Thanks for the game. Looking forward to your updates. Have to say, the final scene of chapter ticked off almost all my kinks when I play such games and was searching for one such game (the other being Succubus Covenant by Zion Olympus, do check him out). The kink being, a female character gaining access to godlike demonic or vampiric powers while also becoming sexier, enjoying it and not being just a horny slut. Only kink remaining when such a scene happens is some BE and Hourglass expansion/beautification to make her even more sexier, lol. On another note, from a narrative standpoint, I somehow feel Amber shouldn't be able to do what she did when we side with Ashe in the final scene given the vast power difference that we are talking about.
Anyway, thanks for the amazing game, waiting for your future updates!
Also on yet another note, this reminds me to some extent the origin story of Dracula from Castlevania.
Technically yes, but it still leads to a game over. The only H scene that continues after is the scene that leads into the vampire route, but that still requires losing a battle so… yeah lol. Not sure if that was the answer you were looking for.
This must be a masterpiece i ever played. I think the characterization in your game is much better than even most 3A game. Every character makes me feel so alive and realistic, make me feel that they all are real characters in lives, not we imagine them in the game. And your images are also excellent, quite proper and appropriate for characters' manner, expression, temper and 'demeanor' hah. That is awesome, that is awesome, that is AWESOME!!! I used a lot of day to play thought the vampire hunter route. I must complain that a lot of mazes is quite difficult for me, i just gonna to experience the plot, and enjoy the beauty sexy vampire, that is quite difficult for me hah. However, most important is that i am not quite satisfied with the fate of the sister 'Amber'. Firstly, i play through vampire route, when i found her, to be honest, my heart has been broken, especially she said 'Mila........', she does not deserve it! She-Hamlet? No, please, deal with the conflict i hope in future plot, but! when i played through the vampire hunter route, i just want to fuck this bitch brain out. Why! I do this for your and us and you just finish me a knife? I do not deserve this!!! There are a quite obvious persona or character conflict of the 'Amber' between two routes. I cannot image one person sacrifice herself to rescue her sister but choose to be a fucking sexy, lewd, vampiric tyrant, unless there are more plots to illustrate or deal with this conflict. I think that the memories of the 'Mila' in her childhood is quite strange, i feel like that you try to use this to illustrate her sister, 'Amber' choice in the Chapter IV, seems that there are more plots between 'Mila' and 'Amber', thingshavenotasobviousas it may seemsimple. Hope for more content! You work is quite extraordinary! Cannot wait to see you how to handle this 'mess'. Things are starting to get interesting, your work make feel a little like when i was reading 'Beowulf' or 'Odyssey', quite a fantastic EPIC style, especially when Amber choosed to become the vampire queen!
I have this one idea contract/story event but it ends pretty much as a joke. The set-up is that vampire cultists are trying to resurrect a super-powerful vampire from her coffin. This vampire was said to be a tyrant and is on par, or if not, more powerful than Alexandria herself. And despite her best efforts, Mila got captured and is going to be sacrificed as a meal for said vampire. But when she is finally revived, not only is she much more informal and laid-back than the cultists expect, the first thing she does is hit on Mila. Turns out, after centuries in her coffin with nothing but her thoughts, she comes to realize "being evil sucks" and wants to reform (though she does want a lesbian harem).
After that, the scene could end in a number of ways (aside from the "bad ending", of course). The vampire kills the cultists herself or she frees Mila and has her do it. Mila could fight the vampire, but I guess that's an optional thing since very non-violent otherwise. And after that... ¯\_(--)_/¯. Like, maybe she could be an NPC that you could find. This is mostly a joke that I didn't too hard on the consequences afterward.
I've completed crimson veil 4.1.2 and I want to say thank you. I've played all the quests from the main story and the vampire story, plus all the side quests and contracts. Crimson veil is one of the best vampire games ever and also has a great and exciting story I can't wait for chapter 5 it's so exciting. And the vampire story is great too. Ashe is my favorite vampire and I also find the relationship between her and Mila very interesting.
Your words mean the world to me! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed what you’ve played so far and are looking forward to the future! I will do my best to meet those expectations!
potential spoiler question for Chapter 5. Will a castle, or at least a dungeon/lair-like area, appear floating above or near Nocturna? Considering what happened at the end of chapter 4, I just feel like the "new villain" would want to set up their base-of-operations right by Nocturna.
This is a really good RPG maker game with fun combat and a great story. I cant wait to continue following the updates and see where this game goes. My only request is that we see some more of Bianca in the hunter route as she easily one of the best characters and I guess I just want to see her have some sort of good ending...
Are you playing on Android? It’s going to be tough to detect what error you have. Idk, maybe reset your phone and delete the game from your cache? I don’t have an Android device myself, so Im no expert on the subject.
There is no installation required for the game. It’s playable directly through the .exe file. If you are talking about unzipping the file, I suggest finding some other software that can unzip the compressed file for you.
I deleted all the failed files and the walkthrough, tried a clean install, still fails halfway through installation with the error I posted above. I've sent it to the itch.io team 3 times now.
