Status Update #28 - July 27, 2025
🕑 Added 2025-07-27 21:15:19 +0000 UTCIt's been a whirlwind week full of ups and downs. Last week I said I hoped to report that I had finished writing the big scene with tons of different variables, as well as gone thru all the process of setting things up for Steam. Well, I am here to say that the results are "almost" and "kinda". I am just about done writing the scene in question but not quite finished; I still don't anticipate there being any problem in terms of the projected release date, as I'll be done with all the writing by the time the art all comes together. More on the Steam thing later.
Obviously the big wrench thrown in my plans this week was the Itch.io deindexing of all adult games; was pretty disheartening to see the game's traffic on there, which has been very consistent since release, suddenly crater. No word on when they'll be done with their audit of adult titles or whether or not Jezebel will be deleted, but I'm choosing to remain optimistic about a path to reindexation (is that a word?) for now. Either way, the game is currently in jail, so I thought today's preview picture was only fitting.
The good news is that the adult game ban caused me to get in touch with a publisher, with whom I will be working with to market and release the game on Steam. They have a big team and a good track record, so I have all the more reason to be optimistic about the game's future, even if the Itch thing doesn't pan out my way. More on that when the game is about to be released. Of course, Patreon/SubscribeStar are still the best destinations to get the newest releases early, and always will be. I've already been doing the bonus scenes and the episode previews, but as the game gets a bigger following I'll be coming up with even more exclusive stuff for supporters for sure.
Thanks as always for your support, and have a good week!

Potential fallout from the player's decisions in episode 1!

100%. I can do whatever I want. No worries there at all. They're just helping with the marketing and distribution.

The word "publisher" of course always rings the loudest alarm bells for an audience... Of course I am very happy for you that you scored this deal. But since you mentioned it yourself, would you kindly elobarate a little bit on it? Do you still have 100% of artistic authority? Have a good week and sorry for my concern.
