Entropic Float Biweekly Update #11

Would you look at that, it's update eleven! The art this week was commissioned from Mameringo on skeb!

An especially fitting piece for this week's update, since the segments I wrote in this development period had a lot to do with the star of the image, Touko Nozomi. I'm still struggling to adjust to the 40 hour work-week, so I don't have quite as much to show for my time... Though as you'll see in this update, I did still meet some of my goals! Can't keep me down that hard.

Writing:

42/54 segments written! Another four knocked out. This time, that represents the 'in-between' room, second puzzle, and both endings of Rashmi's morning route. That's right, Rashmi's morning route is officially done! Seven out of nine base routes are now completed. Two more before I can start working on the true ending. And there's still half of January left!

Talksprites:

No change since last time.

Voice Acting:

No change since last time

Background Music:

No tracks have been added since last time. I know, I said I wanted to add one. I tried, too! But it was sounding real bad, so I gave up for now. I'll get there. However, I did upload the entire OST so far (OST being Original Soundtrack, excluding the royalty-free tracks used in the game) to youtube, and future new tracks will be added there as I create them! Embedded below is the 'theme track', and you can find the entire playlist here!

My goal progress from last time:

- ~~Finish the remaining 4 segments (Intermission, Puzzle Room, Both Endings) of the Rashmi Morning Route~~ ~~ahead of schedule!~~ Completed!

-Add one more music track Not completed!

-~~Start posting the OST to youtube~~ I did the whole thing!

My goals for next time:

- Add one more music track

- Write 3/6 segments of the Rashmi Noon Route ahead of schedule

- Begin the process of setting up my itch.io page and my steamworks page

Just a few tasks on my plate. Now, I've still got a few hours left in the day, so I'm hoping to begin progress on these goals right away. In addition to the writing that's properly road-mapped, I'm also sitting at 2 of 14 first drafts completed of a certain set of scenes for the True End, since these ones lend themselves quite well to being written when I'm away from my desk. Maybe I'll have a few more of those in the weeks to come, too.

Until next time!

Entropic Float 2: Character Reveal and Kickstarter Date!

Entropic Float 2... Characters! They're here! The video above shares some songs to help you get the feel on their personalities- And their profiles are available too! I've also been hard at work to get the demo ready before the Kickstarter, which I've decided to launch on 11/11/2023 ! Below, you can see the first talksprite for good ol' Kanatsune Ame. To temper expectations a bit- The demo will only cover the beginning of the game. The 'exposition loop', if you will. Several of these characters won't be appearing yet, and certain loop-related features will, well, not exist because there is no second loop to implement them on. It should, however, give you an idea of what the story's going to be, and how the main point-and-click gameplay will work. Just enough of a taster to let you know that EF2 is worth getting made! And I mean... Even if the Kickstarter fails, I'll make it anyway. It just might take me a good bit longer, and might miss out on some...

Entropic Float Biweekly Update #12

Time for Update Twelve. The art this week was commissioned from Niina on skeb! Not the most relevant image this time, since Peri doesn't actually appear in any of the Rashmi routes... But she's adorable, so don't hold it against me, okay? You also shouldn't hold it against me because, for all but the first two days after my previous update, I've had covid. Omicron's infectivity really is off the charts, and I'm a fragile person, so of course I had loads of symptoms. Nothing serious in the end, thanks to my triple vaccine, and my brainfog's cleared up over the past few days, so I still have some progress to share! Writing: 48/54 segments... That's right, despite spending most of my time sick, working from home during moments of clarity and playing video games during moments of utter fog... I actually wrote the entire Rashmi Noon Route. A big chunk of that was immediately following the last update, but I still doubled my goal of three segments... S...

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...
