Game development Trembling Essence update:

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

Hi guys and welcome new followers! I am here with another update to share which is fairly short! :]

Progress was pretty slow this week up until my second play tester got a chance to play a little bit of the game. They also haven't played it in a while so it was enjoyable getting their view on everything. Sadly, they weren't able to finish everything but it was a lot of fun! I was given some grammatical tips and redid some sentences that needed to be adjusted/shortened.

There was also a laugh between the both of us. They came across a funny grammatical error that's been in the game since the demo that surprisingly never got noticed or mentioned when Noah is thinking to himself during a certain section of the cabin. :P

They also mentioned fixing up old CG's and I completely forgot about updating the old ones from early development that didn't focus around Noah being in them.

Here's the new updated version of the bathroom!

This will most likely be mentioned in the master post but, the old version of the cabin was going to be in a very bad state. Mold and dust was going to be something that was not only a big problem in the bathroom but also the living room, kitchen, [redacted], and [redacted]. This was changed due to my writing improvement and I have a different way of approaching the mold issue. To those who've been here since the early days of the "mold era", it's no longer as bad and mostly (? >:?) cleaned up now! :]

There's also going to be a fairly small-medium sized quality of life change in the start of the cabin. My play tester mentioned a few key things that I agreed on that would really reflect Noah's view towards the player(Y/N) and his own characteristics.

That's all I have to share so far! Thank you guys for all of your supporting encouragement through this! It will always be greatly appreciated! >:]
