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 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...

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...

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...
