MORTIS-XIII

Hello everyone, been a while since we had a proper progress update, am I right? But in all seriousness, the game is still being worked on! I merely took a bit of a break, both because I had to work on my grades and because I had a whole month of vacation, which I spent with family. However, now I’m back to work on the project, even if now I will be going a little slower since I’m going to focus more on college, of course.

PROGRESS:

Writing: I have finally finished looking over the prologue script, and despite the DEMO I plan to release will only have the prologue, I began working on the chapter 1 script on the side. Sprites: I’ve begun working on the sprites. I have completed Verônica’s, Seo-Jun’s, Paislee’s, Owen’s, Naomi’s, Lorelai’s, Hanako’s, Gallagher’s, and Alisson’s sprites. Music: I already have some of the soundtrack ready, but it’s not the full thing! I finally found a musician to help (for the third time, but I’m sure this time it will work!) Other Assets: Bane has been doing a terrific job at working on some of the important cgs for the game, and I myself am working on assets like other cgs, backgrounds, and parts of the UI. (Sadly, the UI part is not looking promising that shit looks ass ☆(＃××)).

Now playing : #BrooklynBloodPop!─────●─────────────── ⇆ ❚❚ ▷ ↻

In other news: — If things go well, I might have all the sprites finished by the end of October (including the side characters!), though I can’t make any promises as I do not want to rush the process. — I also still need to make the designs for the 2 side characters, though I doubt I’ll need a character sheet for them, as their role in the demo is so small they won’t appear ever again. — As for other game assets (music, art, etc). My goal is to get all of those done by the end of the year in order to begin work on the programming side of things. (But once again, I do warn this might change depending on time constraints.) — Also, don't forget to join our Discord server!

"Cyber Liv3s isn't a game about strength or intelligence; it's a game that favors the charismatic and quick thinker. Sadly, that's why I'm good at it."

Verônica Artemis

Age: 39. Gender: Female, She/her. Birthday: March 7th. Nationality: Romanian. Occupation: Production Manager at CL3. About: Veronica is a smart and calculating woman. Unlike the other participants, she was never eager to join the show. Despite her reluctance, she managed to win both Season 23 and Season 24 of Cyber Liv3s. Although she is now famous, she does not enjoy being in the spotlight. She originally joined as a last-minute substitute after another participant was injured. A rule in the show states that "winners of the previous season must compete in the next," so she was contractually required to return. Her third season will be her final one, and it is the only thing she has been looking forward to.

EXTRAS: - Takes pride in her work as part of the production team in CL3, she's even considered "Fallacy's favorite employee". - Titled: "The goddess of Cyber Liv3s"! - Catch Phrase: "Stop calling me the Goddess of Cyber Liv3s."

"Excuse me?! I’m a man of fame! Loved by billions of people, what makes you think you can talk over me?"

Seo-Jun

Age: 27. Gender: Male he/him. Birthday: Aug 24th. Nationality: South Korean. Occupation: Influencer. About: Seo-Jun is a social media influencer known for his wide variety of vlog content. He expects everyone to idolize him. He shows a bitter attitude toward those who refuse to give him the attention he wants. Got into a nasty scandal lately, but that's a thing of the past, he's here for the 25th season of Cyber Liv3s, and he's totally going to donate the cash prize to charity, so after he's done here, you should totes check him out at @--

EXTRAS: - Has over 3 billion followers on every social media platform, including the platforms only accessible in censorship-plagued countries. - Scent: Cherry, obvi. - Catch Phrase: "Annyeong my sun shines!~"

Raycliff Stones

Age: 24. Gender: Male, He/him. Birthday: Nov 27th. Nationality: British. Occupation: Delivery man. About: Raycliff is a hot-headed and stubborn man who dislikes following rules and often prefers to solve problems through physical means. He is never afraid of confrontation, though he follows a personal moral code that stops him from fighting those weaker than himself. He's here for the money, of course, because Raycliff is totally about the money; he will SURELY cheat to win! And he is DEFINITELY not scared shitless about being stuck in a death game.

EXTRAS: - Has a heart bigger than he gives himself credit for, but I'm pretty sure that's a birth defect. - Fears: Vaccine needles. - Catch Phrase: "I don't need a catch phrase, that's fucking stupid."

