oh thats the project moon iceberg video thats the project moon iceberg video that I struggled to complete for upwards of 4 months picrew.me/en/image_maker/1014150 this is the thing I used to make my profile picture
The exact day I made this, @DinoDave935 uploaded an Iceberg Video covering one of their own making. So go check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLZiFGFIJTQ.htmlsi=NjXzwiPkxA1aENAu
Really good video, well scripted and interesting to see someone explain Prince Noel's side of the story. A great passion project and a pleasure to watch!!!
The Orlando furioso thing is Roland. Him, his arc and all of the characters part of his backstory are based on it. Including his main card, Furioso and his wrapon Durandel. The characters being the obvious Angelica, and Astolfo and Olivier the latter two being two other knights of Charlemagne.
To point a small thing out about Parker: In the original cover for the first chapter, Catt isn't present, with Parker taking their place. Then from the second cover onwards, Catt now takes the place of Parker in the cover because Parker gets killed.
The original LoR ending was cut due to Korean's player backslash feeling like the ending was a bait for another game. Which is fucking stupid considering we did end up getting another game and a planned direct sequel. I have conflicted feelings on this because on one hand, the backslash was just unwarranted and dumb and on the other Poems on the Machine is beautiful.
Which is so weird to me because lobotomy corporation LITERALLY did that for Ruina, ig maybe because it was a smaller niche game people didnt care at the time? Regardless thats such a weird sentiment to have, like of course they’re gonna make another game
As a note to the legacy abnormalities, there’s one I never get heard about a lot: hammer of light, I don’t know a whole lot about hammer of light, but what I do know is that it can’t be accessed unless a breach happens, in that case the employee sent to it can use it to gain massive buffs to kill the abnormality, and they die when the breach is over
Wow, I honestly could not tell at all the Keter realization was rushed. That was such an amazing and immersive experience that felt so natural, I thought I was such a brilliant conclusion. Turns out, they're just like any other person- writes the most beautiful poetic shit when the deadline for your paper is due at 8am which is 3 hours from now and you pulled an all-nighter.
As someone who has a bunch of holes in their knowledge about lovotomy corp and ruina, this was a really good video! Also, the bit with the George of the Jungle animated series was really funny
The virtues as unused ego pages for Library of Ruina were probably planned when making the concept of a veteran librarian version of the assistant librarian page that probably would have been used as a upgrade after you get the max level of a floor realization. Think about it: the assistants start out weak and even have lines for stating such a thing, assistant pages are the weakest but less so to rats, and the art book depicts what looks to be extra cutscenes for angela reminiscing on the friends she's going to miss before going into the light and the floor of language cutscene shows what looks to be a more battle-hardened librarian armed with a riot shield showing that it was probably considered before getting scrapped. If project moon does make it in creating that open world game in the future, I really hope they go back into their old roots and consider bringing back the things they had to scrap in their other games and world building concepts.
really awesome video! it definitely shows how much work you put into it, everything is really well-researched (weirdness of the iceberg itself aside LOL with its interesting choices of placement) speaking of which, i love how nobody can agree on roland's black silence status LOL. i also disagree with the 'angelica /also/ was the black silence' on the iceberg, because angelica was the only black silence- roland was just grade 1, he had a perception blocking mask which made nobody able to recognize him and just chalked him up to "oh it's the black silence" because they fought similarly, since the musicians of bremen refer to the black silence coming in and killing the pianist, meaning there wasn't a change in title (aka roland officially becoming the black silence). great job with the video!
Okay my guess for the Pixiv Tag entry is that Project Moon, Library of Ruina and Limbus Company are all english tags and due to the weirdness of pixiv and tag making, each of these games have different iterations to how you spelled and some PJM fan art is not present in these similar tags, roughly having 2 different spells each. You might not get art that's in the ProjectMoon tag but is in the Project_Moon tag. There's also a lack of character name tags. Its, no joke, kind of a mess to go through pixiv because the tagging of PJM is so bad.
most of the front page of pixiv is just scantily-clad young anime girls in suggestive poses, and im assuming that this is reflected (not including the children) in the pm fanart. that and the tagging system as well.
Imma be real thos sound too lame and lowbrow to be on an Iceberg, like of course a fandom as horny as PJM has r34 in Pixiv. Honestly the bigger eldritch horror is that fact there's up to 3 Project Moon related tags for a single game's name and the sheer lack of character-specific tags. Library of Ruina has Library_of_Ruina, same name but in Japanese, and same as the first but without the _.
