Update 26: Week Seven Update Live~ · Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem

Hi guys! <3 I KNOW I’M SO LATE, but here’s the happy shiny new update weeeeeee~

[7kpp]

popping back from the hiatus to reblog the new build in case anyone missed this out. we're one build away from the last according to aly's update!

[azalynestudios]

(I don't have a tumblr so you'll have to deal with anonymity, I'm afraid) What I came to ask you: when will you admit that you have lost the drive and motivation to continue the project? It has been made clear by now that you bit off more than you can chew, both by constant delays and excuses and by how the writing quality in alpha version have steadily deteriorated. I don't want yo be mean, but someone had to say it. Whatever interest and hype there were for your game, they're mostly gone.

I seriously debated whether I should answer this one or not. Not because I’m not on board with full honesty, but because there’s enough unhappy things in the world and I have been purposefully trying to keep my personal unhappy away from everyone here because you are all so lovely.

But ultimately I decided I should respond just in case there’s lots of people thinking the same thing.

Here’s a short version for people who aren’t up for a discussion of health/mental health/world talk/real talk (and don’t feel bad if that is you!): I have 100% not lost interest or drive for the game. Although it has been taking much longer than anticipated, It’s coming along. And while your opinion on the writing quality may vary, I personally think these last weeks have some of the best moments in the game. If it’s not to your taste anymore or you are sick of waiting, that’s totally fair. Thank you for your support this far and I wish you all the best!

okay the rest under the happy kittens cut:

here's aly's update regarding the reasons for the delay of 7KPP, if any of you are curious and missed this out!

[azalynestudios]

hey aly! me and my friends are your Kickstarter backers and we want to suggest that you put out a table with the percentage of how far things are coming along (like is bana done with all the art?) i know you're tired of people asking about this over and over again, but all we know is that you've been writing the final week. cheers!

The big problem with this is that my estimates (of how much work something is, how long something is going to be, how long it should take) have proven universally wrong! So I don’t feel comfortable with percentages or estimates anymore. Failing and disappointing you guys SUPER BUMS ME OUT. And it makes work much more stressful and anxiety inducing. SORRY GUYS. In the future I’m determined to find a better system (I probably won’t release info on the game until it’s way far along from now), but for now this is the best I’ve got.

I can tell you that the final week is already longer than a YA novel by wordcount.

Still to do (writing wise): final pre-ending scenes with romances and some special pre-ending one and ones with non-romances. The official summit discussion and approval of the 7 marriages. The final final negotations. 

Then the million and one ending variations and epilogues.

(And then going back and adding in the three new backgrounds and characters, hahaha *dies* and then the extras HAHAHAHahahaAha.)

Art: Bana is done with everything except the chibis from people who haven’t sent me their descriptions yet. Yay, all the arts!

Programming/Gui overhalls: waiting until most of the writing is done so I have an idea of how many endings/extras/etc. will be needed and I can just hand over the script without messing with it all the time.

update from the mods.

Hey guys, it’s Mod Lyon and Mod Avalie here.

We know this is way overdue, but we’d like to thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation in 7KPP Week! We hope all of you had a good time reading and admiring all the different entries.

Today we’d like to talk about a little something, something that has been on our minds for some time now. 

We’re sure that most of you, in particularly the fans who have been with the development of 7KPP since its earliest days, would have noticed a general decline in activity with the fandom. This is most evident with the obvious decrease in our recent 7KPP week participation in comparison to the previous runs in 2017 and 2015. *flashback to when we received so many submissions, the 3 of us went a little crazy reblogging*

Admittedly, the mods ourselves have felt an increasing lack of motivation in maintaining the blog... And perhaps even a loss of interest in the game itself. We aren’t going to lie, the constant lack of updates on its status has been disappointing. This also means that we have nothing to bring to you guys through this blog besides answering repeated asks about the guide. While we still love and support 7KPP, the amount of passion and excitement we have for it as it is now just no longer measures up to what we felt two years ago. 7KPP.tumblr.com started off with five mods, and now there’s only down to the two of us.

As such, the both of us have decided to put the 7KPP tumblr on hiatus until the game sees an official release date. Although it’s highly unlikely anyone will feel disappointed with the closure of this blog (given our frequent lack of inactivity), we’d still like to apologise for the inconvenience it might bring to anyone else. For all help regarding the game, please refer to all our past guides and asks. 

Thank you for everything adorable army.

General Update <3

Because you guys are such unbelievably lovely people there are quite a few sweet notes, updates and general inquiries about me/the status of the game in my inbox.

Instead of answering individually, I will just answer here.

I so appreciate you all and your amazingness. (And no, concerned anon, pretty much everyone has been supportive and kind, no nasty notes or anything.)

The past couple months (and to a lesser extent the past year) have been pretty rough personally, but you guys have always, always been a bright spot. I appreciate you all *so* *so* much.

As for the game, unfortunately I still don’t have much of an update. I’ve been working in much smaller batches thanks to some residual anxiety issues and stress/burn out. But progress is still happening and I hope to have good news soon!

Sorry not to have a better update yet. <3

Love you all!

Day 3 of 7KPP Week: Dawn/Midnight

“Remember Loriela, deep breaths. Deeeep breaths.”

