What is Sci-Jewel?

Sci-Jewel is love letter and spiritual successor to the Bejeweled franchise. It started out as a fan-project, but has since then been reworked and repurposed to be it's own game and has gotten bigger ever since.

The game is being made with the intention of reviving the original formula that the Bejeweled games tried to establish, as well as re-revolutionize the match-3 genre.

What's currently planned?

There are 12 single-player modes and 6 multiplayer modes, 90+ achievements are planned for the game(seen in the Trophies section), over 80 songs within the soundtrack, and so much more!

Who is writing the game's music?

We have multiple people making music for the project.

GameBoy, aka MusicBoy, is one of the main composers, writing most of the music for the game. You'll see him in Strategy Mode, Time Attack, and several other modes.

Théo Bittler is one of the main composers, writing quite a bit of the music for the game. You'll see him in Time Attack Mode, Discovery Mode and a few other areas.

SlinkyCoil is also a main composer, writing music for Score Attack and a few other sections of the game too.

TaylorMinecraftGaming(the lead project director) and Peter Hajba(the original composer for the Bejeweled games) are composers who make a cameo-like appearance in the game, only appearing in Relaxation Mode.

Where can I play this game?

We don't currently have an area where you can play this game, and we don't have an openly playable build yet. Although, you should expect Sci-Jewel to be on most major platforms and their storefronts at (or close to) release.

We will also occasionally release public builds of the game in a similar fashion to our other game, Drag.

When will this game get released?

It's hard to give an exact date, due to game development being a long process and all that. To give an estimate, if development of the game goes well then you'll be seeing a potential 2026 release.

IndieDB authorized Sci-Jewel's game page on their site! This is an important step in gaining some traction and spreading more awareness of the game.

The game page also acts as an info archive, so you should definitely check it out!

We've uploaded a new revision of the Game Jolt cover and placed more images into (and updated) the gallery!

2024 Roadmap...well, some of it.

The whole thing will be gradually revealed throughout the entire year, so make sure you keep tabs on this.

What are your thoughts on this logo revision? The new "Jewel" uses "Goldman", which is one of Sci-Jewel's primary fonts.

Would you play a game of cards if the deck looked like this?

Someone decided to trash on the Sci-Jewel thread in Bejeweled 3 forums on Steam and attempted to spread hate towards the project. This person requested a thread lock to the mods and was surprisingly successful. Updates regarding this matter coming soon.

The Sci-Jewel transition for the Game Jolt page is finally finished! We can't rest yet, as there's still a lot to do on our end.

In the meantime, the music list has been expanded and features more songs and some fanfares.

The dev server is now publicly available to everyone! If you ever wanted an easier method of keeping tabs on the game's development, this is the best option. There are certain roles that are required for normal access, but this is for security reasons.

After some long and intensive thought, we've decided that we'll be rebranding and changing the game's name to "Sci-Jewel" on December 2nd, 2023. We hope you will all understand the reasons behind this change in the near future.

The game's first dev log is out now! It contains the last 2 game modes and important info regarding the game. https://youtu.be/6BT2ca38fK4