It is so incredibly strange to me that the person who made this iceberg put Artbooks in the third tier, and yet for some reason put Clown Smiling at Me, Beanstalk without Jack, Book without Picture or Dialog, Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage, Pale Horse, Someone's Portrait, Etc. in the fifth tier, despite every one of those cut abnormalities being /in/ the Lob Corp art book. Feels vastly inconsistent. Like maybe there were some people who know about the artbook/didn't read it but, skipping the 4th tier entirely? But I can't even say they skipped the 4th tier because Clerk Pistols are for Suicide, Poor Screenwriters Note, Hammer of Light, Puss in Boots, Etc were all in the Artbook too, so what makes those ones worthy of being tier 4 but the others tier 5?
yeah i noticed that while making the video but i thought it would be kind of a loser move to go “well this persons iceberg wasnt that good so i made it better”
About all of the unused abnormality pages in Ruina In the really early access version, each floor of the library had 10 upgrades. You would spend key pages to unlock upgrades (key pages were infinite at this time) and every 2 upgrades would unlock multiple abnormality pages at once, with each abnormality only having 1-2 pages, but you unlocked 6 pages at a time. Many of the effects from these pages were turned into the 3rd pages of the various abnormalities once the abnormality fight update happened. Funnily enough, silent girl was in the early access version and then removed in the abnormality fight update, many thought she had been scrapped for 2 games in a row until they added her in the Keter realization update as the last abnormality in the game.
I love the Gods of the Seasons and Warden designs. I wish for a button pin with the word "Chesed's Love Sensor." Also! Some things not on the list! LC Backer Agent Names: When placing in Names of certain Backers for LC, a custom Agent will appear. "Dream of a Black Swan" is likely a result of the Smoke War: It's known that part of why Old L-Corp was so disliked was as a result of the mental/physical afflictions their energy production byproducts created. The Story of this Abnormality seems to mention this as a cause of its creation. "Open can of Wellcheers" is also a reference to a Urban Korean urban myth about not drinking open cans of soda because there might be drugs, and you'll get kidnapped and forced into manual labor... like some kinda dumbass. Speaking of, The vending machine "Suck my Energy!" in Wonderlab, may be Open Can of Wellcheers' Aberration form. Also! Project moon has, at some point, referred to a notorious glitch as an Abnormality, though I cannot for the life of me remember what name they called it!
for the dream of a black swan thing in library of ruina when youre doing the fight against black swan the background is the one used during the sections in the story where they talk about the smoke war, so yeah im pretty sure that the abnormality is a result of the smoke war also another interesting thing, the story of the abno makes reference to a girl named elijah, who surprisingly isnt malkuth, it just seems to have been an odd coincidence also yeah the warden and the gods of the season look insanely cool, and maybe if they were in lob corp pm could have used them to somehow parallel/reference the gods of the city (another thing not on the list) or something just like they did with the birds, but they seem to intentionally be keeping that part of the lore hidden, which makes me think theyre gonna be really important soon
feel like my insight is increasing by the end of the video. Been playing the games since lob corp but only now I heard about the theories and unused abnos, This is a very informative and good video indeed, Also 39:09 knowledge give me chills.
@@tonreporch hopefully not literally (I’m bad with detecting sarcasm/jokes online) but still, I wouldnt have expected George of the bloody jungle of all things. Legit I thought touhou would’ve been more expected.
My guess of the Pixiv entry is based on word of mouth from friends who claimed to know about it, but the claim is Pixiv had tons of borderline or straight up CP art of Tiphereth/Lisa and tons of art that glorified or fetishized gore and blood relating to certain abnormalities and Love Town. This is because Pixiv is known for allowing hardcore and sometimes borderline illegal pornographic material on their website.
This is a cool video! Love going into the rabbit hole of Project Moon How did you do those meltdown thingies, like the one at the start? Did you use a site or make them yourself?
Isn't carmen distortion the theory that carmen is the one who talks when a person distorts? Because Dongrang literally calls out her name when he distorts.
I would love to watch this entire video without getting spoiled but I never get around completing LC because of the Sephirah suppressions being hard asf and I don't want to play LoR before finishing LC :(
If you're afraid of not understanding the whole picture, then LoR does a great job at explaining what happened with each Sephirah in LC. I've heard a great analogy about this: If you play LoR after LC, you play from the PoV of a certain someone (it's not really a spoiler but I don't know how much you know) who is closely tied with LC, and it's a continuation of LC story. If you play LoR before LC, you play from the PoV of Roland. You're just a guy who somehow got into the library and now has a whole story to uncover. Also you have an ongoing story with library. Personally I spoiled everything in LC and then completed Asiyah and Briah meltdowns after LoR came out. If you just wanna experience story chronologically then gl with suppresions I guess.
As a quick addition on the Apocalypse Bird entry on Tier 1: The Black Forest that the birds originate from is theorized to be somewhere in either the City itself, or somewhere in the outskirts! Edit: the Bookhunters. The Bookhunters were a group of wildly disorganized Fixers who took it upon themselves to Brave the Ordeals of the empowered Library in order to recover books from within - and eventually, one of them managed to face down and kill Angela, putting an end to the 13 year chokehold this impuritas civitas had on the city
Downgraded to Star of the City because Angela becomes human- they want her there in that case. Impurities get warped out to the Outskirts if they can't steam roller them.
