WEEKLY UPDATE!! 7/28/24
🕑 Added 2024-07-29 00:00:05 +0000 UTCAnother week goes by, another progress update for you all. I updated the lore bible from last week to fill out some of the parts I hadn’t yet written. There's more I want to add to it, such as the character portraits, but for now I’m using it as a reference sheet that can be easily accessed through google docs. If I make it look fancy now, it could make it cumbersome to scroll through at a moment’s notice, so that’s a project for another time.
However, some of you who’ve read certain parts of it will notice that I made a change to the lore. Specifically with the name of Viviene’s Dark Lord. I’ve gone back and updated every instance (I could find) of the name Satan and changed it to Sanguineus. Vampire mythology is often associated with Christianity, but aside from the use of crosses, I’d rather have my game’s lore follow its own rules and not mess with any real world religion or its figures. I think that goes without saying in a work of fiction, but I’d rather avoid the “ Umm, actually…” comments.
I have finished the layout of the Shrouded Academy. I still need to decorate the interiors as well as add in a few… gimmicks. I will elaborate further on that in a future update. The main room that I worked on is the final one where the boss is fought. An underground cavern surrounded with waterfalls. I’ve also started work on the boss fight, As seen below.
I’m purposefully trying to keep details on this vague…
And for this week’s art, I have the bite scene for the Berserker enemy type.
I currently have the full resolution Berserker Bite Scene images available as a preview for all my $5+ patrons. It’s a 2 image set.

This week has felt rather chaotic in terms of time management. Summer has given me little free time between my day job and babysitting my 4 year old nephew. And I just found out I have another one on the way! I’m excited, but also dreading caring for an infant again. I love taking care of my nephew, but kids are draining, especially at that age.
I’m sticking to a development schedule that works best for me. I’ve said this before, but I’m repeating it again for myself more than anything. I’m focusing on getting small goals done each week for you all. That being said, I’m still aiming to have this update out by late September. If I can keep this pace going, I should be able to meet my deadline. With any luck, I should have a bit more free time in August.
Anyway, that’s all I have for you this week. Until next time everyone!!
