Evening, everyone! Thank you so much for the feedback you provided last week with Dorian’s new design. I went back and adjusted his pose and I think I struck a good balance between the old pose and the new one.
I’m going to have to adjust his sprite too since it still reflects his old design. I’ll get on that shortly…
This week I mainly focused on the desi...

One of the characters I’ve felt disappointed by design-wise for a long time is Dorian. I don’t consider myself very good at drawing male characters, so I rarely draw them. However, after drawing Alvin for the last update, I decided it was time that Dorian got a refresh to his design. Check out the comparison below!

As for me, I was really in the mood to color Sigrun this week and tweak some small things in her design, such as her face. Her eyes were previously too big, and while I found them kind of cute, it didn’t really fit the personality I was going for.
She won’t be showing up in the game until the following update, but I still wa...

This week, my focus was on Ophelia! She’s finally got a spiffy new sprite!
Modifying Ophelia as an event was a tricky thing from me to sort out. I’ve had to change how she works as an NPC to get her to work with the new Pet system that I added in the last update. For starters, Ophelia will be able to join you as a playable character as early as...

I’m back home after the recent pest extermination in my house and after all the cleaning was done, I was happy to be back in the grind of things. Here’s what I have to show you all this week!
In case you missed the announcement earlier, the game has been updated to version 5.2.2. You can download it now on Steam and Itch.io. This patch fixed the Dorian Manor Gemmare statue bug that was present in the game. You can freely ...
2023-07-31 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe update is now live on Steam and Itch.io! This patch fixes the bug where the Gemmare statue at Dorian Manor teleported you to the vampire route, while you were in the main route. Save files should be unaffected by this change, as no major scripts or events were altered. Please update your game as soon as you are able.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
This week has been all sorts of complicated. We need to fumigate the house due to a pest issue and my home is currently upside down. It’s been a mission for me to find the time to sit down and rest, let alone draw. Thankfully this should all be resolved by Wednesday. Then I have to do all the cleanup that comes with these sort of house treatments. Not looking forward to that…
However, I did manage to finish something before this update went live!
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Title: Shattered Sanctity
By: Potomiani
Mila receives a report that vampires have recently been able to get near and even enter Besilly Cathedral. Though they are still held off by the clergy men and women inside, being able to enter a sacred building without harm is both odd and mysterious. It seems that over time, the building’s protection from ...

Got a few sketches done this week. This first one is for a character that will not be appearing in the upcoming update, but is planned for the Chapter 3-V update instead. Here's an early look at Sigrun:
Little is known about her, except that her race is one that resists vampirism. She's a sort of "anti-vampire", if you wil...
2023-07-10 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello 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...

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...
