Crimson Veil News

We have a winner for Contract Contest #10! “Something Familiar About Her” will be the next quest added to the vampire route! Congratulations to Rosen King and thanks to everyone who submitted their ideas as well as those who voted! It was certainly a contest with a few close rounds! I’ll get to work on adapting it this week!

A while back I shared a sketch for a new enemy type I wanted to implement at some point. To add variety to the enemy roster, I wanted there to be different hunters for Mila to fight aside from the basic vampire hunter and their various looks. Each of these enemies would focus on a specific skill type (Smash, Piercing, Fire, Holy, etc) For this update, I want to replace some of the generic enemies with them. Here is a preview of the Axe Fighter, a hunter that specializes in… Axes!



Dark skin and bright amber eyes are a powerful combo

To complement her, I’ve also sketched 2 other enemies, one focused on Knife Skills and another on Cross Skills.





The Knights of Friedrich are varied in their disciples, as shown with Vicilla and Eve during chapter 2-V. I believe by adding these enemies, it will better demonstrate that to players. I hope you like these designs and look forward to their finalized versions.

Speaking of, I have the full preview of the Axe Fighter and her vampire/ghoul forms available now to all my $5+ Patrons. I hope you check it out and tell me what you think of her.

That's all I have for you this week. Until next time, everyone!

It’s been a challenging week for me personally. I don’t want to get into the details, but it's been emotionally stressful and I haven’t felt particularly creative. I did a bit of work on importing older maps to the vampire route, but they aren’t in a sharable state yet. I did some art to try and pull myself out of this funk. It’s a sketch of Alexandria in a swimsuit(?) I’ll probably get to coloring this at some point.  This isn’t art for the game by the way, just something I felt like drawing. 



I’ve been thinking about what I want to focus on once I am completely finished working on Crimson Veil, and I think that’s improving my art and creating more of it. I feel like my priorities are scattered week to week between game design, writing and drawing. So whenever I get back to drawing, I feel rusty. If It’s something I make more consistently, I know I’ll substantially improve. Don’t worry, that’s still a while from now. I just want to share my thoughts about what I want to do once Crimson Veil is complete, because it’s been hanging over my head this week.

More importantly, here is the bracket for Contract Contest #10! 



Each round of voting will last 24 hours and will be voted on by my $5+ patrons, with each higher level giving 1 additional vote per tier level. You can read all of the entries at this link:

Hello everyone!

I want to thank each of the new patrons who joined for last week’s game update release! I hope everyone who has played the game has been able to enjoy the new content! I also want to thank all of you who have messaged me with any issues that you’ve encountered. You’ve helped iron out plenty of blind spots that I missed and made the game better for everyone. I believe I have been able to address and correct all of the issues sent to me so far, but there is still a week before the game is released publicly, so I encourage you all to continue to message me with any bugs or issues you encounter!

This week’s been busy for me personally. I haven’t made much progress on updating the guide so far, but I’m going to focus on getting everything done to have it released simultaneously with the public version, next Sunday the 28th.

If anyone else is interested in getting added as an NPC for the latest version, please join the appropriate tier by Wednesday the 24th, as I will be closing submissions by then.

I will also be releasing the latest Bad Ends comic on my twitter later this week! Be sure to follow me there so you can read it as soon as it’s posted! @MaikeruUrashima

That’s all I have for you today, Just a quick update! Next Sunday should be exciting for anyone who has yet to play the game! Until next week everyone!