Hey, it's me. I'm back again. I got a small suggestion/request regarding the battle UI.
Back when I last fought Dorian, I grew annoyed about constantly going up and down the skill list for the skills I want. I was constantly using Brave Soul, Holy Purify, my Lv 3 Weapon Attacks, and the occasional Magna Flash. I'm fine with Holy Purify and the Weapon Attacks, but I found it annoying how I constantly have to go back up to use Brave Soul.
I have two suggestions. You could either move the previous light skills (Brave Soul, Compassionate Soul, and Purify) down at the bottom with the others. Or you could separate all the Light Skills into a separate menu, similar to how you split "Skill" and "Sorcery" while playing as a vampire.
Yeah, this was something I had been thinking about too. The skills menu is pretty messy because RPG maker defaults the order of the skills to the order that they are placed in the data base. There’s no easy way (that I know of) to reorganize skills by type. No promises, but I’ll look into seeing if it’s something that I can tweak without it becoming too much of a headache.
i cant wait to see more of the vampire route. do you recon you are going to do some more of it soon or are you going to continue the human path. in either case im really enjoying both. good job XD
That error happens because a maptile image in missing from your game folder. The file should be in there when you download the game normally. Are you using a save created from an earlier version of the game?
I've come to a time travel glitch while doing the vampire route. was this reported? if not, here's steps to replicate it.
Humilem Village: upon entering the maze and following the road you go N, W, N to the bee hive area (where honey barrels are located). enter the small cave then exit, go back from whence you came and the road to Humilem is gone. Once you leave the maze and back into the world map you are back in the past before becoming a vampire, except you don't get to keep your old inventory items before turning. You do however keep the visual vampire sprite but every action and every enemy is as if you were a human. You are also "allowed" to visit all the places before becoming a vampire as well.
the only 2 in-game fixes I have noticed was to re-enter Lord Dorian's castle(self fixes every time). And a small chance that upon exiting to the world map from the maze, is to re-enter and pray the sign board isn't wood but stone.
Developer question: If given the opportunity to market Crimson Veil to a more general audience, but you have to pull back on the more explicit content, would you do it?
Personal opinion: I won't say it would be an indie hit, but I think it has the potential to be a cult classic.
I had thought about this actually, though it would take a lot of work and the game would lose much of it’s appeal. I plan to eventually release it on steam and see how it does there. Maybe if there is a demand for it I could make a modified version.
Last night, I was thinking of the flashback during Jessica's flashback during her contract mission. Not exactly strange, but I thought it was weird that Jessica bit Ashe after she killed her POS boyfriend/vampire master. But after having done a full playthrough of the (current) game, I think I made a discovery.
After defeating Charlotte and rescuing the queen, Ashe gave Anja her blood after bargaining for the dark orb. I always thought she was just re-energizing/healing the princess after knocking her out. But then I remember Bianca and how she tried to drink Ashe's blood during her backstory. I always thought it was weird that remembering her grandmother was the trick to snap her out of a vampire mindset. But combined with the other clues, I realize that it's something else.
For the longest, I thought to make a vampire docile, you just have to kill the vampire that turned them. But now I think that's the extra step you need to make to stop them from going back to being evil. The real trick is Ashe's blood and somehow drinking causes the vampire to (mentally) return back to how they were as a human.
I strongly believe this theory now and I think you (MKRU) were foreshadowing this from the start. We probably will receive an explanation in chapter 5, I would like to know if the power can be given to anybody else or something unique to Ashe. I also wonder if it would work on a vampire if they willfully chose to be a vampire (probably not or just a tiny amount).
For vampire, there are two ways. First is submitting to the chapter 2 boss when given the option. Second is losing to the ancient vampire boss, which you fight by accepting the quest from the old man with glasses. There isn’t really much succubus gameplay, its mainly an extended bad ending, but you can see it by losing to the boss in the casino.
Once again, Dorian was defeated, despite the odds or the god's wishes. I decided to face him after getting everything that I could in the game and get my HR/Level as far as I can go.
In the end, my results were:
HR: 31 HP: 3945 SP: 1105 ATK: 286 DEF: 221 M.ATK: 82 M.DEF: 127 AGI: 162 LUCK: 163 HIT: 100% EVASION: 1 (Even though his bite only landed every 10th time)
Equipment
Weapon: Wicked Child
Armor: Deep Bloody Plate (+Diamond & Diamond Shard)
The idea isn’t to make the fight longer. It’s to make it challenging. He won’t have an absurd stat line, but he will have more varied moves that will keep you on your toes. You’re not meant to beat him right now, so that fact you were able to do so in spite of that is impressive.
