Crimson Veil News

It's been a hectic week for me. I don't about all of you, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming Spring Recess for some extra free time!

This week, I got down to drafting the scenario for the "Countess in Crimson" quest. I've sketched out a map of the layout while adding in notes of aspects I want to add to this short dungeon. I also finished making some of the new sprites for the characters in this quest and importing all of their character portraits into the game. With that step out of the way, I can begin map building and event scripting!

The loyal maid, Lauren Lindholm's character portrait and expressions are all done. I also finished the colors and shading for another character, Captain "Redbeard" Gloria:

I haven't finalized all her expressions yet, as I'm waiting until I'm done writing the script for her scenes, but I cleaned up her look a lot from the initial sketch and I'm quite satisfied with how she turned out.
I want to use the some of the time I have working on this update to clean up some other things in the vampire route. Stuff like adding in additional character portraits and adjusting some maps come to mind. Are there any small aspects of the vampire route that are nagging you? Let me know and maybe I can address them in time for this update.

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

Happy Sunday everyone. This week’s post is the first to simultaneously release on Steam. I hope those of you who are new to the game will catch up with the game’s news regularly to see what’s next in the pipeline! Let’s get into it.

This week was spent sprucing up the newest area, the pirate ship known as the “Ruddy Raider”. The boat pieces and flags were confusing me while I was assembling the map, so I had to look up a few references while making it. All the rooms are connected to one another, though not all of the rooms are fully furnished.



You will be able to access the ship once you have accepted the questline in Humilem Village by visiting the new Port of Mor, which has been moved to the eastern side of the map.

I’ve also finished coloring a new character for the second quest of this update. This is Alvin Rosenblad.



Much like his sister, Alvin is haughty and arrogant. When I put the two siblings side by side, you can really see the resemblance.



Anyway, that’s all the news I have to share with you today. Until next time!
