# Historical Development Timeline

## Evidence standard

This is a controlled development record. Dates should be promoted to **verified** only when supported by a dated source file, publication, repository commit, correspondence record, or other preserved artifact. Interpretation must remain distinct from provenance.

| Development movement | Contribution | Current evidence status | Public destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| *The Legend of Lady Violet* | Establishes the ancestral conflict between Violet's duty-bound responsibility and Sebastian's freedom to rebel | Source inventory and dates pending | Planned dedicated archive |
| *The RIM* | Establishes the genesis of Urban Alien Adventures and its concealed-player discovery structure | Source inventory and dates pending | Planned dedicated archive |
| Urban Alien Adventures | Develops distributed narrative across ads, background media, and fragmented public artifacts | Evidence distributed across personal archives; consolidation pending | Ecosystem documentation |
| *Battle the Beast* | Demonstrates nonlinear narrative, recurring identities, timeline repair, and ensemble interdependence | Public repository and archived story materials | `ibloud/battle-the-beast` |
| *Violet's Revenge* | Reframes inherited history as gothic forensic investigation and game design | Public repository; lineage documentation in development | `ibloud/violets-revenge` |
| *Veiled Dominion* | Converts transferable principles into an original strategic system centered on restraint | Public design and engine repository | `Loptr-Lab/veiled-dominion-engine` |
| Loptr Lab practice research | Studies relationships among leadership, production, accessibility, world-building, and knowledge transfer | Active proposed research programme | `ibloud.github.io/research/` |

## Next verification work

- Inventory the original files for *The RIM* and *The Legend of Lady Violet*.
- Record filename, format, creation or publication evidence, custodian, rights status, and public-access decision.
- Preserve originals without rewriting them to match later terminology.
- Document Sebastian's spelling and characterization from primary materials before resolving variations.
- Link claims to artifacts rather than relying on retrospective memory alone.
