Hey everyone. Alex on the beat and… I messed up. When scheduling the releases, I mixed up the dates, so today I uploaded two tracks to the platforms instead of one. Unfortunately, my life is complete chaos right now. I don’t bring it into the public space, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect my work. So mistakes like this can happen. But in your case, it only means one thing: you got more music in one day 😂

So what’s the plan? Two tracks are already live today. Trying to take one down and re-upload it would just be shooting myself in the foot. So we’ll let it be. On YouTube, there will be one video for the track OUTSOURCED, which was originally supposed to come out today. The video for Nostalgia will be released next Friday. There won’t be any new releases from Alex Esseker on streaming platforms next Friday. However, I’m planning to drop a full album from CYBERMOON. It’s already finished — just needs some final polishing. That’s what I’ll be working on today.

So yeah… that’s how it is.

Hello everyone! Alex on the beat!
And this is a long read about our girls and their lore.

About a week ago, I posted something where I invited you to ask questions about the waifu world. Unfortunately, at the moment Yuki and I don’t have the ability to properly build a unified web resource for our world, so the information will have to be shared in fragments. Still, I hope you’ll find it interesting.
So, let’s begin. Your questions:

Where are the girls from originally? What kind of world do they live in? Does it have any special features?
I’ll combine these questions into one answer.

All of our waifu mascots are not from our world. Their world is called Leyrmore. Yuki and I originally created it for a tabletop role-playing game, Pathfinder, which we played with our friends. It was a dark medieval fantasy world where we tried to shift the focus away from epic heroism toward everyday, relatable social and бытовые (daily-life) problems.

In 2022–2023, we wrote two books and one short story set in this world. Maybe someday I’ll publish them. More recently, we decided to expand Leyrmore and imagine how this world could evolve into a kind of sci-fi cyberpunk future. So now it’s a world with advanced technology and a fairly deep history. Its timeline spans a little over 6,000 years.

There are many distinctive features. For example, in ancient times, magic existed in this world. About 600 years ago, magic was the foundation of society. However, after a series of events, mortals lost the ability to cast spells. In the modern era of our waifus, magic is considered a myth or a children’s fairy tale.

Also, their world has no electricity and no oil. Instead, there is Mg radiation, which powers everything. It’s the main energy source. Technologies based on Mg radiation made it possible, for example, to create a global AI — which eventually led to a machine uprising, during which Luna’s parents were killed.

In addition to humans, there are other races in this world. More on that below.

The city where all the girls live, except for Luna and Crystal, is called New Altania.

Are there any special relationships in the group? Like best friends, budding romance, or rivals?
There isn’t really a single “group” as such. What you saw in the Dash video can be considered staged. In reality, not all of the girls know each other.

Let’s start with friendships. Eva and Lily are best friends. Both of them also get along very well with Luna, and the three of them often hang out together.

Lily has a very good relationship with Gerda. Gerda is her adoptive aunt. Edward is Gerda’s biological brother and Lily’s stepfather. Lily and Edward have a warm father–daughter relationship — he taught her a lot.

Crystal is Luna’s attending physician. After the car accident in which Luna formally died (and later became a cyborg), Crystal took charge of her treatment. Crystal works as a neuropsychologist and helps people who have undergone cybernetic implantation or full body replacement.

Nancy is friends with Anna — Eva’s twin sister — and therefore knows Eva and Lily as well. Nancy lives in a village and sometimes comes to the big city to hang out.

Melissa works as the chief accountant at a corporation where Eva’s father is a member of the board of directors. As a result, she knows Eva well and has occasionally crossed paths with Lily.

Keira knows Eva’s father well and therefore also knows Eva and Lily. She is also familiar with Luna and Melissa. She looks at everyone with a slight sense of superiority. She treats Luna with a certain amount of contempt because Luna cannot fully accept her cybernetic body. From Keira’s point of view, Luna is just an ungrateful fool who doesn’t appreciate the second chance she was given.

As for romantic relationships, at the moment only Crystal has a stable partner. She is happily married to her husband, Lars. None of the other girls have a boyfriend or husband.

Eva has a rather fickle personality and changes partners frequently. Gerda was married for two years but divorced after her husband cheated on her. There is currently a court case regarding the division of property.

Luna had a boyfriend, but after she became a cyborg, he left her (both he and Luna were activists against cyborgs and AI).

Melissa dreams of getting married, but because of her personality, men often just take advantage of her.

Lily is liked by many guys, but at the moment she prefers to focus on her studies and her future career.

Keira gets plenty of male attention, but she doesn’t have a permanent partner.

Who do you identify with the most / who is your favorite?
I love them all. These characters have gone from being faceless dolls with boobs on my track covers to fully fledged heroines with their own personalities, traumas, dreams, and ambitions.

