Crimson Veil 5.7.1 Update Is Out!
This week we’re doing a cross-promotion with Crimson Veil, which just had version 5.7.1 go public! You can get it over on this bsky post which will lead you to the Itch/Steam downloads.
Look, you like RoP, you like other bottled Starlight work. You’ll like Crimson Veil if you’ve never played it. Trust me on that one. And it’s free, what have you got to lose? Are you afraid you might have too much fun?
Coding, Development
We now have all the maps, all the backgrounds, and all the talk sprites for the chapter done. There’s a few more Nice-To-Haves, and I need to kick Urimas’ ass so he makes more sprites for me, but now it’s down to coding.
Raelynn’s Relaxation Resort, a spa you can find on the northeast edge of the Old Capitol Grounds. Raelynn has some problems, you see, there was a footrace the other day and she needs to know who won and what colour they were wearing. Help her out it’s not a puzzle and she’ll reward you!
I honestly thought the code for these not puzzles would take a lot longer than it did, they came out very clean and bug-free. There’s no combat, it’s just some light helping out and you get some nice items for it. You can even relax in the hotsprings yourself!
This week I need to implement all the new map code (there are THREE full page maps in the next update! Three! All of Northwoods was ONE!), test it, and then get to work on the Rising Dawn miniquest. Unfortunately it isn’t as fleshed out as the Raelynn quest, but maybe I can work a puzzle helping out a friend in.
In addition, all of the huntables are in and have sprites and puzzles hunting methods to find them. I will be very interested if people want me to backport hunting puzzles to Northwoods and Westwoods, it’s definitely more interesting but it might be a bit too much for a first time player who just needs gear upgrades.