Seriously...? -_- That some absurd HP, what is he trying to be? A LoC (Labyrinth of Chaos) superboss from MGQ Paradox? Sheesh... DX Guess i'll wait until I can get some better stats/equips against this "Bonus Boss" of a foe before tackling him, at least he's not Emerald Weapon at least, though his stupid double-action is still unfair, wish Mila could gain double-action too to compensate. (And before you guys even start, yes, it IS possible to have a party member have double action, just look at the GIGANTIC library of classes in MGQ Paradox and you'll see what I mean. Hell, you can even have a temporary status of a reusable TRIPLE ACTION status for a few of your party members in MGQP, no bullshit:
[taken from the replacement for the original MGQ wiki page here https://mgq.miraheze.org/wiki/Paradox/Advanced_Races#Giga_Slime , which was taken down due to the collective takedown of most wikis due to the poor reasoning of removal of potential rule-breaking "Rule 34" content on them, even though there wasn't any real breach of that rule as all those bits were already heavily censored for said MGQ wiki, but you know how asshole execs are])
Yeah, he’s not meant to be beaten in this version. Actually, beating him does nothing anyway in that build. The good news is, his fight is now complete in the upcoming version (5.0). He’s tough, but you get a great reward once you’ve beaten him!
when the time comes can we do a customizable protagonist like naming, skin color, weapon, eye color... you got the idea of what im aiming right? it can be a good extra for when you end either version of the story of mila but happened to meet a specific character of route you chosen,ex: in the vampire hunter it would be the amber with malisphere powers (i played a version in which it ends there but now at the moment of this writing im playing the latest version and yet to make either story of a vampire mistress or a fearsome vampire hunter) i just happened to have this idea not long ago so im sorry if this is a bit confusing.
The game is focused around playing as a specific character, so no, character customization will not be something added to this game in the future. That would have to be an entirely separate project.
Hey MKRU, i've found a bug, let me explain. When you read the story of bianca in the diary and once u get vampire power, u can transform into bat but the skin of bianca will not change BUT when u have finished the diary it is mila with the skin of the bat and its impossible to go back to the skin of Mila. My english is not perfect and i hope u will understand what i try to explain. as i can see it is not broking my safe or anything in the game. :)
You’ll get this error if you try and use save data created in a previous version. Either use the included save points or start the game with a fresh save.
I met this bug too. Sorry I'm not an English native speaker so I can't exactly understand you explanation.What means a fresh save or included save？I entered 4.1.1version by an old save and created a new save and entered again by the new save. Still met this bug.
The game comes with 4 saves already made that are at several points during the game (updates and info on title screen for full details). You need to use those or start the game from the beginning. If you use a save created in an older version, it will be missing information from the latest version necessary to run properly.
Oh no...... TAT QAQ 55555 I will cry. I just downloaded complete 4.1.1 windows version and found the 4 saves. But they all seem like are at the former chapter. I have already been HR 22 but the highest level of Mila in the 4 saves is 14. Are there any solutions to rescue the saves in older versions? TAT
TAT Oh my coins fight experiences and equipments... So dear producer, my only way to save time and continue to play this game is starting at file 2 level 14?
Sorry. I add those in to save players time in having to start all over. I do have a dev room with cheats and skips available to all my patrons. That should get you closer to what your original save had. As this game is a work in progress, theres not much else I can offer to restore your save.
Just installed the 4.0.1 android version. Seems to be a bug in the options / audio page. After I adjust the volume level I can't back out of the setting
I got Problem about can't back out from setting and can't open menu while I'm in the game too, from 1st I'm not So sure that cuz my Phone or the game bug but since i saw this comment thank to him, maybe it's not my device, So please try to check this Problem. Your game is amazing and i love it So much from PC player ^_^ , Hope we will solve this Problem soon <3.
I’m not sure why that error has occurred for you. I didn’t get an error when testing it. Maybe try placing the game folder in a different window and opening it? That’s worked for me with some older games I’ve had trouble opening.
Hey, I got a (somewhat) small request: Can you give more side quests to main and contract characters. You know, just to have more character interactions and development beyond their initial story. One side quest I remember fondly is helping Bianca to retrieve a missing book. The mission itself is just a simple fetch quest, but I felt good helping out Bianca.
If I were to list the characters that I want to have a side quest, it would be:
[Spoilers Ahead]
-Each member of Nocterna (except for Maye since she already had one about reading diaries).
-Sybille
-The Alraune
-Anja
-Quinn
-And Jessica (what a surprise...)
I know that there is a fair number of characters to give side quests to. I also realize that you'd be working on the final chapter so you might not have a lot of time to work on them. Just... think about it if you had time.
Hey, me again. This time, instead of seeking spoilers, I think I'm gonna ask a more sincere-type question: What was your inspiration and motivation for making Crimson Veil?
The inspiration came to me while listening to music at my old job. It was an overnight position without much human interaction so I got to be alone with my thoughts a lot. Mila had been one of my OCs for years at that point and I came up with a rough story in my head to go along with the OST I was listening to at the time. On a whim I decided to check steam and saw that RPG maker MV was having a super sale and decided I would try making an RPG for the hell of it. The intention was to make a short porn RPG with bad endings inspired by Monster Girl Quest, with only 4 story chapters. After I created a patreon and began to receive financial support from the community, I became inspired to expand it with contracts inspired by fan ideas and now it's become far larger than I ever envisioned. Obviously, the main motivation is my commitment to my patrons, but I'm proud of the game I've made so far and now that I'm so close to finishing my original story, I'm more inspired than ever to see!
