Entropic Float Biweekly Update #16

      





This update's art is from Ham Mug on skeb! Fair warning, this artist does a lot of NSFW art. It's hidden by default if you're not logged in/haven't changed your settings on skeb, but I figured I would disclaim that first!

This Madeline really looks amazing. She's so powerful... Though she's a 'side character' to the narrative of Entropic Float, she's a personal favorite of mine! Fun fact, she started out as a fancharacter for Magical Girl Raising Project, but I fell in love with the design and had to repurpose her for an original work~

My progress since last time is pretty solid, so let's go ahead and get right into that!


Writing:

The majority of what I've done since last time is writing! How much writing?
7/31 standard segments. I misread my own outline last time, and turns out I had 3, not 2, completed at the time. The four segments since then are three puzzle rooms and the landing section between those and the next three.
I have 17/36 Memory Seeking segments written. That's nearly halfway already, and is 8 new segments since last time!
This works out to 24/74 segments of the Miracle Route. Now that I've built what I need, I expect to be able to ramp up the writing even more, but I already more than doubled what I had at this time two weeks ago! Here's to another productive two weeks!

Voice Acting:




No change since last time

Background Music:

No change since last time


My goal progress from last time:
- Write at least 3 Standard Segments Done! I wrote 4
- Write at least 5 Memory Seeking Segments Done! I wrote 8
- Create the second batch of new assets for the Miracle Route Done!
- Implement imagebuttons for the Memory Seeking screen Done!

My goals for next time:
-Write 7 Standard Segments, completing two different puzzle room sets.
-Write at least 6 Memory Seeking Segments
-Create the third batch of new assets for the Miracle Route
-Create the fourth batch of new assets for the Miracle Route

The imagebutton implementation did take some time- It ended up being basically all I was able to get done last weekend. All of my other progress, excluding maybe a few sentences, has been from weekdays or from this weekend. And hey, this weekend's not quite over yet! I might be able to get a little bit more written. I always put this update last on my EF To-Do list on Sundays, but that doesn't mean I'm done for the day when I post it, just that I finished everything I wanted to before it was time to share!

It's also worth noting that among my 'standard segments', there are actually 4 that are styled the same way as the Memory Seeking Segments. The epilogues are, as well. The main draw of this style is that I can write it while away from my home computer- Mainly, what I need to do at home is writing that involves active code, and to some extent, scenes that use talksprites. So we could technically also say that rather than 31, 36, and 7, I have 27 and 47. 27 segments that absolutely need to be written at my desktop computer, and 47 segments that can be written from my laptop. Maybe that's an arbitrary distinction, but it helps me to keep in mind, and maybe it'll give you more faith in me to hit my goals if we look at them from a different perspective!

With four full development cycles left before I want to have the Miracle Route to my beta testers, that requires me to write... 12.5 segments each cycle from here on out. Given that I wrote 12 in this cycle, I'm actually on track to do that! Isn't that nice! By exceeding my goals this past cycle, I was able to shrink the goal I need to hit on future cycles... Funny thing, that.

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...

May Update: Midnight's Requiem Complete Edition, Backer Rewards, and EF2 Progress!!

  Leading with the most exciting part! Remember when we hit the stretch goal to have Stephanie's VA record the full version of Midnight's Requiem, with the lyrics that Prinxe wrote? Well, I've finally uploaded the result for your listening pleasure! Of course, the Renfield Future track will be up next, but I have a bit more to do on that one before I can share it, so enjoy Stephanie's wonderful vocals for the time being! Now, Rewards! The physical rewards are IN PRODUCTION right now, at the manufacturer~ They're on the way! If you missed out on any, there are a limited number of extras of each new design coming my way. Digital Rewards meanwhile- I've finished commissions for backers who are also receiving physical rewards. If you got digital rewards only, your art is still on the way! I took a small step back from working on rewards after getting the manufacturing order in, to focus on the game itself for some time, but it shouldn't be too long until you s...

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...
