Game development Trembling Essence update:

Trembling Essence Demo
A downloadable Visual novel game. for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello guys and welcome new followers! I am here with an update again which will be fairly short! :]

This week continued into more sprite reworking!

I don't really have too much to say about this that I didn't already cover from the last update post but these are his alternate sprites that will be used when he's in what he considers to be his pajamas!

The old version of his pajama sprites no longer represent what I wanted to go for and they looked too similar to his green hoodie sprites. I wanted the pose to be different and show the differences between what he wears since his green hoodie is oversized on him. I'd show the before and after but I cringe looking at his old sprites lol. :,]

I also went through and temporarily fixed the morning living room CG by lightening it because his pajama sprite blended a bit too much into the background.

Adding all of his pajama sprites was easier after the trial and error with his green hoodie sprites which lead to me finding more grammar issues and certain dialogs that weren't needed anymore.

Now with that out of the way, it's time to talk about a new ending you can get now! So funny story, I actually completely forgot about this ending and it remained unfinished since it was something that was originally hidden within the game and there was a very specific way you had to go about getting it. I just happened to find it again when I was placing his sprites around. I read through it and changed the entire segment since it was outdated. Here's a small sneak peak!

I love the way it turned out in the end! I was able to find the old CG file and had a lot of fun with adjusting the lighting for it to resemble a different time of day! :]

This is all I have so far to discuss so thank you for supporting and encouraging me through this game development process! :,]
