The entire scenario for 5.0 is now complete and early builds will be sent out to my testers this week!
If you are interested in being added in as an NPC for this upcoming version, please be sure you are subscribed as a tier 4 patron by Wednesday at the latest. After then, I can't guarantee you a spot in the game until the public release, two weeks later.
Tweaking the difficulty is really the only thing I need to do aside from fixing any potential ...

All of the art is now finalized! That brings the Picture Gallery total up to 111! That means that this update is adding an additional 11 new images. Additionally, I've also gone and redrawn the art for the ghoul's bad ending, bringing the new art made to 12, a higher than average number for an update! Check out a sneak peek here:
All 3 versions of this redraw are ...

With more furnishing of areas and more event scripting, the update is getting closer to completion. I have one more major area to fully event script and a few other miscellaneous events that need some touching up. There's also one battle that's been frustrating to script properly, as the mechanics of it are just not panning out right. I'm going to keep at though...
As for another new area I'd like to show you, here is a new shop that will become available late into the update:

Happy Easter! Enjoy your chocolate eggs!
Anyway, so remember when I mentioned back in March that this first half of the update isn't very dialogue heavy?
This week I finished writing probably one of the largest exposition dumps in the game. There's a few juicy revelations revealed and I cannot wait to share them with you all! That being said, I've just about finished all of the wr...

Bit by bit, this chapter is coming together! I scripted some more scenes this week, one of which I think will make the community discuss how they handled it! I'm curious to hear how you will handle it once you get there. I'm being vague, but I don't want to reveal all my cards too early!
Anyway, unrelated, but here's a screenshot of a mechanic that will be introduced in this chapter:

I've got an update for you all today and unfortunately it's slightly disappointing news. I've decided that I'm going to push this update's release back a bit. There's still a good amount of art and writing that I need to finish and with my current schedule it's not feasible to complete it by the end of the month without rushing it. I also wanted to make sure there was additional art for both the Wight and Fuyukiba's bite scene. I considered cutting it to meet...

It's been a productive week for me! This spring break was really great for having some quality dev time! I had time to really sit down and polish up some scenes as well as script together probably the longest scene of the update. Definitely took a couple of passes in testing to get right, but that's one less thing that I need to do!
I've also gone back and rebalanced a few skills slightly...

Another week done and I'm finally on Spring Break! I'm glad my new job provides these breaks because I could definitely use some spaced out time dedicated to working on the game. Yesterday was a productive day, but let me tell you, it is TOUGH thinking of what to show you all in these updates without spoiling too much! But, I feel like I've said that like, a hundred times at this point (I will say it again in the future, guaranteed). Let's get into what I can show you today!

I returned from my out of state vacation on Thursday, so there wasn't much I was able to accomplish this week. In my off-time, I've been able to draft more scene dialogue, which helps tremendously when I'm actually scripting the event in RPG Maker. Drawing and working in RPG Maker aren't exactly things I can do at my job anymore, so writing drafts of scenes is the most productive I can be while on my off hours at my day job.
This week I was able to script the entire intro ev...

Where does the time go? It really feels like I just started working on this project a relatively short while ago, but here we are! I'm nearing the end of my game's original vision and the game is bigger and better than I could have ever hoped. I personally am also in a much better place thanks to the help from all of you. With your financial assistance, I managed to leave the old dead-end job I was at when I first began working on this game. and finally reached my current, more permanent job!...

A quick look at some of the behind the scenes facts of Crimson Veil! It is assumed that you have completed the game's story content to it's most recent version. If you have not played through to the end of chapter 4, consider this your spoiler warning!

Trying to get an idea of where my audience currently sits. I appreciate the help.
Though only 3 platforms are currently supported, I am aware that some have found ways to play the game on other devices, so that’s what the Other option is for.
Please select all answers that apply for you.

This week I began working a bit on enemy encounters. Dorian's boss fight has been a tricky one to manage. I want him to be difficult, but I also want to minimize any kind of major RNG shenanigans that can become frustrating in a drawn out fight. Some other bosses will also have new attacks with magical elements that haven't been included up until now. I got some inspiration from recently replaying the original Final Fantasy on GBA. Despite how simple it is, I find it very refreshing how strai...

Slow and steady progress this week. I'm working on a fun little sketch for the upcoming anniversary, but aside from that no new sketches this week. I created some new sprites for enemies and mapped out part of a new area, the Tundra Tower.
The tower lies to the east of Fallholt and is usually inaccessible due to the harsh weather in the area. While the tower is ages old, it ge...

Crimson Veil's 3rd year anniversary is coming up next month, so this week I drafted some notes on what to do to celebrate. For any of you who are interested in behind the scenes content for the game, I think you'll have something neat to look forward to. This fun, little behind the scenes bonus will be exclusive to my supporters on Patreon.

For the first design, we have a Fuyukiba. These exotic vampires conceal themselves within snow storms and lure their prey with their fetching attire. They wrap their victims comfortably within their soft, woven robes bef...
