Trembling Essence:💙New Backgrounds + Quality of life fixes💙

Hi and welcome to my dev-log this update might be short since I wasn't able to do anything for a few days. :[]

Ending update progress:

The bridge:

Last week I mentioned this ending being updated/adjusted from the [Extended Demo]. The progress for this was very small since I wasn't able to do too much for days.

Now that this area is only accessible to the player(Y/N) through two* different places I went back and fixed the first situation that leads to this place. Courtesy from my play tester's suggestions, this one is expanded out and most of the dialog is different. I've only managed to add small immersive effects but I am enjoying the process. This part is going to be animated like how it was in the [Extended Demo]. :,]

Extra quality of life fixes:

This was something fairly minor but I went back and adjusted this background so you can actually see both paths going in different directions that was blocked by the text box.

Timers:

I'm still working on the timed choices and how I want the design to look but I didn't have any time(:P) to edit them but hopefully next week it'll be finished! >;]

New backgrounds:

I've also been working on backgrounds behind the scenes and a couple of them have been animated for a immersive feel. For example, if the player has to move quickly there will be a small camera pan. Again, this is something that'll be added around in certain places that I feel are needed. :]

I did move the progress bar up since The bridge section has been worked on more compared to last week and some new BG's were completed. :[]

If you like what I create, please consider supporting what I do on kofi! All donations and tips help tremendously while I continue to work on the game. Thank you to those that optionally bought the [Extended Demo] and the March 2023 demo on itch.io. :,]

Q&A / Ask box is open:

There were some asks I genuinely couldn't answer because it would require me to mention major spoilers/the questions have spoilers in them. :,,,]

If you have any questions about Trembling Essence/Noah feel free to ask here or on itch.io please. This makes it easier for me to see and answer accordingly! I enjoy hearing from you guys!

This is honestly all I have to share so far, thank you to everyone that has been understanding and patient with all of this when I couldn't do too much this time around. The encouraging support really goes a long way! :,]
