So im not sure if anybody has pointed this out but i think there is a massive plot hole in the story. When you get the Option to begin the Vampire route at the start of Chapter 3. You guys have 2 of the Dark Orbs and the third and fourth are where they are at in Chapters 3 and 4 respectively. Ashe can get the Third one easily but like with happens in Chapter 4 she would be caught and all four would be in the hands of You Know Who. it would not be to much of a stretch for You Know Who to get the Dagger and release the Final Boss of the Game onto the World. So i guess my question is how did that not happen and how did Ashe show up in Chapter 3 of the Vampire route?
Since Mila can fall into her slumber during a wide period of game time, the exact reasoning for the Dark Orbs getting scattered can vary. I think its left to interpretation how the events fall into place.
Also, I don’t recall Ashe appearing in Chapter 3-V. Where was she?!
i cant use items anymore after the Update. I imported my saves though so that have something to do with it. I cant use items during battle the games crashes and using some of the skills also crashes the game. Its also on Android so that may also be it.
thanks for the info keep up the great work. After you complete the Rosenbland Estate on the Vampire Route i cant save anymore i can only use the healing circles to autosave. Sorry im being a nag.
The Saving problem fixed itself though so i do not know what going on with that. Also just finished the third chapter great addition to the story can wait for more. i Can confirm items do not work even if you start a new game. I had a fun time cheesing the Faye fight because i couldn't use my healing items so i had to bank on her missing with her Bite skill or not using it altogether. Provided a great challenge
I have to say, I've been following for a while and I'm glad you've been managing, but Im a little disappointed that even after farming all the way to BP 80 and spamming laurels, I'm not allowed to beat the White Knight. :(
Nice update, but a little disappointed that there's no narrative mode saves like I suggested last time. You should upload narrative mode save files in in addition to the regular mode.
When Cassie said "there's plenty of places to get healed" She meant holy water right? Would using sanctusaid turn someone into a thrall after frequent use or was that because Mila took too much blood from the pirates?
with every update, there are various changes made under the hood, which cause older saves to have issues. I would recommend using the saves I have included and start from there.
There’s 9 different saves at various points in the game (details are in the ReadMe). Patrons also have access to a dev room that let you further tweak your save with items, armor, and gold you may have had.
Can you explain to me in detail how vampire pregnancy works in Crimson Veil? Can female vampires get impregnated by other male vampires or is it only male humans that can do that? What about male vampires and female humans?
Hello there, I'm a bit confused on how to get "A disturbance in the woods." I've completed all the requirements according to the walkthrough however the NPC isn't spawning in Humilem Village. Is there anything else that needs to be done in order for them to spawn or is it a possible glitch?
I have finished the 1st contract (the pirate one) and sent Bianca away. It mentions in the walkthrough to enter humilem village, waterfall ridge 3 times and the npc should be at the water but they don't seem to be spawning in.
I completed the main route for the second time, it's still as satisfying as it is. Although, a New Game Plus would be nice if I want to start over again but keep my equipment and stats. Do you plan on adding something like that?
I mean, at that point it would start to become a bit too labor intensive instead of a fun, quick addition. I want the focus on new content to be on the vampire route, at least for now. I can’t spread myself too thin adding new content everywhere, as cool as that would be.
Honestly, IMO, the best thing to do for full NG+ support is to allow for players to win every fight that the plot mandates you lose, and unlock an alternate ending or something.
Depending on how strong Dealer is, maybe NG+ Vampire Mila could ACTUALLY beat what Dorian wants out of him? But hey, you don't have to. It can just be "start the game again with big stats and ignore the canon inconsistency"
another thing I noticed, this time on the Vampire Route. The vampire hunters inside the towns are fairly weak after chapter V-2 and some training. buying a ton of SP-replenishing items makes it so you can spam fire spells that attack all of them, and never worry about backup. speaking of which, even when I targeted one at a time, backup never seemed to work properly and would only display a message but never actually did anything.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I never updated them to account for the extra training that’s currently available. It will be addressed in the next update.
I believe you've talked about this in another comment but I do want to bring this to your attention again, the subject being the St. Viviene fight. remembering my own struggles with this, I decided to give fighting her on a maxed out file a try. the result was having a hard time beating her one level below the maximum (which I believe is 8) and feeling a burning need to post this. to max the save file, I fought the same ghoul over and over again until it dropped a vampire dust, making a mistake here and there, losing a total of 3 vampire dust before the fight. overall, I just want to say that the fight's balancing is a huge issue for new players not expecting the difficulty of the fight, and the fact that you played the whole game beginning to end to address issues like this is extremely admirable. I wish you have a great time developing this game moving forward.
Viviene has always been a poorly designed boss in my opinion. Its hard to introduce interesting boss mechanics that early into the game without it overwhelming the player. But I think at this point I would rather the fight be easy and boring than frustrating.
Update on this situation: the max level at this point is like 10, not 8. and I was level 9 at the time of the battle. but other than that, I just wanted to say that the main thing that bothered me about the boss fight was not the difficulty of the whole fight, but rather the ridiculous amount of damage she does with no warning in the final phase, especially considering you have no turns to prepare since you need to attack her for her to enter her final stage. The immense amount of damage she deals makes it so that defeating her at level 5-6 feels like gambling, just hoping that you land a critical hit, or that her bite misses. Some things I had in mind were a potential warning for the bite, or just outright reducing it's damage considering it deletes half of your max HP or more if it hits. Although generally the fight is fine: difficulty is good, and mechanics are great!

