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 #6

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! Here we have some lovely themed art of Shinji by Tree Dorothy on Skeb ! This update, I have a few pieces of exciting news! The first is unrelated to the game development itself, but I've recently gotten a new job that should give me more opportunity to work on Entropic Float each weekend. The second, much more relevant update is that I've officially partnered with Starfield Gaming , the developer of Heart Fragment ! While we've already been working together for some time now, Entropic Float will now officially be releasing as a Starfield title when the time comes! And if you're looking forward to that day, I'd definitely recommend giving Heart Fragment a shot in the meantime. It's a Psychological Otome Game that, as of the time of writing this update, has two fully completable routes (with more on the way!) and is 50% off of its usual price, only five dollars for quite a bit of content- And the art is prettier than Entrop...

Entropic Float 2 Demo And Kickstarter Launch!

Picture a point-and-click adventure game. Now picture a branching, time-looping ontological mystery visual novel. Entropic Float 2 combines those into its gameplay concept: A point-and-click where you can never solve every puzzle at once. Where you have one key that fits two locks... And the only way to see what's behind the lock you didn't choose is to die, repeat the day, and try something different this time. With only you and your protagonist aware of the loop, seek an answer that earns new information. Through trial and error, solutions and murder... Can you find the way through this new Anomaly? In early 2021, I started working on a project just for fun. Using the character creator and scene assembly tools of Illusion's Koikatsu, paired with the visual novel engine ren'py, I decided to learn to make a VN. A year and a half, over three hundred thousand words, and quite a bit of pocket money later, I released 'Entropic Float: This World Will Decay And Disappear...
