this is a dev log that allows you to add questions on the game or series lore. (if series lore if the question is too direct like tell how the game ends, I may not answer but you may ask specific questions like does Peryil kill the slime boss in chapter 4(yes, she does). below is a few that I have gotten during the judging window and some that are variations of questions. PLEASE DO NOT PUT BUGS/GLITCHES IN the comments of this dev log. this is a lore discussion not a glitch/bug fix forum.

1. is the ability to jump infinitely a glitch? NO, it is an intended feature this is due to Peryil being a phoenix and all of Peryil's forms technically do not remove the ability to fly.

2.what is Peryil? at the beginning she starts as a humanoid phoenix. as you progress, she gains the ability to change into different races

3.wait dragons have hair shouldn't it be scales? while both European and Asian mythology has dragons with scales, but some do have hair especially in Asian mythology. the temporal light uses European, Asian mythology, as well as my own imagination. steam is a dwarf water dragon as usually they are easily over 8ft tall. and no this is not meaning he is part dwarf. just the variant of dragon is small in size.

4. why are most monsters humanoid? almost all monsters are far off decedents of Homo-Magica a sister species of Homo-Sapien. (standard human). at the time of writing this I have not put it in the wiki for this game but here is the one from jem of twilight: Homo magica · SpaceTimeWarrior/temporal-light-Jem-of-Twilight Wiki (github.com)

5. who killed Cedric Burnfeather? this question will go unanswered until at least chapter 5 but can be delayed until chapter 6. I will give a hint though it is also a character in Jem of twilight.

6. what are the keys meant for? special levels/skins/secret endings

7. is the ending of Jem of twilight relevant to this game? considering that a character is wondering the multiverse, and a major villain is controlling characters in multiple universes. it is possible.

8. is this game's ending relevant to Jem of twilight? NO but there may be secret parallels to light's adventure which is a continuation to Jem of twilight.

9. Is Blight the character that is responsible for everything? while she does irritate the solar council, she is mostly innocent of crime surprisingly compared to most solar council members she has misdemeanors at best. I will say she did not kill Cedric. (or any of her crew)

10. why didn't you put in blight's crew's interviews? it is mostly the same as blight's memory. (but quite a bit more NSFW such as bodily dismemberment, extensive torture, and other things that where explicitly banned in the jam rules).

10b. are you going to add them now that the jam is over? likely not but if I do it will be significantly reduced as even though the jam is over, I will try to continue following the rules (excluding the time frame)

11. what is your policy on mods or fangames? it is also in the GitHub license but Temporal Light Fan content policy - Google Drive

12. are you going to abandon any of your past projects? other than Jem's magic lesson or the Minecraft mod for the series. No but I will focus on the current game for about a month or two.

13. are you going to use a more advanced engine such as Gamemaker? for Jem's magic lesson I actually did. but for now, no.  when Gamemaker changed their license the intentionally excluded GMS2 licenses from getting updates. (commercially that is, and I am tired of their support). Godot is a good idea but if I want to retrofit the GB-studio games I will need an engine similar to Gamemaker as I need the ability to target specific objects and have an event system, I will also need to have a program to build the sprites as most are in like 20 pieces (minor but annoying issue). I will need the ability to create shaders for the maps and the characters or manually color in the whole thing.

14. is Blight a Mary Sue? NO however one has already been on screen they will start changing for the better when they interact with brier in a future chapter. while blight is powerful there are multiple explanations for how she got so powerful. first it has to be what she is. monsters magic power is roughly based on the average of their parents' magic storage. Jem's level for storage was 64 and Flare's was about 800 (he has extreme magic storage but no way to actually use it). second, she was trained by Jem's secret service which she personally handpicked the best magic users in their respective fields. although brief she was even trained by bright signet on mafia relations. with her many run-ins with the solar council, she did learn diplomacy.

15. what would have happened if Peryil never did chapter 4? literally what she said in the intro.

16. has Blight killed others after the incident with wolf city? Yes, but in self-defense. she typically doesn't try to kill unless you give her reason to do so.

17. is Blight a goddess? NO but steam does idolize her like one. she is still mortal even with all the power she has. in fact, using her power against her is probably the easiest way to kill her (although probably suicidal depending on how you do it).

18. why don't I see a lot of humans in this game? by Jem of twilight humanity was on the brink of extinction and between Cedric's and brier's actions basically committed genocide on the rest. no pureblooded/natural born humans exist by the events of the game. (excluding flashbacks).

19. what is blight's race? Blight's race is mixed. here is her mother's race: 50% kitsun0e and 50% Shadowcat. and here is her father's 99%human,0.25%angel, 0.7% Homo-Magica,0.05%trace other races (outside of the 99% many don't know where the 1% of other races came from as his parents are both 100% human)

20. (a question from Jem of twilight) is bright related to Flare? NO other than growing up in the same area and have similar tastes but bright is not related at least not by blood.

21. why does Peryil die so quickly underwater? Peryil is a phoenix which means she is a fire elemental. fire elementals when more than 50% submerged in water, the water becomes very acidic to them. it also will create burns similar to a chemical burn.

22. how many levels are you planning? 8 story levels and 2 special levels.
