Entropic Float 2 December Update #1: Backgrounds!

  Hello everybody! It’s midway through December- That means it’s update time! With everything going on this month, I did set smaller goals, with plans to catch up in January if those still fell short. So far this month… Draw the remaining backgrounds necessary for area 4 - Done! Sharing one of those below~ Draw characters for the Area 4 backgrounds - Partially complete! I’ve sketched them into their positions, but have yet to finish them fully. So, mostly on track! Since I did get started on the characters, I’ll carry that goal into the rest of the month, though I’m also still working on making gifts for the people in my life, and completing holiday season etsy orders for others! This is the usual stuff of December, and regular work has also been busier this year than it usually is this month (as mentioned last update) so I’m doing my best. If only gamedev paid the bills… EF2 might be done by now if I could afford to focus only on it! This period’s backgrounds are, as mentioned bef...

EF2 November Update #2 : Backgrounds and Sketch-Refs!

 Hi everybody! It's the end of November, so it's time for another update! It also marks two years since the successful Kickstarter to cover the CGs and Voicework of the game. I'll admit that I hoped to be further in development by now, but balancing life with a project of this scale has proven to be more of a challenge than anticipated. Still, I'm so grateful to have had that boost early on in the process, and will continue doing my best! So, how about those goals from last time? Complete the other three backgrounds remaining in the WIP folder:  Done! Write another 5 standard conversations:  Didn't end up happening- Finish drawing every ref that Shoii needs for the remaining memory CGs: Yes! One for CROWNPRIMROSE as a little kid below~ I'd like to think I kept up okay, though I've still been falling short in the writing department, that should swing all the way back around pretty soon- Once I catch up on all the art needed for the first four areas, these con...

Renfield Future Song Release + EF2 November Update #1

  BIG NEWS FIRST- “Not Your Cherry Sundae” by Renfield Future has finally released! The ability to create this song by the in-universe band was made possible with a Kickstarter stretch goal, which covered the costs of composition and recording- But it took a bit longer for me to be able to order the cover image commission. It’s well worth the wait. Rex Rosario’s vocals and Soyokaze’s art make for a wonderful music video! Moving along to the actual development update, let’s look at the previous update’s goals. Complete at least 3 more backgrounds: Done! Again, I’ll share one below. Write at least 6 more standard conversations: Well, I was able to write two of them- Not a big enough advancement to share a progress bar this time. Create the assets for one Character Zone: Done! Everything’s created for Jane’s zone (and the puzzles are function-checked), the other step is to digitize those assets and implement the minigame. One down! If you’re wondering why I fell so short on that conv...

Happy Halloween! EF2 October Update~

 Hello! A few days later than I said I’d update again- Happy Halloween! I delayed the update so that I could be truly on theme when sharing this lovely piece of art from the ever-amazing Soyokaze! Twelve members of the EF2 Cast are waiting in the candy bucket- Pick out your favorite Halloween costume of the bunch!! So, moving forward- How about those goals from last time? Complete at least 5 more backgrounds - Done! I’ll share one of these below~ Get the conversation progress number up to 40/590 - We’re at 39/590 which I think is close enough to call it a success. Finish up the three Objekts I currently have in the WIP files folder - Done! The next update will be on Sunday 11/16, just a smidge over two weeks from the update today. So, let’s go over the goals for this period! Complete at least 3 more backgrounds Write at least 6 more standard conversations- This being conversations only between Ame and the character, not involving another ally, so they only increment the counter by ...

EF2 October Update 1: We're back!

 Hi everybody! I already made a small update announcing the release of our Spooktober project, The Haunting Of Kurumi Mori, but this is our first real update back from the hiatus! As mentioned, I was still working on the game when I could, but I was also very busy. So, what got done? Writing! I mostly just squeezed in writing character conversations when I got the chance. Keeping in mind that the number increments twice for conversations involving multiple characters- We're still 19 steps closer to having a detailed and involved world here! I also have  made progress on drawing backgrounds, but not anything I can quantify yet- I mostly worked on lining sketches, rather than coloring and rendering, so while a fair few backgrounds are closer to finished, no more of them are  finished than before. So, with that out of the way, let's set some actual goals for the rest of October! My next devlog will be on 10/25 (And will be the first one posted to kickstarter since the hiatus...

The Haunting Of Kurumi Mori: Spooktober 2025 Entry! (And An EF2 Check-In)

The Haunting Of Kurumi Mori Is Now Available! This is an entry to the Spooktober 2025 Visual Novel Jam- Made by myself and an amazing team (PrinxeCatqueer, TollingBells, and Chaotic_ERROR with additional beta testing by Quartoch!) entirely within the month of September! And oh boy, am I ever pleased with the result. It might not be one of those games that you wonder 'how was this made for a gamejam', but I'm proud of how our hard work came together to create this lovely little side-game set in the Entropic Float universe. It's a standalone story, but there's a subtle cameo-mention of a character you know and love, and this game will introduce you to a couple of characters whose stories will eventually intersect with that of our heroes. Now, as for Entropic Float 2- I'll admit it was a smart, if painful, move for me to take this hiatus from sharing updates. My summer was stressful in a hundred different ways, and I genuinely don't think I could have even mana...

EF2 May Update 2: Farewell For Now!

  Hello everybody! Welcome to the 5/31 update, the second May update, the final update before the update hiatus begins! And what have I accomplished since the first May update? Not a whole lot, honestly! Attending a large convention is fun but exhausting (Got a little con plague, too), so almost all of the energy I had left went toward working on commissions from etsy. No part of the Kickstarter budget included wages for my time working on the game, so unfortunately, I must still prioritize other work! Even so, ‘not a whole lot’ isn’t the same as ‘nothing at all’! Let’s look at last update’s goals: Finish at least 3 of those Area 4 Backgrounds: This one didn’t happen. All the time I’ve been able to spend at my desk has gone into commissions this period. Sketch some subprimary backgrounds for the areas already done: This one, however, did happen! I sketched all those subprimary backgrounds and even one of the backgrounds for Area 5. The wonders of the sketches being possible anywher...