Indeed Indeed
If I do start the vampire path, does it really matter who turns me or not really?
You can only start the vampire route by losing to a specific vampire. Check out the walkthrough for full details.

Made 2 saves- one for vampire and one for human route! Never played vampire route before so this will be intersting to say the least!!
Have fun!
i cant use items anymore after the Update. I imported my saves though so that have something to do with it. I cant use items during battle the games crashes and using some of the skills also crashes the game. Its also on Android so that may also be it.
Likely some odd side effect of using older saves. Items should work.
thanks for the info keep up the great work. After you complete the Rosenbland Estate on the Vampire Route i cant save anymore i can only use the healing circles to autosave. Sorry im being a nag.
no worries. I will look into it.

There is a walkthrough available in the downloads section.
I can not find it :c

Jokes aside great job with 5.4.1
Thanks so much!

The Friedrich HQ really gave me a headache but it really was worth it.
Vampire Cassie •///-///•
She is too precious for the mortal world.
Just wondering.
When Cassie said "there's plenty of places to get healed" She meant holy water right? Would using sanctusaid turn someone into a thrall after frequent use or was that because Mila took too much blood from the pirates?
Constantly getting bitten and healed by the same vampire would turn them into a thrall.
could you tell me where this crash occurred?
Using a healing item during any fight, tried it a few times
Thank you. I will look into this.
How do you get to save files in Android 11?
When you start a new game it asks if you want to import them.
Will the android version get update ?
later today.
Oh nice
Does the mac version work on Sonoma?
I’m not sure, i never tested it for that.
Alright, thanks.
It's out already? Did I lose track of time? because usually it takes longer. Time really goes fast.
it sure does…
When the public release will be out ?
It's out! Go! Go! GO!!
do i have to start a new save when i update the game?
with every update, there are various changes made under the hood, which cause older saves to have issues. I would recommend using the saves I have included and start from there.
sorry to ask, but where can i find these saves? and how far into the game are they?
The saves are bundled with the game by default.
There’s 9 different saves at various points in the game (details are in the ReadMe). Patrons also have access to a dev room that let you further tweak your save with items, armor, and gold you may have had.
Does the nine saves work on the mac version?
Yep.
I seem to be quite lost, how do you forge the dawn bringer?
Here is a full walkthrough that should explain everything:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VbSILz60_Yc7NyU-DRv3mrX0FVua3WSBD9nlN0Bf5jk/...
Can you explain to me in detail how vampire pregnancy works in Crimson Veil? Can female vampires get impregnated by other male vampires or is it only male humans that can do that? What about male vampires and female humans?
I’m no doctor. I’m not qualified to explain the intricacies of vampire breeding.
Well, you explained how thralls worked so I'd imagined you'd know more about this as well.
Hello there, I'm a bit confused on how to get "A disturbance in the woods." I've completed all the requirements according to the walkthrough however the NPC isn't spawning in Humilem Village. Is there anything else that needs to be done in order for them to spawn or is it a possible glitch?
One of the other requirements for the NPC to appear is that you finish the first contract of the vampire route. Are you sure you’ve done everything?
I have finished the 1st contract (the pirate one) and sent Bianca away. It mentions in the walkthrough to enter humilem village, waterfall ridge 3 times and the npc should be at the water but they don't seem to be spawning in.
You need to completely leave the village, not just that map. You can easily do this by warping to Dorian’s manor and back until the NPC spawns.
That was it, thanks for your help.
Happy to help!
hey I'm on the castle mission and I've already cleaned it all but I don't know where to go
Here is a full walkthrough for the game:

Can anyone tell me what the code is for the dragon statue in the library?
941
Thanks man
Ho Ho! Anyone in need of good wares?
This guy is just always here chat.
how much for the malispheres? Do you accept Arby's gift cards?
I completed the main route for the second time, it's still as satisfying as it is. Although, a New Game Plus would be nice if I want to start over again but keep my equipment and stats. Do you plan on adding something like that?
Yeah, that doesn’t sound too difficult to do. I’ll look into how it can be best implemented!
Glad to know you are thinking on it. Maybe add some hidden dialogues too, because a New Game Plus might become boring if it's just the same thing.
I mean, at that point it would start to become a bit too labor intensive instead of a fun, quick addition. I want the focus on new content to be on the vampire route, at least for now. I can’t spread myself too thin adding new content everywhere, as cool as that would be.
Understandable