I can't say how I'll feel that far down the line, but as of now, I plan on continuing to create content after both stories are complete, at least for a bit.
The song you were listening to wouldn't happen to be "Life After Life", from the Dracula Musical would it? I was listening to it back in October and couldn't help but think your Vampire Route was inspired by it.
Hey, how are you doing? Hope you are doing great. I haven't downloaded the 4.1 version yet and waiting for it to be available for everyone. But even though it would be free at that point, I'm still gonna drop money for it including my idea.
Anyway, there's something I want to ask. What's Jessica's boss fight like? You don't have to be super spoiler-y. I'm just curious if you gave her any unique attacks or strategies? If nothing else, I want to know what's Jessica's and Mila's dialogue when Mila is at half and low health.
I read her boss fight section and how she fights... and that is exactly how I see her fight. Kudos.
I also read "The Rocky Relationship" section and see all the times and places that you meet Jessica. I... don't particularly like how you have to run back to find her during certain and important plot moments. Sort of breaks the tension and the immersion. Then again, I could do that from the start and it would be like my 3rd/4th playthrough of the game.
Finally made an account to just tell you your doing an amazing job :) joined this form back in 2.0 for kinks but kept following and check the weekly updates becouse your doing great on this keep it up and happy new years :)
Just asking this out of curiosity but what would happen if Vampire Mira and Human Mira were to meet up. (Kind of like a bonus end game content where Mira is forced to face her Vampire self in a battle.)
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
I hope you are having a Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas. I really enjoy Crimson Veil, both as a tantalizing "stress reliever" and as a game with an entertaining narrative.
I also ask, humbly, if you could describe one or more new scenes involving Jessica. I understand that I am and will admit that I'm being a bit greedy. It's just that I am eagerly waiting for the next update and play the side questing involving Jessica. I would understand if you want to keep it a secret and don't want to spoil it. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Once again, I hope you are having a Merry Christmas and a Merry Holiday too. Here looking what 2022 has in store for us (and hope for a year that's unarguably good).
The release of the update isn’t far off. I’d prefer to keep the details close to my chest until then. For now, you can have this picture of Jessica to tide you over.
Just wanted to say that I've been following your game for a LOOONG time and I LOVE IT! thanks for all the hard work and keep at it! Looking forward to all the stuff coming next update!
P.S. I know it's alot of extra work, but the idea of having extended bad ends (Like the Viviene one) has to be my favorite so far! Just some feedback.
Extended bad endings are great, I just need to be inspired to make content for them. Maybe I’ll do a poll for which ending can get expanded in the future or something. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
got another round of suggestions, this time it includes a contract, some worldbuilding, and a sidequest. Feel free to include your reply in the document itself, I gave you commenting permission
Is the main story considered complete now? Just finished chapter 4 (hunter route); there was no obvious resolution, but it also seems like it might not be possible to develop the story any further.
While on the subject of chapters, is it possible to have a chapter 0 or a prologue in the future. I don't think chapter 1 does a good enough job to explain the world we're suddenly in. I'd even be happy with an introduction slideshow that said something like: "This world has vampires and monsters running about. Rinaldo was a legendary vampire hunter the killed the vampire queen. He's now deceased and vampire hunting organization is being led by his two daughters."
Where in the middle of waiting for the next update and waiting for new content to be added. And to MKRU; thank you for your hard work but our entertainment isn't more important than your health and I hope for your full recovery.
Anyway, in the past week, I wrote down all my ideas for side quests/contracts into a Google Doc and I've planned to share it with everyone. They're for the next fan idea contest and I don't which is the best one to submit.
This is more or less fanfic and everyone is welcome and takes notes. I'm eager to see criticism and want to know which is the best one. Enjoy:)
Yeah, I know. That's just what I can come up with if I am given the right story to tinker with.
And I think I said in the Doc that some of them were to just test the bounds of what I can get away with. The rules for the last contest said that I can't use story characters, but I am allowed to use Mila. So, why not make a mission where there's a bunch of different Mila?

I'm waiting for an update for this game
You won’t have to wait too much longer! Stay tuned!
Thanks for the game. Looking forward to your updates.

Also on yet another note, this reminds me to some extent the origin story of Dracula from Castlevania.
Thank you for playing! I like how Amber’s new design came out too. I cant wait to show more of her off, without the shadows obscuring her.
The design yes. But I was also talking about the process. You know how the character finds the power and then transforms to the new state.
Jesus man i just finnished the main playthrough after 12 hours. thats more than some AAA games
But did it feel like 12 hours? If it didn’t then I think I did my job lol
IS there a way to get an h sence without dieing
Technically yes, but it still leads to a game over. The only H scene that continues after is the scene that leads into the vampire route, but that still requires losing a battle so… yeah lol. Not sure if that was the answer you were looking for.
I use the extra save slots to reload my favorite game over scenes.
1. Main Playthrough
2. Vampire Playthrough
3. (Left blank to separate the playthroughs' from the Game Overs)
4-30. Game Over Scenes
So I am not sure why it says this is downloadable as a zip file, it's only a rar file for me and i cant open it at all
You should be able unzip it the same way.
