Entropic Float Biweekly Update #21

I'm running out of images that are spoiler-free enough to share here! So instead of a commission, you get one of my own CGs for the game as this update's featured art. This is for Jazz's backstory- Back when she was an undergrad! The character she's with is named Angel- Of course, someone as extroverted as Jazz would have friends outside of the main cast!

I also wanted to let everyone know that the Steam Page was approved, so while you can't donate when you download over there like you can with itch, feel free to wishlist the game if you didn't plan to donate, or just for convenience sake!

Anyway, we're so close to release now, it's time to do away with the categories and just focus on my tasklists!

My goal progress from last time:

~~- Draw at least 6 CGs~~ Done! I drew all 12

~~- Add Steam Achievements~~ Done!

My goals for next time:

Receive and act on remaining bug reports

Assemble and implement end credits

In this cycle, I drew the 12 remaining CGs that were on my own list. I've also received one of the eight that I have commissions in for! Furthermore, I implemented all the steam achievements, fixed a handful of bugs, and added all the text effects that I wanted for both the Miracle Route and the Standard Routes!

I commissioned a song for the end credits, but I have yet to receive a revised version necessary to actually start assembling those credits. Still, I got a headstart on display cards for voice actors and guest artists! I also used these cards to create some tiny character-specific teaser trailers to start releasing on twitter and tumblr each weekday until July. Basically, I'm getting as many extra tasks done as I can, since I'm so ahead of schedule....

In fact, all I've got left to do by release is...

Miracle Route Bug Fixes

Make End Credits

I also do still need to receive a few CGs from guest artists, but that part is out of my hands. Right now, I aim to have a build in for checks before June is over. This should be easy enough- Worst case scenario, I have to push a patch with an image or two if I don't receive them in time. That's about all I've got to say! Keep an eye out for those teaser trailers, 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 in 2023: An Update!

Happy New Year, everybody! It's 2023 and I have a lot of plans! I'll start out by offering reminders that there's a survey to influence the contents of the Entropic Float DLC (Letters To A Beloved Ghost) and make sure that you get to see your favorite characters again, as well as a few pieces of official Entropic Float Merch available on my etsy store. There are stickers of the full cast, keychains of the protagonists and antagonist, and pin buttons of each standard ending- But if there's a particular piece of merchandise you'd want to see, feel free to contact me and let me know. Entropic Float: Letters To A Beloved Ghost As mentioned above, there's a survey to influence this DLC's content, but that...

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...
