Orryn’s Tradepost — Reward Preview

“Some doors open not with keys, but with memory — and Orryn has a way of remembering everyone.”

As the mists settle over Dunmire once more, our next Patreon release turns toward one of its most peculiar landmarks — Orryn’s Tradepost, a place where one never quite finds what they want, but always what they need....

Exploring the Visual Language of Veil of Avalon

This month, I’ve been exploring and refining the art style that will define Veil of Avalon.
So far, I’ve experimented with three directions — Style A, B, and C — each teaching me something about form, color, and emotion.

The goal has always been a View Post

Devlog IV - The Shape of Resolve

“Even the light that falters still learns to burn.”

Progress this month has been slower than I’d hoped, though perhaps not without meaning. Health continues to dictate the pace, but the story – and the will behind it – hasn’t dimmed. If anything, the path has simply changed its shape.

In the wake of the recent Inkarnate controversy, I’ve begun ...

A Shift on the Horizon

Dear Veilbourne,

You may have seen the recent controversy surrounding Inkarnate and the possibility of AI art on their Marketplace. Inkarnate has since released a statement confirming that AI-generated art will not be allowed. This is a relief—but it doesn’t erase the ongoing concerns many of us have felt.

The past months have shown increasing <...

A Moment Between Echoes – Personal Update & the Path Ahead

Dear Veilbound,

You may have noticed the silence—and for that, I owe you both an apology and a moment of honesty.

Over the past weeks, I’ve been facing some unexpected health issues that have required me to pause, reflect, and step back. Though not catastrophic, they’ve forced me to reevaluate how I’ve been carrying this project and this space—both in term...

Stitching the Path

„A story, like a wound, must be bound with care.”

It has been a month of threads and thorns – of unravelling, restitching, and discovering the right way through the mist. We have taken a long look at Act I: The Veilbourne Path, and reworked it from the ground up. The questline now breathes with better rhythm, riche...

End of Month Update - May

The Veil shifted more slowly this month—but not without purpose.

Our core May rewards focused on one of the realm’s most haunting presences: The Dread of the Unnamed, a creature born of what Avalon chose to forget, now bound to the tower of Tyrn Valis. Its entry, encounter design, and expanded lore offer a glimpse into the sorrow-soak...

Veil of Avalon - Devlog 2

The mists never quite clear in Avalon. They shift, revealing more of what was meant to be seen – and little of what lies beyond. These past weeks, we’ve continued refining the emotional core of Veil of Avalon, bringing light to old myths, and giving shape to echoes that stir beneath.

Dear Veilbourne,

In the quiet corners of this world, where memory sleeps beneath stone and sorrow lingers like mist, something ancient is beginning to stir:

The Crown I Carried

“I did not want the crown.
They gave it to me not with ceremony, but with silence. It was cold – not of metal, but of memory. And I wore it like a breath in winter... slowly vanishing.
Every sorrow, every forgotten name, every smile that broke into weeping – I held them. Not as punishment. But as promise.
I bore it because no one else would. Not even her. Not even me.
