Entropic Float

  Hello everybody! It’s update time again, and the only one I’ll be sharing in July- With Artfight going on, that’s taking up most of my focus. As a reminder, my username over there is Nhitori ! The month of July brings with it a major opportunity to improve my artistic skills and receive relevant art in return- In the first 5 days, I’ve already received this art of Box by Kimekona that I’d like to share! So, how about those goals from last time? Two more character zones (Bea’s that I started earlier, and one more) Implement a zone Implement the voice acting that I have I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to complete any of these. I was able to begin the other zone besides Bea’s that I was aiming for, but again, couldn’t complete it. My regular job continued being busy, to the degree that it’s only just lightened up on me these past few days- at which point Artfight had already begun. I had expected to have a chance to work on zones during Portcon, but there weren’t any periods of time s...

  Hello everybody! It has been, frankly, a rough few weeks over here- I tabled at Rhode Island Anime Con, sandwiched right in between two weeks of overtime. When I wrote this period’s list of goals, I was optimistic about what I’d be able to get done when I arrived at yesterday… And as one might imagine, I didn’t exactly have it in me to buckle down and complete tasks at the tail end of all that. I got some household stuff done, and that’s about all I had in me. So, what’s the list looking like? Another character zone: Not done, started on Bea’s a bit but could not get into the flow, and a minor injury at work made it a lot harder to hold the felting needle- don’t worry, all healed now. Digitize at least one zone as well: Done! I actually DID get into the flow on this and digitized two, so that’s one less task for next dev period. Finish all first convos for Jane: Not quite done. All her first convos with other characters are, but there are two more just between her and Ame that ne...

  Hello everybody! It’s update time~ Some good stuff since the last update, but of course, we’ll lead with the game progress that’s been made! Last time’s goals! One more zone’s assets: Done! Finish the zone assets that I started in the first part of May: Also done! Finish all first convos for Tony: Done! Finish all first convos for Cobalt: Done! Fill in some small writing gaps: Done! I was able to accomplish all the goals that I set for these two weeks- The assets have been made for both Renfield and Syoko’s first zones, all of Tony and Cobalt’s first-conversations are written, and I’ve fixed all the missing introductions and such that I could find! In news not-so-related to the game development, my parents just got a new puppy. As is the requisite pet tax, I’ve included a photo of him in this update~ Moving on- While I might not have a ton to say about this dev period’s progress, it’s definitely substantial! With Tony and Cobalt, two of the characters now have something to say f...

  Hi everybody- welcome to the first May update, and happy mother’s day! I’d love to accompany this update with some art of Greta, the undisputed best mother of the Entropic Float world thusfar, but artfight is currently undergoing maintenance so I actually can’t go and gather anything you haven’t already seen- oops! So instead, let’s jump right into the goals! Implement that digitized Munya zone: Done! The zone is fully functional~ Digitize another zone, maybe Tony’s?: Done! Tony’s indeed. Make the assets for another zone: Not quite done! With various things going on, I wasn’t able to finish the assets I got started on- this time for Renfield’s zone. I had planned to work on Bea’s first zone (the assets I already completed are for her second, since I had a very clear vision for it!) only to discover that I was actually missing some supplies I needed for it- I thought I had another black felt piece to use as the backdrop, and it turns out I do not. Easy enough to fix, but I didn’t...

  Hi everyone! It’s the second April update~ This time, I’ve got a bit more to say, since I can now sit and type at my computer without worsening eye pain! But even so, let’s jump right in to the past period’s goals: Digitize a character zone (not necessarily implement): Done! I was able to digitize Munya’s first zone. Finish implementing Greta zone: Done, for now! Write an additional 7 conversations: Done! Finish some previously sketched CGs: Done! I had a total of five CGs that had been sketched but not completed, and I ended up being able to finish all five of them~ It turns out that the digitizing process was… A lot easier than I had built it up in my head. I was pretty worried I wouldn’t be able to make it work in a way that made sense, but it turned out just fine- It didn’t take too long, and my approach worked on the first attempt without needing to adjust, so I’m much more confident about the process moving forward! Meanwhile, with Greta’s zone- ‘done for now’ is where I’m ...

  Hello everybody! It’s update time! A short one for our mid-month update today because I’m having a bit of a weird eye problem and thus trying to limit my screentime a bit. How’d I do on the list? Write another 5 conversations: Wrote 3.5 more Finish the assets for another character zone: Done! I made the assets for Munya’s zone and got started on another. Implement a character zone: Not done, but started! I did begin the process of implementing a character zone, but then the aforementioned limiting of screentime came into the picture, so I wasn’t able to finish yet- I’ve not encountered any roadblocks in the actual process though, no problems coding it in so far! I instead spent some extra time on making zone assets, since all but two characters have non-digital artstyles for those, so I completed Munya’s and was able to begin on Syoko’s. As for the conversation writing, I just didn’t squeeze out enough time during the weekdays with convention prep and recovery in the mix. I’ll ju...