This must be a masterpiece i ever played. I think the characterization in your game is much better than even most 3A game. Every character makes me feel so alive and realistic, make me feel that they all are real characters in lives, not we imagine them in the game.

But, indeed, from the Amber's tone to others, she is indeed like a tyrant, that make some sense.
Finally finished Chapter 4. Ouch. Just ouch. Didn't think you'd had any more of THOSE "Bullets" to hit me with, but DAMN did it hurt just the same.
XD
Random idea from a creative mind:
I have this one idea contract/story event but it ends pretty much as a joke. The set-up is that vampire cultists are trying to resurrect a super-powerful vampire from her coffin. This vampire was said to be a tyrant and is on par, or if not, more powerful than Alexandria herself. And despite her best efforts, Mila got captured and is going to be sacrificed as a meal for said vampire. But when she is finally revived, not only is she much more informal and laid-back than the cultists expect, the first thing she does is hit on Mila. Turns out, after centuries in her coffin with nothing but her thoughts, she comes to realize "being evil sucks" and wants to reform (though she does want a lesbian harem).
After that, the scene could end in a number of ways (aside from the "bad ending", of course). The vampire kills the cultists herself or she frees Mila and has her do it. Mila could fight the vampire, but I guess that's an optional thing since very non-violent otherwise. And after that... ¯\_(--)_/¯. Like, maybe she could be an NPC that you could find. This is mostly a joke that I didn't too hard on the consequences afterward.
Your words mean the world to me! I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed what you’ve played so far and are looking forward to the future! I will do my best to meet those expectations!
potential spoiler question for Chapter 5. Will a castle, or at least a dungeon/lair-like area, appear floating above or near Nocturna? Considering what happened at the end of chapter 4, I just feel like the "new villain" would want to set up their base-of-operations right by Nocturna.
Please continue to check back for future updates.
You don't get the pictures from viewing their respective bad endings. You get them by completing contracts and story missions.
With that being said, I did notice 1 picture not appearing even after completing the specific contract. However, I've chalked it up to being a bug.
This is a really good RPG maker game with fun combat and a great story. I cant wait to continue following the updates and see where this game goes. My only request is that we see some more of Bianca in the hunter route as she easily one of the best characters and I guess I just want to see her have some sort of good ending...
Uh I think I updated wrong lol
This error will occur if you use a save created in an older version. Please either use the included saves or start a new game.
having trouble installing 4.1.2 because of !DoorAyene2.png. help please.
what do you mean exactly? Is the file missing? It should be there.
Can't get update to install, it fails at the very end.
I even tried to uninstall 4.0.1 and do a fresh install and it still won't install, gets some type of checksum error during download/installation.
Are you playing on Android? It’s going to be tough to detect what error you have. Idk, maybe reset your phone and delete the game from your cache? I don’t have an Android device myself, so Im no expert on the subject.
There is no installation required for the game. It’s playable directly through the .exe file. If you are talking about unzipping the file, I suggest finding some other software that can unzip the compressed file for you.
I am on a Windows 10 laptop trying to install through the itch.io desktop client. Version 4.0.1 had no issues but I cannot get 4.1 to install at all.
"An error occurred during installation while extracting ... dmc_unrar_extract_file_with_callback: error 44 RAR 5.0 block checksum doesn't match."
I deleted all the failed files and the walkthrough, tried a clean install, still fails halfway through installation with the error I posted above. I've sent it to the itch.io team 3 times now.
Sorry. I have no idea what could be causing this. Maybe try just downloading the zip file from the downloads page instead of through the client.

i cant wait to see more of the vampire route. do you recon you are going to do some more of it soon or are you going to continue the human path. in either case im really enjoying both. good job XD
i plan to return to the vampire route before the end of the year. Im wrapping up the main route now so once thats done, ill continue the vampire one
One of my favorite all time Vampire RPG Maker Games of all time. Honestly would love to see what will happen next update- keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
No problem also can't access the wastelands- keep getting: failed to load img/tilesets/PandaMaru_MV_hills_B_Wasteland.png
That error happens because a maptile image in missing from your game folder. The file should be in there when you download the game normally. Are you using a save created from an earlier version of the game?
Nope I upgraded to the latest version of the game before playing.
Yes, but is the save file that you are using from a previous version? Or did you use the included saves/start a new game?
I've come to a time travel glitch while doing the vampire route. was this reported? if not, here's steps to replicate it.
Humilem Village: upon entering the maze and following the road you go N, W, N to the bee hive area (where honey barrels are located). enter the small cave then exit, go back from whence you came and the road to Humilem is gone. Once you leave the maze and back into the world map you are back in the past before becoming a vampire, except you don't get to keep your old inventory items before turning. You do however keep the visual vampire sprite but every action and every enemy is as if you were a human. You are also "allowed" to visit all the places before becoming a vampire as well.