But if we’re talking about my personal top 3:

Keira

Luna

Lily

Keira, aside from being very attractive visually, has a very deep backstory that I can’t share yet. Intrigue.

Luna interests me both as a virtual singer who breaks the fourth wall and as a tragic character. Even though her story was invented by Yuki and me, I genuinely empathize with her.

Lily has also gone through real hell. But unlike Luna, she evokes more respect than sympathy. Lily has a very strong, combative personality. She doesn’t shy away from difficulties. She’s brave and persistent. I want to talk about her in more detail in a video game.

Do magic and cyberpunk exist in the same time period, or are they different eras?
They are different eras. The gap between the modern age and the age of magic is about 600 years. For our girls, that period is studied in school the same way we study the Renaissance. Not prehistoric, but not recent history either.

How many of our waifus are involved in this world?
In the cyberpunk era, all of them are involved — this is their “present.” In the past, when magic existed, only Keira was involved. Keira lives a long time. A very long time. An unnaturally long time 😉

How old are they all?

Eva Darskaya — 18

Lily Richter (Smith at birth) — 17

Nancy Kitsukawa — 15

Gerda McMayer (née Richter) — 31

Crystal Murphy (née Ulvskog) — 26

Melissa Mirbach — 29

Luna Turing — 22 (at the moment of her biological death), technically 24 now

Keira Campbell — a fuckton

Why do Keira and Gerda have horns?
Good question! If we ignore the fact that Gerda’s husband cheated on her (those who get it, get it), this is a racial trait. Both Keira and Gerda belong to the Izarii race. Their homeland is the continent of Eretesh, located in the southern part of Leyrmore.

When the Izarii arrived on human lands, they were called half-demons. The name stuck and is still commonly used today. It’s not considered an insult, although in media and official business contexts the term “half-demon” is avoided.

Izarii racial traits include longer lifespans than humans — average life expectancy is 170–200 years. In addition to horns, they have sharp teeth and red eyes. Besides normal food, they drink blood — currently either artificial blood or animal blood.

What races exist in this world?
In the modern world, besides humans, there are kitsune, Izarii (half-demons), Gainers (dark elves), and half-elves. Cyborgs exist but are still few in number and cannot reproduce naturally, so I wouldn’t classify them as a separate race.

Six hundred years ago, in addition to these races, there were also orcs, dwarves, halflings, and elves. However, after a global cataclysm followed by an ice age, these races became completely extinct.

What about the game or games? When do you plan to release them, and how?
Everything is complicated and ambiguous. The problem is that all modern open game engines have a very high entry barrier. These tools are not designed for people without a technical background to do much of anything (unlike FL Studio, where you don’t need to know music theory or be an audio engineer to make something that slaps).

So my idea of making a game about our waifus is very ambitious. Possibly too ambitious. The issue isn’t even the scope, but the fact that I’m a beginner. I literally have to learn everything on the fly. There are no learning materials that match my needs. The community is extremely toxic and responds to almost any question with “RTFM” (Read The Fucking Manual).

And I work alone. All I really have is ChatGPT — and this robot, unlike the AI in our waifu world, is kind of dumb and often lies. So if I run into a problem or don’t know how to do something, there’s no one to ask.

At the same time, I don’t want to make a game I wouldn’t play myself, so visual novels are a no-go. Not because the genre is bad — I don’t want to offend anyone — it’s just not my thing.

So for now, I don’t have any concrete plans for releasing a game.

Those are my answers to your questions. If you liked this format and still have things you’re curious about — ask away. I’ll make a second part.

At the end of February, CYBERMOON (Luna) will release an album in the nu-metal / industrial metal style. It’s going to be insane!

Hey everyone. Alex on the beat!

Today was the premiere of the track MY HELL, which gained over 2,000 plays on Spotify in less than 24 hours — something I personally consider a great result! Thank you all so much. But this post isn’t about the track right now.

Lately, I’ve been noticing more and more interest from you in the world of our anime waifus. You want more details about their lore, and that’s super cool. I’m genuinely happy to see this kind of interest. At the moment, the lore is still in development. Yuki and I are discussing details, coming up with new plot twists… After all, creating a world from scratch with a history that spans both a magical medieval era and a high-tech cyberpunk future is no easy task.

That said, I think I can already answer many of your questions. So for everyone who wants to learn more about our lore, I suggest leaving your questions in the comments under this post. I’ll read them all and, in a separate post, give detailed answers to each one. I think it’ll turn into an interesting and informative interactive experience.

Hi everyone. Are there any people among my followers who are knowledgeable about 3D modeling? Or maybe you have friends or acquaintances who do it professionally. I’m looking for a consultation and possibly some help (of course, paid).

Please send me a direct message on Instagram or Telegram.

People have made their choice. So I’m officially announcing it: Our white-hair waifu will be spelled as Kristal in English. People preferred the unusual spelling over the more correct one. 💃
