Trembling Essence:💙Cabin quality of life developments💙

Hi guys and welcome to my devlog here's how the game is coming along!

If you would like to play here's the link to my [Extended Demo!] :  https://zombeebunnie.itch.io/trembling-essence-extended-demo

A lot of what I've been doing is cleaning up most of the dialog through the cabin! I went through and played the afternoon route fully and I managed to catch a few spelling errors along the way. :,]

Before:

After:

One thing I did was fix several of Noah's expressions/reactions towards the player(Y/N)'s choices and interactions. Some of the original sprites I placed made Noah come off as if he's blushing/flustered when it's just that the situation is awkward between the both of you.

Immersive update:

One thing I can't wait to start doing is animating this scene! It's one of my favorite environmental CG's and it was meant to have a raining animation etc, but I couldn't add this to the [Extended Demo] due to the size of it and I didn't know how to add multiple animation frames at the time. With what I know now hopefully I can optimize it! :]

I also took out this choice you could make in the game. There was a variable here that would effect the game later on but it wasn't anything major enough to continue through with it. This isn't to say that it'll be gone forever(?) but just that it doesn't belong here anymore. :[]
This choice is also being updated too since it extends from very old code that contained spoilers that happened too early. It'll still be available to choose but just not as extended. :[] The "Talk to Noah." choice is also getting re-worked since what originally happened there gave away big spoilers too. :,[]

This is a small quality of life change but one thing I noticed is that the player(Y/N)'s +HP gain wasn't visible during certain fade transition scenes so I added a small pause in between to make it visible.

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:

To know and understand Noah through Asks and random posts about lore, they'll be under #Get to know: Noah ! :]

**Some asks won't be answered if it contains spoilers but I do appreciate what I receive. :]

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!

Thank you to everyone for the uplifting support during all of this I really appreciate it! :,,]
