First off, I want to apologize for not being around for the last scheduled update. Got busy with life obligations, but I’m back, and I’d like to jump right into things by introducing you to a brand-new character who will be appearing in the final chapter of Crimson Veil!
Meet Ingridd.
Ingridd lives in southern Thuhenia, not far from the remains of Dorian’s old castle. She comes from a small, impoverished village and has recently found herself troubled by strange premonitions—visions warning her that a great evil is preparing to return to her home. What exactly these premonitions mean, and what role Ingridd will play in the events to come, is something you’ll have to discover for yourself...
For the past few weeks, most of my development time has actually been focused on artwork. I’ve been finishing up several lingering sketches while also working on some new digital pieces that I’m not quite ready to reveal just yet. However, there is one new illustration I can share a little bit of today—and surprisingly, this one is actually being added to the Hunter Route!
A brand-new CG has been commissioned for one of the Hunter Route’s endings, depicting a moment during the events of Chapter 4. It’s something I’ve wanted to see illustrated for a while now, and I’m very happy to finally be able to add it to the game. Here’s a cropped preview:
Tier 3+ patrons can already see the full images, along with a colored work-in-progress of Ingridd’s character portrait, over on the official Crimson Veil Discord server:
Look for it in the Shardforge Sanctum channel!
While art has taken up most of my attention lately, I do have one final piece of game development news to leave you with. Take a look at the title for Crimson Veil's final chapter:
The word itself can carry quite a few different meanings, and I chose it very deliberately. I’m curious to see what you make of it. Does the title give you any ideas about where you think the story might be heading?
That’s all I have for you this week. Until next time, everyone!
