[STiBaRC Trivia] LIFE

The game characters also influenced the STiBaRC comunity, with emoji's like :midori_parched: being added to the STiBaRC Discord server and STiBaRC's flagship app. The custom emoji's have been absent in the app since the 2023 redesign (released in 2025) due to it's limited scope. (The app was already years in the making and needed to just get released already). The :midori_parched: emoji specificity being used up to today within the community on Discord. Usually by Alluthus himself (the creator of Life).

LIFE is a side-scrolling video game created by -Verso- (first announced under the username iiLucky12), now known as Alluthus. Though never released, it remains an important part of STiBaRC culture. Ironically enough, an information project about LIFE was shared a mere few days before the announcement of Fiber Nova starting development. If it wasn’t any obvious, Verso adopts high fixations to certain things for a certain period of time. Prior to LIFE’s announcement, Verso’s friends at school showed him all of their various creations on the code learning website Scratch, which inspired him to try and create his own “unique” game. So, that was his “fixation” for the next three years. While trying to create LIFE, Verso somehow ended up a member of the Fiber Nova team. Despite having no skills in graphic design, this was where he was placed (his inclusion on the team was due to petty arguments between other team members). After Fiber was shut down in 2017, Verso continued to work on his game, though it also included its own fair share of teenage drama by himself and others that formerly were part of the Fiber community. Despite this, many people helped contribute to the game, including former Fiber team members Sunsetly and herronjo alongside former beta testers -Nero- and Ceo_. In December 2018, a full-functional LIFE beta project was finally released. Unfortunately, the roll out of Scratch 3 broke the project, resulting in the beta to be taken down and the game ultimately got shelved. Project cancellation seems to be a common trope in the lore of STiBaRC. LIFE played its own different integral role, nonetheless. Surviving the game is the soundtrack itself, which saw a formal release to digital stores in 2020 via STiBaRC Records. With tracks by Verso and Nero, the LIFE soundtrack introduced Verso to music, which he returned to in 2020 by forming STiBaRC Records with Josh and Sophie. Essentially, without the LIFE soundtrack, STiBaRC Records may have never existed. Sources: https://scratchstats.org/users/-Verso-
