Crimson Veil News

[p]This week, I focused on fleshing out the area of Fenrir Glade, Crescent Village specifically. A long time ago, I shared a very early concept of what this part of the world might look like in the Vampire Route, but my plans have changed quite a bit since then. I’m happy to say most of the new Crescent City’s structure is built, and the old werewolf village has taken on a much more modern appearance![/p][p][/p][p]Over the past century, Fallholt has made peace with the lycanthropes to the west, allowing them to thrive and upgrade their living spaces. They even opened a specialty shop in the village center where you’ll be able to buy some unique items to help you on your journey.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to Fenrir Glade, I also started importing and updating maps for the Lingrave Wastelands, which will play a role in this upcoming update. Since it’s still mostly barren at this stage (as any proper wasteland would be), I decided not to share screenshots just yet.[/p][p]Lastly, I want to give you a look at the recently introduced character Chryses—I’ve completed her character portraits and you can check them out below![/p][p][/p][p]I’ve got her other expressions available now for all $5+ patrons in the Crimson Veil Discord server’s Hall of the Hunters channel, with a Patreon post coming later this week.[/p][p][/p][p]Join the Crimson Veil Discord: [/p][p]discord.gg/Mqz6WGn95j[/p][p][/p][p]Patreon: [/p][p]https://www.patreon.com/c/MKRUdesign[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this week. Until next time, everyone![/p]

[p]This week, I’ve continued working on a bit of art during my lunch breaks at work—chipping away at things where I can and letting new ideas flow as they come to me. Bit by bit, it’s all starting to come together. One of the new additions you can look forward to in the upcoming update is a brand new enemy: the ghostly Glade Guardian.[/p][p][/p][p]This angry spirit haunts and protects the entrance to a brand new dungeon that players will get to explore—The Lunar Sanctum. Details about the Sanctum are still under wraps for now, but I’ll be revealing more in future updates as we get closer to release.[/p][p]And finally, I wanted to share Sigrun’s new outfit![/p][p][/p][p]Now that she belongs to Mila, she’s taken up the role of a doting maid in the mansion—eager to fulfill her new duties alongside the rest of the staff. She’s especially fond of her new look… and I hope you all like it too![/p][p]I’ve got her other expressions available now for all $5+ patrons in the Crimson Veil Discord server’s Hall of the Hunters channel, with a Patreon post coming later this week.[/p][p]Patreon: [/p][p]https://www.patreon.com/c/MKRUdesign[/p][p]Join the new Crimson Veil Discord: [/p][p]discord.gg/Mqz6WGn95j[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this week.

[p]It’s been a productive week on my end! I’ve been steadily posting completed commissions throughout the week, and as of yesterday, I’ve officially cleared out my queue. With that wrapped up, I was finally able to shift gears and begin sketching for the next story chapter of the vampire route.[/p][p][/p][p]Today, I have two character sketches to share with you. First up is a brand new face: Chryses Sharpe, a high-ranking member of the Knights of Friedrich—just beneath Eliza in the chain of command. [/p][p][/p][p]Calm, collected, and fiercely capable, Chryses uses a Cipher Gauntlet to channel spiritual “soul” energy into devastating concussive blasts, powerful enough to tear through both the undead and the living.[/p][p][/p][p]The second sketch features a familiar character… in a brand new outfit. [/p][p][/p][p]Can you guess who it is? [/p][p]This upcoming update will delve deeper into her backstory, and I hope you’re looking forward to the new layers we’ll get to explore.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this week. Until next time, everyone![/p][p]

First things first—Crimson Veil version 5.6.3 is now live on itch.io and Steam! This update addresses a few minor bugs reported from the last release and also introduces a small but handy addition: an NPC who can take your Serenity item off your hands, since there previously wasn’t a way to remove it from your inventory.

I’m still making my way through the commission queue, but this week I also took some time to further outline the story for the next major update, which will return to the vampire route. The script still needs some refining, but I’ve made enough progress to start sketching out some characters and locking in the scenes I want to include.

All I’ll say for now is that a large portion of the upcoming content will take place in Fenrir Glade... make of that what you will.

That’s all for this week—until next time, everyone!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Just a quick update from me this week. I’m still in the process of wrapping up the remaining commissions, and since we’re getting late into the month, I’ve officially closed commission requests so I can focus on completing the ones currently on my plate.

I’ve also started doing a bit of early work for Chapter 4-V, though it’s still in the very early stages and not quite ready to show off yet. For now, I’ll be continuing to work through the rest of the commissions and posting them here as they’re finished. Once those are all taken care of, I’ll be diving fully into Chapter 4 development at the start of June.

In the meantime, I do have one finished animated commission to share—a fun one featuring Bianca in a rather revealing sweater. I’m sure she’d chalk it up to her “new vampiric urges,” of course. 😏



Full version and gif will be shared in a separate post and on the official Crimson Veil Discord!
