Status Update #8 - March 3, 2025

I figure that, rather than give a general assesment of where I'm at, it would be useful to get more specific and address exactly what needs to be done before the game can be released. These "tasks remaining" lists should be a part of the game's development henceforth, specifically for the latter stages before an episode is out when I know exactly what needs to be completed before launch and can give numbers. With that being said:


Animation - 3 Remaining
Art - 1 CG and 4 Character Sprites Remaining
Background Art - 4 Remaining
GUI - 1 Screen Remaining
Music - 100% Finished
Writing - 100% Finished

As soon as this is all together, it should be a matter of just a week or two before the game itself is ready. I remain confident that this will be sometime in April! :)

This week, I'll be taking a brief look at the Encyclopaedia, the (optional) guide to all things Jezebel lore. The Encyclopaedia will be split up into four main categories: People (hopefully self explanatory), Places (kingdoms, cities, villages, castles, etc.), Histories (historical events of significance, with the name being inspired by my main man Herodotus), and Concepts (everything else). Unlike some in-game encyclopedias, the one in Jezebel is totally canon. Duvessa is an obsessive bookkeeper, and the Encyclopaedia represents her attempt to chronicle the world around her and amass a greater knowledge than her foes. As the story progresses and you make various decisions that influence the world, the Encyclopaedia will update dynamically to reflect what is going on!
