Crimson Veil News

Hello again everybody! I hope you all have enjoyed the fresh new content of the latest update to the vampire route! I think I've mentioned this before on a previous weekly update, but my favorite part of the recent version was working on the new Pet system. Having an ally by your side in combat feels less lonely and more like you are properly utilizing your servants. But the aspect I enjoyed the most was building their personalities through the support conversations. Were there any girls that stood out to you in particular? I'm currently hosting a popularity contest to see which girl the community enjoyed most. You can find a link to the strawpoll contest below!

Pick your favorite girl!

I think I know who most players enjoyed, but I would love to be proven wrong!

Onto the news on what's next for Crimson Veil! I've been drafting some ideas for the next story chapter, but first I would like to further expand on the side content.

Firstly, I will be updating both Ophelia and Bianca's Pet content. You will be able to increase their bond level to a maximum of 6, and eventually have them as a playable partner! Additionally, Ophelia will be getting a much needed refresh to her expressions, as shown here:



That first frame may look the same as an expression already in the game, but it has been updated! See the difference for yourself:



I'll be incorporating these new faces to old conversations to give them more visual variety. I also definitely need to update her sprite! Ophelia will be a key character to the vampire route moving forward. After all, she is the sister of Mila's primary target...

The real meat of this next update however, will be another contract to be added to the vampire route! What will this update entail? That's up to you!

It's time for the User Submitted Contest Round #9. Do you have an awesome, sexy idea you'd like to see added to the game? This could be your chance!

I will be selecting 8 of my favorite ideas, and my patrons will be narrowing it down to just 1 to be adapted. If you are interested, Make sure your idea is solid and you follow the rules posted on the link below:

Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you so much on all the recent feedback on version 5.2. I’ve cleaned out each of the bugs players have brought to my attention. I know that many of you have mentioned having difficulties on one of the puzzles during the Terror of the Seas quest, so I’ve modified it slightly to be a bit less cryptic. My hope is less players will find themselves stuck. But, if you're still stuck, I will be releasing the updated walkthrough next Sunday with all the answers and tips you'll need!

Additionally, I’ve introduced another quality of life change in 5.2.1. At the end of Chapter V-1, Claudia will now give Mila the Enhanced Q.T.W!



While playing through the campaign recently, I realized how redundant the standard statues are for travel, especially with the Invoke Fog skill. Along with this change, I’ve also added warp points at the Port of Abelleth, Rosenblad Estate, and Noctorna HQ Ruins. Travel will now be way more convenient!



As I’ve stated last week, the public release of version 5.2.1 on Steam and Itch.io will be next week. If you are interested in becoming an NPC in time for this update, please become a tier 4 patron by Wednesday, 6/21.

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