WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/14/22


Firstly, I would like to share that there will be no update next Sunday (8/21/22) as I will be on vacation. That being said, I would like to leave you all with an exciting update this week!

The upcoming update will finally be adding a long requested feature to the game! Within the first area of the floating castle, you will come across a room with a gated entrance. No matter how hard you try, there is no key to open this door normally. So how does this door open? 

Once you have completed the main story and loaded a file with clear data on it, you will have access the Theater of Inevitability!

That's right, a bad ending viewer will be added as a post game reward for all those that complete the main story! Within this theater, your host Evie will provide you with a list of all the game's possible bad endings (with some exceptions). You can view these endings even if you haven't completed the appropriate quest to see it normally in-game. For those wondering, Evie is Immi's older sister! (See Weekly Update 7/10/22 for a refresher).

The list of endings looks something like this. Now, Crimson Veil has a lot of bad endings, some with slight variations. If there is an ending that is overly similar to another, only one of those endings will appear on the list. An example of this is Faye's ending, where it can vary slightly depending on whether or not you choose to give in before the battle or lose to her, so keep that in mind. In general, I have selected the ending that includes the most amount of art or which I feel is written better.

But, I know what you're thinking. "I have to beat the WHOLE game just to access this?". Not to worry! The Theater of Inevitability can also be accessed via the Dev Room at any time! Whether or not this is your first time playing the game, if you have patron access to the Dev Room, you can view all the game's endings anytime you want! Just be aware that this feature will obviously include spoilers for the game, which is why I left it in naturally as an unlockable! 

This feature has been on my bucket list for almost two years now and I had been brainstorming on how best to implement it. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for this, but I knew that implementing this feature would take a good amount of time. Each ending needs to be played out and tested to be sure they all work at any point in the game. It's likely that this feature may release with a few issues since there is little way for me to account for every possible scenario. Please report to me any issues you encounter so that I can get on to fixing it as I usually do.

 So, that's it! I appreciate your patience so much on this update!

I suddenly have a sneaking suspicion that Evie is only providing this feature just to seduce and turn Mila.

I'm assuming that the ToE (what an unfortunate acronym) won't show Bad Endings from the Vampire Route, Right?

Technically there are no bad endings in the vampire route, just scenes where you cause a bad ending others. But, yes I will be including them.

Huh, I forgot that the bad ending was a simple "Game Over".

Also, if you add the "ToE" joke into the game, I'd be willing to drop 5AU$ on the day of release.

Haha, while I’d appreciate the donation, the abbreviation is actually “ToI”.