Nope, this hasn’t been reported yet. Thanks for letting me know!
the only 2 in-game fixes I have noticed was to re-enter Lord Dorian's castle(self fixes every time). And a small chance that upon exiting to the world map from the maze, is to re-enter and pray the sign board isn't wood but stone.
Developer question: If given the opportunity to market Crimson Veil to a more general audience, but you have to pull back on the more explicit content, would you do it?
Personal opinion: I won't say it would be an indie hit, but I think it has the potential to be a cult classic.
I had thought about this actually, though it would take a lot of work and the game would lose much of it’s appeal. I plan to eventually release it on steam and see how it does there. Maybe if there is a demand for it I could make a modified version.
[spoiler topic]
Last night, I was thinking of the flashback during Jessica's flashback during her contract mission. Not exactly strange, but I thought it was weird that Jessica bit Ashe after she killed her POS boyfriend/vampire master. But after having done a full playthrough of the (current) game, I think I made a discovery.
After defeating Charlotte and rescuing the queen, Ashe gave Anja her blood after bargaining for the dark orb. I always thought she was just re-energizing/healing the princess after knocking her out. But then I remember Bianca and how she tried to drink Ashe's blood during her backstory. I always thought it was weird that remembering her grandmother was the trick to snap her out of a vampire mindset. But combined with the other clues, I realize that it's something else.
For the longest, I thought to make a vampire docile, you just have to kill the vampire that turned them. But now I think that's the extra step you need to make to stop them from going back to being evil. The real trick is Ashe's blood and somehow drinking causes the vampire to (mentally) return back to how they were as a human.
I strongly believe this theory now and I think you (MKRU) were foreshadowing this from the start. We probably will receive an explanation in chapter 5, I would like to know if the power can be given to anybody else or something unique to Ashe. I also wonder if it would work on a vampire if they willfully chose to be a vampire (probably not or just a tiny amount).
I thought it was just an ability unique to Ashe or ancient vampires in general.
How do I turn into a vampire without getting a bad ending And how do I Turn to a succubus
For vampire, there are two ways. First is submitting to the chapter 2 boss when given the option. Second is losing to the ancient vampire boss, which you fight by accepting the quest from the old man with glasses. There isn’t really much succubus gameplay, its mainly an extended bad ending, but you can see it by losing to the boss in the casino.
oh thanks I was just dumb and was trying to do it right off the bat And i just was getting the bad endings they were pretty good though
Once again, Dorian was defeated, despite the odds or the god's wishes. I decided to face him after getting everything that I could in the game and get my HR/Level as far as I can go.
In the end, my results were:
HR: 31 HP: 3945 SP: 1105 ATK: 286 DEF: 221 M.ATK: 82 M.DEF: 127 AGI: 162 LUCK: 163 HIT: 100% EVASION: 1 (Even though his bite only landed every 10th time)
Equipment
Weapon: Wicked Child
Armor: Deep Bloody Plate (+Diamond & Diamond Shard)
Head: Alraune Headdress (+Diamond Shard)
Clothing: Hunter Attire (+Moonstone, 1 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 2 Sapphires & 2 Jades)
Accessory 1: Ethereal Scard
Accessory 2: White Wolf Pendant (+ Ruby)
Final Time: 1 hour and 32 Minutes
That’s super impressive. Let’s see if you can beat his finalized form in the next update! 😎
Dude, the fight was an hour and a half long. Making it longer by making it harder might not be a good idea imo
The idea isn’t to make the fight longer. It’s to make it challenging. He won’t have an absurd stat line, but he will have more varied moves that will keep you on your toes. You’re not meant to beat him right now, so that fact you were able to do so in spite of that is impressive.
Seriously...? -_- That some absurd HP, what is he trying to be? A LoC (Labyrinth of Chaos) superboss from MGQ Paradox? Sheesh... DX Guess i'll wait until I can get some better stats/equips against this "Bonus Boss" of a foe before tackling him, at least he's not Emerald Weapon at least, though his stupid double-action is still unfair, wish Mila could gain double-action too to compensate. (And before you guys even start, yes, it IS possible to have a party member have double action, just look at the GIGANTIC library of classes in MGQ Paradox and you'll see what I mean. Hell, you can even have a temporary status of a reusable TRIPLE ACTION status for a few of your party members in MGQP, no bullshit:
[taken from the replacement for the original MGQ wiki page here https://mgq.miraheze.org/wiki/Paradox/Advanced_Races#Giga_Slime , which was taken down due to the collective takedown of most wikis due to the poor reasoning of removal of potential rule-breaking "Rule 34" content on them, even though there wasn't any real breach of that rule as all those bits were already heavily censored for said MGQ wiki, but you know how asshole execs are])
Yeah, he’s not meant to be beaten in this version. Actually, beating him does nothing anyway in that build. The good news is, his fight is now complete in the upcoming version (5.0). He’s tough, but you get a great reward once you’ve beaten him!
when the time comes can we do a customizable protagonist like naming, skin color, weapon, eye color... you got the idea of what im aiming right? it can be a good extra for when you end either version of the story of mila but happened to meet a specific character of route you chosen,ex: in the vampire hunter it would be the amber with malisphere powers (i played a version in which it ends there but now at the moment of this writing im playing the latest version and yet to make either story of a vampire mistress or a fearsome vampire hunter) i just happened to have this idea not long ago so im sorry if this is a bit confusing.
