February Update: Month's Targets Exceeded! Onto The Next!

Hello! It’s time for the February update, and I’ve made lots of progress!

Let’s start things off by revisiting the goals I laid out a month ago:

Find the notebook where I wrote down location flowcharts. I somehow lost this in my apartment somewhere. I need to know the order of things! - I did, in fact, find this notebook! It was in a shelf, underneath my Kagamine Len Ita Bag.

^ Sketch the remaining BGs needed for Area 2, once I know exactly what I planned for those to be. - I sketched them! I then also lined, colored, and shaded them! All the backgrounds needed for Area 2 are ready to use!

Implement Area 1’s Pizzeria Minigame - This is the first place The Possum will appear~ - The minigame is implemented! You can make and receive a pepperoni pizza! You can also screw up making the pizza and get a consolation prize instead!

Add a GUI element showing which allies are currently recruited. - This is done! It only took about an hour!

So, as you can see, I didn’t just accomplish my goals for February- I exceeded them! Hurray! Area 2 is prepped to begin implementation. Besides this, I’ve also added another 7,000 words to the game since last time- Not even on writing full-blown scenes, just implementing more character reactions to being shown Objekts. There are currently 8 objekts fully implemented with methods to obtain them and inventory icons, and 9 more that are coded in with visuals in the works. Nowhere near all of them, but I’ll probably wait to add more to the list until I’ve written in the reactions for each character being added into Area 2. Best take things incrementally!

It won’t be very long till I update again on March 8th, but here are the goals I have for the next couple weeks:

Create the assets for and implement a Zone (Character-Thematic Minigame) for Area 1, so a piece of Evidence can be acquired with which to open Area 2
Make travel throughout Area 2 Possible
Add characters into Area 2

And some further goals to have done by the second March update, but which I’ll get started on if I finish the above:

Add Objekts into Area 2
Sketch backgrounds needed for Area 3 (Six more than I already have prepped or sketched)
Create a map for the ‘Tony’s Rides’ function

And that’s about it! March will mark the start of my updating twice a month for this game, so I’ll be talking to you again soon. Thank you for reading!

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 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...
