Entropic Float Biweekly Update #20

          

Happy Memorial Day weekend! It's happy for me at least, since I have Monday off of work. This update's art is by Gonya on skeb . This close to release, I'm running out of anything to share that isn't filled with spoilers, but this art of Amelie is vague enough! Luckily, we only have two more updates between this one and release weekend.







Writing:


31/31 standard segments. 
36/36 Memory Seeking segments.
7/7 Epilogue segments.

That's right. 74/74 segments, 115,000 words in the route for 309,000 total. All written! Actually, I finished last weekend, so the game's been in my beta testers' hands for a week now. I'm very much ahead of schedule at the moment! And since the writing is now done, I can leave this section out of the remaining updates.

Background Music:

Those two BGM tracks I mentioned last week have been added to the OST Playlist. Both by Enokido. I'm also working on getting a track licensed for the game's end credits.


My goal progress from last time:
-Write the last 3 standard segments of the game Done!
- Write the remaining 3.5 epilogues Done!
- Draw one CG for the standard segments Done, and several CGs for non-standard segments as well.
- Update the walkthrough and beta instructions, and get the beta copy to my testers Done!

My goals for next time:
- Draw at least 6 CGs
- Add Steam Achievements

In this cycle, I finished writing the game. The final 6.5 segments. It wasn't hard to polish off, but I managed to do it in just a week! That means I was also able to get started on some of my June tasks before May is even over. And get started, I did.

I expected it would take me about a day to add sound effects to each branch. Instead, I've already finished with it! It gives me a lot of confidence to already be this much closer to release. I also fixed up some of the more awkward visuals in the game, and I've drawn seven CGs, six of which are for NVL segments. For this particular set of CGs, I need 48 images and currently have 28. Of the twenty remaining, I have commissions in for 8 of them. Leaving me with 12 to draw on my own, + potentially a few more if any of those commissions fall through. I also got my steam store page in for review, so hopefully in the next update I can point you towards wishlisting the game.

So what I've got left to do by release is...

  • Miracle Route Bug Fixes once my beta testers play it

  • Add Steam Achievements

  • Draw 12 CGs

  • Add Text Effects (Definitely to the Miracle Route, maybe to standard routes if I have time)

  • Make End Credits


Which isn't too shabby at all! One of this upcoming cycle's two weekends, I'm pretty busy, so I gave myself some low goals. No matter what, I'm 100% on track to release on time at this point. Which is really exciting, I think! Well, until next time, here's one of those 6 CGs I drew which is low on spoilers~

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...