The game is focused around playing as a specific character, so no, character customization will not be something added to this game in the future. That would have to be an entirely separate project.
sure thanks anyway
Hey MKRU, i've found a bug, let me explain.
When you read the story of bianca in the diary and once u get vampire power, u can transform into bat but the skin of bianca will not change BUT when u have finished the diary it is mila with the skin of the bat and its impossible to go back to the skin of Mila. My english is not perfect and i hope u will understand what i try to explain. as i can see it is not broking my safe or anything in the game. :)
okay, thanks for letting me know. I’ll address it in the next update.
You're welcome, ty for the games i really enjoy the story, keep the good work :)
I found a bug that make me cant battle with any enemy on this new update.
This didn't happened to me on previous update before.
You’ll get this error if you try and use save data created in a previous version. Either use the included save points or start the game with a fresh save.
I met this bug too. Sorry I'm not an English native speaker so I can't exactly understand you explanation.What means a fresh save or included save？I entered 4.1.1version by an old save and created a new save and entered again by the new save. Still met this bug.
The game comes with 4 saves already made that are at several points during the game (updates and info on title screen for full details). You need to use those or start the game from the beginning. If you use a save created in an older version, it will be missing information from the latest version necessary to run properly.
Oh no...... TAT QAQ 55555 I will cry. I just downloaded complete 4.1.1 windows version and found the 4 saves. But they all seem like are at the former chapter. I have already been HR 22 but the highest level of Mila in the 4 saves is 14. Are there any solutions to rescue the saves in older versions? TAT
TAT Oh my coins fight experiences and equipments... So dear producer, my only way to save time and continue to play this game is starting at file 2 level 14?
Sorry. I add those in to save players time in having to start all over. I do have a dev room with cheats and skips available to all my patrons. That should get you closer to what your original save had. As this game is a work in progress, theres not much else I can offer to restore your save.
Not sure what the issue is, but 4.1.1 is up now. See if that version fixes your issue.
I got Problem about can't back out from setting and can't open menu while I'm in the game too, from 1st I'm not So sure that cuz my Phone or the game bug but since i saw this comment thank to him, maybe it's not my device, So please try to check this Problem. Your game is amazing and i love it So much from PC player ^_^ , Hope we will solve this Problem soon <3.
(And my version of this game is 4.1.1 Android)
Thank you ^o^
hey bro I'm waiting for the android version please update quickly
It's up.
When I tried to download the Windows version of the game, I can't play it since it said that the game is "not supported by my computer".
Is there something I have to do on my end to play the game? I'm pretty sure everything is fine on my end since the previous version worked fine.
Crimson Veil has been amazing and hope to see you continue to do well. Keep up the great work.
I’m not sure why that error has occurred for you. I didn’t get an error when testing it. Maybe try placing the game folder in a different window and opening it? That’s worked for me with some older games I’ve had trouble opening.
Ok I got it to work now.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Hey, I got a (somewhat) small request: Can you give more side quests to main and contract characters. You know, just to have more character interactions and development beyond their initial story. One side quest I remember fondly is helping Bianca to retrieve a missing book. The mission itself is just a simple fetch quest, but I felt good helping out Bianca.
If I were to list the characters that I want to have a side quest, it would be:
[Spoilers Ahead]
-Each member of Nocterna (except for Maye since she already had one about reading diaries).
-Sybille
-The Alraune
-Anja
-Quinn
-And Jessica (what a surprise...)
I know that there is a fair number of characters to give side quests to. I also realize that you'd be working on the final chapter so you might not have a lot of time to work on them. Just... think about it if you had time.
Hey, me again. This time, instead of seeking spoilers, I think I'm gonna ask a more sincere-type question: What was your inspiration and motivation for making Crimson Veil?
The inspiration came to me while listening to music at my old job. It was an overnight position without much human interaction so I got to be alone with my thoughts a lot. Mila had been one of my OCs for years at that point and I came up with a rough story in my head to go along with the OST I was listening to at the time. On a whim I decided to check steam and saw that RPG maker MV was having a super sale and decided I would try making an RPG for the hell of it. The intention was to make a short porn RPG with bad endings inspired by Monster Girl Quest, with only 4 story chapters. After I created a patreon and began to receive financial support from the community, I became inspired to expand it with contracts inspired by fan ideas and now it's become far larger than I ever envisioned. Obviously, the main motivation is my commitment to my patrons, but I'm proud of the game I've made so far and now that I'm so close to finishing my original story, I'm more inspired than ever to see!
What's the plan after finishing the main story and the vampire route? Are you wrapping things up after that or can we expect to see more?
I can't say how I'll feel that far down the line, but as of now, I plan on continuing to create content after both stories are complete, at least for a bit.
The song you were listening to wouldn't happen to be "Life After Life", from the Dracula Musical would it? I was listening to it back in October and couldn't help but think your Vampire Route was inspired by it.