Paislee Davina

Age: 25. Gender: Female, She/her Birthday: Aug 13th Nationality: Chinese Occupation: Pediatrician About: Paislee is a kind and warm-hearted woman. She has a childlike spirit, which makes her especially beloved by the children at her local hospital. And despite her shy nature, and the fact she looks like she is constantly on the verge of a panic attack, Paislee is one of the most capable pediatricians in her generation, being able to do the most risky of surgeries and diagnose even the most undetectable of disease. And she still finds time on her schedule to go home and have a binge of the lastest cartoon she's obsessed with, like Star Knight!

EXTRAS: - Might just go insane, since she's the only medical professional here. - Sanity status: Omg, this is concerning. - Catch Phrase: "How the fluff did you get Stage 17 Bone cancer? That doesn't even exist…"

"I like... bicycles. I love... daisies. I like... the sounds of bells. That's all! Bye. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ"

It's the best game participant to grace the 25th season of this game. Owen is… fun, because he loves to tell jokes ｀;:゛;｀;･(°ε° ). Owen is… deep, because it has a very complex backstory (ಡ‸ಡ).

Naomi Lin Diaz

Age: 21. Gender: Female, She/they. Birthday: Nov 19th. Nationality: Argentinean. Occupation: V-tuber. About: Naomi is an antisocial and deeply withdrawn woman. She spends most of her time isolated in her room, avoiding interaction with others and struggling to maintain conversations. Streaming as a V-tuber is how she can afford to live a glimpse of her dream lifestyle: to become an internet celebrity and never have to leave her room. And a sweet thousand-dollar cash prize from this game show might be her golden ticket to further invest in her lifestyle of choice.

EXTRAS: - She’s fucking 4-channer girl incarnated into a stinky bitch. - Speaks: English, Spanish, and Alien fluently! - Catch Phrase: "Chat, this is insane! Your glorp alien queen is scared!"

"Please, I'm not here to play a game, I'm here to win. No matter what."

Megumi Otoshi

Age: 16. Gender: Trans male, He/him. Birthday: Sep 12th. Nationality: Japanese. Occupation: Student. About: Hanako's twin brother, who has lived in the same orphanage since he was a baby. He has an abrasive and dismissive attitude toward anyone who tries to engage with him, often behaving as if he knows everything. As a result, he’s not easily fooled by the pleb of lower IQ. Has studied the Cyber Liv3s, including all seasons, all challenges, and all participants, as well as what the winners did right. Because he's not here to play, he's here to win.

EXTRAS: - Has a set of extra robotic arms, because he knows that a participant perk that ensures he can multitask raises his winning chances on challenges to 19,4568%. - Hours spent binge watching Cyber Liv3s: +99999999999999999 hours. - Catch Phrase: "Name's Megumi, Megumi Otoshi. See everyone? This is how you make a catch phrase."

"BOO! Nyeheheheh, gotcha!"

Lorelai Cyanide

Age: 27. Gender: Demi-girl, They/she. Birthday: Oct 31st. Nationality: German. Occupation: Youtuber. About: Lorelai is an extroverted woman who presents herself as innocent, but it doesn't take less than 5 seconds to see she's much more than that; she harbors a dark fascination with pain. She takes pleasure in witnessing the suffering of others, though she draws a clear line at death—craving pain, not loss. Drawn to Cyber Liv3s, she joins the TV show seeking a way to experience and observe pain without enduring harm herself.

EXTRAS: - Makes money with a variety of vlog videos from: GRWM, to reaction videos, arts and crafts videos, etc. - Number of eyes: 6… maybe 8? - Catch Phrase: "I'm keepin' my many eyes on you, pal! Nyeheheheheh…"

Kaleb Edwards Jr.

Age: 25. Gender: Male, He/him. Birthday: July 2nd. Nationality: Spanish. Occupation: Mascot Performer. About: Here to represent the Deers of Armadam, in a very complicated sponsorship deal for CyberLiv3s, as their beloved mascot Tessa the Deer! Though he doesn't pretend to be Tessa, Kaleb is Kaleb, a man who just happens to be wearing a fursuit. Kaleb is nice, if maybe a bit awkward and blunt. He also likes to keep his identity private; aside from his name and his personality, he doesn't want to show his face ever. Some even speculate if the reason goes beyond just a safety precaution.

EXTRAS: - People usually call him Eddie because his father was named Kaleb, too (talk about having an ego). - Largest performance time: 1 hour and 10 minutes. - Catch Phrase: "Not a furry."

