Crimson Veil News

[p]This week, my main focus has been on completing the commissions that were sent my way. To everyone who purchased one—thank you so much. Your support means a lot, and I’ll be sharing the pieces I’m able to post on Patreon over the next few days as they’re completed.[/p][p][/p][p]I also want to extend my thanks to everyone who has submitted an idea for the final Contract Contest! There’s still time to get your entry in if you haven’t yet. You can find the rules here: [/p][p][/p][p]https://www.patreon.com/posts/contract-contest-144760109?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] The final day to submit your idea will be Saturday, December 13th.
Remember—this is the last opportunity to have your concept turned into an official contract quest in Crimson Veil. Voting will kick off next week![/p][p]Lastly, I’m excited to share that the first two episodes of the new Crimson Veil video walkthrough are now live on YouTube! [/p][p][/p][p]I’ve brought on some additional help for this project, and new episodes will be uploaded to the game’s channel as they come in. There will be two playlists—one for each route—so players can follow along however they choose. You can watch the episodes here: [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]Likes, comments, and shares are hugely appreciated—they help the project reach more people, and I’m hopeful this walkthrough series will introduce Crimson Veil to a wider audience.[/p][p]That’s all I have for today. Until next week, everyone![/p]

[p]Now that the latest story chapter has been released in 5.7.1, I’m shifting focus back to one last set of side stories before attention turns fully toward the game’s finale! Below is a character I’ve been working on who may look familiar to some of my higher-tier patrons who’ve followed my work for a few years and checked out the sketches I’ve posted. [/p][p][/p][p]She was originally designed for one of the game’s very first updates, but ended up going unused! Over six years later, she’s finally getting her chance to shine in her own quest—albeit in a repurposed form and a fresh look. I’ll be sharing more details about her and her role in upcoming weekly updates.[/p][p]Next, I’m excited to announce that this update will host the FINAL Contract Contest for Crimson Veil! [/p][p][/p][p]This is your last chance to have your idea added as a quest in the game. Please make sure to follow the rules found at the following link: [/p][p][/p][p]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EP3kOxe9fKmWtsZqrNio4yIICm_o2oZpHs05uDdIsNQ/edit[/p][p][/p][p]All ideas must be submitted by Saturday, December 13th. The best entries will then be voted on by Patrons the following Sunday. I’m giving everyone a bit more time than usual to flesh out their ideas, since this is the last contest—but I’m also doing this to give myself a little breathing room to have time for my final announcement.[/p][p]I am once again opening commissions to help raise money for the holidays. You can find my current rates below: [/p][p][/p][p]If there’s a character you’d like me to draw for you, please send me a direct message or email your request to: [/p][p][/p][p][email protected][/p][p][/p][p]Commission slots will be limited, and I’ll make an announcement once they’re fully closed.[/p][p]That’s all I have for you this week. Until next time, everyone.[/p]

If you haven’t played the newest chapter yet, it is still available in early access over on my Patreon: [/p][p]https://www.patreon.com/MKRUdesign[/p][p][/p][p]This week, I’ve been focused on updating the walkthrough to Version 5.7.1.

It will be released in parts and will cover the Hunter Route from start to finish. My plan is to upload it to YouTube once it’s edited—of course, I’ll have to cut or censor anything that violates their guidelines—but I’m hoping this can serve as another way to share the game, help new players, and maybe even bring more people into the community.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all I have for this week. Until next time, everyone![/p]
