Aeriseth Bad Ending (Vampire Route)
It’s been a busy week for me! Despite it being spring break and having a week off, I’ve certainly kept myself occupied! After finishing a checklist of errands that I had to do around the house, I was able to focus on just game development from Wednesday onward, which was nice.
I finished up all the art that was pending, including this new illustration for Aeriseth’s Bad Ending.

Another big task off the To-Do list this week! The previously mentioned Slime Queen quest has now been fully implemented into the game! Going into this update, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with the new slimegirl content, aside from just really wanting to include it. I mostly had loose ideas and a character design to go with. This week I sat down to think about how I could differentiate this quest from the ongoing slime quest of the main route!
This quest is slight...
2024-03-25 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHow are you all this fine Sunday? This week, I suffered from one of the worst stomach bugs I’ve had in a decade. I was completely out of commission on Wednesday and Thursday. Could it have been something I caught while I was out the previous weekend? Possible, but I didn’t feel like heading to the hospital to find out! (waaaay too expensive!) I’m fine now, so no worries there!
Just yesterday, I finally finished up the Chapter 3-V scenario, Casino Quest, and the qu...

I have gotten a lot of ideas from playing with Skyrim mods over the years. Here is a set I created a while back that I made for myself. But, I figured that some of you may enjoy it.

It's now been 5 years since I first posted version 1.0. Over half a decade spent working on this project, and in that time, I've managed to build something bigger and better than I ever imagined I could. The main route is content complete with a second route well on it's way. It's thanks to all of my supporters that I have had the drive to post to consistently and make development on this a routine.
This is an illustration I made to not only commemorate the occasion, but a...
2024-03-04 17:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostHow’s everyone doing? This week I peered through my list of highest-tiered patrons and crafted the NPCs of everyone I hadn’t gotten around to yet. If you became a tier 4 patron between the release of the last update and this one, your NPC can be found somewhere within the new area of Fallholt! I also finished the last scene that takes place in this update’s dungeon, So I just have one more scene to go for the story and then tweak a few other side quest scenes.
Still working on scripting events, but I’m now able to play up to the dungeon of the update itself! Just a few more scenes to go! A friend of mine told me that he was recently replaying the game on Steam and suggested something that I’ve decided to implement into the game. For certain puzzles that are a bit esoteric, I’ve highlighted keywords to make the clues more obvious. This can be seen in the very first dungeon, the Cliffside Library. The clues that give you the co...
2024-02-26 01:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I continued working on scripting events. I feel like this update might turn off some players with how much exposition there is compared to the sexy stuff. Not that it isn’t there, just that it’s mostly relegated to exploration and side content. There’s lots of lore that I want to dump and I’m trying to keep the pacing at a good level to accommodate for players who are impatient or don’t like to read (like me!)

With the majority of new locations now constructed and fleshed out, this week I began scripting events for the scenes of the game. I can now make it to Fallholt without having to warp there with dev tools! While creating these events, one scene I decided to change from the script was Dorian’s backstory. This scene was originally just a conversation between him and Mila, but I decided to make it something more visually interesting.

Apologies for last week. Apparently a Windows update caused my computer to act unusually and I couldn’t get any work done. When I had my friend look at it, the problem was fixed, but then my old Wacom tablet decided it didn’t want to work! At that point the only solution I had was to run to the store and just buy a new one. A rough blow, but one I was able to quickly resolve thanks to the financial support of my patrons. RIP old tablet…
Onto the game news. I spent this we...
2024-02-05 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve unfortunately run into some problems with my working computer. No files have been lost or damaged, but the weekly update I had planned for tomorrow is looking like it won’t get done in time. I should have a weekly update for you in time for the following Sunday. I apologize for this delay in the schedule.
2024-01-27 21:42:52 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week comes to an end and just a bit more has been added to Fallholt! Little by little, I’m adding more party character interactions to the world. For example, if a player has Seraphina in their party and interacts with NPCs and certain objects around the Fallholt Cathedral, you’ll get some unique interactions with her! I’m sprinkling these little optional dialogues for players to discover and to hopefully encourage changing their party up every so often. In some cases, y...
2024-01-22 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy everyone! To everyone else who had to return to work this week, I hope the transition back was smooth. Mine was okay, though I still wish I could sleep in until 10.
I decided to go back and edit the intro of chapter 3-V as I felt that the transition from the last chapter was rather weak. I also added an additional mandatory scene with Dorian before you are allowed to rest in the coffin to proceed. As it stands, he has very few worthwhile lines in the story, simila...
2024-01-15 01:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostToday’s my last official vacation day and it’s time to return to the daily grind of my day job tomorrow. Pretty satisfied with it overall. I got a good balance of work done on Crimson Veil as well as time with my friends/family and a few games off the old backlog. For this upcoming week, I need to start focusing on scripting more scenes since I’ve only really got the first one down pat. My game dev time has been mainly dedicated to art. In a sense, this is great because I get so many ch...
2024-01-08 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWe’ve reached the end of another year. This year has been one I have fully dedicated to working on the vampire route and not much will be changing in 2024, at least as far as the game is concerned. I’ve begun putting in place some of the early cutscenes for the new update. This includes the reveal of the latest threat, Sigrun Hellige.

Sigrun is an Estelle. They are...

I hope all who celebrate have a peaceful day. I’ll be spending it playing board games with family!
2023-12-25 16:38:57 +0000 UTC View PostHappy early Christmas to anyone who celebrates! It seems like time flies faster and faster with each passing year. In fact it was nearly a year ago today that Crimson Veil made it’s Steam debut. I remember that made for an extra stressful holiday gathering, as I had to make sure everything was ready to post by 8, you know, near dinner time… That’s why I’ve gone ahead and prepared this update ahead of time!
I don’t know how the weather has been where you live, but here at home,...
2023-12-25 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening, everyone. This week I was feeling especially low on energy. Must be the time of the year. After a few years, I decided it was time for me to return to the gym and get back into shape! The first two days really took a toll on me and I felt the need to fall asleep extra early to recover. But thanks to the additional exercise, I was waking up with better rest and a clearer mind. Which is important as it had been rather hard to focus.
This week I sketched out ano...
