WEEKLY UPDATE!! 3/8/26

[p]This week, I began importing some of the older maps from the Hunter Route into the Vampire Route, specifically areas from the Lingrave Clinic. They’re not quite ready to be shown just yet, as I want to give them a proper makeover to reflect the passage of time between the two routes. The clinic was already in pretty rough shape during the Hunter timeline, so in this version things will be even more dilapidated and decayed. This will also affect how the area is navigated—overall, it will be a more condensed version of the clinic, so players won’t have to trek through it quite as extensively as before.[/p][p]That said, I’ll admit I didn’t spend quite as much time in the engine as I planned this week. I’ve honestly just been enjoying drawing lately. I did finish this new sketch—the reverse scenario of the one I showed last week—where Mila now finds herself in the clutches of a lamia preparing to strike at her neck:[/p][p][/p][p]Unrelated to Crimson Veil, I also spent some time working on this Dragon Quest fan art. I recently started replaying Dragon Quest XI, which got me in the mood to draw Jade.[/p][p][/p][p]I even made a few alternate versions—including a bunny suit and an evil version—which are available now for my Tier 2+ patrons on Discord:[/p][p][/p][p]discord.gg/Mqz6WGn95j[/p][p]    They’ll also be posted to Patreon later this week. [/p][p][/p][p]https://www.patreon.com/MKRUdesign[/p][p][/p][p]Hopefully you don’t mind this little diversion. If I know my audience though, I have a feeling some of you will enjoy it! That said, I plan to fully shift my focus back onto game design this week, as I’m starting to feel a bit behind on that front. So expect to see more development progress in next week’s update.[/p][p]Until next time, everyone![/p]
