So, kind of unrelated to Crimson Veil, I’m currently playing through Dragon Quest XI S on my Switch. Absolutely FANTASTIC game. I have a big grin on my face each time I play it. The game is just so charming and fun. Some of my design philosophy when creating maps and NPCs in CV is inspired by the older DQ games I’ve played in the past. However, I have just reached a point in the game that i...
2019-10-21 02:37:51 +0000 UTC View PostHow is everyone doing? I was checking the poll I recently posted, regarding the inclusion of commissioned enemy encounters by the community, and the vast majority of voters seem to be in favor of it being added! I’ll see if I can squeeze in one slot for this update. No promises though! :)
Ive spent a good portion of the week coloring and editing some of the sketches I worked on last wee...
2019-10-20 05:14:01 +0000 UTC View PostI just got an idea in my head and I thought I would ask if there would be anyone interested in this idea.
I'm thinking about in future updates (Not 2.3 as my art schedule is already full) adding in a slot or two for enemy design commissions to be added into the game. So the way it would work is, I would open up slot(s) for anyone to design a single enemy. You can co...
2019-10-18 07:13:19 +0000 UTC View PostI just got my new phone in! The camera is great! Here’s a better look at the Vampire Maid I posted on Sunday! You can actually see it now! Lol
How has everyone been enjoying 2.2 so far? I haven’t received much feedback on major issues, so I assume everything has been running smoothly.
October has treated me well so far. Something about this month just gives me the drive to be productive at drawing. Ive gotten 9 sketches done in the past 3 nights! Getting sketches done always puts me in a good mood....

As mentioned in the last update, this is the same version that was released early for my patrons with some bug fixes and an update to a previous illustration. As in the last upload, save data is included to quickly get you to the parts you want to play the most, without having to start all over.

2019-09-25 15:28:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe release of 2.2 is SUPER CLOSE!! The last piece of art is currently in the final stages of completion. I'm working on it as I am writing this and it is coming out great! I can't wait to hear what you all think! Game wise, writing and event scripting for the last quest is nearly done. I need to do a few run-throughs of the quest to see how it flows and make sure that there is...
2019-09-22 05:04:42 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I was pretty close finishing the Blood Temple quest line, but it turned out there was quite a bit more I wanted to add in to make it feel complete. When writing scenes for two of the characters, I felt like I didn't create enough expressions for them and the scene felt awkward when play testing through it. It felt like having a conversation with someone and all they do is stare ...
2019-09-15 06:02:23 +0000 UTC View PostBlood Temple questline is now at about 80% completed! The quest flow works as it should and the last things that need to be worked on are: Bad Endings dialogue, Bad Ending art, and adjusting the difficulty of the battles. This whole area, including the expanded area of
The Rotten Grove, is the greatest bulk of dev time for this update. The last part that needs to be worked on is the...
2019-09-08 05:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Nosferatu quest is now done! Although to say it's a "Nosferatu quest" is a bit misleading... I have decided to make the Nosferatu a new enemy type that can be encountered. Within the expanded Rotten Grove area, several Nosferatu enemies can found and defeated for gold as well as Vampire Dust. Nosferatu are resilient enemies and whip attacks do little to hurt them. "Piercing" attacks h...

I’m editing up the scene itself to better fit that illustration, so theres something to look forward to if you decide to boot up 2.2 from the beginning.
I’ve also got a new character to show you all!

2019-08-24 05:13:53 +0000 UTC View PostI'm working on some new vampire expressions for Mila. They're just her human expressions with a vampire coat of paint, but some of these results are just too cute that I felt the need to share.

This week, my focus was on building the new areas you will be exploring in 2.2. The primary area of expansion is The Rotten Grove, the forest in the eastern overworld. Before, it was a relatively small patch of woods that you could explore as part of a quest. Now, the forest has been largely expanded. The forest maze, one of the new sections of the forest, is the largest area in the game ...
2019-08-18 06:53:41 +0000 UTC View PostDevelopment is rolling on smoothly. I've finished 2 more pieces of art for the next update but I'll only show a quick teaser for now.
What could be going on in this pic...? It's probably nothing good. Guess you'll just have to wait and see for now!
2019-08-11 08:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostRelated to my 8/4/19 update, I asked the community if I should add in an area that has enemies that are much higher level than what is expected of a player at this point. The catch is that you would still be able to experience the various bad endings associated with being defeated by these enemies. So, should I add this once the players are ready to take on this challenge or should I st...
2019-08-04 07:54:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe ground work for the next update has been laid out and I have started expanding the map for the Rotten Grove. I haven't yet decided at what level this new expanded area will be accessible yet. Three quests in the next update will take place in this new location, so I have my work cut out for me to make this new area feel significant. I did begin working on some new art today, but I had a bit...

Been a pretty crazy week for me with lots of stuff to do. I've had a lot of life commitments I had to get done this week, which hasn't given me much time to work on the game. I've been think a lot about this upcoming user submitted contest that will be posted shortly. I've been planning in my head scenarios of how I would handle the art and the quests themselves. I think the bunch we have this ...
