#te updates

**Excuse the double-post, the images I used glitched out on my feed and wouldn't load at all so I had to re upload this. :S

Hellooo and happy warm welcome to new followers! Cheers to the last full game development update on here! 💌🧸

If you're interested in seeing future in depth updates or even be in the credits of the full game, please support me on -> [Patreon]! This tremendously supports the development of the game. 💌

**Speaking of Patreon I'll be making another post over there as a introduction on what's to come! In the future I'll also begin mapping out the design for a unique [Credits] in-game screen for the Sweet honey jar tier now that I've gotten much better at coding!💌

*I'll still post small sneak peeks giving basic updates about game development outside of Patreon, don't worry!*💕 :D

Thank you to everyone that has bought, shared, commented, rated, liked, etc. the Trembling Essence [New Update], I appreciate the continued support! This post might be a little longer than usual but I'll try my best to condense everything. :,]💕

Behind the scenes:

The last few days of January into the start of February I was pretty much preparing/cleaning up things to announce the [New Update].

Not too long after that I gave my mind a small break from all the constant beta testing and code cleaning. Making silly videos/ Valentine's day easter eggs for the game really helped. I would've added more into the [New Update] but I didn't want too many funny moments to take away from the overall experience while playing. A few days before the release I fixed up a few more issues my play testers and I caught and added tiny upgrades to the interface. After the [New Update] was uploaded I was a bit scatterbrained and needed time to reground myself and prepare for the future. 🌹💌

So what happens now?:

So in very exciting news I was blessed with a new laptop which was something I was not expecting! To go a little further into this, the one I've been using aaallll the way in the beginning was falling apart over time and it kept getting worse once the battery to it stopped working. I mentioned this issue in the past but in the end I wasn't able to replace it so I tried to make things work and it's not going to be long before it stops working completely. I've been slowly transferring what I can over to the new one and getting used to the different set up/lighting/faster loading speed.🌸 :,]

A lot will be happening during the seasonal transition into spring and I want to try my best to keep things in order but overall, while I continue transferring things over I'll be cleaning up interface, etc. I learned a lot in a very short time so I really want to apply what I know while it's still fresh in my mind.🌸

In good news, I have about 10+ or so routes/paths I wrote a looonnnggg time ago that had some scenes I liked and new content I'd like to add into the concepts for Day 4+. Because of this, finishing up Day 4 into Day 5 shouldn't take long to complete. The bad news is my organization skills back then wasn't the best like it is now so I need to do some digging to find these 10+ or so routes/paths.🌸 :,]

The process of Day 4+ will start off a bit differently too. Back when I first started out up until recently I would write out the script in sections, draw/colored the CG's afterwards, etc. until the route was done. Even though I like doing this it left me with a lot of scrapped content which included many unused CG's/scripts. Now that Day 3 is finished I want to treat it as a starting ground while I continue out the rest of the game. So much of my initial plans/ideas have changed and I've learned so much so I feel a lot more prepared! I'll probably create a layout showing what'll happen like I did in the past.🌸 >:]

In between this I'll take breaks to catch up on old art I never got a chance to finish since most of my time was put into getting as much as I could done for the [New Update], asks, amongst other things to avoid burn out.🌸

Endings guide:

I'll get to work on creating a Endings guide! I want the [New Update] to simmer a bit more so spoilers aren't seen too early especially for those that are new here and still playing the game. :[]

🩷Q&A / Ask box is open!🩷:

I've gotten a lot of asks recently with the last few days and I appreciate the patience when it comes to me answering them. I'll try to draw unique illustrations but expect some duplicate/sketch-ish art in return! Some asks won't be answered if it contains spoilers! 🩷 :]

Hi guys and welcome new followers, hope you all had a great month of April! Here's a tiny preview of how everything is going behind the scenes for the month of April!🌸

If you're interested in seeing the full in-depth progress update or even be in the credits of the full game, join my ->[Patreon]! It serves as a monthly-tip jar / game credit perk for those that would like to support the development of the game while my ->[Ko-fi] is a alternate tip jar! This helps me tremendously behind the scenes!🌸

During the start of month I continued working on the user interface in between drawing where I gave myself breaks to avoid "burn out". I wanted to have a starting ground for the "Achievements" tab and now that I have the basic idea of wanting 21 in total, I went on to work with the "Art Collection."

Throughout gameplay there will be variables that will check if the player has seen certain pieces of art while playing.

Mini Day 4 preview:

So far all the data I've been getting from the weekly polls is giving me better ideas on how I want to do Day 4. I have the basics down of how it'll go and old scripts to look through since so much of my old ideas have changed. I need more community feedback so I'll continue doing polls into May while doing "Day 4" script work. 🌸

I'm also dealing with a bit of "burn-out" right now which I didn't notice until just a few days ago even though I was trying to give myself breaks. Most if it stemmed from several different places which was subconsciously overwhelming/bothering me and it's been hard trying to regather myself. Hopefully later throughout May I'll be able to refocus my thoughts and actually get more stuff done!🌺

*Re-uploaded and fixed due to bots spamming me! :,]

Helloo guys and welcome new followers, we're halfway through April which means it's time for a little sneak peek towards the game's progress!!

