The Evolution of Jeanne Augustine

Following on from Project Seven: Character Concept 4 we've now developed the character concept for Jeanne further and have finalised the design. Across the next couple of posts we're going to show the evolution she has gone through since this original post and then conclude with a proper introduction like how we did with 2018-08-15 19:23:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Changes to Patreon Backer Tiers

For our current project ProM we will be looking to update the Patreon tiers for the September cycle. After the changes have been made we will make a follow up post to confirm they're now in effect so that you will then have the opportunity to review and change your pledge if required.

At this time the update we're planning to make that will replace the existing tiers are as follows, let us know your thoughts:

Fei Meilin's Pilot Suit

With ProM being a return to the mecha genre for us we're sure that you have been anticipating the return of pilot plugsuit. Well then, you can now chalk this up as being correct.

Fei being the first character design completed is now also the first to show off her pilot variation.

The Adversary

SUPER HIGH DENSITY PHAGEFORM CODE NAME "ADVERSARY" TOP SECRET. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.  

A Phage unit unlike any other, and humankind's greatest adversary. While greatly resembling an armored suit, it is a hyper-dense colony of Phage cells, far outstripping the tactical specifications of anything in our arsenal.  Its vast re-generative ability makes it impervious to most weapons and its incredible speed and maneuverability makes it capable of outrunning anything in our fleet. It's offens...

Introducing Fei Meilin

The mysterious head of research and development. She is humanity's foremost expert on [CLASSIFIED] and has developed the only effective means of combating them.  She has a cold and distant personality and avoids making friends. Some would say that she is anti-social and views others as being less intelligent than her, but in reality, she has her own reasons for avoiding others.  She has a cool head and doesn't get worked up about much, except for collecting samples for her research. In...

The Evolution of Fei Meilin 2

This concept focuses on skin tone and allows us to make comparisons on the sprite design we're currently settled on. It would be a bit unfair to make one Fei strike that pose and then swap her palette backwards and forth until we make a decision otherwise.

In these following posts we're going to show the evolution she has gone through since this original concept and then conclude with a proper introduction to the revealed first com...

Project Seven (ProM) & Other General Updates

With development of Shining Song Starnova (project six) now completely finished and the distribution now all wrapped up with the exception of Steam (still no updates) and the other matter of the fulfillment of Kickstarter rewards (which we're waiting either for their arrival or their completion), we can now start looking towards the future. 

As a side note, for those of you in the $25+ tier we've now updated the 2018-08-05 12:10:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Project Seven: Character(?) Concept 7

It isn't just human concepts that are currently getting discussed in our brainstorms, there are also mechanical constructs involved...

ProM is going to have mechs? But it doesn't quite look like a ryder, something new but familiar? Just what could LiS be cooking up this time?

Project Seven: Character Concept 6.5

In addition to the sketches it also becomes necessary to give the designs basic colouring so that we can also look at the impact of different palettes.

As you can see for the character of Shura there is already a wide range of potential design choices already floating around.

Shining Song Starnova 'Steam Patreon Release' Updates

This is somewhat late set of updates due to the fact that I (Nemjen) have been on holiday for the last couple of days and this was information I found out at a motorway service station, so apologies from myself that it has has taken a while to trickle down.

Sadly no additional progress has been made with Valve at this time for getting the game on Steam however hopefully this serves as confirmation that your Steam versions are still current, as well as letting those of you waiting for Linux/Mac...

LUNA-I Chibi

It won't be just COSMIC-I who will helping us with delivering our future communications, LUNA-I will be there too once she is able to catch up with her sister.

COSMIC-I Chibi

One of the reasons for our new mascots is so that we can explore ways to have them incorporated into our communications, for this reason we are also working on chibi designs for them.

The Veteran Sibling: LUNA-I

LUNA-I (luna-ai)

Cosmic-I is joined by her twin sister, Luna-I! Her body isn't as strong as her sister, so she needs to be careful to avoid strenuous activity. However, she is very good at filling out the paperwork that Cosmic-I's misadventures cause, so she is indispensable. She broke one of her hover wings and has been struggling save money to buy a new pair on top of paying tuition for space ranger school. She has anxiety and worries about the future. One day, her brains will make he...

Introducing LUNA-I

Love in Space's second official mascot character and sister to COSMIC-I!

A more complete profile as well as the shaded and polished final form of LUNA-I coming soon.

The Space Ranger In-Training: COSMIC-I

COSMIC-I (cosmic-ai)  

"Cosmic-I reporting for duty, sir!" Introducing Love in Space's new official mascot character! She's a space ranger in training, who one day dreams of defending the galaxy against evil. She has a cheery and energetic disposition. So far, she's been patrolling space malls in search of troublemakers and picking up litter in domed parks, but she's destined to become a great space ranger, just you wait. If you're in trouble, call Cosmic-I for help!    2018-07-13 19:52:41 +0000 UTC View Post

And There's More?

So initially we said there were two changes and that one would be a new face but it seems that COSMIC-I's action pose blocked out another presence that was there.

Two mascot characters? What is going on here?

Introducing COSMIC-I

Love in Space's new official mascot character!

We'll be sharing a more complete profile for her later today once we have all the shading and polishing finalised.

A New Face at LiS

The second part of our re-branding comes in the form of a mysterious new figure making herself known...

More to revealed soon!

Re-Branding Efforts

Hello everyone long time no see, apologies for the lack of content recently. 

With the development of Shining Song Starnova now over and our team members having some well deserved time off as well as encountering a few issues around the public release on Steam we haven't had too much to share in terms of new updates.

As it will be a bit longer until we'll start talking about the futu...

Reward Update 2: Equal or greater than $30 Lifetime Contribution Steam Key

We said May 2018 and we're now pushing on!

The distribution list for this reward has now been pulled and we will be looking to begin the distribution itself very soon (following a few pending confirmations that we're waiting on).
