The Seven Seals

Hey ya'll, remember when this game was a thing? Well guess what: it still is.

After last May, I basically stopped thinking about this project. I had a lot bigger fish to fry. Things went crazy: I left my job in March of this year and hiked one of the US's long trails, one of the 2,000 plus mile ones.

When I came back, I wasn't really interested in working on the Seven Seals (or any other RM project, for that matter). That stayed the case until I started messing around and making some maps. There's something weirdly therapeutic about mapping with RPG Maker and it was nice to make dungeons and towns and everything without any sort of purpose to the whole thing. Eventually though, I did want a purpose to them, and so I started work on a new project, The Mercenaries, which is inspired by Suikoden.

But, as I worked on the new project, I realized how much I wanted to bring this one to a close. So I started playing my own game, which I hadn't touched or thought about for more than a year. It was kind of fun! With the perspective of time and personal growth, I saw a lot of new areas for improvement and I'm pleased to say that I've been doing extensive work on The Seven Seals since last month.

The game has had some quality of life improvements made and I've made further progress on Chapter Three. I don't think I'll be moving at the breakneck pace I was in 2017/2018, but I do feel confident in saying that Chapter Three will release by the end of December.

To all who've been waiting for the return of TSS (there's got to be at least one of you, right?), thanks for sticking with the game. To folks who may be seeing the game for the first time, welcome! I'm looking forward to doing more work and finishing the project in the future.