Loriela followed her own advice but she had nothing to worry about right? She’s hosted great parties before. Granted those parties were held for a bunch of older drunk pirates but hey the musicale turned out well right? Right! Besides how can someone screw up a picnic? All you need is good food, good friends, and with everything she bought and everyone accepting her invitation, she had both. Nothing to worry about.

…Alright she was a little nervous. But Loriela wasn’t going to let that stop her. She looked up at the night sky and smiled.

“Well it’s a beautiful night. Got that in my favor.”

This was going to be the best (well only but still) Midnight Picnic on Vail Isle.

Day 4 of 7KPP Week: Nostalgia

During her time at the summit, the parlor quickly became Kumari’s favorite place. There was a lovely view of the island from the windows, she enjoyed the company of those who came by, and it was a pleasant place to relax with a cup of tea.

That last one in particular made her reminisce on the days where her mother would embrace her and make a pot of tea for the two of them. Most of her childhood memories were filled with court intrigue, politics, and watching what she said and did. But in those rare moments, there was just the sight and feel of her mother’s silks, the warmth of the cup, and the sweetness on Kumari’s tongue.

Unfortunately thoughts of mother lead to thoughts about the threatening letter she received in her first week. Kumari sighed and pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. She was not going to let this despicable individual taint her memories.

Day 5 of 7KPP Week: Family

Light flooded Khalila’s eyes as she opened the door and stepped onto the ship’s deck. The small babe in her arms cried harder than they did before. But it wasn’t long before they began to calm down and eventually fell asleep in their mother’s arms.

Khalila chuckled, “Barely a few months old and you are already just like your father.”

Though in fairness, since she started traveling with Hamin, Khalila found herself as enamored with the open sea as her husband. So much different from her previous life. Though she doesn’t harbor any anger or hatred about her past, she admits that there wasn’t much room to be a child in the Corval Court. Khalila smiled, even if it won’t be easy (life rarely is, no matter what,) at least her child will not carry that burden.

day five (family)

this is a piece i’ve been working on for a super long time, and 7kpp week finally gives me an excuse to post it!

“The Dowager Baroness of Namaire to see you, my lady.”

Countess Juno de Vradola glanced up from her mending, her expression sharp. She had been quite absorbed, before Erik had interrupted. Only her silver thimble had prevented her from plunging her needle straight into her hand. “My husband stopped taking appointments at half past three,” she said, delicately picking at a stitch. “If this Dowager Baroness’ petition was so terribly important, she should have come first thing this morning, like everyone else.”

“I am aware, my lady.” Erik cleared his throat apologetically, an extra layer of deference on top of his usual opaque courtesy. “But the lady did request to see you, specifically.”

Day 6 of 7KPP Week: AU: Modern/Fairytale

It happened so quickly. One moment, Lucille was running through the library (mistake number one) with a few books (mistake number two.) The next moment, she was sprawled on the floor next to some six-foot-something giant! When her senses returned to her, Lucille immediately picked up her books and started apologizing profusely. The stream of “I am so sorry” was interrupted by the young man handing her one of the books.

“This is one of yours. Yes?“

Lucille smiled and took the book. “Yeah thanks…”

“…Lyon”

“Lucille.”

Day 7 of 7KPP Week: Winter/spring

Jienne had read much about the harsh winters of Skalt. Others had even warned her about how cold the land can be. So when the time came for her to leave her birth nation, she made sure to bring the thickest warmest clothes she had. Unfortunately, none of her studies and precautions prepared her for the real thing.

By the time, she and her group finally met with Ana’s tribe, Jienne could barely feel her arms and legs. Thankfully, relief came when Ana ran to Jienne and placed a dark blue cloak on her shoulders. She still needed to warm up but the extra layer helped. “Thank you, Ana.”

Ana burst into that boisterous laugh that Jienne had grown to love. “I did not endure seven weeks of poof poof froofies for the winter to take my pretty Ji! Come, see your new home!”

7kpp week 2018 Day 2 Fear

Better late than never!  This kind of got away from me a bit and I started it intending it to be for day 3 but it didn’t really work for that so I had to tweak the idea a bit and i forgot my notebook at home one day at work so couldn’t work much on it during my break at work I felt too guilty to leave this at an angsty point so had to throw in some slight fluff. I also haven’t written much with these dorks so I’m still navigating their relationship angst was probably not the best way to figure that out

Anyway!  I said I was going to do more with nerd bro this year ;)

The objects on the dresser rattled when Noah braced himself against it.  He exhaled heavily, trying to catch his breath from the sudden dizziness that had struck him as he was getting ready for the day.  He still only had one sock on but knew he needed to sit down and not concern himself with the intricacies of footwear at that particular moment.  With a sigh he hauled himself away from the dresser, knocking something onto the floor though he didn’t bother to see what.  n legs that suddenly felt weak and heavy he struggled to his desk, sagging into the chair.  "Not now,“ he moaned, covering his face with his hands and shutting his eyes. I can’t be getting sick now, of all times. Not when things have been going so well!

Day 4 - Nostalgia

Memory is a funny thing. Mostly because it lies.

“My lady,” Dulia said, appearing at her elbow. “You may close the door now.”

“I was looking for fresh air,” Aurora said, taking another moment and stepping away.

Dulia smiled blandly. “You left that behind in Namaire, I’m afraid,” she said.

Alt summary: I tried to make Aurora be sentimental and she refused.
