Another week, another less than inspiring progress report, but it's all part of the process. Why does it say 3.5 screens remaining, you ask? That would be because both of the coders I've been working with haven't been able to implement the Encyclopaedia screen properly; a fully functional version exists at the moment, but it still isn't good enough, and so I'm going to have to find a third person. This time, I'm gonna make sure it's someone who is an absolute expert at Ren'Py so that I can make sure I meet the promised May release date. My hope is that enough progress is made by next week that I can flirt with the idea of giving an official release date, or at least a window.

This time, rather than post screenshots as I usually do, I'd like to share with you the family insignias/sigils for each of the major noble houses of Rosegate. They are as follows:

Bosque - The Shield

Calder - The Bow

Devereux - The Dagger

Fellner - The Griffin

Ivavenko - The Lotus

Nikitin - The Trident

Quinza - The Spear

Van der Valde - The Axe

Despite the fact that Devereux is the main family and their sigil will be used as a logo for the game, I must admit that Nikitin and Ivavenko are my personal favourites. Don't they just look clean as hell?
