Game development Trembling Essence update:


Hello guys and welcome new followers, I am here with another update! :]

This week mainly focused on CG work and placement!

I made a few that are now being added around in one of the routes you can get. Compared to the other path, this one felt rather empty especially during sections that had a bit of depth to them. I used his sprite in these areas because my art style at the time was inconsistent during the summer and I was bogged down from having to scrap a few of CG's. Now that I've been improving on drawing I feel more comfortable with adding them in! :,]


This is just a mock up but I also tested some small animation segments here and there, mainly just for practice so I can get a good idea of what I want to do moving forward! Eventually, certain parts of the game will have animated sections but for now, I'm just taking it slow. :]


On to some fixes that were made while I was placing the CG's around!

  • Fixed a glitch I accidently overlooked which caused you to lose a lot of closeness with Noah if you happen to get an alternate situation twice.
  • There were a few alternate dialogs that got removed since they were very minor and didn't really add towards the game.
  • I deleted a decision from one of the paths you can run into in order to balance things out a bit more. It's now 2 instead of 3.
  • There were more music/SFX that were adjusted in terms of balancing the volume. I also placed some in certain areas to give more of an immersive feel that weren't there initially.
  • I redid the dialog from a choice that leads into the kitchen which didn't express Noah and the player(Y/N)'s reactions correctly.
  • Lots of miscellaneous dialog changes that were either outdated, awkwardly worded, or unnecessary.
  • Tweaked a few transition sections I missed.

I think that's everything I have to share right now, this week went really well as far as working on the game, I got a lot done than I expected to! The next update will go into a couple of reworks which includes his sprites! This was a long time coming but I'm looking forward to this! :]

Thank you guys so much for your continued encouragement and support, it does not go unnoticed and I really appreciate all of the kind words towards what I'm working on! :,]
