Would love to but i didn't start the vampire route yet. I am more of a fan of Hunter Mila.

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since my last update, so I wanted to check in and share what I’ve been up to lately.

As some of you may have seen, I opened a few commission slots last week. Since then, I’ve finished coloring a couple of personal illustrations that I had been meaning to complete, and I’ve started working on the sketches for the commissions I received. I’ll be sending those out as soon as they’re ready.

A few slots are still available, but once they’re filled, I won’t be reopening commissions for a while as I shift back to development on Crimson Veil.

You can find all the commission info below. If you’re interested, send me a direct message or email to crimsonveilgame@gmail.com



In other news, I’ve also put together a Crimson Veil sticker bundle now available on my new Etsy shop! These cute, glossy stickers are limited in quantity and will only be available while supplies last. Check them out here:





As for the game, I plan to resume full development on Crimson Veil in June once I’ve wrapped up all pending commissions. Before then, I’m planning to release version 5.6.3, which addresses even more bug that were reported—huge thanks to everyone in the Discord for helping catch those!

If you haven’t joined the Discord server yet, you can do so here:



Lastly, I want to mention that I have posted a new Player Satisfaction Survey for the latest game update. If you have a few moments, please fill this out as the data is invaluable for upping the quality of the game:



That’s all for now—thank you all for your continued support. Until next time!

I was surprised by how long this game is. It took me 23 hours to finish the vampire hunter route on Standard difficulty. There is a lot of content.
Exploration is neat. I like the HP regen while walking, that enemies don't respawn right away, that you get plenty item rewards for exploring, that keys are discarded once you have found all the doors they're relevant for, that you can fast travel. Rewards and shop prices are well balanced too. Combat is fun once you have unlocked enough skills to be able to strategize around buffs, weaknesses and resources. The more difficult endgame fights are great. The story and humor are fine too. I liked Faahlda most out of all the characters.

However I didn't like all the little things that waste time. That you have to do backtracking with fast travel only as a one-way-ticket back to base in the early game and that many locations only have 1 fast travel point. That it is sometimes hard to see the intended progression path, yet you only get a map for the final dungeon. That there are important items that you can miss (like the Skeleton Lexicon). Frequent points of no return. That tourniquets are useless, since enemies just re-apply bleed all the time. That the game gets stuck if an enemy catches you while you open a door. That Nosferatu enemies can stunlock you for 3+ turns in a row with Screech. That you can't skip dialogue scenes properly, so you often have to wait 1-2 minutes before you can do another attempt at a boss fight (like in the Lingrave Clinic). That you can't skip through Bianca's 10 minute long flashback sidequest if you just want it gone from the quest log.
I disliked many of the character artworks in this, the proportions just don't look right. There are exceptions, for example the portrait art of Factory of Agony Bridgette is pretty good, but even that one didn't turn me on.

To summarize: to me this is another case of "a decent game disguised as smut, which you don't actually play for the smut."

Very fair and thought-out critique.

Just a quick update for you all this week!

I’ve been continuing work on commissions, and as of writing this, I have one slot still available. If you’re interested in commissioning me, please be sure to reach out soon—once it’s filled, I’ll be closing commissions for a while.

Also, there are still a few Crimson Veil sticker bundles available on my Etsy shop! If you haven’t grabbed one yet, now’s a great time to check them out:





That’s all for this week. Thanks as always for your support, and until next time!

If Ashe is Mila's Half-Sister does that mean Mila's Grand Mother or rather Great Grandmother was a Vampire?. Did Ashe know Mila was her Sister when she first meets her and kept it secret?. What happened to Ashe if at some point Mila gets turned by Dorian at the last available time she can go to Dorian's mansion Starting the Vampire Route and goes into a 100 year slumber. Did Ashe just leave not knowing what happened to Mila. Will Mila become more powerful than all other Vampires on the Vampire route at some point given her connection to Ashe's Mother. By the By the portrait of Dorian's Ex is too striking a similarity to Mila, is it just coincidence or is there something more to it?

I haven't played the Vampire route so can't comment on that.

It’s all explained in the game, but if you want a more detailed discussion of it, maybe try posting in the spoilers section of the game’s discord:

What a Super cool Vampire Game, I really like the Vampire Route, but prefer getting to it through the Hunter Route to the last possible opportunity to go to Dorian's Mansion, When Ashe rushes into Noctorna and Faahlda warns Mila turn make sure she is done with any contracts or side quests. It does leave open some questions though. What happened to Ashe after 100 years, Did she stop Amber in time and just left,leaving Amber even more broken and that is why she ended up into a Ghoul and not taken over by Alexandria. What happened to Alexandria, Is she Still in the Orbs somewhere. Will Mila become the most powerful Vampire at some point, that would be super cool,given her blood was special to begin with and is now an Ancient Vampire. Sad the game is coming to an end, But All Good Things & all that. Still hope there is more to the Vampire Route.

Game is still in development and I’ve still got a few more stories to tell. Nothing to worry about :)

Awesome, Loving the Entire Story Arc, But really enjoy being the Big Bad Vampire, who I hope becomes as Awesome and powerful as Alexandria. Create a Vampire Army "evil smirk", Find out what happened to Ashe. Since I started the Vamp Route the last possible moment, Ashe rushed into Noctorna. So 100 years later and Captain Samantha left her mark on the world with the Knights of Freidrich, Noctorna rebranded and HQ Moved elsewhere. Did Ashe stop Amber in time, but the fact Mila never came back from Dorian's mansion Amber still fell into despair and a Ghoul got her instead of Alexandria,While Ashe just left after making sure Amber was no longer a threat. Juicy Speculation

Happy Sunday, everyone! Just a quick update from me this week. I’m still in the process of wrapping up the remaining commissions, and since we’re getting late into the month, I’ve officially closed commission requests so I can focus on completing the ones currently on my plate.

I’ve also started doing a bit of early work for Chapter 4-V, though it’s still in the very early stages and not quite ready to show off yet. For now, I’ll be continuing to work through the rest of the commissions and posting them here as they’re finished. Once those are all taken care of, I’ll be diving fully into Chapter 4 development at the start of June.

In the meantime, I do have one finished animated commission to share—a fun one featuring Bianca in a rather revealing sweater. I’m sure she’d chalk it up to her “new vampiric urges,” of course.



Full version and gif will be shared in a separate post and on the official Crimson Veil Discord!



Until next time everyone!

Ahhh! makes sense, That is what happened to her. Will it be possible to kill Maye at some point?.