No, it was the Castlevania Curse of Darkness OST. I never originally planned for a vampire route in the game.
Is there a discord server for this game?
Nope. I’m too lazy to manage one of those XD
Understandable, have a nice day
Hey, how are you doing? Hope you are doing great. I haven't downloaded the 4.1 version yet and waiting for it to be available for everyone. But even though it would be free at that point, I'm still gonna drop money for it including my idea.
Anyway, there's something I want to ask. What's Jessica's boss fight like? You don't have to be super spoiler-y. I'm just curious if you gave her any unique attacks or strategies? If nothing else, I want to know what's Jessica's and Mila's dialogue when Mila is at half and low health.
I've just posted the updated walkthrough. You can check out the quest details here if you like:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rjEtddRTDJZlaZDb0hiybd5ZmbyT_s4h/edit?usp=sh...
I read her boss fight section and how she fights... and that is exactly how I see her fight. Kudos.
I also read "The Rocky Relationship" section and see all the times and places that you meet Jessica. I... don't particularly like how you have to run back to find her during certain and important plot moments. Sort of breaks the tension and the immersion. Then again, I could do that from the start and it would be like my 3rd/4th playthrough of the game.
Finally made an account to just tell you your doing an amazing job :) joined this form back in 2.0 for kinks but kept following and check the weekly updates becouse your doing great on this keep it up and happy new years :)
You making an account just to tell me this has made my day. Thank you so much! Let’s hope this year is an improvement over 2021!
Just asking this out of curiosity but what would happen if Vampire Mira and Human Mira were to meet up. (Kind of like a bonus end game content where Mira is forced to face her Vampire self in a battle.)
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
I suppose it would be an existential experience for both of them, as it would for most sane people.
Merry late Christmas and lets hope the next year is an improvement over this one.
To MKRU,
I hope you are having a Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas. I really enjoy Crimson Veil, both as a tantalizing "stress reliever" and as a game with an entertaining narrative.
I also ask, humbly, if you could describe one or more new scenes involving Jessica. I understand that I am and will admit that I'm being a bit greedy. It's just that I am eagerly waiting for the next update and play the side questing involving Jessica. I would understand if you want to keep it a secret and don't want to spoil it. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Once again, I hope you are having a Merry Christmas and a Merry Holiday too. Here looking what 2022 has in store for us (and hope for a year that's unarguably good).
The release of the update isn’t far off. I’d prefer to keep the details close to my chest until then. For now, you can have this picture of Jessica to tide you over.
Happy Holidays!
Just wanted to say that I've been following your game for a LOOONG time and I LOVE IT! thanks for all the hard work and keep at it! Looking forward to all the stuff coming next update!
P.S. I know it's alot of extra work, but the idea of having extended bad ends (Like the Viviene one) has to be my favorite so far! Just some feedback.
Extended bad endings are great, I just need to be inspired to make content for them. Maybe I’ll do a poll for which ending can get expanded in the future or something. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for following the game up to now.
got another round of suggestions, this time it includes a contract, some worldbuilding, and a sidequest. Feel free to include your reply in the document itself, I gave you commenting permission

Also, if anyone else has an idea, they are welcome to comment
Hey, since you like sharing ideas, mind looking at mind and tell me what you think?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JasfpBHvQSEe0q2VMrEc7AR9-PDw7aLo57SQ-z6eZeE/...
Is the main story considered complete now? Just finished chapter 4 (hunter route); there was no obvious resolution, but it also seems like it might not be possible to develop the story any further.
Nope, there’s still one major chapter to go.
Wait! One Chapter To Go!? I thought we have at least 2. One to sort out what happened in chapter 4 and one where we face the final boss.
Sort of. Chapter 5 will likely be split in two releases.
While on the subject of chapters, is it possible to have a chapter 0 or a prologue in the future. I don't think chapter 1 does a good enough job to explain the world we're suddenly in. I'd even be happy with an introduction slideshow that said something like: "This world has vampires and monsters running about. Rinaldo was a legendary vampire hunter the killed the vampire queen. He's now deceased and vampire hunting organization is being led by his two daughters."
Bianca’s Diary takes place before the start of the game.
Hi Everybody! I got something to share.
Where in the middle of waiting for the next update and waiting for new content to be added. And to MKRU; thank you for your hard work but our entertainment isn't more important than your health and I hope for your full recovery.
Anyway, in the past week, I wrote down all my ideas for side quests/contracts into a Google Doc and I've planned to share it with everyone. They're for the next fan idea contest and I don't which is the best one to submit.
This is more or less fanfic and everyone is welcome and takes notes. I'm eager to see criticism and want to know which is the best one. Enjoy:)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JasfpBHvQSEe0q2VMrEc7AR9-PDw7aLo57SQ-z6eZeE/...
That is quite the extensive list!
Yeah, I know. That's just what I can come up with if I am given the right story to tinker with.
And I think I said in the Doc that some of them were to just test the bounds of what I can get away with. The rules for the last contest said that I can't use story characters, but I am allowed to use Mila. So, why not make a mission where there's a bunch of different Mila?
