Entropic Float Biweekly Update #13

   




Lucky number Thirteen. The art this week was commissioned from Mikoko on skeb!

Doesn't she look lovely and peaceful here? It's been a character trait of Stephanie for a long time that she has an 'unnatural beauty'. Seriously, I made the very first version of her character a whole decade ago! She's hardly the same character at all anymore, but if I showed you early art of her, you'd definitely recognize her visual design.

The Rashmi Night Route has some promising scenes in store for Stephanie, too, so we're back to featuring art that suits the progress.

Without further ado, here's what that progress is!




Writing:

49/54 segments. I only ended up writing one... Well, more like one and a half. I just wasn't going to be able to finish writing that first puzzle room today and still have the time to write this update! Luckily, writing wasn't my focus this development cycle anyway, and I bet I'll more than make up for it in the next two weeks.

Talksprites:



No change since last time.

Voice Acting:




Since last time I received lines for Touko and for JJ! True is the only one left, and due to his appearance in Heart Fragment, those delays have a bit to do with me, not just the VA. So we're in great shape!

Background Music:

I did add a new track this time! Wow! It's called Work The Game! Here it is! 



My goal progress from last time:
- Add one more music track. For real this time. I did this! You can see it above!
-Begin setting up steamworks and itch.io Partially done! I set up itch but not Steamworks because it intimidates me more.
-Write 2 Segments of the Rashmi Night Route I wrote one of them! So also partially done!
-Spruce up a few pieces of the GUI I did this, you can see screenshots at the bottom of the post!
-Draw that last hand-drawn CG that was on my list... Yeah, this is done!
-And also draw the 3 new pieces of art I roped myself into making for a puzzle room. I drew the art but I have yet to implement!

My goals for next time:
- Write 5 segments of the Rashmi Night Route
- Develop an outline to track progress of the True End 
- Implement fixes to the Kanatsun Routes as found by my beta testers

Only the first goal is really priority- The other two can easily be pushed to the beginning of March if I need extra time, hopefully joining a goal of packing the Rashmi Routes for beta at that time.

As for what I accomplished outside of my usual categories, that's most of what I did this cycle! I drew some important art, which I'll leave off the post. I implemented the Starfield Gaming splash screen. But what I can show you right now are the buttons I made for the character profiles screen, and the chibi indicators which will, when you're on a normal route, display at all times which characters are present, in a different room, or dead.

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...

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...