Imma come back to this video when I finish Lobotomy Corporation and Library Of Ruina. I hope this video gains some traction and does well in the algorithm!
Nice video, its great to see brainrot spread- I mean PM receive more attention. That said: Please give mE that diddly darn early Lobotomy Corporation cOntent video Right flipPing noW
What are the meme references supposed to be? I get the “you shall not pass!” reference, but the other two I’m not so sure on. Maybe the Binah one is a reference to “Mario has logged in” from Toilet in Wonderland? And the “Silence, Guest!” Is from the “Silence, wench!” Doge meme? I’m not 100% sure though… Nice Video! I’m subscribed👍
i think binah has logged in is the like just general meme of “(someone threatening) has logged in” and i think that one started in minecraft with like “herobrine has logged in” or something, i didnt expect a toilet in wonderland reference anywhere near me its good to know that im not the only one who knows that game
Also, I’m fairly certain that BongBong Apple and orange to relate to BongBong employee. The name BongBong being a nod to the cut Apple and Orange enemy. I’m certain I heard it somewhere.
@@plasmaguardian21 i always just assumed bongbong was a backers name that donated enough to make up a concept for an ordeal or it was someone in pms nickname, but this makes a lot more sense yeah
Spoiler warning for Roland in library of Ruina ___ About the poem at 17:20 - it sounds awfully a lot like what Roland did. He killed / rampaged after his wife and unborn child were killed. Well some things don’t line up but im assuming maybe Ruina referenced it or Roland’s character was referenced or inspired off the poem because of how project moon likes to make literary references in their games (specifically limbus company)
for 13:58, I think this reffers to the library of ruina wiki, where multiple of the lategame page details are incomplete and usually has Mars' page as a placeholder
@danoffical There is a possibility that this could refer to the Sample Mod (promptly titled Sample Mod) if you open library of ruina with mods when prompted. It has the ID of projmoon.sample, and contains 1 fight, which can be done using 3 SOTC books. The enemies having the appearance of keter nuggets, with their cards using nothing there and ozma's art. It's not tied to any Mod, so that entry could be referring to this
5:39 nuh uh they have expressed interest in making it its own game Though they have said specifically that distortion detective characters can be put into limbus through Walpurgis night but that doesn’t mean the game won’t exist I think I remember limbus being said to be a long term money maker so they can make more ambitious project but I heard that second hand. I’m not coping :( Oh here’s my 2 cents on 25:19 I think that the iceberg says this because how else would gebura get her mimicry? 25:58 ohhhh your bring it up lol 40:57 OHH MY GOD HAVE YOU HEARD THE STORY ABOUT THE GEBURA CUTOUT STABBING???? 44:28 lmao this happened because of ruinas old ending
the money maker thing is def true, projmoon have expressed wanting to take on more ambitious projects a few times (animated series, international hhpp, etc) I havent heard about the distortion detective game though. that would be interesting
@@danofficalDD has big fellowing that project moon decided to make its own game for it that been even mentioned in Q/A and even shown with game releases after limbus being DD then LC2
My guy. Orlando Furioso. Furious Roland. Library of Ruina's MC is named Roland. Several characters within the game are given rather tongue and cheek names, like Astolfo and Angelica. Fuck, Roland's signature attack is literally called 'Furioso'. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE???
@@danoffical i kinda got confused i only recently found out about the project moon in general and only focused on the lore stuff and in one of the lore related vid they joke about being it being gacha guess it was more a joke then literally
@@Saren_5 well, limbus company is actually a gacha game. you have lobotomy corporation, library of ruina and limbus company. library of ruina has some gacha elements, though theres no ingame transactions
@@danoffical Mainly 2 things: - 1. Limbus Onlys now exist - 2. ProjectMoon might suffer the fate of brainlessly churning out the content for Limbus Company and get no future installments to the franchise in the near future. It'll be Fate/ all over again. (I hate commitment. 6 gacha games - please God I need to quit 3 of them so I'm not wasting an hour of my life clicking icons 😱)
@@SanzuRiver I mean as long as people are enjoying the world projmoon wrote im happy, they obviously put a lot of time into it and im glad theyre being recognized finally and I think that projmoon know what theyre doing in reference to their game, and their fans will always stay loyal to them because they wanna see the entire conclusion of the story theyve been building on for years. the whole recent controversy was caused by lots of misunderstandings and lots of people who hadnt played limbus getting involved.
How the heck is anti-capitalist messaging not at the top? The *entire aesthetic of the series* is "late stage capitalist hellscape where human life has no value at all except as corpo cogs".
Nice video, its great to see brainrot spread- I mean PM receive more attention. That said: Please give mE that diddly darn early Lobotomy Corporation cOntent video Right flipPing noW