"Huh...? Is it finally time for my introduction? Alright, here it comes."

John Doe

Age: 27. Gender: Nonbinary, they/them. Birthday: April 1st. Nationality: Scottish. Occupation: Carpenter. About: John is… well they are very average at first glance. But seeing the game they find themselves in they prove to be quite the polarizing character in the group: Either they are your greatest ally or your greatest enemy. Even though, truly, John is harmless. Just an honest person, who wants to make sure everyone is transparent with eachother, is that so wrong? Specially considering they find themselves in a game where lying is how you make things get worse.

EXTRAS: - Amazing at detecting lies, though if they catch you, they'll prefer to confront you privately about it. - Always seems to know what to say. - Catch phrase: "Hi! :)"

"Hanako's name is Otoshi Hanako! Hanako is so happy to finally meet you! Hanako can't wait to make friends."

Hanako Otoshi

Age: 16. Gender: Female, She/her. Birthday: Sep 12th. Nationality: Japanese. Occupation: Student. About: Hanako is a kind, extroverted girl raised in luxury under strict expectations. Orphaned at a young age alongside her twin brother Megumi, she was adopted by a wealthy family. Talented and driven, Hanako has plenty of leadership experience from sports and extracurricular activities. Which she plans to put them on display to (reluctantly) help her brother win the game show.

EXTRAS: - Girl scout leader, part of the fashion club, straight A student, and 1# best sister in the world. - Favorite Fashion Subculture: Gyaru, duh doy! - Catch Phrase: "Hanako is sorry for Megumi's stupidity! Hanako promises Megumi is actually a real sweetheart!"

"My name and my titles are like an old saying, it should be repeated and kept on the minds of the newer generations."

Gallagher the Brave

Age: 24. Gender: Male, He/him. Birthday: Feb 29th. Nationality: Italian. Occupation: SUPER HERO!!! About: Gallagher, the radiant beacon of hope everyone knows and loves from the hit series Star Knight! Just like his TV show counterpart, Gallagher is determined, astute, and always stays positive. He claims to be the real deal from the show, not a cosplayer, not a troll, not a larper, just pure power and heroism in the flesh and blood. Mysteriously enough, he conveniently never shows his superpowers… … Honestly, it's best not to question him too much.

EXTRAS: - Has a social media account where he posts daily positive affirmations, shouts out to charities, and even records public acts of kindness. - Always uses his full title catch phrase when introducing himself. - Catch phrase: "My name is Gallagher the brave, warrior of the asteroids, defender of the values of the warriors of virtue, the one honored to wear the blue suit! I, Gallagher the Brave,…"

"Let's go, time to test out these girls! Weee!"

Boris Igor

Age: 65. Gender: Male, He/him. Birthday: Jan 13th. Nationality: Russian American. Occupation: Retired Colonel. About: Boris is a compassionate and optimistic old man who enjoys helping others, mainly through his wisdom. He is a dancer and performer, known for doing stunts in roller-blading rinks and local clubs. Despite his age and his vintage interest, he tries his best to keep up with new trends, hoping to connect with the younger generation—especially his grandson, who isn’t a fan of his career or old-fashioned style. In fact, Boris joined the CyberLives TV show to impress his grandson and, perhaps, give the young champ some bragging rights.

EXTRAS: - His shoes have retractable wheels so he can skate around whenever he feels like it. - Greatest weakness: Wet and uneven surfaces. - Catch phrase: "Rewind the track real quick, cuz I better have misheard that."

"I'm not here for the money, mister. I'm here for something much bigger."

Alisson H. Cozbi

Age: 25. Gender: Trans female, she/her. Birthday: July 1st. Nationality: American with Japanese descent. Occupation: Teacher/YouTuber. About: The leading lady of this game, a kind and energetic kindergarten teacher who was tragically tossed into this chaotic mess of a death game. However, Alisson has already faced numerous hardships; she is not going to let this new challenge bring her or any of the other participants down. Hell, she might even turn this entire experience into a teaching opportunity! But what lies beneath the surface? Sure, Alisson is nice and cheery, yet handling the emotions of a few kindergarten classrooms is different from handling 12 humans with complex emotions, right?

EXTRAS: - Loves sharing historic trivia, especially about ancient Egypt. - Favorite animal: Rabbits. - Catch phrase: "Great job, you deserve a little star sticker!"
