EF2 March Update 1: Feeling back on track!

  Hello all! It’s March, and I’m back, just like I said I would be. This is the first update for the month, and the next will be on 3/29 - Per usual, we’re tabling at CTGamercon on 3/14 and 3/15, so that date will ensure I have a weekend at home to actually work on things before updating again! Something I still didn’t exactly end up getting throughout February- Despite that, how did I do on those goals? Implement that key item I forgot about: Done! The first key item in the game can now be acquired and used. Finish the assets for another character zone: Done! The Bea zone I previewed last time has been completed. Write 8 more conversations: I wrote 5 more… I’m still going to hold off on sharing the next progress bar until it can be a little more satisfying. I just about managed the list! I had planned to do most of the conversation writing in downtime while visiting some friends for a few days, but our schedules ended up lining up well- too well, when it came to that particular pl...

EF2 February Update: Apologies For The Wait!

  Hello everybody! So, as you may have noticed… There was no regularly-scheduled devlog on January 25th. The skipping of that update was mentioned at the time on the discord, and on my personal tumblr (though not the official one) and that’s about as much as I could manage that particular weekend. To make a long story short- December is usually slow at my day jobs. January and February are usually not slow, but are primarily occupied by a particular project that I’m skilled at, which leaves me with a comfortable amount of free time. This year, December was busy, and another much more intensive project was scheduled alongside the usual Jan+Feb project. That intensive project really beat me up that week, including an unexpected 13-hour-shift with only a 15 minute break, and just the idea of needing to write and cross-post a devlog across every platform was too much for me, so I had to skip it. Not to get too into the weeds on my personal life, but to put it the most simply, I am ove...

EF2 January Update 1: Area 4 is Implemented!

  Hello! It’s January eleventh, which means it’s time for a development check-in! A quick update this time-  Let’s jump right in with a look at the goals for these first eleven days of the year: Finish implementing Area 4 Environments (Backgrounds, objekts, characters): Completed!  Make the assets for a character zone: Partially completed! So- Area 4 is fully functional now, and I also got to implementing the other environments that still needed to be added back into the earlier areas, like the riverbank in Area 1. As for the character zone, I made good progress, just not the exact progress I planned on. I took the time to sit down and determine the actual designs for a number of zones I hadn’t finalized yet. And I got the prep done for several zones (example below!), just didn’t get as far as completing them yet. So hopefully, in my next update, I’ll have two or potentially three asset sets ready~ So, to slightly modify the goals for the next part of the month, what I’ll...

EF2 December Update 2: Happy New Year!

  First off- I delayed this update by a couple days so that I could post on New Year’s Eve! Here’s a themed doodle of Bea for the occasion! 2025 has been a chaotic and challenging year, for a whole lot of reasons, so I’m happy to welcome 2026 and hope that it’s a little bit kinder to me and to the development process of Entropic Float 2. I feel it’s promising on that front though! Let’s take a look back at this month’s goals, as much as I was able to fit them around the holidays. Draw characters for the Area 4 backgrounds: This is done! Draw and implement Objekts for Area 4: They’re drawn, and they’re partially implemented! Make the assets for another character zone: I didn’t get to this one, I did a bit too much crafting this month to have the juice left for it, but January should be different~ So, I got a fair bit done! The Objekt implementation is a matter of- They’re implemented for the inventory, but not entirely in the environments, because I failed to remember that none of t...

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...
