Which characters do you add to Limbus Island? I add characters who have featured in Limbus Company. The core cast is the 12 sinners (I "play" Dante) and the broader Limbus Company gang (LCB, LCC, LCD, LCE) are permanent fixtures. I don't add every NPC, regardless of the significance of their role in the story. This is because there is a limit of 70 Miis on the island, including children of couples. Who I decide to add or not add is purely my own preference, some characters I find too difficult to create a likeness for (IE: Rim) and others I just don't feel like having to see on my island every day.
This also means that eventually some beloved (or less beloved) NPCs will be purged to make room for new characters as Intervallos and Cantos inevitably introduce us to them. As a compromise, I frequently add references to characters from other Project Moon games/stories as Island Lingo. Most often it will be Color Fixers, though it can be other things.
Who are the children on Limbus Island named after? The only other characters who end up on the island are kids of couples. The first kids will always be named after the characters' canonical child (or children) if applicable (for example, I don't know if Outis has a son in the story yet, so her first son will not be named Telemachus).
Kids are then named after people I know, by request, and their names are only posted if permission has been received. I have a short list but will not be opening a public recruitment because I'd rather go on a person by person basis. Hope you understand!
What is the update schedule? The schedule is currently daily with no set time. I play the game on and off throughout the day and then post several batches of screenshots and videos when I think there's been enough/when I am at my computer. This schedule will likely shift to once or twice a week as time goes on. Not only will your guys' interest in Tomodachi Life inevitably cool off, but I will also play it less often too. I do not intend to ever abandon the island, and with new seasonal items and updates sure to arrive, we will have more Limbus Island for a long time to come! That said, the events can get repetitive (there's only so many times posting the same "making friends" scene has its charms) so the frequency of noteworthy things may decline enough to make weekly updates more practical. As an aside, I mentioned some time ago that some family things were happening- this is still a factor, though I find this blog is a nice distraction since I do not have the mental bandwidth to write another fanfic (which was what I was hoping to be doing again by now). In all likelihood there will be missed days even before I initially switch schedules, we are anticipating a loss in the family and I have become a pseudo-caregiver for my parent who is experiencing cognitive decline. That's all I'll share as this isn't the forum for such things but yeah. Just as a heads-up!
Why won't you draw their hair or extra unique features? I just genuinely am not very good at drawing. If I started drawing one character's unique hairstyle, it would look odd next to everyone with their "normal" hair, and it would create a domino where I have to draw everyone's hair, everyone's tattoos, everyone's x y and z. Maybe not as a result of any pressure from anyone who reads this blog, but because it would bother me that they didn't all have a cohesive "look" about them. :sob: So in brief, it's just my own shortcomings.
How do you draw things like Hong Lu's heterochromia? Here's a post I made that went over the basics as well as some cons to using my "method". My Custom Eyes/Features "Guide"
