Crimson Veil
WEEKLY UPDATE!! 8/25/24
Welcome back everyone! I’m happy to say that I just completed the scenario for Clover’s contract quest today. I played through the whole quest line and came out of it feeling pretty satisfied. I do need to tweak the difficulty a bit, as I felt that the battles were a bit too braindead, but as far as the difficult part of scripting all the scenes, that part is all done! It’s full steam ahead towards scripting the scenes for the second quest of this update cycle!
Additionally, I wanted to share a few quality of life additions I’ve added, which primarily affect the main Hunter Route. To start, you are now prompted in the beginning if you would like to start the game with the Vampire Route!
I am aware of a large player base that comes to the game just to play this story, so this change is to accommodate them. You will be prompted that you will be missing important context as a player, but I feel that the story of the vampire route still works well since Mila suffers from amnesia. Use it if you like, although the traditional way is still available and you will now be prompted just before it becomes available, in Dorian’s Manor
Another change I’ve made is a small but welcome buff to Holy Water, Purify, and Holy Purify skills. You now gain resistance to the vampirism state for 1-2 turns after using them.
This is to mitigate the frustration of healing the state, only to be immediately reinfected the same turn. Be aware that this change also affects the hunters you fight in the Vampire Route!
Lastly, there is no new in-game art to share with you all this week, however, I have some bonus art I wanted to share with you, since we are nearing the end of Summer. Here’s some chill art of Bad Girl Bianca in a Bodacious Bikini.
I also have 9 alts, including nude versions for my $5+ Patrons.

Glad in the future I can enter the Vampire Route without having to play through the whole game, but what about the Extra Dialogue where Bianca recognizes Mila after completing some of her quests? Or where Queen Anja recognizes Mila after she regains her humanity when Mila went to Fallholt? As a Completionist, I want to experience the Dialogue where I've already been to Fallholt before going the Vampire Route. If I skip it, what will happen to the dialogue?
The dialogue will be the same as if you entered the vampire route without interacting with them.
These quality of life changes sound great, as well as the difficulty change. Imo most of the game can become a bit too easy at times
Difficulty is such a tricky thing to juggle. Everyone perceives it differently and everyone plays their own way. Its not easy finding a reasonable middle ground that works for most.
So u just protect yourself from the state but not from lifesteal dmg? Cause i use bite not for the state but for the lifesteal
It just prevents the status effect. Drain effect is still active.
I would some clarification then. Does that mean the Hunter route is 100% done and you are only doing work on the vampire route or is there still some things left in the hunter route(and I don't mean quality of life improvements I mean story like content)?
Hunter route is basically content complete. The story is told and I may add some quests or art at some point, but my focus now is the vampire route.
Ok thank you
This seems like it will be a mostly-welcome update. I personally love it (I'm constantly restarting) but there will be those who complain (there is always someone that complains no matter what. Like when Fromsoft nerfed RoB and the same people that complained about it being OP complained about it being nerfed).
