appreciate everyone’s patience. Quack and I are just two people, so we have to plan and budget accordingly for these types of things.
Since the game is much larger than Love Limit was, I need to have the Steam Page up as soon as possible so that it can begin collecting wishlists. However, it needs to be in a final enough state that I can take screenshots and record gameplay for the trailer for me to finalize a coming soon page Steam. I also began scheduling behind the scenes posts as part of the countdown for the demo release. At my current pace, I estimate everything will be ready by late Q4 for preliminary testing, however that date is completely tentative. I just need a date, any date, so that I have a deadline to sprint full speed towards . It’s easier for me to manage my time when I have one.
If this month sounds a little overwhelming, you’re right! I spent an inordinate amount of time around Quack, so I could keep up my energy and keep fatigue/stress at bay. Everything’s managable in small chunks when you’re co-working next to your bestie. I really tried to adopt the mindset that any consistent effort is always worthwhile. Though whenever it felt like a bit much. I pecked away at the jam project I mentioned back in March. I did some moodboarding, concept art, and began outlining the story.
Now here we are in June! It’s already a huge contrast to May. I’m finally replacing placeholder assets in Love Limitless’s protype build. The new audio drama for the 2nd anniversary is scheduled to release on July 1st. Each of the voice actors had a blast while recording. And me? I’ve been having the time of my life celebrating the anniversary and just being a creative in general. Meeting other creative people who are still giving their all nowadays is such an unmatched experience. It feels like a series of little victories of love for creative works. Some of my peers implied it may be a little bit dorky to celebrate every year, but what’s wrong with that? I am a nerd! Like, have you seen Love Limit? Besides, I’m having fun. It’s fun to have fun! To dilly-dally and have a lil whimsy. I feel inspired! Every interaction is a bright moment that makes my day better, and I hope Love Limit continues to bring you joy now, then, and for years to come.
i have been well, yes! ☺️ just lurking due to writers/art block 👀 i have two questions again 😆 just how many languages does the three know, roughly? gotta love multilingual attractive 👽👽👽 🤩
and on that topic, second question. is Ornthonian language similar to ours? or could it be mostly vibrations, what we see/hear from them being rough translations closer to our language? 👀 i have it rent free in my head certain nuance purrs mean certain things 🥰
~with love, ur local 👽 lover
I'm glad to hear you've been well! Booo to writers/art block. I hope inspiration returns! Until then, eat well, rest well, and most importantly play well!
The language thing is actually brought up during the prologue of Love Limitless!
I've always imagined the sounds of their primary language as being outside of the general human hearing spectrum. That it's more one we'd be able to feel through various vibratic patterns, rhythms, and intensities although we can't "Hear" it so to speak.
Since you can get a language lesson from Egen, I'll refrain from going anymore in-depth answering this, and instead, share the above snips and the ones below!
Love Limit is a spirited romantic comedy visual novel that answers the age old question, “What if your blind date invaded Earth?” Laugh your way through 3 wacky dates in this ending collector otome game inspired by classic Saturday morning cartoons. You can save the world, and perhaps even fall in love.
Oh yeah, one of my favorite trope is that aliens are taking over the Earth, but a random citizen is given the right to fight the main alien in some kind of game, MC wins and this alien falls in love with the winner and wants to get married with them right away~