If you want to follow the full process and have a in-depth look into what I'm doing behind the scenes, please consider joining my ->[Patreon!]🌸

Day 4 insight:

**Hopefully before the end of the month I'll have the time to do some script work/CG for Day 4!

It's about to be 2 months since the [New Update] and I want to create some polls to get some community feedback while there's still some retention towards the game. I'm interested in what people liked about the game, quality of life, choices, routes, etc. so I can take player feedback into consideration and possibly implement them into future content. This will help me get a better idea of how I want to dive into Day 4 so comments, likes, shares etc. would be greatly appreciated around this time! Except a poll to be posted some time tomorrow! :,D

With that being said, here's a small preview into this month's devlog!:

Here's a small look into the user interface for the "Gallery"! After so much trial and error I finally figured it out! There's still more to be done but I'm getting better at learning this! :,D

Also, thank you to everyone who voted on the Patreon poll ->[here!] and the recent April fools meme event poll ->[here!] I'm still in the process of sketching the second "Noah x Y/N" illustration and the winning vote on here. The doodles looks really really rough right now so I don't want to show it just yet. :,D

Hi guys and happy warm welcome to new followers! I have some exciting news to share!

🏝️ I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE A MOBILE/TABLET VERSION! AAAAA!!🌞

OMG WHEN WILL THIS BE AVALIABLE?!:

I'm aiming for the mobile [New Update] to be released some time this week!! :] I was originally going to make it a surprise but given how much it took to get it to work and this being my first time doing this I want to be transparent about it.

Once I got it up and running I ran into several issues from Noah's missing his side sprites, text/textbox being misaligned, visual assets missing, text-buttons missing, choices being too big on the screen, etc. I went through and added/adjusted as much as I possibly could to make sure it was compatible with mobile phones and did a couple of tests and for the most part, everything looks about ready.

The only thing I was not able to fix was the "[Endings Gallery]".

Tablet/Laptop version:

Phone version:

I tried just about everything and I could not get the "[Endings Gallery]" angled correctly and unfortunately I can't figure it out for right now. The only good news I can share is that it works fine but just shifted too far to the right. I might make the text in the box smaller so it doesn't get cut-off screen jusssttt in case. :,[]

There's also less than 2 days to vote on the Trembling Essence:💙Multiple choices feedback poll!💙 ->[Here!] so if you played the game but haven't voted yet please do! :D

Outside of that I think everything else should be good but I'll do a few more tests just in case. This is all I have to share currently, if you have any questions let me know!

Hi guys and happy 🥥🌴🌺summer break!🥥🌴🌺 I’m writing up the story progression for Day 4 and I would like to know, given everything leading up to this scene, which choice did you pick when you played the [New update]?

This will help me get a better idea of where I to place certain scenes in Day 4 and I would really appreciate any feedback on why you picked a specific choice, honest answers please.

Please only answer if you played the [New Update], if you haven’t and would like to here’s a link to my itch.io ->[Here!]

Also please, rate the game ->[Here!] This really helps out the demo behind the scenes!

Hello guys just wanted to give a quick update about the android/tablet version of the game since I've been a little quiet since my last post!

☀️🏝️The Trembling Essence[New Update] will be available to download on 6/12/2026 at 5:00p.m PT!🌞🌴

Since this is my first time doing this I want to be transparent about when it's coming out on itch.io, I'll make one last post about it once it's officially uploaded as well! :D

I did more testing and found a few more errors I didn't catch at first but as of now, everything looks better and just about ready. **The only thing I can't fix right now is the "[Endings Gallery]" but this shouldn't effect overall gameplay since it looks to be just a visual issue.

This is all I have to share again, if you have any questions let me know!

Helloo helloo guys, hope you all are having a great weekend and happy early🌻Spring break🌻! We're halfway through March so here's a small sneak peek of how things are coming along towards the game!

Here's a look into the interface progress I've been making:

Hi guys and welcome new followers, hope you all are having a good start into the season of spring! Here's a tiny preview of how everything is going behind the scenes for the month of March!🌿

At the end of Feburary/start of March I wanted to get better at prioritizing my time and develop better habits when it comes to game development amongst other things. I purchased a cute mini calendar so I can keep track of what I want to do and now that I have a new laptop, I used old tips/donations from long ago to get a new hard drive to back up everything just in case! A big thank you to those that did this!💚

Interface cleanup:

Here's a small look into what I've been doing. The new tab I created called "Gallery" and there's a new fade-in transition choice now!
